Ann Coulter is speaking at my college tonight. Need ideas for questions

[Ignacio Upton]

I never thought that I would have the pleasure of meeting her, and frankly I'm still trying to figure out why the hell I got a ticket for an event titled "An Evening with Ann Coulter" which is being sponsered by the College Republicans :puke:. I've always wondered what it would be like to speak face to face with a prominent cog in the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" and question the person about their wingnuttery.
I'm wondering if I could get some ideas from DUers here on what I should ask her. Have any of you attended her speeches before and asked her a question? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can knock her off balance debate-wise? What really, REALLY annoys and frustrates her? The problem with Coulter is that I can't stand her, but I can't think of any one issue or event that I can question her on, without thinking "hey there are other questions I can ask." So far I'm thinking of asking her why she supports a President and GOP that passed record cuts in student loans. I'm also thinking of asking her about Abramoff's Vanity Fair interview that exposes the GOP for lying about their connections with him. Any other suggestions?

[LisaM]

1. Ask her why SD Republicans support rapists' rights

over those of young women.

[Jack from Charlotte]

45. Ask her why she has an Adam's Apple. *

[barbaraann]

2. Does she personally practice abstinence?

:evilgrin:

[MadMaddie]

3. Why does she hate America?

5. "Why don't you go f*ck yourself?"

A rhetorical question....

[harpo]

6. ask her where she got her journalism degree...and where she worked

before fox gave her something to do...and why she just blatantly lies without facts and makes shit up...that kind of thing ;)

[skylarmae]

36. she openly jokes that 'it sells more books'

and that it's her life's blood.

[fleabert]

7. whatever it is, keep it short, she won't let you get five words out if

they start the way those do. You gotta hook her and make everyone think you are with them, but concerned. you will get booed before the words leave your mouth otherwise. I seriously doubt you will get a response beyond blathering, slobbering anger, and venom. Better wear a great t-shirt under a button down, and when you get kicked out, show it off.

[Jara sang]

8. Ask her what kind of pie she likes.

[Chiyo-chichi]

9. My question: "Why are you going?"

Nothing will knock her off balance. She will just say something outrageous in response to any decent question. If you do annoy or frustrate her, she will have you thrown out.

Ya can't win.

Here's what happened at Indiana University recently:

[Hobarticus]

10. Yes...stay home

Why go, and just be another person through the door that can be counted and used to claim that her lectures pack halls?

You know what she's going to say.

Why not do something good for your soul, instead of putting yourself through this? Is listening to hate really worth the time out of your life?

:shrug:

[Kerrytravelers]

Ask her exactly how many Arab leaders she wants to kill and

how she proposes to convert the people of said countries to Christianity. I'm really curious if she has a winning strategy and an exit plan for that particular invasion. Does she plan to use the military, or would it be handled by the religious right of the rethuglian party? If she advocates using the military, will the soldiers who aren't Christan be converted first, or would it be simpler just to kill them?

Just wondering.

13. How long should it take to catch the person behind the worst terrorist

attack in US history.

I did love the quote by Abramoff when he was asked about his non-ties to DeLay. he said that he had more pics with DeLay than with his own wife. Pretty funny stuff.

[reichstag911]

19. That was Newt, not DeLay. nt

[Rocknrule]

14. Why do you get away with making death threats?

Is it true that you want to do to liberals what Hitler did to Jews?
How big is your dick? :evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

15. Here's one:

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 baked 9-inch pie pastry shell
4 to 5 ripe but firm bananas
sweetened whipped cream
PREPARATION:

Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in top of double boiler. Gradually add milk, mixing well. Cook over rapidly boiling water until thickened, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring for 10 minutes longer.

Stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks then return back to the hot mixture in the pan. Cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla to the filling then let cool thoroughly. Cover the bottom of the prepared cooled pie shell with a small amount of cooled filling. Peel bananas and slice into the pie shell. Cover with remaining filling. Garnish top with sliced bananas, arranged overlapped in a circle about an inch in from the edge. Top with a mound of sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping in center of pie.

Throw at Ann Coulter when she starts emitting pig noises.

[valerief]

16. How many cigarettes a day does she smoke?

Does she have sex? If yes, with a man or woman? How often?

Is she bulemic?

Does she take any anti-depressants or other mood-altering drugs?

Has she ever been pregnant?

Does she still get her period?

I mean, if South Dakota can take away a woman's right to her own body, then these questions are surely fair game for a public figure. No invasion of privacy here.

[NanceGreggs]

17. Ask her about her 'bulk' book sales ...

... it makes her head EXPLODE!!!!

Whenever she's had a so-called 'Top Ten' book on the charts, there is a 'bulk sale' icon next to the numbers. I know, through a friend in the publishing industry, that Republican groups purchase her books by the caseload, in order to push her stuff to the top of the sales charts.

And where do those hundreds of thousands of books wind up? I live in Toronto, and when 'Scandal' was allegedly in the Top Ten, there were cartons of them all over the city in 'discount stores', selling for a couple of bucks each.

SHE always insists that the 'bulk sales' icon is placed next to EVERY book by a conservative/Repub author by the 'liberal press' who publish the 'Top Sellers' charts!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

18. My suggestion is stay home

and order pizza.

[Ganja Ninja]

20. Does (s)he use birth control and has (s)he ever had an abortion?

[bunkerbuster1]

63. What type of birth control--IUD? the Pill?

isn't she committing murder/embryocide?

[johnnie]

21. Ask her....

"When we go to war with Iran, do you think the Canadians will help us out by sending troops like they did during Vietnam?"

Lol

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Boxers or briefs?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

24. "Were all of your mother's children

worthless, hate-filled shells of decomposing tripe, or was is just you?"

[MuseRider]

Ask her what she thinks

about being called a "6 foot bag of snot" by Malloy.

Sorry, I don't have a serious question. I am still chuckling about that comment.

[lpbk2713]

25. How much do you earn on speaking engagements per annum?

That's the main motivation behind his/her/its outrageous behavior and irresponsible comments. Being controversial keeps him/her/it in demand.

[PBass]

34. Ask her

who she considers a counterpoint (for herself). Who is the "Ann Coulter of the Left"?

If she considers herself a humorist. How much humor is in her writing (percentage wise) and is the Left just not getting her jokes.

[SheilaT]

26. I'm with the "Why are you going"

person.

Just by showing up you lend validity to her presence. And, unfortunately, almost nothing you could say or ask will be effective. If you're rude or obscene it really does make you look bad. If you give her a question she can come back at (the link showed some good stuff) you simply make her look good.

However, the question about cutting funding for student loans has potential. The vast majority of students are making it through school on loans, and if you can have a fast preface about the typical debt of the average graduate of your school, and how much that will go up for this year's freshmen as compared to this year's seniors, you may well hit a responsive chord with the other students there. keep in mind, she'll probably come back with some bullshit answer which will imply that if you have to borrow to attend school you didn't choose your parents correctly (didn't get born to rich ones), but again, what you really want is to shake up her supporters, not her.

If there's anything you can ask of her that will reveal her utter indifference to the realities of the students' lives, it might be worth it. But thinking you can show her up or humiliate her in any way is futile. She's been doing this for some time now, and she really don't give a rat's ass about what those who don't like her think of her.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. Stump here

Anne what is yoru view of John Locke's Treatise on Government?
If a follow up is possible, "tell us Anne how does this relate to Jefefson's papers on Virginia and why do you hate so much this classical liberalism?

OTOH you might just ask her why she hates America?

[Dora]

29. What kind of pie do you like? n/t

[populistdriven]

41. That was attempted already and she ducked in time

there is a video on the internets

[Dora]

67. Yes. I was engaging in humor. Thank you for the reminder. n/t

[TlalocW]

30. Does she plan to turn herself in

For breaking Florida voting laws, and is she as stupid as the people she made fun of in 2000 for having difficulty figuring out how to vote on the butterfly ballot?

[berni_mccoy]

31. When is her arraignment for commiting election fraud in Florida?

[edbermac]

84. Ditto...hammer her on that!

33. Have you ever told the FBI the truth about your drug use

She claimed on TV that "everybody" going into the Justice Dept. lied about drugs. She was a longtime pothead, at minimum, and thought it was a big joke to lie on national security clearance forms.

37. Remember "Ann Coulter" is an Act.

And she wins when people get mad at her and answer her gibberish w/ logic
and try to pin her down. She is laughing all the way to the bank.

Skip it ... and spend time w/ friends ..... she is not worth the effort.

Her act is an old one too .... Joe McCarthy, Dr. Laura, Rush, anyone of a
number of pastors of the Lord, Joseph Goebbels, Klan leaders, and so on.

If you must go and spit in the devil's eye ask her about plagiarism

http://www.coulterwatch.com/files/BW2-009-Plagiarism_Trap.pdf


Just remember that no matter what zingers you might get in .... she leaves the
campus w/ more money then she came w/. So I would suggest .... meet some friends,
have a nice meal (Spag & Garlic Bread), and drink some wine.

Fuck her/him.

[Ignacio Upton]

57. The tickets were given out free

at least to students anyway.

[Botany]

62. Yes but she does get a speaking fee.

Again .... there is nothing you can say or do in 30 seconds to 2 minutes that will
change her or her "Act."

Meet some friends .... and have a little party ..... she is not worth the effort.
Facts are meaningless to her ..... as a matter of fact the more outrageous her
statements the more money she makes.

Although if you could convince the audience to all stand up and turn their backs
on her that would be kinda cute ..... now that would get her goat.

[northzax]

77. or, if you are going to go

go for entertainment. When she says something absurd, laugh out loud. It's art, and she is actually pretty good at it, as is PigBoy. Enjoy the show, and never, ever, take it personally, that's what she wants. The best thing to do, if you ask a question, is play into it. Find some obscure point of constitutional law and ask about it. Ask her opinion on Brunner V. New York, which allows for the discharge of student loans in bankruptcy if there is 'undue hardship.' Ask if she agrees with the definition of undue hardship. Could be fun.

[Ignacio Upton]

90. Do you have any details of this case?

I'm not familiar with it. Also, my school is increasing tuition for next year, so I'll probably mention that in addition to student loans being cut.

[northzax]

93. google it.

you can find all sorts of good info...

[C_U_L8R]

38. Q: How do you shave

around that Adam's apple
without cutting yourself?

[populistdriven]

39. Ask her why Repukes are the only ones that drive up the Debt

www.zfacts.com

[LuckyLib]

105. And then ask her why that is so, given that Repubs are always

preaching about "getting gubment out of our lives."

[slide to the left]

40. Why

do you wear such short skirts when you are over 30? When was the last time you ate? Who is your dealer? Do you have sex out side of marriage? If so, if you got pg would you have the child?

[RagingInMiami]

42. Forget the questions

Throw eggs at her

[Ignacio Upton]

64. That'll help me a lot

:eyes:

[maveric]

43. Ask her if her prostate is giving her problems due to her advanced age?

Also ask how she ingests her Meth. Snort? Smoke? IV?

46. Ask her any factual question that college students care about

She seems to routinely screw up on factual questions. Pick something that college students would know the answer to, something they care about, and something she would trip up on. Better to make her look like the stupid idiot she is than to antagonize her.

And be real sweet....

[4dsc]

47. Ask her if she likes cream pies!! Please...

I would set up a cream pie stand outside!! FREE CREAM PIES!!

[Dr Fate]

48. I suggest LOUD, inappropriate laughter after EVERYTHING she says.

Followed by comments like "Oh- my ribs- I cant take it- this is SOOOOO funny."

I would also yell out "It's a MAN BABY!!!" and "NICE ADAMS APPLE, toots!"

Dont legitimize her by asking any serious questions. She should be an object of RIDICULE.

My suggestion is loud, inappropriate "pirate style" laughter before, during & after everything she says.

[populistdriven]

49. Goad her into saying something outrageous, accuse her of being too Liberal

[Beelzebud]

50. Ever read Stephen King's Carrie?

Get a bucket of pigs blood, and leave the auditorium before she freaks out and kills everyone with the vitroil coming out of her rotten mind. :D

[LuCifer]

51. Ask her if she has a penis

If only, right!

No, seriously, ask her why she isn't in PRISON for her TERRORIST THREATS against the NY Times and others left of her Nazi ass. :puke: INDEED!

[Tom Rinaldo]

52. Has America outgrown it's need for pesky Democratic institutions yet?

Can't we formally move to a more stream lined government where a President gets ratified every four years and in between he makes all the decisions?

[nickinSTL]

53. and, predictably...

there come the posts that denigrate transwomen by calling Coulter one.

She isn't trans - she's just a lying, spiteful, hate-filled waste of oxygen.

And the attitude of some DUers towards transsexuals make me wonder if they're any better. :puke:

[julialnyc]

56. ask her if she knew Dubya back in CT

and how she can be ant-choice, but pro-death penalty..... and anti-stem cell research


You could also ask her if being a rich girl from New Canaan CT helps her relate with this President (a rich prick from nearby Greenwich CT) and how did they manage to merge with their red state base and their very different lifestyles.

[Ignacio Upton]

58. Ok, I've come up with four possible questions

1. "Why do you support a President and Congress that voted to cut a record $12 billion in student loans at time when the average debt of college students has gone up by 50% in the last decade?" This one will alienate some of her College Republican admirers over time, even if they shrug it off at first glance. The SF Chronicle has a good article on this:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/03/06/MNGICHJ8391.DTL&feed=rss.news

2. "Why are your books sold in bulk and why do Republicans buys them in bulk to help out your sales?"

3. "Why do you get away with making death threats against Muslims and the NY Times. If I advocated killing all Muslims and coverting them to Christianity I would be facing Judicial Affairs for racism."

4. "Explain why you forgot to vote in your own precinct in Florida."

[Johonny]

59. Why not just not go

If everyone that didn't want to hear her crap skipped the event them palces would stop paying her. I mean why give her free packed houses. Let the morans that want to hear this stuff suffer. There has to be a better way to spend an evening than giving her the satisfaction you even bothered to show. She is nobody who's opinion matters not at all. Do not feed her.

[ContraBass Black]

60. Ask about her voting troubles.

:D

[DinahMoeHum]

61. "Why do you like to dress like a . . .

harlot?"

[zbdent]

65. Are they just handing out the tickets for free?

If so, that would explain a recent "encounter" where the auditorium had plenty of seats left . . .

[geniph]

66. "When did you stop taking the Haldol?"

"and don't you think that was a bad choice on your part?"

[Blue Belle]

68. Does Ann Coulter ever simply speak??

The only thing I've ever witnessed her do is spew hatred, or screech "TRAITOR!!". She's always on the attack, and rarely has her facts correct (although they may be considered "Right").

Ask her what day it was that Canada sent troops to Vietnam to fight along side their US Allies?
Ask her what day it was that the US declaired war on Germany in WWII?

Those are two questions off the top of my head that I know for a fact she doesn't have an answer for.

Then ask her if she think she got her money's worth out of her YALE education. :eyes:

[BiggJawn]

69. Ask her if she screwed Dave Brunner when she was at Purdue...

..Because he says he won her in a contest the College ReTHUGlicans had...

(Brunner is the Ditto-Bot editor of the campus rag, which has a decided RW flavour)

[Initech]

70. "Ann, have you ever thought for yourself?"

Or do you simply regurgitate everything the GOP, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity tell you?

[DemGirl7]

71. Ask her what should happen to those who violate the Patriot Act,

especially those who threaten to kill public officials and than ask her when does she want to start serving that punishment since since she did threaten two public officials, both a former President(Clinton) and a Supreme Court Justice (Stevens).

[Uncle Joe]

if she will reimburse you the cost of the cootie shots, you will require for being within a 100 foot radius of her.

75. You MUST ask this one!

Ms. Coulter, do you still believe that Pat Tillman was a great patriotic hero?

From the Nation:
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20051024/zirin

"I don't believe it," seethed Ann Coulter.

Her contempt was directed at a September 25 San Francisco Chronicle story reporting that former NFL star and Army Ranger war hero Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan last year, believed the US war on Iraq was "f***ing illegal" and counted Noam Chomsky among his favorite authors. It must have been quite a moment for Coulter, who upon Tillman's death described him in her inimitably creepy fashion as "an American original--virtuous, pure and masculine like only an American male can be." She tried to discredit the story as San Francisco agitprop, but this approach ran into a slight problem: The article's source was Pat Tillman's mother, Mary.

[librechik]

76. boxers or briefs?

78. sorry dupe nt

[KansDem]

79. I have an idea...

She came and spoke at the University of Kansas:

Coulter received several standing ovations during her speech, but she also found herself interrupted several times by a small, scattered group of hecklers.

"I think there are some people in the audience who meant to be at the sexual reorientation class down the hall," Coulter said, in response to the heckling.

Moments later Coulter stopped and called for assistance from students when hecklers started in again and no one of authority was seen trying to stop them.

"Could 10 of the largest College Republicans start walking up and down the aisles and start removing anyone shouting?" Coulter asked. "Otherwise, this lecture is over."

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2005/mar/30/ann_coulter_causes/

I thought if I had gone, I might have stood up and shouted for everybody to quiet down to let her speak, followed by (with a extremely loud voice) a short discourse on why free speech is important, followed by an "apology" to Ms. Coulter, followed by another warning to quiet down, followed by a quick exchange with one of the disruptors, followed by... Well, you get the picture.

By taking the floor with what appears to be a genuine concern for Ms. Coulter being allowed to speak, you are actually eating up time and adding to the pandemonium.

The goons wouldn't know whether or not to remove you since you appear to be pro-Coulter. And if the goons approach you, you could simply say, "Oh, sorry. I was just trying to help Ms. Coulter." Then you sit down for a few moments then jump up and do it all over again.

[emdee]

[BigMcLargehuge]

81. "Do you like eggs Ann?"

Ann - "Eggs? Sure... I guess... why?"

Salvo of one dozen eggs pummels her on stage.

That's the question I'd ask

[Cobalt Violet]

82. Does she prefer Strawberry Rhubarb or Boston Creme?

That's the 1st question that comes to mind.

[kiki]

85. "Hi Anne..."

"...now that Pat Tillman's back in the news, does it occur to you that every time you insult liberals, you are insulting a fallen American war hero?"

Then wait for her to repeat her stunningly insightful and carefully considered reaction to the 'Tillman is liberal' story - "I don't believe it" - and say:

"And does it occur to you that every time you claim not to believe the story, you are calling Pat Tillman's mother - the mother of a fallen American war hero - a liar?"


Then ask her, if she really claims to be a Christian, where she thinks she's going when she dies.

[Ksec]

86. Ask her "Boxers or briefs?"

87. Ask her if she's really as stupid as her books make her seem

she doesnt believe he was against the War in Iraq. When she says that ask her if she is calling his mom a liar

[dogday]

92. That's a good one

Also about Cindy Sheehan, ask her how she feels about her... Or Scooter Libby's indictment or Delay's indictment or Abramhoff's indictment or calls by 5 Vermont cities to impeach shrub....

[Ignacio Upton]

95. If I mention Abramoff, she'll probably use the "Democrats took money too"

bullshit, and I doubt that I would be able to refute it while she is saying it, since in these type of formats, you ask the question and the person just answers right back and you don't really have a way of refuting it other than shouting over them. I wish that I could debate her instead of just asking her a provocative question.

[dogday]

102. Democrats took money from the Indian Reservations

but it was not directed by Abramhoff. Ask her to show you one piece of reference where it was authorized by Abramhoff......

[phoebe]

91. Ask her if she would mind if you asked the audience a question..

then ask the audience - how many of you truly, deep down in your hearts, believe in what Ann Coulter stands for and how many of you would be willing to sit down together with people from the "other" party and work out differences until "we the people" get our needs met without interference from those who work so hard to make sure that we "hate" each other so that we never get the chance to make this country a better place to live?

"When you are ranting like a maniac on TV, what the hell are you looking at? The cue cards? Your therapist? Your coke dealer?"

"So when are you and Laura Ingraham getting hitched?"

"How much weed does Bill Maher smoke before he bangs you?"

"Michelle Malkin.......come on, she doesn't look like a REAL American to you, does she?"

"Deep down, you KNOW you are superior to Debbie Schlussel......her MASTER....right fraulien?"

"What was it like working with Felicity Huffman preparing for her role as you?"

"Pat Tillman.....in hindsight, sad or glad he bought it in the war?"

"I heard you were puking in the bathroom before the speech, are you okay?"

"Falafals and loofa. Turn you on?"
