Last night student protesters surrounded Marion Hall at the University of Ottawa, preventing Ann Coulter from giving a scheduled speech. After conferring with campus security Coulter's bodyguard decided it would not be safe for Coulter to enter the hall.
U of O political science student Faris Lehn, 23, said he doesn’t support Coulter’s message, but had hoped for a debate.
“It’s too bad she didn’t get to speak because I think she would have made herself look more ridiculous than anyone here could have made her look,” Lehn said.
“The problem with Ann Coulter . . . is that the arguments that she uses don’t necessarily promote good debate, they promote this,” he said, glancing at the chanting crowd.
Well said. The problem with Ann Coulter is other people.
