Coulter: "Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment."
via bradblog...

Coulter courts Gainesville

By JESSICA RIFFEL
Alligator Writer

Ann Coulter, an outspoken Republican pundit and author, energized and entertained more than 800 UF students and Alachua County residents Thursday night at the third annual Ronald Reagan Black Tie and Blue Jeans BBQ.

<snip>

She also criticized the media for being liberal and Democrats for whining about their rights under the First Amendment.

"They're always accusing us of repressing their speech," she said. "I say let's do it. Let's repress them."

She later added, "Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment."

If you don't like it, leave I'm sure there are other oppressive regimes around the world you'd love Ann.

I expect she'll be less enthused about government repressing free speech.

13. This act ELAPSED 3 years ago.
The moldy gender-ambiguous mouthpiece has been void of new ways to stun her lobotomized audience and it's resembling drunk Uncle Festus; you know, that guy at the reunions who tells the same alcohol-addled jokes every year to a chorus of groans.

Someone drop-kick Andrew Coltface in the cheek. PLEASE. On AIR. My GOD, Fiona Apple's "this world is bullshit" speech was less cringe-worthy than this continued tripe.

24. Ann Coulter is mentally ill
Who else would be willing to do what she does unless they were mentally ill? Tom Delay is also mentally ill. Ledeen, the Machiavelli and Fascist fan, is also mentally ill.

The kindest thing we could do for all those who were rounded up and hired to be the brownshirts of this administration, is to put them all into treatment for a very long time.

As for those who applauded, well the German people applauded Hitler's ranting and raving. But they are in the minority, and more so every day.

She is bought and paid for by Richard Melon Schaiff, another mentally ill individual who needs to be brought out into the open and his sick plotting against this country and its Constitution for way too long, exposed to the sunlight. Why have these people been tolerated? I don't get it!!

Edited on Sat Oct-22-05 01:45 PM by jwirr
believe in it so I assume she is missing the point. Her right to say the things she does comes from this amendment she does not believe in. She is either ignorant or she thinks that right is only for people like her. I suggested she use the gag she wanted to put on others.

If she despises rights and the Constitution that much she has no credibility to discuss issues that affect America as her views are un-American. She has no standing to comment and should be viewed as a treasonous traitor. She has done much to foment division in our country and I don't know why she still gets airtime.

67. Does not suprise me.
She's not a big fan of truth. She's not a big fan of people with any decency. She's not a big fan of freedom, unless it's for robber barons to go out raping. She's not a big fan of intellectual discourse. She's not a big fan of humane working conditions. She's not a big fan of the slightest sliver of morality, unless it pertains to a Democrat's sex life. She is not a big fan of anything that made American more than slave farm, so it's no suprise that the First Amendment would be on of those things.
