Geez--really--who gives a crap about this woman? She just shoots off her mouth and contributes nothing to society. Stop making such a big deal out of it--in the big picture, she's insignificant.
Liberal here. And I disagree with everything you just said. She should have a right to free speech. And the crap that she or someone like Milo says isn't even that bad. It's not like they're going around calling black people the N word and doing hitler salutes.

If you don't give a crap about her, why even bother posting about it?

I'm a solid liberal, and I disagree with her on almost everything.

But that makes me want to hear her opinions and explanations even more. Maybe there's a logical reason for some of her beliefs that I didn't realize or take into account from my point of view. I've read a few of her books, and though she's clearly not a charm school graduate, she does get ya thinkin, and won me over on a few issues.

Why do people want to impose censorship on themselves?

Everyone should have the right to decide for themselves,not how the left operates though,they use terrorist tactics to shut down anyone they disagree with. The time to get violently rough with these scum is WAY past due.

There is a huge story here. In my lifetime we have shifted from police protecting Nazis who marched through a heavily Jewish community to refusing to protect speakers on our colleges

It was a publicity stunt. She got exactly what she wanted. She could have chosen literally any other venue but she chose the one that would **** the most people off.

Just like I wouldn't go in a public square in a small town in Middle America to spout about gay rights. If they pelt me with cow manure it's my fault for that choice equally as it is theirs. A warm reception is not a Constitutionally-protected right in this country.

Can we please have more liberals like this?

You don't have to agree with "the other side", you don't have to like what someone is saying, but you understand that everyone has the right to express it?

This is what we need, not those who think antifa stunts are "good", or that blocking someone from speaking is "good". That's not liberalism, that's fascism.

A lot of people do. She built herself a profitable niche. Have to give her credit for that. Now she will get a ton of television invites that pay much better.

I think you are going a bit overboard. The college has it's own security at that.

I wholly support free speech. That said, I don't listen to those who spout hate and negativity. There is no merit to it. If you found her arguments persuasive, so be it. I occasionally listen to those I disagree with, e.g., Limbaugh, Hannity, Trump, just to be aware of what propaganda they are pushing. I can listen for so long and then, enough is enough. Life is too short. But someone like Coulter who is IMO a hater, is not how I want to spend a morning. If others do, have at it.

The liberal facist cretins have once again stifled free speech. Welcome to the new America where common decency has been left on the dust.
