What happened to Ann was even worse IMO. A bunch of non-funny hack comedians stand up and verbially call a woman a c-nt, vs. a stupid throwaway statement you said in (relative) privacy?
If you've ever watched one of those Comedy Central Roasts, that is standard fare. The roasters roast and insult the other roasters just as much as they do the roastee – sometimes worse.
I will not post it here because of the obscenities (you can look it up on YouTube if you want), but at the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump, Lisa Lampanelli called fellow roaster Whitney Cummings a C***. And Whitney Cummings was even more obscene.
Perhaps the vitriol towards Ann Coulter was over the top, but she is an idiot if she had no idea of what she was getting into.
My theory is that she didn’t care. She was there to try to get publicity for her new book.
