Coulter: I’m victim of ‘hate crimes against conservatives’

TTAWA -- Firebrand US conservative Ann Coulter has accused a Canadian university provost of "hate crimes against conservatives" and called for a human rights probe of the matter, a local paper said Tuesday.

The American right-wing pundit and author is in Canada for a trio of speeches.

Ahead of a talk at the University of Ottawa on Tuesday evening, she said she was warned by provost Francois Houle to use "restraint, respect and consideration" when speaking at the school.

Coulter told the Ottawa Citizen newspaper: "Now that the provost has instructed me on the criminal speech laws he apparently believes I have a proclivity (to break), despite knowing nothing about my speech, I see that he is guilty of promoting hatred against an identifiable group: conservatives."

"The provost simply believes and is publicizing his belief that conservatives are more likely to commit hate crimes in their speeches. Not only does this promote hatred against conservatives, but it promotes violence against conservatives," she said.

I guess madly scribbling on the back of a bar napkin wasn't going to cut it.

10. I think they showed her great respect-
in warning her.

They could have simply arrested her after the fact.

11. Annie, Annie, Annie. Really! Its not liberals or conservatives that bother
them. I think that they've seen your act and perhaps even read your books. Sooner or later, the birds come home to roost.

14. The provost surely had access to Anne's previous words and works and therefore drew a reasonable
conclusion about how she might present her thoughts. That is not bias against conservatives, that is simply taking note of one person's behavior and admonishing her not to make any statements with the tone she has been known to use in the past while she is a guest there.

Ann Was Banned from Coulter Family Reunion so ...
Why is she whining? I, like Ann, am a decendant of Peter Coulter who had reunions each year. One year Ann came and after 30 minutes the Coulters were avoiding the foul mouthed, ill mannered woman. Now this is a conservative family and yet to this day when her name pops up among these people laughter usually follows. When I was invited to the reunion for the first time, I was informed not to let Ann know when and where the reunion was. Talking to my relatives each tell this story and express what a looney she is. POOOOOOOR ANNNNNNIE even her family avoids her.

18. Someone tells you to keep it tame and you react that you are the victim.
Edited on Tue Mar-23-10 05:33 PM by YOY
Waaaahbulance indeed.

On edit...I once assumed that the only reason why she was the darling of the dipshits is because she was a relatively attractive blonde woman preaching to a bunch of lonely men with misogynistic predilections.

Well some folks age gracefully...folks like Jamie Lee Curtis, Sean Connery, and Susan Sarandon... She is not one of them. Her exterior is looking like her interior.

19. Only in her odd little mind
Is a warning to behave appropriately (something most of us don't need to be told) a threat of violence.

This borders on psychotic.

20. Poor little Annie. Nobody pays her much attention any more.
A demented alcoholic rodeo clown and a drug-addled ass-boiled hate radio bloviator have taken away her audience. Call the waaaaahmbulance.

Better yet, ignore her skanky ass completely. She looks like a stick insect that thinks it's a roadhouse hooker, and her hyperbolic claim of victimhood has become truly pathetic.

21. Screw you, Coulter!
Throwing a tantrum because somebody asks you to be civil is just asinine.

Even more asinine? Claiming that this person doesn't know what she's written/said in the past. Hel-LO, they do have the internet in Canada. And why would they have her as a speaker if they didn't know what she's about?

Perhaps she'll want to fill out one of these:

29. Holy shit! Somebody asked her for "restraint, respect and consideration"!
This is the poor skag who made a career of saying stuff like, "We need to execute people .. in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too." Asking her to show restraint is vicious and mean-spirited :rofl:

should ride camels rather than let them fly in planes (or something like that). Good that she got shut down. I'm so proud of Ottawa U.
