Conservative commentator Ann Coulter has canceled her speech planned for this week at the University of California's Berkeley campus after a dispute with university officials, who feared violent protests, over whether a safe venue could be found.Ann Coulter has been doing her shtick for nearly 30 years now. We've heard it all before and one would ordinarily think the reaction to her appearance in any venue ought to be boredom, but here we have the battle joined.
"There will be no speech," she wrote in an email to Reuters on Wednesday, saying two conservative groups sponsoring her speech were no longer supporting her. "I looked over my shoulder and my allies had joined the other team," she wrote.
The Left is not winning the argument these days. From what I can tell, they aren't even trying to win. The prevailing mode of discourse is you should shut up now.
For its part, the ACLU issued a pro forma denunciation of what happened to Coulter:

| I doubt they will, though |

| Love is in the air |

What's going to be really interesting is how this ends up playing in actual elections. Trump probably isn't ever going to be popular; we're too divided on partisan lines for that. But this kind of behavior makes the Left look un-electable. However much they might say they hate fascists, they're the ones in the room who look, feel, and smell like goose-steppers.
its an easy problem to solve if your willing to break a few eggs.
Fighting fascism by dressing up as the Sturmabteilung/Squadristi and beating some people up for disagreeing with you....and as prominent voices on the left don't denounce them. Sad to say, this may actually be a step down from their response to the violence perpetrated against civil rights marches in the 1960s, as at least Northern Democrats came out on the right side of that one.
If onlyf a few of them could be shown that "Orange is the new black."
