It wouldn’t be an Ann Coulter appearance without some “controversy,” especially as manufactured by the Pavlovian lapdogs of the MSM, and last week’s appearance by the author and syndicated columnist at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont., was no exception.
Conservative author Ann Coulter found herself embroiled in controversy last week after she spoke at a Canadian university.
According to numerous American media outlets, when asked by a seventeen-year-old Muslim student at the University of Western Ontario last Monday, “[S]ince I don’t have a magic carpet, what other modes [of transportation] do you suggest,” Coulter responded, “Take a camel.”
What the Coulter-hating media ignored is that she spent almost two full minutes giving a rather thoughtful, fact-based answer to the first, more serious part of Fatima Al-Dhaher’s question, and was badgered by others in the crowd who clearly didn’t like her response.

And here’s how CNN newsreader Rick Sanchez set it up:
RICK SANCHEZ, HOST: Ann Coulter in Canada, her speech last night canceled because of protesters who say that she’s a spokeswoman for hate.
Let’s catch up. If you weren’t with us then, let — let’s bring it into this now. This is Ann Coulter Monday. This is an exchange I’m going to show you now. It’s — it’s incredible, what she says. It’s with a — it’s — it’s an exchange with a student at the University of Western Ontario after Coulter suggested Muslims should not be allowed to fly on airplanes and should travel only on flying carpets.
No wonder nobody watches CNN any more.
