Ann Coulter (Is she hateful?)

All I did was read an article from Slate Magazine. All I did was summarize my understanding of it.

copy and paste random editorial columns from any non conservative paper in this country. It will be an easy job for me to show you the hateful rhetoric.

I met a whole lot of them when they politely turned out the night she helped bring Howard Dean to campus; the next year, she got to moderate a question-and-answer session — to ensure fairness — when the College Republicans hosted Karl Rove. It felt to me like a lost era of civility and reason as I watched young people from the two parties get along up in the Bronx.But now the Fordham College Republicans have invited Ann Coulter, who outdoes Karl Rove (barely, these days) in the department of divisiveness and meanness. I had a moment of regretting the mega-dollars I spent on Fordham — even though I know the clubs are free to invite whomever they like, within reason (although this tests reason). Then I saw Fordham President Father Joseph McShane’s terrific reply, which I’m printing in full.Given the dramatic rightward shift of the Republican Party, I happen to believe that the path back to civility involves civil people not merely smiling and being civil but forcefully calling extremist Republicans out on their cruelty and extremism. Father McShane shows the way. He blasts Coulter’s message as hateful and needlessly provocative more heat than light and says her message is aimed squarely at the darker side of our nature.McShane notes that Fordham has been blighted by ugly racial and homophobic incidents in the last few years, and he laments the lack of maturity shown by his young campus Republicans in inviting the provocateur Coulter. But he says he trusts the Fordham community to model the power of decency and reason to overcome hatred and prejudice. Let’s hope that happens. Personally, I hope Coulter reads McShane’s statement, withdraws from the engagement and spends some time reflecting on why she’s filled with so much hate. But I’m a dreamer.Update: Tonight, the Fordham College Republicans have cancelled Coulter’s appearance.

Correction on my last reply to Theodoric: The article was from Salon.com.

theodoric writes:So that would be a no. No is much easier to type so you should have just gone with that.

The Nation Magazine writes:It’s worth remembering, before Mitt Romney settles into a comfortable 1 percent retirement from politics, that his victory would have imperiled the security of all but those insulated by extreme wealth from concerns like being able to find safe, warm housing in the wake of a hurricane.

I was right Theodoric.

It is extremely hard reading socialist pablum like the writer of this hateful article.

Here is the article in question. I was right Theodoric.

It isn't any wonder then when colleges like Fordham University ban Coulter from speaking at their campuses.

Jesuits are very liberal people.

Anything that is right of pure marxism is conservative in your eyes it appears.

All I did was summarize my understanding of it.
