Bernie Sanders Defends Ann Coulter

[kcr]

64. If he stopped at no one should make threats, I'd be fine with that.

But this: "The best way to counter Coulter is to politely ask her “questions which expose the weakness of her arguments,” he said:

“What are you afraid of ― her ideas? Ask her the hard questions. Confront her intellectually. Booing people down, or intimidating people, or shutting down events, I don’t think that that works in any way.”

is utter nonsense. I bet he doesn't sit around and willingly expose himself to her bullshit and ask her questions and listen to her answers. Why does he think anyone else should have to? It's really easy for people who arent' being targeted by Ann Coulter to be subjected to her swill to those who are: You have to sit down and listen to her nonsense and take it! Because she has a right to speech! So, just be polite and ask the questions! That's all ya gotta do! Then they can go home to their nice, comfy Ann Coulter free zone and chill and it's all good for them!

And to call these students intellectually lazy. Wow. He just exposes himself more and more each time he opens his mouth. Standing up to hate speech is not intellecutally lazy!
