Controversial commentator comes to FW

Fort Wayne, Ind. (WANE) - - Hundreds of people packed the Grand Wayne Center to hear Ann Coulter speak Friday evening.

The conservative political commentator spoke to a group of people about the current state of politics in the country.

Even though the hot topic right now is Syria, Coulter only touched on it briefly. She said she didn't believe a Democrat should be Commander in Chief.

However, she spent more of her time talking about immigration reform, gun amnesty, gay marriage, and healthcare.

After she spoke, Coulter took questions from the audience, who traveled from all over Indiana to hear the speech.

One of the audience members asked Coulter if she thought the Republican Party would get back to how it was during the Reagan Administration.

She answered by saying the next GOP presidential candidate needs to be a senator or governor who has had experience winning a large election. She even said Governor Mike Pence could be a contender.

"I would say a governor or senator from a very large state, so who does that leave us with, well there's your governor," Coulter said.

The large majority of people there supported Coulter and her views and said she gave a good show.

"I'm kind of torn on the gay marriage and abortion issues," said Nancy Cronin, who came to the speech. "I'm kind of on both sides, but it's good to hear her side and what everybody else thinks."

Lightning rod Ann Coulter to visit city

FORT WAYNE The sponsor of her Friday appearance in Fort Wayne calls Ann Coulter one of Americas most outspoken women.

No stretch there. The conservative political commentator and author typically is described as outrageous and provocative. Coulter trades on her flamboyant, anything-goes persona, according to a 2010 profile by the New York Times.

Titles of her best-selling books have paired the word liberal with demonic, godless and treason. She referred to President Barack Obama as the retard in a tweet last year.

All of it has paid off for Coulter, 51, who for many years has occupied a national right-wing media stratum that includes Rush Limbaugh, Bill OReilly and Sean Hannity.

Coulter will appear at 8 p.m. Friday at Grand Wayne Center as the first speaker in the Northern Indiana Business & Life Masters Series sponsored by Fort Wayne radio station WOWO.

Coulter, who reportedly has homes in Palm Beach, Fla., New York City and Los Angeles, will be joined by Fox News analyst and commentator Todd Starnes.

About 600 tickets ranging from $25 for general admission to $150 for a dinner and meet and greet with Coulter have been sold for the event, according to Brian Sheikh, event coordinator for Federated Entertainment, a division of the company that owns WOWO.

Sheikh said about 80 people will attend the dinner. A VIP section near the stage, where 150 seats cost $50 each, has sold out. A bus carrying people to Grand Wayne from Mishawaka sold all of its 56 seats at $39 each.

Coulter will speak for about a half-hour, have a question-and-answer session with her audience and sign copies of her latest book, Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama.

Sheikh said in an email he could not disclose Coulters appearance fee. Various media have reported in recent years that Coulter charges $20,000 or more for speeches.

Comments on "Hannity" Unnecessary and Unhelpful to Fellow Conservatives, Distracts from Serious Debate

References to Obama and Monkey Seen as a Ploy to Create Controversy, Sell Books

Washington, D.C. - Three conservative activists affiliated with the National Center for Public Policy Research who possess more than 85 years of professional experience between them are criticizing author Ann Coulter for her shameful racial tweaking on the September 9 edition of Fox News Channel program "Hannity."

Coulter, who is releasing a new book next month, appeared on "Hannity" to discuss the Obama Administration's weak response on Syria. On three occasions during in the approximately seven-minute segment, Coulter used "Obama" and "monkey" in the same sentence. It was done in the context of Russian President Vladimir Putin manipulating the Syrian crisis to make Obama look weak and indecisive on the international stage.

During the interview, Coulter said Putin "is making a monkey out of Obama," that the crisis may have been orchestrated "to make Obama look like a monkey" and that Putin "made Obama a monkey" on several occasions since the President's re-election.

While Coulter is free to choose her idioms, it appeared obvious her word choice was purposefully meant to provoke controversy. Even host Sean Hannity called out Coulter on her syntax three times during the relatively short segment, specifically asking at one point: "Why are you saying that? Because you know people are going to criticize you for using that term against the President... Are you trying to be provocative?" Obviously taken aback, Coulter paused and denied Hannity's assertion, but then subsequently used the term "ragdoll" to characterize Putin as "playing with" Obama.
