Protesters Appear at Ann's Book Signing in the Villages, FL

    On Saturday, September 26, 2015, Ann went to a book signing at Barnes & Noble in the Villages, FL. This event was 10 days after Ann's "f---ing Jews" tweet, but the protesters are mainly there because of the tweet. There are 3 articles about the event (each includes its own photos). Here are some quotes:

1. Mel Madarang posted this report on Villages-News.com.
"[Coulter said] that her new book includes a chapter that the protestors could read because of its "Pro-Israel" sentiments and comments on Israel’s policy on immigration.

Coulter joked by saying that she was finished with the Israel comment and had moved onto commenting on Pope Francis. She was then informed that the protestors were also present because of her anti-Catholic statements.

"It’s not about the Pope, not about Israel, it’s about immigration,"  Coulter in an interview with Villages-News.com in a back room at the Lake Sumter Landing bookseller." [Mistakes original.]

2. Madarang posted another piece.
"Demonstrators held up American and Israeli flags, as well as signs expressing denouncement towards support for Coulter outside the store. Many of the protestors said they felt offended by Coulter’s anti-Semitic Tweet...

"This is an informational demonstration opposed against racial bigotry," said Pastor Drew Willard of United Church of Christ who was invited by Temple Shalom to stand in solidarity for the Jewish people.

All others of the estimated 200 protestors were offended by not only the anti-Semitic comment, but the anti-Catholic Tweet posted by Coulter." [Mistakes original.]

3. Gal Tziperman Lotan posted this article on Orlando Sentinel.
"As a line of Coulter's fans formed inside the bookstore, dozens of protesters gathered outside, waving American and white-and-blue Israeli flags.

They focused not on the book, but on a series of Tweets she wrote during the Sept. 16 Republican presidential debate."
"Steve Lowe, president of Temple Shalom of Central Florida, said a group of community leaders in The Villages read about the tweets and decided to protest Coulter's book signing.

"We just don't feel that we can tolerate any more of the incendiary racial and religious remarks, because they're so divisive to people," he said. "We, as Jews, will not accept it anymore.""

Illegals Disturb One of Ann's Book Signings

    On Wednesday, July 1, 2015, Ann's book signing at a Barnes and Noble in Costa Mesa, CA, was interrupted by protesters (primarily illegal aliens and those who appear to be of Mexican descent).

    Here are 2 videos, each less than a minute:




    Another video can be found at Breitbart, along with a report on the protest.

    Here is Ann's response to the protest.

    Also, a piece (that contains two videos and some pictures) on DailyLoL.com says:

"A flash mob congregates, drop banners and begin profanity-laced chants and tirades (plenty of children present):..."
"As people exited the store with signed books, the mob threw garbage and chanted at them profanely:

[video]

"Go back to Europe asshole"
"Fu*k you whitey""
"Kill Ann Coulter
ETC.

[Above punctuation is quoted exactly.]

Two protestors [sic] made it through tight security and nearly assaulted Ms. Coulter before bodyguards could subdue them and security removed from the event[.]"



    Additionally, a blog post published on OC Weekly by Gabriel San Roman on Friday, July 3, 2015, explains what "really happened." (In other words: the liberal perspective.)
"A pair of blog posts put out preposterous claims that Coulter originally planned a talk but chose a signing out of security fears. Protesters were also said to have tried to assault the author before being turned away. Another lie holds that the crowd spit at Coulter's fans when they exited the bookstore.

None of it is true.

Coulter told me that there was never any lecture planned--just the signing. And with all this supposed chaos, there would have been a couple arrests, no?"

    Besides this, Roman would not shake Ann's hand.


    Also, after pestering Ann, Roman was led out by the staff:
""I thought you wanted a debate on immigration, Ann," I said while being led out."
    Yes, she does. There are two reasons she would not spontaneously debate Roman. First, when dozens of people are waiting in line to speak with Ann, she should not engage in a random debate with a random stranger. Second, what's the point of a debate if Roman (only one person) will benefit or learn anything from it? There is a point, but what does Roman do? Roman buys ¡Adios America!, but then lets the protesters tear it to pieces. That proves that Roman does not even care.
