Ann Coulter: 'I'm the victim of a hate crime'

What is she talking about? She's a walking, talking hate-crime the moment she shows up.

By the left's definition of hate crime, I would agree with Ann. By my definition no. However, the email was ignorant.

Another gem of irony all dressed up and ready to head to the hypocrisy ball.

Yes, An Coulter you are hated.

The moral of reality Ann is: You reap what you sow.

By the left's definition of hate crime,

I don't anyone on the left defines objecting to an evening of hate speech as a hate-crime.

The left, and most anyone else, defines a hate crime as a crime committed against a person or group because of their religious views, their race, their gender, or their sexual orientation.

Ann wasn't there to talk about religion (spewing about how everone else's is plain wrong and they should be converted to Christianity doesn't count). So I fail to see how the protest against her meets the left's (or anyone's) definition of a hate-crime.

Oh, Dulcinea,

However, the email was ignorant.

The e-mail was to let her know that she should not be ignorant of Canadian Law!

Ann Coulter makes me want to vomit.

For cripe's sake. She was asked to act in a mature manner. So what? If they really hated her, she wouldn't have been there in the first place.

Maybe, just maybe, if she stopped making a living spewing hate she would not be the "victim" of a hate crime.

Just one question. What was the crime? I did not know that it was a crime in Canada to object to a purveyor of hate. Did someone actually lay a hand on her? Was she dragged behind a pick up truck to her death? Was she lynched? Was she set on fire? Was she lynched while on fire? What was the crime?

Please point out what she would have said that violates Canadian Law.

Last time I checked, it wasn't written into Canadian Law to punish people before the crime.

The left, and most anyone else, defines a hate crime as a crime committed against a person or group because of their religious views, their race, their gender, or their sexual orientation.

Wrong because calling someone a 'socialist' is labeled as hate speech by the left.

As is saying "you lie" to someone.

As is saying anything not in support of Barack Obama.

Deny all you like, but it's evident on Newsvine judging by the amount of times I have been accused of writing hate speech.

By the left's definition of hate crime, I would agree with Ann. By my definition no. However, the email was ignorant.

The Right seems to assume (singly or en masse) that the Left defines "hate crime" as "anything we say that you don't like"... and so, any time there's a situation where they are challenged for saying those things, that's how they interpret the situation...

Douglas (#1.4) has the right idea, but of course that doesn't fit the conservative narrative, does it?

Wrong because calling someone a 'socialist' is labeled as hate speech by the left.

As is saying "you lie" to someone.

As is saying anything not in support of Barack Obama.

Bzzzzt. Wrong answer.

The first one we just assume you are a teabagger. No harm, no foul.

The second one we say, "Isn't it wonderful someone with Turret's Syndrome can serve in Congress."

The third we just assume you are a Republican. Again, no harm, no foul.

Dame, She was punished? Please. If she is so upset, why doesn't she just cancel? All of Canada would be better off she she didn't step foot in their country. I don't know why they wanted her in the first place.

Please point out what she would have said that violates Canadian Law.

Last time I checked, it wasn't written into Canadian Law to punish people before the crime.

(1) Obviously nobody can know what she would have said. Except for her. Duh.

(2) She wasn't punished by Canadian law. She was informed of it.

(3) My guess is: Because she her usual spewings of hate would violate that law and she didn't have the guts to go to jail for her beliefs, or because she decided she simply would make herself a victim rather than spew her usual hate, she chose not to speak.

Bzzzzt. Wrong answer.

Then perhaps you should take off you rose colored liberal glasses and read some responses to some of my posts. You may be alone on your list.

Dame, She was punished? Please. If she is so upset, why doesn't she just cancel? All of Canada would be better off she she didn't step foot in their country. I don't know why they wanted her in the first place.

Getting a lecture and getting talked down to is pretty much a punishment if you haven't said anything. It was certainly disrespectful. I don't concur with Ann Coulter's "hate crime" assessment, and frankly, it's ridiculous for her to even go there. However, it's beyond disrespectful to assume that someone is going to break the law before they even set foot on your campus. In that case, they should have not permitted her to speak.

I don't give a damn what Ann Coulter does. I just think it's ignorant to assume she's going to commit a crime or incite a riot, send a condescending email, and NOT ban her from campus.

"Yes, An Coulter you are hated."

"Ann Coulter makes me want to vomit."

Why, because you don't agree with her views? She doesn't think like you think? Change the channel, but don't hate or vomit. I hear Maddow and Olbermann need some viewers. It may be that you will agree with them. Your digestion will improve. Enjoy. Life is too short to hate or vomit.

stop blaming the victim guys.

Please.

Ann believes she is the victim and we should all support her seeking justice.

no matter how big an A-hole is, that person still deserves justice and we should thoroughly encourage Ms Coulter to seek it for herself.

then snicker when her case gets thrown out of court and she's revealed for the publicity hound she is.

I for one would fully welcome admitting I was wrong about that one.

how 'bout it Ann?

greck - please remember this whole thing took place in Canada.

Andi,

I know that, but my American values dictate my opinion about justice. Certainly there are bound to be some differences in laws, but I'm not the person that purported that a law was broken, Ann Coulter was.

This means that she believes she knows enough about Canadian law to make such a statement, and thus I encourage her to seek justice in Canadian court.

I personally think she's full of sh*t, and I'd love to see it proven, but I'd be perfectly accepting of a decision made in her favor too. Either way, I'm all for someone standing up for her rights.

Dame, Gosh, did I hurt your feelings? Kinda like Ann? If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

"I'm sure the Human Rights Commission will get to the bottom of it," Coulter said to loud cheers from the 800-strong audience. "I think I'm the victim of a hate crime here. Either what (Mr. Houle) did was a hate crime, or the whole commission is BS."

"the whole commission is BS" She has left an opening for her next talk show topic.

Cheers to the Students and Faculty of the University of Ottawa call me extreme but the only benefit her books provide is warmth being used as wicks for the gas furnace and the stove in the kitchen, I like it Real hot in the Kitchen Ann C. Hear me ;) !

Viners please respect the COH... oops, according to Ann and those stupid enough to believe her, I just committed a hate crime... Ann, EVERYONE hates you! Your own mother prays nightly that the Lord will let her go back in time and abort your dumbass!

Here's my prediction for the response from the HR commission: Ann, shut the F- up you stupid crack-whore and stop wasting our time with your nonsense.

Ann Coulter is larger than life and thus when she passes away won't fit into any known casket. But if you give her an enema she will fit in a shoe box.

da

Bubba-thanks a lot.... When I saw the name "Olbermann", I threw up in my mouth....

I think I just "vurped"?!

#1.1:What is she talking about? She's a walking, talking hate-crime the moment she shows up.

I am in agreement with you that she is hate-crime herself. It also shows you that other countries do not allow the hate mongering that goes on in this country - and will not tolerate it one bit.

Good for them!

Last time I checked, it wasn't written into Canadian Law to punish people before the crime.

Damn Q. How is cautioning a person punishment?

Damn Q. How is cautioning a person punishment?

When you're a Conservative, you think your **** don't stink, you're entitled and divined from God as one of the chosen "RIGHT" people of this country, when you think you are above the law....

Shall I continue?

Dear Ann,

It's always funny to see Vampires complain about the taste of blood...

#1.16:Ann believes she is the victim and we should all support her seeking justice.

I disagree wholeheartedly! Just because she believes and says she is a victim is no reason for me to support her seeking justice! People in the wrong usually use the "I'm the victim" mentality- especially when caught!

I believe she was forewarned because of her history of hate-mongering, and the university felt the need to warn her that this would not be allowed - before she perpetrated theses acts.

I feel she was not wronged, but conversely, was treated very respectful which is better than she treats the people she attempt to vilify and demonize!

NOT cool folks.We only stay respectable by ACTING respectably. I agree she should be vigorously protested against, anyone who is as divisive and hate-laden as she NEEDS to be protested.

Just because we totally disagree with her, does NOT mean it's ok to sink to their level.

I'm wondering what "identifiable group" she's a member of.

Dear Ann,

It's always funny to see Vampires complain about the taste of blood...

Rodney, very well played my friend.

Thanks

Bloody brilliant. Pun intended.

:)

She's a card carrying member of the GOP's 'elite' the Chupacabra Squad.

I think the white suited men need to jump Coulter and take her away to where she can no longer hurt herself or anyone else. This woman is a walking and talking hate crime. Almost every one of her words is full of hate and judgement. I think soon she will see her reflection in the mirror and all of that hate distorting her features and ruining her spirit and start screaming while trying to attack the mirror.

Please point out what she would have said that violates Canadian Law.

Last time I checked, it wasn't written into Canadian Law to punish people before the crime.

Dame Q. In his email to the Coultergeist, U of Ottawa Academic VP and Provost Francois Houle wrote:

"Our domestic laws, both provincial and federal, delineate freedom of expression (or "free speech") in a manner that is somewhat different than the approach taken in the United States. I therefore encourage you to educate yourself, if need be, as to what is acceptable in Canada and to do so before your planned visit here. Promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges." He went on to remind the Coultergeist of the strong Canadian tradition of "restraint, respect and consideration."

Now I know why I was so devastated the last time I was confronted with one of those "click-it or ticket" signs on the freeway.

If you consider the above to be punishment I want you for a judge should I ever break a law.

Thanks

Chupacabra Squad

:)) ROFL

LOL you're welcome Rodney

;)

Ann, you are a hate crime! You should have been run out on a rail LONG AGO!

Maybe she can join RUSH in Costa Rico

I hate her and that's not a crime.

It's not a crime to hate Coulter. Hell, if you're a rational human being, it's almost an obligation. That said, there was no "hate crime" here. Quite honestly, Coulter quailed at the thought of facing a crowd of critical protesters. Like all good demagogues faced with an unfriendly crowd, she made tracks for more productive venues.

And, seriously, isn't the "poor persecuted conservative" schtick pretty stale, already? Coulter opining on "double standards" is about like a $5 hooker talking about charity. Give it a rest, already.

Ann Coulter: 'I'm the victim of a hate crime'

she really should track down whoever hit her with the fugly tree....

Ouch!

lololol

Daaaaaaaaaaaaang Terry!

:D

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssnap!

The lefties are so proud when they are able to prevent a conservative speaker from giving a speech.....Coulter in Canada, Tom Tancredo at Chapel Hill....and of course, the university administration can't be bothered with dealing with the 'protesters' causing the disturbance....

"This kind of hate crime is not only legal, but commendable." Sure, lets forget civil discourse, and go directly to street fighting....

I'm glad to see a pig like Coulter being shouted down in advance. Let's all hope that kind of greeting follows her everywhere.

To the rightwingnuts: "Payback's a Bitch!"

I'm glad to see a pig like Coulter being shouted down in advance.

How dare you insult innocent pigs like that! What did they ever do to you? Comparing them to Coulter is beyond the pale!

;-)

However, the email was ignorant.

However, it's beyond disrespectful to assume that someone is going to break the law before they even set foot on your campus. In that case, they should have not permitted her to speak.

It's not as if Coulter doesn't have a history of saying things just to piss people off. There's a reason "inflammatory" is used so often to describe her. The catch is, this wasn't an event in the US with our very broad definition of "free speech." It was scheduled in Canada.

A seperate country. With it's own laws. It's own constitution. A narrower definition of freedom of speech where Coulter's usual statements that are protected here could cross legal lines there.

Canada is not "America Light" or a colony or protectorate of this country. Ann either doesn't seem to know that or expects to have diplomatic immunity.

The email was intended to help her keep out of trouble. If this is how she twists such an attempt at civility around, I say put her on a world tour, shield her from any further such pointers on local laws, and let her deal with the consequences of shooting off her mouth as she damn well pleases.

And, in the interest of acting on her opinions of big government, make sure we don't waste any Federal dollars bailing her bony ass out of any trouble she gets into as a result.

I think it should be a crime if you don't hate ann coulter what a disgusting woman I hope she never breeds

Cry me a river Coulter. Michael Savage was banned from Britain for his political views (and if I understand correctly he had/has never even been there). BANNED. He is on a list filled with serial murderers and Islamic extremist leaders - for being a Republican. By the way Republicans hate him to because he calls out his own party when necessary. The Republicans were conveniently absent when Savage asked for help to fight that. You get NO PITY FROM ME.

I don't think your comments about Muslims or Canadians were hate crimes... but neither is this.

You reap what you sow.

When did she become a farmer? :)

Anne Coulter: "I'm the victim of a hate crime"

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! POOOOOOOOOOOOOR little Annie! Waaaah! Waaah! Waaah! Just like her fellow neo-cons from the deepest parts of the sewer, she can dish it out just fine and dandy, but she sure as Hell can't take it! How does it feel to be on the other side of the fence now you vile, hypocrite bitch?

I'm wondering what "identifiable group" she's a member of.

I dunno, I don't think the human race. She has the soul of an inanimate object.

Man Coulter sure has one large Adam's Apple for a woman, anyone else ever notice??

Isn't Man complaining of a hate crime kinda like Satan calling someone too evil?

There's a reason "inflammatory" is used so often to describe her..

I would also add:

ignorant

vile

repugnant

vomit-inducing

factually incorrect

hate-filled

racist

tranny

Satan-spawn

Soul-less

God-complex

idiot

fool

Among other things....

Fired up? Ready to go!

Bring it... Party of war turned Party of No to Party of Hate.

Take a hard look Christians. Your moral majority ended today.

What happens to darkness when you turn on the lights?

And to think I used to listen to you guys. Your dinosaurs, your dangerous, and your wrong!

The resistance against 'W' will be a sweet dream.

We won't rest until every republican is voted out!

Country First hu?

The Uncivil War has begun...and we'll kill em' with kindness. ;o)

Yes We Can!

I'm wondering what "identifiable group" she's a member of.

Proabably the Klu Klux Klan.

PUHLEEZE...hate crime? Ask someone who has been a REAL victim of hate. Gays, minorities, women, who are beaten, degraded and even killed because they are who they are. Canada had every right to ask her to respect their culture. She is useless,

@Rodney-889389,

"A vampire complaining about the taste of blood." TOO FUNNY, I loved it!

@GoldenGateMami-Susi,

"Chupacabra Squad." Sounds like a team of action heroes, LOVED this, too!

Personally, I think you're being too hard on poor Ann---but then, for some weird reason I think she's hot (to the eyes at least). Just surgically implant the earplugs and a bale of cotton so I don't have to listen to her talk! That someone who has spewed the kind of crap she has for all these years to turn around and claim to be the victim of a hate crime is hilarious.

Dave Chappelle couldn't come up with anything funnier than this.

Ann Coulter...victim of a hate crime in Canada. Un&!@#$@%believable!

Nice to see the bitterness of the left come out...but the again Democrats are the reason the United States needed a civil rights bill

Way to go lefties showing all the compassion, just like the idiots you vote for, when they make hate crime bills here in the U.S.A.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvFsVgiy9EA

Another neo-con Republican fear-mongering pundit causing trouble with our strongest allies in the world, they just cannot stand any peace and continue to provoke everyone and anyone who may have a different value system than their own. They make me sick and are the biggest scourge and threat to any peace for any of us.

Way to go lefties showing all the compassion, just like the idiots you vote for, when they make hate crime bills here in the U.S.A.

hey, I'm a lefty I've posted multiple times on this thread that I don't think people should be blaming the victim, we should encourage Ann to sue if she genuinely believes she's been victimized, take it to the highest court in the land if necessary.

then when it turns out she's NOT the victim as proven in a court of law, there will be yet one more bit of positive proof that she's full of sh*t, but we support her right to stand up for herself and whatever group she thinks she's part of that was being intimidated by this email.

This is not a left or right issue. This is an issue of respecting and following the laws of another country. Were she in the US and this happened I would be the first to stand up for her and tell you all that is what makes america great is our ability to speak our minds with out persecution.

Coulter hasn't been persecuted. She has, in fact, made a killing off of pushing the boundaries of freedom of speech-- if she didn't make outrageous statements, no one would know who the hell she is, and she wouldn't sell any books. She sure as hell isn't going to make her way in the world as a great thinker.

And in this case, she voluntarily canceled the speech. It wasn't out of fear, it wasn't because she's persecuted, and it certainly wasn't because she's the victim of a "hate crime."

like all with a bully mentality, Ann insists she is the victim

Wow! where do you lefties come up with this...dont you remember when your lefty congress was trying to get a hate crime bill passed...It's just like every other bill you pass that is supposed to serve the people...you forget about it when it no longer serves your interest...try pay-go...lasted a week was it?...the Democrat party has a two year history of hating people ...and the leopard still hasnt changed it spots...this all you are and will ever be...you have expanded from African Americans to everyone who doesnt agree with you...say what ever you need to say to make yourself feel better about who you are...but it doesnt change who you really are...we may be the party of No! but you are the party of Hate....next time some claims a crime has been committed show some compassion...whoops ...cant ask that your a Democrat....you are the part of Hate

Hey, you're still blathering, aren't you? I'm pretty sure if no one has shut you up, then all your bull@!$%# about "lefties" and "liberals" and "hate speech" is still just bull@!$%#.

Go sell crazy somewhere else, billy. We've had our fill, here.

billy, please explain how Coulter being advised by citizens in another sovereign nation ( with its own laws ) that her usual style of commentary that's constitutionally protected in the US can get her in trouble by the laws of the nation she's visiting fits the definition of "hate crime". Seriously. I'm actually asking for you to present the logic in that.

You expect visitors from other countries to follow our laws when they're here or face penalties, how is it "hate" for a Canadian to help Coulter avoid trouble by informing her ( in a civil tone, no insults, slurs, or threats involved ) that she's expected to act within Canadian law while she's there?

billy, prove it-- evidence, please -- JUST THE FACTS, Dude...

Nice to see the bitterness of the left come out...but the again Democrats are the reason the United States needed a civil rights bill

Let's all read and consider this statement for a minute here.

Ok. Did you read it? Consider it? Wrap your head around it? Have you stopped shaking your head and laughing?

The bitterness of Lefties. That it's because of US we need CIVIL rights.

Ahem.

Gee, I rather enjoy being happy and hopeful and knowing my child will now be covered until she's 26. She may get easier access to more money for college she starts next Fall.

2 major stress areas. Alleviated. YES WE CAN.

My parents, who are both ill, have been lifted out of the damn doughnut hole and won't have to cut their pills in half to stretch them out. YES WE CAN.

My dad's Alzheimer's meds and my mom's diabetes meds won't be a "DO WE EAT OR TAKE OUR MEDS' situation anymore.

Oh and I AM SOOOOOOO GOD DAMMED BITTER about that! Can you tell how bitter I am?

So if this is bitterness. I'm rather enjoying being oh so BITTER.

Now. Here's a mirror. Take a lonnnnnnnnnnng, hard, look.

Do you see any Democrat throwing bricks? Shooting out windows? Threatening people and their families? Cutting propane lines? Calling the potential injury or worse of a congressman's brother "collateral damage?," spitting on and calling our political leaders @!$%#s, faggots and baby killers?

Sarah Palin callously using rifle cross hairs to signal the RELOADING against Democratic politicians.

Where are all the Left and Democrats doing all this?

And we're bitter?

No we are utterly DISGUSTED and ASHAMED that fellow Americans are this ugly, this hateful, this violent.

You are the UGLY American.

Hmm.

You see, where I come from, The United States of America, the behavior I just listed and is proven by audio and video, that shows the RIGHT fully engaged in that vile behavior egged on by it's leaders.

This comes from the morally and ethically bankrupt hearts and minds of the truly ignorant, hateful and bitter fringe that I thought only existed "Over there" in the mountains and caves and destroyed villages and towns of the Middle East.

Great comment GGM...

Thanks Rodney

:)

Yosho, as a Canadian I want to say you spoke for me on that.

Someone said way earlier that we should be respectful. To that I say NO. Respect is earned. She has done nothing to earn my respect and I will not show her any. in fact, IMO she has earned derision. All she does is spew hate, half truths, lies, and bigger lies. If a fact ever does come out of her mouth it is purely by accident, because she has no use for the truth in forming her opinion and spewing on the public discussions of the issues.

She gets no respect because she has not earned any.

Thanks PJ

Rodney

I would laugh at Coulter if she wasn't so pathetic. The utter crap that comes out of her mouth is pure poison and she actually gets paid for her nastiness. I would say this about ANYONE, left or right, who behaved this way in a public and PAID forum. Her cutting words, distortion of the truth and outright lies tell the story. Even O'Rielly and a few others have facts to back up their opinion. Even though I rarely agree, I respect their search for truth (their truth) and not just utter crap like Ms. Coulter tries to pass off as fact.

The Right would be screaming if a individual from the left behaved the way Coulter does. I am a Centrist who leans socially left and have found no one to compare to Coulter and her hate speech. She can dish it out, but cries when it comes back to bite her on the a$$...poor, poor Coulter; what does she expect with her vicious attacks, unfounded personal name calling and her arrogant, smug attitude all packaged in a 1990's black cocktail dress? She spews her hate rhetoric and laughs all the way to the bank.

As a Canadian ex-patriot, I have experienced the vast differences in how political debate and opposition is handled. She was invited as a guest yet refused to respect the Canadian culture. Another way she shows her classless disrespect for others. Coulter is a sad and ridiculous character with no merit or credibility. The joke is on her...she is the joke. If anyone takes her seriously, then they need to do some soul searching. Instigating through name calling, skewed facts and made up rhetoric cannot be taken seriously in the American political arena. Maybe if we all ignore her, she'll fade away. We can hope. She is nothing but a flash in the pan and should never be taken seriously.

I say, let the Canadians keep her...although I feel awful doing that to my Country of birth. They can always set her afloat on a boat and let the oceans take her where she belongs...away from actual human beings and spend her life with her 'people'; Great White Sharks!

Persecuted my A$$!!!!!

Gcm...too bad I cant take you back in Time to 1963 ....you obvioulsy dont remember ...9 of Sept...state police out in front of my school not letting African Americans in to the schools...yes your party is responsible...and what does any one do about thia.......even now still in denial mode...but I was there...The Democrats aqre the reason for the civil rights Bill...I would just like to see the left be civil on this take...that past is never the past...it is what colors your future

Bill, quit trying to pretend that Democrat/Republican has always been the same as liberal/conservative. In 1963, Democrats were the conservative party. We both know it. The problem is flaws in conservatism and liberalism, not party identifications.

As long as you fail to see that and keep living in the past, your comments will remain irrelevant.

Billy,

you are assuming that anyone that now calls themselves a Democrat today would call themselves a Southern Dixiecrat post WW2. That is a big assumption and is blatantly false and obfuscating.
