The Daily Texan reports a student was arrested at a speech by Ann Coulter after the following incident:

Coulter said she supported the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman on the basis that a good woman civilizes and inspires a man to strive for something better, leading to a question that was met with a stunned silence. "You say that you believe in the sanctity of marriage," said Ajai Raj, an English sophomore. "How do you feel about marriages where the man does nothing but fuck his wife up the ass?" UT Police officers approached Raj to arrest him, resulting in a mass exodus of protesters chanting, "Let him go." "The person had been disruptive the entire event," said Matt Hardigree, former Student Events Center president. "He took the opportunity to say something lewd and offensive and then made masturbatory gestures as he exited."

Why have some Leftists decided within the last few weeks that it is "witty" and "thought provoking" to ask obscene questions about sex during speeches by conservatives? The question could have been asked in a legitimate way to actually stimulate a dialogue. Ajai Raj had no intention of furthering dialogue or challenging conservatives' thought process. His only purpose was to disrupt the speech. Campus police made the right decision to remove him.

Have expectations really fallen this far? I would expect such vulgarity from a fourteen year old trying to get attention, but not from a student at a major university. Perhaps Raj should reconsider whether he is mature enough to continue his education at this time.

This pervert's "question" and the attempts to shout Coulter down reveal a disturbing trend with the radical Left. Instead of simply expressing disagreement, extreme Leftists try to silence opposing views. At least Coulter was not assaulted during her speech, as she was last October at another university. For all of the screeching we hear from the Left about "diversity", there is little or no tolerance from extreme Leftists for ideological diversity.

The Daily Texan revealed its bias by referring to Coulter as "an extreme right-wing pundit". That sort of value judgment on a confrontational yet mainstream conservative speaker belongs on the opinion page, not in a news report on the speech. "Conservative" or even "right-wing" would have been appropriate; "extreme right-wing" was not. Would the Daily Texan refer to Al Sharpton as an "extreme left-wing" activist? Do I really need to ask that question?

An update to my post from earlier today: The Leftist pervert who disrupted Ann Coulter's speech with an obscene question has written a profanity-filled justification for his perversion.

Basically, his point is that Coulter is not to be taken seriously and that she is "mean", so he was justified at spewing filth when it was his turn to ask a question.

Once again, I have to question this pervert's qualifications for attending a major university. His whining and crying sounds more like a 14-year-old who has never been disciplined than what one would expect of a university "student".

If this little pervert thinks politics is not to be taken seriously, then why couldn't he have made his point in a mature, intelligent way? Why did he have to be crude and obscene to make his "point"? He doesn't care about the level of discourse; he only wanted his 15 minutes of fame. Well, bud, you got it. Now the whole world knows what a pervert you are and we are all looking down on you.

I hope his parents are ashamed of him. If they aren't, that is a bigger concern than him being proud of himself.
