Ann Coulter gets booed by a roomful of libertarians


Coulter was jeered for saying that gay people can get married, "They have to marry a member of the opposite sex"

BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD


During a debate with Fox Business’ John Stossel, Ann Coulter got booed after reportedly calling libertarians “p*ssies” and saying that gay people can get married, “They have to marry a member of the opposite sex.”

Stossel was filming his show at the International Students for Liberty Conference in Washington, D.C., with around 1400 libertarian students in attendance, according to Mediaite’s Andrew Kirell. When Stossel brought up the drug war, Coulter scoffed, and reportedly (though it was bleeped out) said, “this is why people think libertarians are p*ssies.”

She continued:

We’re living in a country that is 70-percent socialist, the government takes 60 percent of your money. They are taking care of your health care, of your pensions. They’re telling you who you can hire, what the regulations will be. And you want to suck up to your little liberal friends and say, ‘Oh, but we want to legalize pot.’ You know, if you were a little more manly you would tell the liberals what your position on employment discrimination is. How about that? But it’s always ‘We want to legalize pot.’”


When Stossel asked Coulter: “Why can’t gays get married?” She replied: “Well, they can. They have to marry a member of the opposite sex.” She was heartily booed.

I've heard right wingers say it before, and it strikes me as so smug, it makes me want to slap them. Gays have the same right to marry a member of the opposite sex as straight people do. Well, that's not the point, assholes.

but at least they actually are semi-correct on a few issues, Ann. Your party, however, is incorrect on EVERY issue, including marriage equality and the War on Drugs. The GOP has absolutely no ideas that a majority of Americans would find helpful or beneficial to them. And it's the answer to your million dollar question about why most in the black community no longer like the GOP; because all your ideas suck.

She may be beginning to realize she burned her bridges with the baggers by not hating the gays enough and having a crush on Chris Christie so who is going to buy her trash now? She's just trying to get her moronic fans back.
