it's Loyola Marymount - hasn't been Loyola U. since 1972 - ya know the school that Hank Gathers went to ...
"it's Loyola Marymount - hasn't been . since 1972"
I know that. So why are you telling me???
I never referred to it as "Loyola U"...
maybe you are addressing the wrong person...
Notice that she is not speaking at the most radical of leftist bastions, UW Madison, UC Berkely, UO Eugene, UW Seattle, or her own alma mater in Ithaca.
Everyone knows her eyes are laser beam green, not baby blue.
Hee hee! Did I fool you with that one?
I'm here now at LMU - can't waitSo, did YOU get in to see Ann...?
...or were one of the HUNDREDS of LMU students who had to be turned away at the door of this "standing room only" crowd last night -- held in the (MUCH too small) Burns Back Court?PS - Coming soon, my NEW thread:

Los Angeles LOYOLAN ^ | 11/30/05 | Rachel Jones
report: HUNDREDS turned away as Ann Coulter ENERGIZES packed house at Loyola Marymount - PHOTOS!O.K., here is a preview of that thread...
One of the BIG winners of last night's event -- besides ANN, of course -- was THIS courageous (and determined) young woman, from www.laloyolan.com:
Natalie was one of the driving forces behind last night's ENORMOUS (if somewhat imperfect) success, which was sponsored by the LMU student newspaper, The LOYOLAN.
Natalie Nordseth - Managing Editor
Natalie Nordseth is a political science and communication studies major from Dallas, Texas.
You can e-mail her at nnordseth@theloyolan.com.
Way to go, NATALIE!Note to potential organizers of "Ann" events at OTHER colleges:NATALIE got to hang out with Ann, before AND after the event, as she SHE was the event co-ordinator.How's THAT for a reward for doing the right thing?
heh - I left office at 4:30pm and saw the line forming up at 5:45pm. Got tired of waiting and it was too cold to stand in line
I'll be waiting for my Loyolan tomorrow to read Nat's column
Carville stated many times how corrupt the Bush administration is as though it ONLY happens in the Bush administration. One example of his many lies was when he stated that only one person from the Clinton administration went to prison.
To his credit Carville was straight forward and on point. In short much easier understood than Coulter. Coulter made dozens of good and interesting points but she said them in such a way you REALLY had to keep up with politics to know what she was saying. Even my wife had to ask me what she was talking about a couple times.
There was some heckling from the back against Coulter and a staged walk out of about 10 people. Most of the people were respectful but there was some serious anger in the room.
I believe Ann Coulter is great, I never seen her live before tonight. I think she was distracted or tired. She did make a great comeback when one student said she was taking a critical thinking and rhetorical reading class and yet she was reading from a pamphlet and really knocking Coulter hard (the student took it to a personal level.) Ann simply asked her why are you reading from a pamphlet if you are taking that class?
Another comeback was when a student asked a long question part of it asking her, why she is trying to take womens right of speech away? Coulter responded paraphrased, why would I do that? That is how I earn my living and everything else you asked is simply moronic.
Twice Ann didnt answer the question that was given to her. This is why I think she was tired or distracted. For example one guy stood up and gave her a softball question, in my opinion. He said, Carville and yourself show the extremes in both parties, what about people like me that are in the middle?
Ann answered by saying how lunatic fringe the Demarcate party is today. A student stood up (out of order) and said, You dont listen, do you? Why dont you answer his question? Ann replied, I did.
The loudest response of the night came when a student asked Ann something like, I respect the first amendment but dont you feel anything when you use your rhetoric to hurt good people while you are making millions from what you say? (I dont remember what Ann said but she did NOT answer the question.) Here is an article on this in the Laloyolan (school paper):
Students fill Burns Back Court for Carville and Coulter
She seriously needs to eat. Food.
I have to ask just when, and by what authority, have Liberals and the treasonous suddenly become "good people"?

those were not my words.
I should have made it more clear - the question was a rhetorical one.
Sorry 'bout that.
Here are the FIRST TWO hits from a Google search for "Ann Coulter" Loyola:

"Yo, Loyola Lions"...

It sounds like he is a little dishonest in his rhetoric.
Maybe he should look for common ground.
We had a hard enough time getting even THREE of us into this "LMU-only" event.The GOOD news is, that Ann is coming BACK to Los Angeles on March 27...
...and we are working on a way to get MANY MORE of us to see her then. :o)
