The Facebook event page for Ann Coulter’s February 9 appearance at GW now reads: All are welcome to attend this free lecture, followed by Q & A. We encourage our liberal friends to join us for a night to remember. Previously, it read (as reported here on the GW Patriot blog): We encourage our...

Sergio Gor and his minions of controversy are at it again. Noted pundit, “conservative” and former personal leader, Ann Coulter will be returning to GW on Saturday February 9th. I plan on attending, Just because it’ll interesting, and full of boos and laughter. “We encourage our lunatic liberal friends to join us for a...
