What I have a big problem with here in the US, is a mega-billionaire owning so much of cable news and other right-wing wealthy people controlling other media and using it as a propaganda pulpit for their views. And now in the US, the Supreme Court has given the wealthy corporations free rein with political contributions. This is not equal representation, nor is it free speech! Groups, individuals with opposing opinions that are not rich cannot reach the masses.


Coulter is an opportunistic, spoiled, rich, privileged white girl! Reminds me of Phyllis Schaffer (circa 1960's). To me, she is the rich, snotty, thin, blonde white girl with the BMW her father gave her for HS graduation riding off to an Ivy League university believing that is how everyone lives!!! And that this is her God given right. THAT is the basis of her internal logic! Just exercising my right to free speech... I’m glad the protestors shut her up!!!

While I was eating lunch in a little diner I could see on their TV that Fox "News" was running this story pretty-much non-stop. I couldn't hear what was being said, but it's interesting they'd pick up on such a small incident in - Canada - of all places! The one thing I did hear was that Coulter was blaming the University Provost for inciting the students, as he had sent Coulter an email warning her that criminal prosecution is possible if she were to flaunt the anti-hate laws here. Ummmmm - I do believe it was Coulter herself who leaked that message to the media.......the self-serving, dull-witted........ Grrrrrrrrr!!!
