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.

hate speech is anything that proves a liberal wrong.

"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in.  I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"

Calling Clinton a buffoon is hate speech? I would love to hear what they call the abuse they give Bush.

70 years ago this small-d!cked creep would've been called exactly what he is...a brown-shirt thug.

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

How is that calling the crowd "stupid?" Seems like a case of "Thou dost protest too much, to me."

BTW, if that photo is current, Ann is looking particularly fine.

Hell, she's looking fine even if the photo isn't current.

UConn...training hypocrites quite well it seems. Clearly no understanding of the First Amendment.

Is a "social welfare major" someone who plans on living off of the welfare system their whole life?

The leftist trash showing us who they really are. Future Howierd Deans of America.

Out of an audience of 2000 plus there were 5 retard KGB wannabes.

I'd say UConn gets the benefit of the doubt.

"...saying she spread a message of intolerance."

Well, it's about time somebody stopped tolerating all the garbage that passes for acceptable human behavior. In my opinion, "tolerance" has become one of the most abused words in the language. Another is "diversity." Since when did these things become innately "good."
