nah... She's begging for attention and you are here to help her get it.

I'm not even happy it got cancelled. I understand though due to those ****ing anarchists over there constantly using violence as what they think is their "speech".

Ann Coulter cancels Berkeley event amid protests, says decision 'a dark day for free speech in America' | Fox News





She's right. It is a dark day for free speech.

I mean, she's going to sell this. It's not really a "dark day for free speech" since the government hasn't made any law against it. However, there needs to be some clean up on campuses and those engaged in violent protest need to be arrested, charged, and jailed since we cannot permit individuals to use violence as a way to curtail speakers they do not like.

She didnt say its a dark day for the 1st amendment, but it definitely is for the principle of free speech.

I'm helping her get attention? Seems to me that the only reason she's getting attention at all is because of the threats of violence. If she just went there, spoke, and went home afterwords I doubt that it would even get mentioned outside of her own blog.

It was a hotbed already after the whole Milo bit... Which is why she is the moth attracted to that flame. She wants that attention. It sells books.

Anarchists. But don't let the truth stand in your way of partisan hackery.

Hey now... just because progressive politics typically degrades to anarchism, doesn't mean they are anarchists....

Joking aside... A lot of them actually are progressives, the professors being caught had progressive ideology. You may not approve of them and do not want to be associated with them... but I don't see them shouting and mobbing against any left wing progressives, that's for sure...

It was certainly about safety. Clearly. And anyone being honest would admit that.

Now that being said, Berkley, and the whole lot of us, need to get a handle on this crap. These black-bloc or Antifa or whatever the fudge they are jackholes cannot be allowed to successfully use violence to shut down the free exchange of ideas or the preaching of counter-ideology. Any of these people using violence, engaging in vandalism in order to prevent speakers from speaking need to be arrested, they need to be charged, they need to be thrown in jail. They are messing with some of the most fundamental rights we have in America, speech and protest.

But Berkley has a duty to their student population, and after seeing what happened the last time, there was legitimate safety concerns.

They are anarchists. They brag about it and are proud of it. They go to protests garbed in ski masks and carrying crow bars. I know you'd like to assign them as average liberals and progressives to get your hack on but, you'd be wrong. They are assholes off on their own and the liberals hate them because they ruin their message when they drop in and start destroying things. And then they have to deal with people like you who eat up the chance to conflate the two.
 
It definitely doesn't help the activist's credibility for this to be the outcome.

The move would have been to let her talk and ignore it.

Could you even fill a school bus with Coulter fans at Berkeley?
 
Very disappointing. Should have just let the jerk speak and get it over with. The threat of violent protest only makes her look good. Too bad it is happening at Berkeley, the birthplace of the free speech movement. It is sad that they seem to have forgotten the legacy of Mario Savio. Very disappointing.

She wants the controversy to help her sell books. And because of the Milo incident there recently she knew she'd get it.
 
llol so first they threaten to sue the college and then they cancel themselves for the same reason the college did

Just don't show up. Let her speak to an empty room and let that embarrass her.

Makes zero sense why they wouldn't be targeting left wing speakers and policies... and why leftist professors would be joining their ranks. Anti-Fa is anti facism...not pro anarchism...I'm sure some random stupid individuals within their crowd are anarchists too...but that is not the message they are spreading... it is anti free speech, anti right wing... and you see fleets of LGBTQ in their ranks.
