WELL-BAKED PROTESTS
Ann Coulter will speak at the Missouri Theatre on April 11 in an event sponsored by the MU College Republicans. If you reserve front-row seats, beware of projectile pastries. Zachary Wolff and Phillip Edgar Smith pied Coulter during a 2004 speech. The two called themselves “Al Pieda,” a threat to freedom-loving waistlines.
YOU DAMN, DIRTY LIBERALS!
Coulter cannot tolerate liberals, and she often writes about her disdain for them. In her book Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America, she lambasts them for exuding “mob psychology” whenever they express opinions. She has written seven other books, all of which have been on New York Times best-sellers list.
DEFENDING OFFENDING
Coulter got her law degree at the University of Michigan. After graduating Coulter worked at a private practice and worked with the United States Judicicary Committee. Regardless of her political views and overall sass, she’ll relentlessly defend her First Amendment right to offend.
MOVIE STAR
In 2004, Coulter appeared in three different movies. Feeding the Beast was a made-for-television documentary on the “24-Hour News Revolution.” The other two films were FahrenHYPE 9/11, a documentary intended to rebut Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911, and Is It True What They Say About Ann?
YOU'RE FIRED ... AGAIN
Ann was fired twice from MSNBC, the first time in February 1997 for insulting Pamela Harriman, the U.S. Ambassador to France while the network was covering Harriman’s memorial service. The network quickly re-hired her but fired her again in October after she insulted a disabled U.S. war veteran.
