Poor Canada, Here Comes Coulter

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is headed to Canada to speak at three colleges. Some students are protesting her appearance and are saying she should be careful what she say lest she be found guilty of hate speech.

From the story:
Among Coulter's more contentious assertions is that the U.S. should invade Muslim countries and convert their people to Christianity. She has also suggested Canada is lucky the U.S. allows it "to exist on the same continent."
These aren't examples of hate speech. They're punch lines, especially the second one. But the campus speech fascists can't stand to hear anything of which they don't approve. Not content with simply not showing up, these censors like to shut people up and send them packing. If anything should be against the accepted practice at a university, it should be that.
