No Ilsa, Some Peace … Perhaps she’ll hold a protest in front of Chez Panisse...
Just another opportunistic book promotion for Coultergeist that demonstrates how mercenary our Ann has become, but one wonders who comes up with the $20,000.
The so-called Antifa and Trumpist thugs might still be able to “rumble” like Jets and Sharks, but UC Berkeley will have nothing to do with it, given the recent events such as Saturday’s struggle session in downtown Berkeley where at least 20 were arrested.
In that incident, Dick Spencerites got punched while their fearless leader was on an Alabama trip advocating that the Auburn Tigers adopt leather helmets and recruit Jim Crow.
In an earlier Milo Yiannopolos demonstration on campus, the evening’s street festivities featured campfires commemorating “Daddy” Trump and a variety of John Wayne Gacy clown skits.
from statement by the YAF
UC-Berkeley, a publicly-funded university, first imposed a series of ridiculous requirements on the speech allegedly in the name of "safety."
Coulter, we were informed,
- would be required to deliver her speech in the afternoon;
- only students would be allowed to attend;
- and the speech location would not be announced until close to the event.
Against our advice, Coulter agreed to all these requirements. In return, she requested two measures, which actually had something to do with
safety:
- 1) That the University of California chancellor request that the Oakland chief of police refrain from telling his men to stand down and ignore law-breaking by rioters attempting to shut down conservative speakers, as he has done in the past; and
- 2) That UC-Berkeley announce in advance that any students engaging in violence, mayhem or heckling to prevent an invited speaker from speaking would be expelled.
As Coulter explained, "If Berkeley wants to have free speech, it can have it."
The university's response was to ban her speech.
