Ann Coulter prepares human-rights complaint

[Newsjock]

Source: The Globe and Mail

Right-wing firebrand Ann Coulter, who cancelled her speech to the University of Ottawa Tuesday night over fears for her safety, says she’s the victim of a hate crime under Canadian laws.

She said she’s hired Canadian conservative activist Ezra Levant to prepare a human-rights complaint that will test how equitably these hate-crime laws are applied.

... “I would like to know if any Muslim has been treated this badly, at least since the Reformation, because I am drawing a blank,” Ms. Coulter told The Globe.

She also took a swipe at Canadians, saying this country has lost its edge.

“You guys used to be so cool. You were smokers. You had epic hockey fights. We had half our comedians from Canada. Now you’re all a bunch of girls named Francois.”

[maddezmom]

1. not sure what to do

:cry: or :rofl: She is :crazy:

[swimboy]

67. Assholes not a protected class?

Go, Canada!

[hlthe2b]

2. Her cynicism knows no bounds...

[louis-t]

3. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER??

Yes, by all means, let's treat her EXACTLY like Muslims were treated at Abu Ghraib.

[SpiralHawk]

94. She's a whiney Waterlooser (R)

Typical AWOL republicon -- a quitter, and a whiner.

[TheDebbieDee]

4. It's just a publicity stunt, a cry for attention that she does not deserve!

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. Quite possibly the reason she was invited to Canada in the first place

some RW lawyer wanted publicity for a case, so they found an objectionable publicity-hound who they could publicise, then withdraw, and get to whine "I'm a victim!".

[LynneSin]

5. Doesn't she have to be classified as human first before her rights can be violiated...

not sure what the laws are for screeching harpies

[nyc 4 Biden]

8. you beat me to it. ur fast!

[meeshrox]

11. +1

[benld74]

17. +2

[movonne]

38. That is exactly what I thought reading the headline...

[Love Bug]

98. Easy. All she has to do is incorporate then she'll be defined as a "person"

according to SCOTUS.

[meegbear]

6. Tort Reform! Tort Reform!

No Activist Judges!

[rfranklin]

23. Tart reform?

Personally, I don't think there is any way to reform her.

[leftynyc]

7. She's jealous of Sarah

and all the other crazy conservative women who are getting all the attention. She needs to step it up because she doesn't yet realize how irrelevant and impotent she is.

[classysassy]

108. Sister Sarah

and the jackasses,or the females donkeys.

[kestrel91316]

9. Well THAT'S sure to win her some friends north of the border.......

[Mad_Dem_X]

95. She's as classless as she is clueless.

[daleo]

10. Smoking and fighting are positive things

But girls and people with French names are negative things.

That's what I get from her latest inanity.

[Spazito]

12. LOL! To quote Annie's hero, Bring it ON!

She still will be yesterday's news even to her former teabagger, free republic fans. They have moved on to a new "Hawwwwwtee", the brainless Palin. Poor Annie!

:rofl:

[Cleita]

13. I don't think there are any laws covering

skanks are there?

[Flipper999]

14. *Sigh* Nothing to see here

Just a washed up conservative noise maker trying to get attention again by saying stupid shit.

[Missy Vixen]

15. How exactly is she a "victim of a hate crime"?

She was notified by the school in question that Canadian law is different than US law, she was told that her previous speech was illegal by Canada's standards, but she insists it was a "hate crime"? Maybe the cigarettes and Chardonnay diet has eaten away her brain stem.

Is SHE not the person who cancelled her event due to peaceful protesters?

Nice swipe at the Canadians in her quote. Perhaps it would be best to not piss off the French. I think we should send Celine Dion in there to deal with her.

:woohoo:

[Posteritatis]

35. She declared herself an ethnic group and is claiming to be unfairly oppressed or something. (nt)

[Missy Vixen]

41. Oh, this will be fun

The Canadians aren't going to give her the same latitude she gets in the USA.

She's also not going to get the press she's hoping for with this stunt.

Hey, Ann, you're washed up. You may have to find a job. LMAO.

:rofl:

[TheLiberalNovelist]

100. Oh, she'll get the press...

"Press" meaning FOX.

[madmom]

45. I was wondering the same thing, didn't SHE cancel the gig?

[Heywood J]

56. Pretty much.

The hate crimes law doesn't cover political positions, otherwise she'd never have been allowed to give her speeches in the first place. It covers race, ethnicity, religion, orientation, disability, etc. "Conservative" is not a protected class.

[daleo]

77. It's like being warned not to drink and drive

Then saying you are a victim of a hate crime. She makes no sense.

[Electric Monk]

101. Nice analogy.

Her 15 minutes should be over soon.

[kestrel91316]

88. I betcha Celine could whup Annie's skank ass.

[Missy Vixen]

91. That's right

She wouldn't even break a sweat.

Any woman self-assured enough to wear that Chanel backwards monstrosity from a few years ago -- she went to the SKITTLES School of Ass-Kicking, and Ann is nothing but a warmup.

Don't mess with Celine. She's not my favorite performer, but I think she does the most beautiful version of "Ave Maria" I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

[Liberalynn]

107. I am pretty sure Celine could take her!

:toast: :rofl:

20. I'm pretty sure that was a slur - I read it as she was calling the men girls.

EOM

[OnlinePoker]

24. That's what she was referencing

She made a snide remark calling Canadian men girls. The Francois in question was the provost of U of O.

[RedRoses323]

32. +1

:headbang:

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. LOL!!!!!

Once again viewers are recommending or unrecommending based on the palatable taste in their mouth as they read the story.
NOT based on how important the story is to share with others. That is the basic fault of the recommend feature. (After I recommend there is a net 0)

Anyways...
Its so hillarious to read how poo widdle Annie's feelings are hurt when the unstaged public tells her what they think of her. After she's so used to having her uninterupted stage to spew all her hate, she accuses the public of a hate crime, via Francois Houle, who only explained Canada's hate crime laws to her in advance.

[salguine]

28. Ann Coulter IS a human rights complaint.

[salguine]

29. If she wants to know "if any Muslim has been treated this badly", she should be

shown the tape of herself treating a Muslim this badly.

[Guilded Lilly]

31. Can the Canadians file a Human Wretch complaint?

Ann hasn't been getting enough attention lately and she has pulled her milking stool out of storage.

[UpInArms]

33. where can I file a "Waste of Space" complaint? .... eom

[mitchum]

34. "Look at me! Look at meeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

[Swagman]

37. she's correct ! Our human rights have been trashed by her presence

[yellowcanine]

39. "Now you’re all a bunch of girls named Francois." So classy Annie.

... “I would like to know if any Muslim has been treated this badly, at least since the Reformation, because I am drawing a blank,” Ms. Coulter told The Globe.

Huh? Does this make any sense to anyone? I am assuming she is talking about the Spanish Inquisition, which overlapped with the Reformation but isn't generally treated synonymously. So was she waterboarded or was it just the rack with a side order of thumbscrews? Because the threat of a few protesters, however loud and raucous, and talk of an investigation for hate speech under Canadian law do not constitute bad treatment comparable to the Spanish Inquisition OR a hate crime.

[AB_Positive]

40. We Canadians can still fight, Ann

Male or female. Lace up some skates honey, we can show you what Canada's really about. :D

[LeftHander]

42. She is pissed because her dead bats were served cold....

effing cow.

[aquart]

43. Not enough attention for her in America lately?

[SemperEadem]

55. She insulted Jews on Donnie Deutsche's show

She made some ugly comment about Jews while being interviewed and Deutsche was incredulous. Ever since that day, she has receded from the cameras and spot lights. She is basically shifting for her fare anywhere she can get attention.

[NJmaverick]

44. I would challenge her complaint on the grounds that she hasn't proven she is human

[Ian David]

46. In order to have standing, she must first prove herself Human. n/t

[mbperrin]

65. My first thought.

Yeah, still think that.....

[emilyg]

47. I wondder why they

invited her in the first place?

[daleo]

78. A right wing group invited her, as far as I know

Another right wing (U.S.) group put up all or part of the money.

[whatsthebuzz]

48. New TV show

Coulter needs to team up with Orly Taitz. That'd get ratings.

[Chulanowa]

53. I don't think that would work

The censors would never let a show that centers around autocannibalism get off the ground

[Chipper Chat]

64. Or maybe Sarah Palin.

They could call themselves "The Hunter and the C*****."

[Orsino]

49. Ann Coulter prepares not-getting-enough-attention complaint. n/t

[bamacrat]

50. She is a walking talking human-rights violation.

[NinetySix]

51. Poor Ann Coulter, physically intimidated like that. It's outrageous, really.

"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too."

I guess it sucks to go from saying things like this about your political opponents when your side is in power, to finding yourself out of power again and suffering from the paranoid belief that now it's what your political opponents are thinking when they see you.

My heart fucking bleeeeds.

[SemperEadem]

52. she's only doing this because she was told to watch her mouth

and she's mad.

Better Francois than (M)ann, pouffiasse.

[Kali]

54. she's not human, I suggest she contact pETA or some fungus rights org.

[Oldtimeralso]

58. Can She Be Barred On The Grounds That She Is An Oxygen Waster? n/t

[Roland99]

57. Yeah, I bet Amnesty International is banging on her door right now with a swarm of lawyers

:eyes:

[Bluenorthwest]

59. she is out of her mind. Letters informing a performer of

the local law are very commonplace. It is almost always done when there is a reputation that suggests such a letter might be in order.

There is a song by Kevin Bloody Wilson of Australia inspired by this sort of letter. It is called "You Can't Say C*** in Canada" and for that matter, not on DU either, but such is the song, and such is the law.

[veracity]

60. Ann Coulter, wingnut - Queen of Clubs

http://tvnewslies.org/html/the_loaded_deck_6.html

Says it all.

[Union Yes]

61. To be fair. Even walking skeletal undead are deserving of human rights too!

:rofl:

Fuck that zombie and everything she stands for.

[theorbiter]

62. She said....

"because I am drawing a blank,” Ms. Coulter told The Globe.

Well what's new?

On another note; Being a drag queen may give her some standing on this hate crime issue. Just saying.

[Hulk]

63. Kick and scream.....bitch!

WHO cancelled? Sounds like it was "chicken-shit she-man"? Did someone assault her? God, I'm sick of this sad bitch crying and whining when reality hits her smack in the male's adam's apple.

Screw you, hag!

[abbeyco]

66. What a vile, nasty puke she is.

She embodies the true meaning of The Ugly American. And doesn't her whole complaint thing go against what "real" repukes believe in, I mean, isn't this tantamount to a lawsuit? Oh the horrors...

[mainer]

68. How were her rights violated? I'm puzzled,

She was simply warned not to engage in speech that would be illegal under Canadian law. (e.g.: inciting the crowd to assassinate someone. The usual illegal stuff.)

And in a huff, she cancelled her speech.

Is this a human rights violation?

[Mari333]

69. ATTENTION WHORE ALERT

[Pab Sungenis]

70. Isn't she one of the people saying that foreigners have no rights in the US?

The irony of her pursuing a complaint that her Canadian rights were violated is so delicious.

[myrna minx]

71. Someone is seeking some attention.

Poor thing. :cry:

[IndianaGreen]

72. Coulter is as adept at hate speechmaking as Julius Streicher was

Coulter is just another nazi!

[ClusterFreak]

73. This woman has a black, black heart.

Hate fuels her every thought, her every action.

She is to be pitied in many ways, but mostly she ought to be ignored.

[bitchkitty]

74. Orly Taitz' long lost daughter is on the warpath!!! n/t

[okieinpain]

75. this is off topic, but rush and hannity are reporting that dems

did not cover children pre-existing rule. has anyone heard about this, I can not find any op's around here.

[demigoddess]

76. a legend in her own mind. I have a question. Why are right wingers so conceited?

why are they all self-centered egotists??

[LiberalLovinLug]

92. Because they are all Authoritarians

Either they have to worship an Authority figure (Who will conserve Authoritarianism) and they must develop a giant ego to protect themselves from any truths that conflict with their fragile belief system and the Authorities they worship.

Or, whats even funner, the only other choice is to BE an Authority figure, whether they know squat about what they claim to or not. And that takes an even bigger ego.

[randr]

79. It will be interesting to see how she establishes her humanity

[Faygo Kid]

80. "Ann Coulter" and "human rights" in the same sentence. Never thought I would see the day.

Actually, "Ann Coulter" and "human" in the same sentence is enough of a stretch.

[muntrv]

81. Annie, douchebags are not a protected class.

[sam kane]

82. Trannys do get "treated badly." nt.

[enki23]

83. "muslim" is the comparison she fucking chose?

.

[onager]

84. Girls named Francois? "Eh, Mlle. Coulter, pardonnez-moi mais...

Avez-vous un porc-epic coince entre les fesses?"

Since I think it's pretentious to post untranslated foreign phrases, even when they are probably ungrammatical and Ninth Grade 'Murican French:

"Miss Coulter, excuse me, but do you have a porcupine stuck up your ass?"

[zogofzorkon]

85. Talk about black humor

She is effing hilarious, really tears are streaming down my face...... I mean it is humor isn't it, no one not named Sarah is that damn stupid to say what she says except as a sick joke. Please say its a joke.

[SpartanDem]

86. I want to see a birth certificate first

[Hekate]

103. Well played! bwahahahaha

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

87. Ezra Levant

[musical_soul]

89. I guess she thinks....

that it's a human right to demonize others.

[Zambero]

90. Doesn't one have to be HUMAN to file a human rights complaint?

It seems as if the reptilian Ms. Coulter doesn't quite meet the criteria.

[BlueStater]

93. What a wuss. n/t

[hayu_lol]

96. Hey guys, Annie is outside the country...

maybe we could cancel her passport and make her 'persona-non-grata at all US immigration points she might try to use. Then the Canadians could ship her someplace else.

Problem solved.

[TankLV]

97. "Now you’re all a bunch of girls named Francois.”

Yeah - THAT'S the way to "prove" that you're a victum of "hate speech"!!!

Just fucking spew garbage at everyone else - ESPECIALLY THE ONES YOU'RE SEEKING HELP FROM!!!

"HELP ME YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE PERVERTS LOWLIFES - I'M BEING ATTACKED UNFAIRLY!!!"

[murphyj87]

99. Ann Coulter

[gtar100]

102. Wow, she sure knows how to be a jerk. I'm sure insulting *all* Canadians

is going to help her case out quite a bit.

But it does reveal some of the ideals of her right-wing, conservative bias. She liked them better when they smoked and got into fist fights. The Canadians have moved on and now she's trying to denigrate them by calling them names.

Given that it's Ann Coulter, they can dismiss all that bullshit right out of hand.

[Hekate]

104. It amazes me that RWers think she's svelte and attractive. She's becoming a hag...

... and it won't be too many more years before everyone who isn't blind will see that she's a skeletal hag.

Inside and out.

Hekate

[Darth_Kitten]

105. Girls named Francoise.

God, is she stupid or what?

[and-justice-for-all]

106. Fuck you coulter!

Canada NOT listening to her bullshit rhetoric makes them cool.

[activa8tr]

109. She has to file in Canada, and I hope she has to pay massive

Court filing fees.

And I hope she is fined heavily for filing a "frivolous law suit" later.

[Zorra]

110. “You guys used to be so cool. You were smokers..."

The cheese has done slid off her pizza.

[booley]

111. She probably figures she will win either way

IF they accept her complaint, then she can say "See? Cons are being persecuted by evil Liberals. This group of evil Liberals said so!"

And if her complaint gets tossed out, she can say "See? Cons are being persecuted by Evil Liberals. This group of Evil Liberals ignored my rights!"

And lets be honest, it' s not as if her supporters are going to find out nor care about what really happened or if what she says makes any sense.
