I love debates. I have spent four years studying the practice of public discourse. These clips from the Connecticut Forum show a truly historic event between two radical extremes from the left and the right: Ann Coulter and Al Franken. It is evident that both Coulter and Franken are excellent public speakers. However, it’s clear the Coulter wasn’t prepared to get schooled on the content of his/her own books and the lies they are filled with. She resorts to name calling and bad mouthing liberals to fill up her time instead of formulating and presenting a strong, rational argument. Coulter suggests that racial profiling is how we should handle airport security, he/she actually supports modern-day McCarthyism. Franken comes out the clear winner of the debate, although it’s still not clear who has the biggest penis. Check out the videos after the jump…

Founder and Executive Editor of Hiptics. I launched Hiptics in 2008. I spent the last 4 years at Denison University where I hosted a weekly hip-hop radio show on 91.1 WDUB (one of America's Top 20 Most Popular College Radio Stations). I also served as Public Relations Chairman, Program Director, and Webmaster of the station. I genuinely love hip-hop, and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the culture starting with selling my own music in Middle School (haha, true story). I won the Culture Jam Freestyle Battle at Denison both times I participated. I brought Wiz Khalifa, EbGb, and D.Julien to campus for a free Hiptics show in January 2010. I've interviewed everyone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to the CEO of Death Row Records. I've DJ'd for Wiz Khalifa and Sam Adams, as well as at countless parties and campus events. There's a lot more to be said, but I don't want to be THAT guy. My point is this: I'm not just another one of these hip-hop bloggers. If the Internet didn't exist, I'd still be in the game.

Do you think Ann Coulter really believes the ideology she professes or is it all an act? Can anyone truly feel honorable spouting unabashed racism anymore in a public forum? I think it’s all for attention personally, If she was a liberal she would have gotten nowhere, because liberals are by law way hotter than conservatives. She’s an ok looking chick that gives dumb racists something to stare at while “educating themselves” with Fox news, all the while masquerading as a seemingly intelligent and articulate voice that backs up sad and ill-formulated rhetoric.
Next she will put “Segregation Now, Segregation Forever!” under her favorite quotes on Facebook. lol
I really really want to believe that Coulter is only saying the things she is saying for attention. Nobody is _that_ crazy right?
whatever happened to Ann Coulter? she seems to make a fewer public appearances nowadays
