USC Objectivist Club sponsors Ann Coulter "Islamofascist Awareness Week" speech

[shiva2999]

Of course I'm sure the only reason they're supporting it is because of their undying commitment to free speech...

Ann Coulter to Speak at USC for Islamo-Fascism Wingnut Awareness Week

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week Ann Coulter USCGearing up for another War on Christmas, combative conservative columnist David Horowitz and the College Republicans are calling out to their hate squad and killing Halloween (not to mention a week of breast cancer awareness month) with what they've dubbed "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week." Ann Coulter, recently listed as charging a $25,000 speaker fee by the Premiere Speakers Bureau (and now "call for fee") will speak in the name of Islamo-Fascism Awareness tomorrow night at USC.

Fascism (Webster: "a movement that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader...) seems an apropos label for aspects of BushCo and especially for the racist, sexist, fear-mongering idio(t)logues like Horowitz, Podhoretz, Malkin, Coulter, et al.

Free speech is just fine but baseless and inflammatory bigotry -- at a cost -- is unacceptable. And while Ann Coulter has the right to speak at USC just like anybody else, it's ridiculous and insulting -- not to mention embarrassing to America's image in the world -- to speak under the pretense of Islamo-fascism Awareness Week.

Nonetheless, the 220-seat Annenberg Auditorium sold out in a mere six hours for the event, sponsored by the USC College Republicans, the USC Objectivist Club, Young America's Foundation and the Horowitz Freedom Center. USC Department of Public Safety (no, they don't carry Tasers) will be on alert as classes will continue at the Annenberg School for Communication during the event -- in other words, tomorrow's journalists will be incubating in so-called "liberally-biased" classrooms while the devil herself holds court in the basement.

Yeah.

Where she said that someone needed to put poison in a Supreme Court justice's drink. Where she lamented that Tim McVeigh blew up the wrong target(should have been the N.Y. Times). And,BTW,voted in the wrong district in a local election.

If we normal people did or said anything approaching that,guess how fast your ass would be in jail?

And yet,somehow,she hasn't gotten in trouble.

Oooooh, we gots another Ann Coulter bashing thread.

At least she speaks her mind without tucking tail and running.

HAVE YOU HUGGED AN ISLAMO-FASCIST TODAY?
October 24, 2007

College liberals are in a fit of pique because various speakers are coming to their campuses this week as part of David Horowitz's Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week -- not to be confused with Islamo-Fascism Appreciation Week, which I believe is in April.

Apparently liberals support Islamo-fascism.

The Democratic leadership might want to have a powwow with their base because I believe their public position is to pretend to oppose Islamic fascism.

Elected Democrats at least make empty rhetorical gestures about opposing Islamic fascism. Of course, amidst their nonspecific condemnations of Islamic terrorism, they make very specific demands that we genuflect before Islam and perform exotic fetishes on the fascists.

Liberals believe in burning the American flag, urinating on crucifixes, and passing out birth control pills to 11-year-olds without telling their parents -- but God forbid an infidel touch a Quran at Guantanamo.

College campuses across the nation are installing foot baths to accommodate Muslims' daily bathing ritual, while surgically removing the Ten Commandments from every public space in America. Maybe the Ten Commandments could be printed on towels and kept next to the foot baths.

The National Council for Social Studies recommended a lesson plan after 9/11 that included a story titled "My Name Is Osama" about a nasty little white boy, "Todd," who taunts a fine upstanding Iraqi immigrant named "Osama." Go ahead, laugh it up -- we'll see who's laughing when "My Name Is Osama" ends up on ABC's prime-time lineup next year.

This story was proposed in response to an event in which Muslims with names like "Osama" committed the most massive hate crime in U.S. history against 3,000 innocent civilians with names like "Todd."

Still and all, Democrats who seek the votes of their fellow Americans continue to claim in a vague, meaningless way to oppose Islamo-fascism.

And then when speakers like Cyrus Nowrasteh, the writer and producer of the ABC miniseries "The Path to 9/11," and Nonie Darwish, whose father founded the Fedayeen, show up on college campuses to criticize Islamic terrorism, the Democratic base threatens to riot. The only thing that makes the cut-and-run crowd mad enough to fight is the idea that someone, somewhere might be criticizing radical Islam.

Consequently, the speakers for Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week require the sort of security phalanx one would expect for someone more like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Oh wait -- no. Ahmadinejad was cheered by college students a few weeks ago -- at least until he expressed reservations about sodomy. (On the basis of Ahmadinejad's claims, instead of looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, how about we start looking for gays in Iran?)

Even American intellectuals like Dennis Prager and Michael Medved who are speaking during Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week are denounced by liberals as if they were David Duke. One pro-Islamo-fascism Web site indicts Medved on the grounds that he "has claimed that Islam has a 'special violence problem.'" It doesn't get much more diplomatic than that.

Conservative speakers are constantly being physically attacked on college campuses -- including Bill Kristol, Pat Buchanan, David Horowitz and me, among others. Fortunately the attackers are Democrats, so they throw like girls and generally end up with their noses bloodied by pretty college coeds. But that doesn't make it right.

Michael Moore can waddle anywhere he wants in America without fear of violence from Republicans. But we still have to hear about every testy e-mail Paul Krugman ever receives as if liberals are living in the black night of fascism. Any time Krugman wants to get into a "Most Vicious Hate Mail" contest, just say the word. You don't hear me sniffling.

Annie, git your gun. Alot of those college edumacated liberals are right here on this board. They hate you and don't even have the sack to use your name. They rant that you are Hitler's secret spawn or the anti-Christ.

Talking about an undying commitment to free speech, why does the left try to shout down opposing views or ridicule them to try to render them meaningless?

[JLB]

who???? SAY IT SAY IT! :rofl:

Check out this link with an article that is supposedly written by a family member. It is quite interesting.

that's an attack ad and just plain childish.

she's a pain in the ass but that is overkill.

[kybillsfan]

Thats why I slipped in aleged. I was looking for a pic of her to see if she had an adams apple like Aqua claimed. The picture is a bit overkill, I just found the article interesting if it is true.

Tell me, how am I supposed to take Ann Coulter seriously?

[ckg68]

Glad to see people are supporting an event sponsored by a guy who could still be subjected to treason charges.

That,of course,would be David Horowitz.
