A monster is coming to my university!

[T-Dawg]

Ann Coulter will be speaking at my university in the near future. Apparently "various private donors" contributed ten thousand dollars for this to happen.


Anyways, the article in the newspaper I found this in claims that a question and answer session will come after her presentation.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should say to her (assuming they don't actively censor prospecting questioners), or perhaps signs I should hold up or something?

Sure. Ask her whether she thinks demonizing her as a monster accurately reflects the intellectual standards of your university.

My impression of Coulter is that she's made quite a fortune shoveling BS to those who want to eat it, and that she is very happy in that role. That is, her notions do not contain enough truth or fact for her to be considered a serious thinker. So, I don't think there's anything you could say to her, T-Dawg, that would be meaningful to her, other than "Here's some more money".

Hmm, that would be an issue :/. But my message would be more intended for the audience than her; quite honestly, I think it's genuinely possible that she doesn't believe a word she says and only does it for the money (I can't help but notice that from what I've read about her, her personal lifestyle doesn't exactly reflect conservative values).

Should I go for something that attacks her beliefs, her credibility, or simply go with something funny?

Perhaps you should go for something witty.

Seems some of this may come in handy:

It's so interesting how our beliefs about the world can be so different from our experiences.

Oh, and one of my friends suggested doing something like this every time she said something stupid:

Good idea?

I have 2 ideas:
1) Launch into an offensive screed which will be grist for her mill.
2) Ask her a question to which you'd really like to know the answer.

Or open your cloak and say "tug on this."

Ann Coulter is so misunderstood.

Good point. This is the first time I've heard of her in at least a year.
