No… Wire… Hangers

Perhaps this has gotten wide distribution, but I hadn’t seen it before. It’s a personal account of an Ann Coulter appearance at Loyola University in Chicago. It’s amazing. Here’s just a little snippet:

I went to my seat and prepared myself mentally to take in Ms. Coulter objectively. The Loyola Anti-War Network protested her appearance by forming a chain in the back of the auditorium and facing the other way. As soon as Ms. Coulter came out she said, “Since you are feminists, standing makes your butts look really big.” I was a little upset by this comment, but I held my cool. I was stupid and had the college republicans seat me up close so I could get good pictures. Needless to say I was sitting next to some Coulter-lovers who were practically foaming at the mouth in ecstacy with all of Coulter’s comments. All of the protestors were taken out by security. This elevated the level of joy in the Coulter-supporters sitting around me.

Coulter of course went on her usual bloviating saying that Democrats have bumper stickers that say, “I heart partial birth abortion.”

[…]

he protesting from the balcony only increased with time with shouts of “ANN IS A RACIST” to even an immature, yet mildly amusing, call for “Show us your tits.”

Ann addressed her supporters in the crowd with this statement. “You’re men. You’re heterosexuals. Take ’em out.” She chided them further when they did not rise. Before you knew it there was about 25 students marching to the balcony to supposedly “take out” the protestors above. I saw a priest holding students back and deans and security warning the students to go back to their seats. Chaos erupted. Ann left after taking one question. The question was, “How can you justify the marginalization of women when you yourself are a woman?”.

To which Ann replied, “I don’t.”

Does anyone get the feeling that Coulter is on the verge of doing a Joan Crawford turn? Keep her away from the pruning shears.
