    mediamatters is an incredibly biased source. Their mission is to smear anyone who's not a progressive.

    DailyKOS is notoriously a left wing blog, yet they seem to be honest about this.

    I honestly cannot find a single source where she's said "all terrorists are muslim." I see lots of people saying she said it, though. Did she really say it?

    Ahhh.. found a quote, still attributed to her but not that I can prove she ever said it:

    "All Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims, the ones we need to worry about anyways".

    Interesting what a little extra context adds.

    Wow, the hypocrisy in this thread is amazing.

    I get it now, when a liberal like Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann uses sarcasm it's cool and witty, but when a conservative like Ann Coulter does shes racist and it's hate speech. Makes alot of sense.

    And I'm in total agreement with Denny. You cannot silence the opposition just because you don't agree with what they have to say. It's called the Constitution, douchebag liberals everywhere need to start paying attention to it.

    The law in canada isn't the US Constitution.

    When I see things like this, I'm happy to not be a Canadian.

    That's actually pretty funny.

    When you mention the constitution, are you talking about the Canadian constitution? And if so, why should liberals everywhere need to pay attention to it?

    Why would the french part want to join the US?

    Historically, groups of people or nations that split off from the empire don't fare too well.

    And since we're becoming like France, they'd feel right at home.

    we have: universal health care, better beer, we're peacemakers and have thinner women but if u like healthcare rationed by price, inferior beer, losing your friends and family to unnecessary wars and chubby women than america is your country.

    two things have been lost in this discussion: first, no govt official clampdown on ms coulter and prevented her from speaking, no, an university vice president challenged coulter to respect our laws (i.e. charter of rights and freedoms) and respect the student body who were clearly perturbed by her presence on the campus as demonstrated by the 2000 student protesters. also, lest we forget that ms. coulter told a 17 year girl to ride on a carpet, thats despicable and anyone who rallies behind this despicable human being is just as despicable.

    Are you sure she told a 17 year old girl to ride on a carpet?

    Or could it be that someone edited a video tape and made it look that way.

    every single news agency and a pro coulter crowd in attendance have not challenged the validity of the tape. she's clearly pandering to her xenophobic followers and inflaming any attempt at a responsible debate in the process.

    i personally feel muslim extremism is out of control and believe we need to take prudent steps to curtail it particularly in collapsed states like yemen, sudan and somalia where there reach is undeterred but i also understand to win this war on extremism- u need to co-opt the moderates, not shame them into extremist retreat.

    Every single news agency is using the same video, which was absolutely edited. There were 7 minutes of stuff between the question and what she later said to a heckler in the crowd.

    are u kidding me? lets assume your theory is right and the video is edited- why wouldnt any of the pro coulter audience members in the audience, the overwhelming majority or coulter herself come out and challenge the validity of the tape? love coulter or not, something we can all agree on is that coulter never shies away from a camera.

    and the heckler asked a question during a Q&A session with ms. coulter. and this cantankerous heckler of yours is a 17 year teenager who attended the university of western ontario.

    u do understand that saying "take a camel" in that crowd and in our current world climate is tantamount to yelling "fire" in a crowded room. i dont care what context that comment came out in- it was bigoted, insensitive and stupid. if u continue to justify coulter's hateful speech- u are no better.

    You're reaching.

    The CNN and unedited videos don't lie.
