And it was documented by Hate Queen Ann Coulter, or you the paror? Protests force columnist Coulter to stop speech ‘I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am’ The Associated Press Updated: 8:27 a.m. ET Dec. 8, 2005 STORRS, Conn. - 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.
