Ohio's Counter Coulter
Counter Coulter
Ann Coulter is famous for her attacks on Muslims, the environment, women’s rights, and LGBT Americans. Recently she used the word “faggot” in a backhanded insult of presidential candidate John Edwards. And she’s coming to Xavier University in Cincinnati on September 6.
She has every right to speak her mind (and she's paid well to do it, her $20,000+ speaking fee equals about $5 for every Xavier student). But we speak our minds, too; for values like compassion, equality, and diversity. The same values Xavier students work to uphold with groups like Xavier's Gay-Straight Alliance, Amnesty International, Habitat for Humanity, and Earthcare.
Ann Coulter on The Environment
"God
gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the
trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"
Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01
Ann Coulter on Freedom of Speech
"They're
[Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's
do it. Let's repress them. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First
Amendment."
University of Florida speech; October 20, 2005
Ann Coulter on GLBT
"I don't know if [former U.S. President Bill Clinton is] gay. But [former U.S. Vice President] Al Gore - total fag."
Media Matters; July 26, 2006

Ann Coulter on Women
"I
think [women] should be armed but should not vote...women have no
capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on
how to spend it...it's always more money on education, more money on
child care, more money on day care."
Comedy Central; Politically Incorrect; February 26, 2001
"It
would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a
fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except
Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had
voted."

think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don't need

good start."
