Radical right wingers, or perhaps whingers is more appropriate, always cry that their right to free speech is being impinged when they are shouted down. However, I say shout down, shut up, and drive out people who actively seek to promote hatred and divide us against each other. We have seen the results when we allow such people to speak freely.
Ann Coulter’s speech at the University of Ottawa was cancelled last after protesters shouted her down. Here are comments from a redditor who was there. And now she’s going to file a human rights complaint.
For those who don’t know, Ann Coulter is not a decent person. She’s part-shock jock and part-racist, frequently attempting to divide the United States into hard right and left, and then to set the two against each other. She has stated that Canadians should consider themselves lucky not to have been invaded for refusing to support the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
I say good riddance to a dangerous fool.

You are right on! The responsible thing to do is to muzzle Ms Coulter. She has been slinging mud in the U.S. for years. I apologize for the rif-raf that sometimes tends to slither across our borders.
Nice blog. I bookmarked it!
