Ann Coulter Works The Room At Yale... And A Look Back At Her Other Controversial Speeches

Conservative pundit (and Cornell grad) Ann Coulter visited Yale University Tuesday and didn't mince words in bashing the president.

According to the Yale Daily News, Coulter provided her bountiful young audience with plenty of quips related to Obama and the Occupy Wall Street protests:

"Liberals love mobs because they see them as their path to power," she said, explaining her belief that the Occupy Wall Street protests were only the latest incarnation of a liberal political machine designed to inflame an ill-informed populace.

Mobs, however, were not Coulter's only target. Other critiques, each delivered with a joke on the side, targeted the Obama's economic, foreign and health care policies. One of Coulter's more pointed remarks targeted his attempts to raise taxes as the opposite of President Ronald Reagan's approach.

"It's like [Obama] took everything Reagan did right and did exactly the opposite," she said.

Oof.

Coulter is no stranger to controversy on campus (who could forget the time she was warned to watch her mouth by Canada!). See some of her more talked-about college visits below.

Long before she began her lecture -- entitled “Ann Coulter and the 2008 Election: Why Liberals are Wrong about Everything” –- TCNJ students were distributing armbands and pamphlets in an attempt to combat Coulter’s presence on campus. One of Coulter’s more provocative moments came when she referred to white liberals as “a bunch of (p---ies) and declared that they’d prolonged slavery in America. TCNJ students, once referred to as some of the nation’s most apathetic by “The Princeton Review,” got riled up. Thirty minutes into her talk, about 40 students stood up, many wearing white armbands with Coulter’s name on them and an X drawn through it. They walked out roaring, “Gay, straight, black, white! Same struggle, same fight!” Despite the on-campus anger, Coulter still made $24,000 for her 40-minute long speech.

Where were condoms when we needed them.

This has got to be one of the most disgusting creatures on the planet!

I think you could get a Vinyl Vivian and stretch it at the neck for a few weeks.

Why in the world do universities pay this woman to talk? Couldn't they find speakers who can provide more valuable and intellectually-stimulating rhetoric?

[joanrimart]

I agree... universities however harbor these selected groups of ultra-right rich kids who have all the money in the world and are pampered because their fathers contribute to the U's coffers. What this is after all is another demonstration of the power of the 1% Of course, Ms Coulter would not agree.

The idiot in the room. Yale is a good place for her to teach. Soon, it will be survival of the smartest. And, her students will be the first to being destitute.

I would love to see her work a room in Jail. God I love that long neck!

Coulter may be on to something with her idea of mobs created for political power from an uninformed populace. Problem is, last I checked the biggest mob around was (and is) Tea Party activists.

When I read that she was "working a room", I thought it was at the local Howard Johnson's

Whenever I see her and hear her speak, my right arm involuntarily salutes smartly at a 45-degree angle.

She's a bigger instigator than the Wall Street mob. She says these things to draw attention to herself.

Having Ann Coulter speak on campus is worse than having Snooki give a commencement address

Higher learnn' is free exchange of all ideas. Right? Everyones. So we can learn from their different views. Have to have those minds open , if not they are stupid minds, one sided and warped and not much use for anything but politics.

[Bunny Olesen]

03:35 AM on 10/14/2011

Thank you Mz Edmondson, because that is what it is all about. It seems lately that there are plenty of people who believe that if they don't like it, no one should be able to hear it, and that is a frightening thing !!!

[Linda Edmondson]

Dear Bunny Olesen
I was'nt furtune enough to enjoy " higher learning", how ever I have seen a little of the world. That open mind I mentioned, that is a blessing I've always had and thankful for.
People all over the world have closed minds,and its mostly due ignorance. In a house of learning limited voices is a frightening thing. Keep your voice.
