Ann Coulter is the devil in heels

So, after a few days of discussing the imminent lecture by the devil herself with people around campus, I've decided my best form of protest would be not going. Tomorrow, I plan on telling every Democrat I know to get the maximum number of free tickets [10] and then ripping them up and throwing them away. The emptier the auditorium is the sooner she can get her ass back on a plane and away from here.

The school newspaper of course has been publishing letters to the editor for the past two days, and I'm sure after her lecture tomorrow night, the paper will be overun with letters and editorials. Here is one that I particularly enjoyed from my college recorder. A little background on him will make this letter even better. It's been years since he cut his hair, his cubicle is plastered with political statements, and he only wears shoes when it's absolutely necessary, ie) when the snow is deep and the temperature dips into the teens. Oh, and everywhere he goes he carries a big stick.

Taken from the DO online:

On Wednesday Ann Coulter will visit campus, at the invitation of the College Republicans. Among her other qualities, Coulter is one of the more outspoken racists currently in print.

Coulter tells us that all Muslims may not be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim. She suggests that "conventions of civilized behavior, personal hygiene and grooming" may be inapplicable to Muslims. Indeed, in the same column she manages to include each of the following: "jihad monkey," "camel jockey" and "tent merchants."

It is, of course, hardly news that Ann Coulter is a racist. One is led to wonder about those who invited her to our campus. We know that Coulter's message is one of racism. Should we infer that the College Republicans endorse her views?
