Ann Coulter

I find many of Ann Coulter's writings offensive.  Despite my Conservative leanings I don't like many of the things that she says.  She is a little too "way out there."  I find Michael Moore offensive for similar reasons.  I think that they are flip sides of the same coin in that most Conservatives and Liberals will agree that both of these individuals are offensive and play fast and loose with the truth too often.

That being said, the cancellation of Ann Coulter's speech at the U of Ottawa has inspired editorials denouncing the intimidation tactics used against her.  She has received more publicity than her hostile rantings deserve.  The milquetoast Globe and Mail wrote a strongly worded opinion piece in support of her right to speak.

Usually i cringe at her writings.  Have a look at her latest post titled "O'Canada":

I cringed at this one because i agreed with so much of what she said (for a change).

She gained more notoriety and a greater platform for her views.  That is the ultimate result of the University of Ottawa's attempts to silence her.  They should be ashamed of themselves.
