Ann Coulter, worried about her career prospects as a right-wing pundit since Obama’s victory, got new optimism in the short term since the student rally in Ottawa this past Tuesday.
Coulter thanked the students of the University of Ottawa today, saying “those 200 darling students who rallied in front of Marion Hall for me at the University of Ottawa provided me with the kind of publicity that could not have been bought at any price.” In turn, relying on a right-wing press to inflate the number to 2000 and to provide close-up images of her loving supporters to hide the actual size of the crowd, she could say that she had a sizeable following in Ottawa, and that her well-wishers were egging her on. “Thank you, Ottawa!”
This ensured a packed auditorium when speaking later at the University of Calgary, where hundreds of students who didn’t know who she was the day before suddenly clamoured to be part of the listening audience.
Here is a revealing look at the situation.
