STORRS, Connecticut (AP) -- Conservative columnist Ann Coulter cut short a speech at the University of Connecticut amid boos and jeers, and decided to hold a question-and-answer session instead.

"I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am," Coulter told the crowd of 2,600 Wednesday.

Before cutting off her speech after about 15 minutes, Coulter called Bill Clinton an "executive buffoon" who won the presidency only because Ross Perot took 19 percent of the vote.

Coulter's appearance prompted protests from several student groups. About 100 people rallied outside the auditorium where she spoke, saying she spread a message of intolerance.

"We encourage diverse opinion at UConn, but this is blatant hate speech," said Eric Knudsen, a 19-year-old sophomore journalism and social welfare major who heads campus group Students Against Hate.

It wasn't the first time Coulter has had trouble at a university speech. In October 2004, two men ran onstage and threw custard pies as she was giving a speech at the University of Arizona.

UConn junior Kareem Mohni, 20, said he was disgusted by his peers' reaction to Coulter.

"It really appalled me that we're not able to come together as a group and listen to a different view in a respectful environment," Mohni said

Should I know who Ann Coulter is? Well, I don't, so I guess the reason behind this eludes me.

Coulter in Quotes:

Quote:
"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

Quote:
God says, "Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours."


Quote:
The only beef Enron employees have with top management is that management did not inform employees of the collapse in time to allow them to get in on the swindle. If Enron executives had shouted, "Head for the hills!" the employees might have had time to sucker other Americans into buying wildly over-inflated Enron stock. Just because your boss is a criminal doesn't make you a hero.


Quote:
"Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism, but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy."


Quote:
"When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."


Quote:
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."


Quote:
AFTER LAST WEEK'S drubbing in the midterm elections, the Abortion Party (formerly known as the Democratic Party) is looking for direction

Second that, they should just lock her in a solitary cell, she'd probably just eat Micheal Moore

Controversial. But everyone's entitled to an opinion, I don't think freedom of speech has been banned yet. Consenting voices are good, it encourages healthy debate

If I went to the University of Connecticut, I wouldn't be pissed at Ann's choice of words. She is entitled to that. Instead I would be pissed that the University spent a few thousand dollars to have her speak.

We really should be using this time of year to build people up, not tear them down. Can I get an "amen"?? Love for conservatives, people. Love for conservatives!

If they have kids, what would be the odds that they have severe schizophrenia?

Like Ann, I to have my good days and my bad days, but I want to thank Peeps and ______(I forget the other one) for not letting me get away with the bad spelling. I also want to send a shout out to the other spelling retards, "Keep Trying, It Only Gets Better, Then Worse again, Then Better......."

Yes she most certainly is titled to her opinion. And speaking of which, here's mine: Ann is a piece of shit. She is the enemy.

I would love to have a nice debate with Ann. I'd break her down and have that corporate whore crying without coming within ten feet of her.
