Bombthrowers: Columnist Ann Coulter has canceled an upcoming speech at the University of California at Berkeley after coming under fire from both sides.
Fox News reports:
The hecklers used their veto.
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter told Fox News on Wednesday she would no longer give a planned speech at UC Berkeley after Young America’s Foundation pulled its support for the event amid threats of violence, calling her decision “a dark day for free speech in America.”
The speech was originally scheduled to take place Thursday – but Berkeley asked to postpone it until next month after protests over the planned speech grew into a nationally-watched firestorm.
Coulter, YAF — which had helped organize and finance the event — and the Berkeley College Republicans initially fought the school’s decision, with YAF and the college Republicans filing a civil rights lawsuit on Monday. But by Wednesday YAF had “actively” opposed Coulter’s speech, she said, and “ordered the lawyer not [to] file for [a] court order” which would have mandated a room for the talk. The college Republicans are bound by YAF’s decision, Coulter said, “so there’s nothing more I can do.”
YAF’s statement. Make of it what you will. This sucks. People continuing to cave just emboldens the cretins.

No balls, no blue chips.
I imagine Republicans in Berkeley are about as steel spined as Republicans in New York. Cutting and running when you had them on the ropes is just what I’ve come to expect from most Republicans.
How can we fight off this enemy when we have to worry about our allies stabbing us in the back.
We are losing to the elitists, communists, and academia. They have taken over our Universities, our Media, and our politicians. It will take guns and ammo to straighten this mess out down the line.
Good luck and May God Help US.
To bad. I’m confident we had a good party planned for Antifa.
Mean while Seattle better learn how to fight back.

Ann is for Ann. No mistake.
Welcome to the Club Ann, most Americans have been stabbed in the back by the GOP by likes of Bob Dole, GHW Bush, George Bush, Hastert, Boehner, McCain, Graham, Murkowski, susan Collins, Ryan and McConnell.
You never get used to it, but they are predictable.
Ann is for Ann? How does that track? She didn’t cancel because they wouldn’t supply her with room temperature artesian water for shit’s sake.
240grJHP. Explain yourself please.
“Ann is for Ann”, who cares. Like Tommy says it will take guns and ammo to straighten this mess out and she was the fuse and a battle ground we knew. Nothing will change until some of them get shot up. I hate to sound like an ass hole but that’s the truth. Let’s get the party started. The sooner the better.
Moe Tom has it right – and that’s what they (the Repubs) are scared of. This is no longer a war of ideas to the Left – because they know they cannot win…so they have to shut us down. The idiots complaining about fascism become fascists themselves. We, the Right, WILL defend our rights in all ways necessary. That is what makes everyone nervous…that we will stand up for ourselves and our rights.
Free speech event cancelled because of protest threat? Pussies all!
Ryan sure didn’t have a problem supporting Obama’s agenda of division and destruction.
Talk about stabbing in the back, when will Speaker Lyin’ Ryan start supporting the Trump (American) Agenda ?
Trump should keep doing rallies and allow people like Ann, Robert Spencer and others speak before he arrives.
Brad’s right. Eventually it’s going to come down to violence. When is the $100,000 question.
Be prepeared, cause knowbody knows when and how violent it will be.
That is why the left want the confiscation of guns. They already control everything else.
@ Dianny, I’m pretty sure they’re not allies anymore.
It’s all well & good to have right wing speakers in safe spaces speaking with the president & to the choir, but it’s catastrophic to not be able to beard the lions in their den. Don’t ask for scraps, you must conquer their domain. Stab a stake in the heart of Berkeley or lose your ability to own any portion of the youth. That’s why Republicans always lose, even when they win. They are all surrendering cuckolded pussies. Ann isn’t a pussy.
My God, the GOP is populated by the biggest pack of pathetic fucking pussies on the goddamn planet. Jesus. The left may be total shitbags, but at least they have some goddamn nerve.
” When is the $100,000 question.”
That’s why Ann’s appearance was so important. We could have controlled that battle ground. It was ours. Maybe that’s why the powers to be had it shut down. But this will continue until some 19 to 22 year olds are sent back the their upper income families in a box. Now we’re back to letting them pick the battle grounds. The can just got kicked way down he road.
The lamp of conservatism illuminating the minds of another generation.
Conservatism… all the communism, just next Tuesday.
Check Gavin McGinnis’ twitter. I think it’s back on with him reading her speech at Sproul Plaza.

Fark, and I wanted to see more snowflakes get
their asses beat.
Damn. And I just put a brand new 2 stage Geisselle trigger in my illegal AR-15.

Mansfield Lovell,
Brownells ran a $128 special on their G2S trigger. I got $10 off shipping as well. $118 for a Giselle trigger ain’t bad.
