It's being reported by local tv news Ann Cloulter speaking at Uconn in Storrs Ct tonight was being harassed by students and lost her cool and stopped her speech 16 minutes in, quote" to engage people more stupid than herself" it was breaking news at 10. Nothing posted at local tv web sites yet. Check WTIC-TV and WFSB-TV WVIT-TV and WTNH-TV I'am sure there will be something soon there....

Did you see the footage? I did. She was attacked on stage by, students rushing across the stage throwing things at her. Would you call that a smart thing for the students to do??

Nope,<br />She wasn't dressed as a bum, so it is not OK to throw things at her.<br /><br />BTW,<br />Who is Ann Cloulter? serious question here. I have never heard of her.<br /><br />AK Chappy

Oh yes, the lefts idea of freedom of speech. Chappy, just google the name you should get hundreds of thousands of hits. Most of them hate filled and venomous but she is a lightening rod.

Doesn't matter. There are two sides to the behavior question. Side 1: those that exhibit "civilized behavior". 2. Those that do not.<br /><br /><br />It seems that one political party has a lock on #2.

Ok,<br />I see what you mean. It really doesn't matter if you are right or left. If you are at the Extreme edge of it, you need to reexamine your priorities. <br />Politics has to be like a good marriage. Some give and some take, meet in the middle.<br /><br />AK Chappy

It's not worth it. Those that know-know. The rest will just nip at the heels.

What is it AK? Meet in the middle just so you could say you met in the middle? That is absurd. In most issues there is a right way and a not right way. You gonna go to the middle in hopes it gets you into Heaven?<br /><br />As much as I disdain the left, if they really believe their position then I give them credit for sticking to it. (which they often attempt to disguise)<br /><br />It makes no difference that I believe that the left power brokers do not believe what they espouse, only that they have chosen their position because it sounds so kind and fair, kind of a vehicle to power. I do believe that as misguided as much of the rank and file democrats are, at least they believe their position.<br /><br />So in view of that you're gonna chose the middle road just to get run over??

Boom,<br />The written word here on an internet forum does not pass the meanings very well. In a real time conversation, it something is not explained very well, you can immediately restate it.<br /><br />Ok,<br />with that in mind. When I said "some give, some take, meet in the middle." I am not talking about EVERY issue has to be a compromised solution i.e. some left, some right. What I mean is that I personally believe in some things that the left believes in and some things that the right believes in.<br />I do not declare my affiliation with either Party. I will vote for the person who will do the right thing. <br />As much as Californians dislike Arnold, I would vote for him in a national election. I think he is a no bull kind of person. You know exactly where he is coming from. <br /><br />I usually avoid political discussions on this forum for the most part. There are a lot of Extremists on this board. Most of them are on the "right", not necessarily "in" the right. There are a couple that I feel are way to the "left"<br />I am neither, in my opinion. Other's opinions of me may be different. They are entitled to that.<br /><br />Peace out.<br /><br />AK Chappy

Ann Coulter was a guest a UConn doing a speech. 100 Students very rudely heckled her during the first 16 minutes of the speech. She was invited to UConn and the inconsiderate, snotnosed little punks who were on fighting for something they aren't even sure about decided to disrupt her speech. IMO, it doesn't matter if Coulter was a liberal or conservative its just RUDE and it speaks to the mentality of todays college students. Believe me... I'm in the trench on this one and I think Pony can attest to it... the average college student just doesn't give a poop.<br /><br />Sean

The personal attacks, be they from the left or the right, are disgusting.<br /><br />And no, they are not all from the left. There is no reason not to have a civil discourse.

My personal feeling about her aside, she didn't need to be treated that way. If a person does not agree with her, then leave or don't listen. Not that hard to figure out...

The media is going nuts here over it. What's happened here with gop in the last several years with the Ex-govenor John Rowland{R} sitting in federal prison and the Gop ex-mayors of Waterbury and Bridgeport in federal prison in the last 2 years, the people here have a bad taste in our mouths...When I saw it last night it had just happened and there was no video at the time and sorry for mispelling her name....

It's sad how those who are most vocal about free speech are the one's shouting down other opposition messages. The Nazi's can march in Skokie but Ann Coulter can't speak at UCONN. The university should be very proud. Interesting how Ann kept her composure, while the future of Conn. acted like idiots.

I agree with most. Rude is rude, regardless of politics. If she didn't fit their plan, nothing would be more demoralizing than giving a speech and no one shows up.
