“Confront her intellectually.”

Exactly so. Kudos to the Senator from Vermont.

it's no fun having a battle of wits with someone whom is unarmed.

personally think its more challenging. Like the Ken Ham v Bill Nye debate. Yes, if your goal is to dismantle your opponents arguments while fortifying your own, you won't really win. The goal should be to get your opponent to dismantle their own arguments, in such a clear and unavoidable way that even their supporters will talk about how bad the person did in the debate even if they can't admit the views being defended were the problem. If you're not willing to approach it that way, better to not debate at all.

That's what happens when you bring a half-wit to a wit fight.

Bernie's right, though the link should probably go to the original article, rather than the Washington Fucking "Times".

"Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks said the campus could not accommodate the speech because the planned venue was deemed inadequately secure by local police"

That seems clear enough.

If you read the whole thing, it's less clear.

Coulter is a laughable freakshow. The attention she's paid, the mainstreaming she gets from this sort of thing, is an error on the students' part.
