Ann Coulter, behind enemy lines

What would happen if Ann Coulter went to the University of Colorado in the People's Republic of Boulder?Forty square miles surrounded by reality. Well she WAS there last night, and so was the Daily Camera

Here's a taste.

Ann Coulter knew what she was getting into when she agreed to speak at arguably the most liberal hotbed in Colorado on Thursday night.

That's why she came.

"How many normal females are going to want to stand up and be called a Nazi and a racist?" said the conservative author and columnist. "As luck would have it, I happen to enjoy it. ... It perks me up to see liberals have nothing in the arsenal."

About 2,000 people filled the University of Colorado's Macky Auditorium on Thursday night to hear Coulter criticize Democrats in light of the war in Iraq. About half hissed and booed, and the other half laughed at her prickly humor and thanked her with a standing ovation.

Some, like Kevin Cooper of Louisville, said he wanted to hear another viewpoint, even if it contradicted his own.

"You can't make a viewpoint with one side. You have to understand the other side, too," he said.

Coulter said CU was typical of most colleges she speaks at, with a little extra heckling. But one thing surprised her, she said.

"I've never seen this on a college campus before: They were applauding Saddam Hussein," she said after her speech. "I was a little taken aback."

Having been born in Boulder, I CAN believe that they would applaud Saddam. And of course they called Coulter rascist, unlike Ted Kennedy.

Applauding Saddam? LOL. Nothing like a little moonbat merriment... what I want to know is how long they think Boulder would exist with Saddam running Colorado? I mean, do they realize how fast mustard gas works?
