The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Oh, Canada?

Ottawa cancels Ann Coulter.

Right-wing antagonist Ann Coulter cancelled a University of Ottawa address last night after organizers decided it wasn’t safe to speak.
The move followed boisterous demonstrations outside that sponsors of the appearance feared could turn violent.

Mark Steyn will no doubt have something blistering on this one, but Canada, you really have wet yourself. Your osteoporosis has reached a point where a woman with long hair and pointed remarks cannot offer them without you fearing for ‘safety’. For crying out loud in the dark, I hope all honest Canucks, who can remember a time before the last hair was shaved off their public bottom in the name of some bogus ’empathy’ god, just come South of the border right now.

The fact that you are upright, law abiding, reasonable citizens means that it will take a while to navigate the USCIS process, I know. But come South anyway, and let’s team up, to try to make at least one country on the continent that doesn’t draw vacuum.

UPDATE 7:12 a.m. ET (RSM): Doggone it, Smitty. If you think you’re going to hog all the Canada-bashing fun here, you’ve got another think coming! Via Kathy Shaidle, the only good Canadian, we have this news update:

After protesters at the University of Ottawa prevented Ann Coulter from giving a speech Tuesday night, the American conservative writer said it proved the point she came to make – free speech in Canada leaves much to be desired.
Then she said what she really thought of the student protesters who surrounded Marion Hall, making it to unsafe, in the view of her bodyguard, for the pundit to attempt entry.
“The University of Ottawa is really easy to get into, isn’t it?” she said in an interview after the cancelled event. . . .
Coulter said she has been speaking regularly at university campuses for a decade. While she has certainly been heckled, she said this is the first time an engagement has been cancelled because of protesters.
“This has never, ever, ever happened before – even at the stupidest American university,” she said.
Coulter remarked on the reception she has had since entering the country.
“Since I’ve arrived in Canada, I’ve been denounced on the floor of Parliament – which, by the way, is on my bucket list – my posters have been banned, I’ve been accused of committing a crime in a speech that I have not yet given, I was banned by the student council, so welcome to Canada!”

James Fulford at VDare explains:

Coulter actually has a case that people are hating her not because she’s beautiful, but because she’s a American. Anti-Americanism is respectable among Canada’s elites, and widespread, but in fact, under Canada’s human rights laws, which include “national or ethnic origin,” it’s just as illegal as hating Somalians.

See you in Vegas, Ann! To quote my favorite pundit (ahem):

Thank God that in America, we’re still free to hate Canadians. As far as I’m concerned, South Park had it right . . .

UPDATE 9:20 a.m. ET (RSM): Continuing to update the hate, here’s Jim Hoft at Gateway Hateway Pundit:

The peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstrators in their keffiyahs would not allow her to speak.

Lest you think Jim’s joking, notice the keffiyah-wearer — with shaved head, next to the woman in purple coat — in this photo (via Donald Douglas at American Power):

The Lonely Conservative:

One student said she was happy to silence Ann Coulter. Oh yes, threatening violence to shut up someone with whom you disagree. How civil.

Blazing Cat Fur:

What a disgrace to Canada but what can you expect from a University that promotes Israeli Apartheid Week. The U of Ottawa was all free-speechy when this hypocrite spoke at Whack-A-Jew-Week

Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs:

These same savages welcome the most hate speech sponsors with open arms and open legs, but truth is verboten.

And Pamela provides this video showing that the Muslim girl who on Monday claimed to be insulted by Coulter is — surprise! surprise! — a member of a Facebook group advocating the destruction of Israel:

    “a cheap Canadian imitation of Bill O’Reilly”

    Really?

    O’Reilly is a pompous windbag. After watching all five parts of the interview, I am anclined to think that BO’R couldn’t carry Coren’s jock.
