Ann Coulter: Colleges spend their days “indoctrinating kids to hate Republicans”

Ann Coulter: Colleges spend their days “indoctrinating kids to hate Republicans”

"SNIP...................


Earlier this week, Ann Coulter spoke with Florida radio host Joyce Kaufman about President Barack Obama’s plan to subsidize community college educations for millions of students across the country. Surprise, surprise — she hates it.


“If [colleges] are so confident that their students are going to go out and make all kinds of money, why is the taxpayer on the hook for this?” Coulter asked. “This is such a scam how middle-class Americans are being taxed to subsidize the most left-wing industry in America, that spends its days indoctrinating kids to hate Republicans.”

Many colleges and universities encourage independent, critical thinking. For all but a tiny, connected percentage of the top 5%, that means having to deal with unpleasant facts.

Unfortunately for the Flurry With The Fringe On The Top, such independent thinking doesn't benefit the Republican Party.

She is only good at self-promo and has the act down pretty well. Last daring attempt on Real Time with BMaher.

Misinformed and cowardly remarks. Lawyer with black dress and persistently long blond hair can't come up with anything to promote her image again.

What hate-filled curriculum did she receive before taking her bar, then buying the black dress so she could become an expert so many years ago? How old is she now???

There's no specific courses, it's just that educated people see through the Republican Bullshit and make their own decision that conservative ideology is crap.

Just the way it is.

That's why the best republicans come from fake fantasy based delusion teaching religious colleges in the carolinas (don't remember their names, but an example would be the one the jailed vaginal probe former Virginia Governor went to)

They are the party that's of, by and for the rich, and they live off Ayn Rand's bullshit. Now they're kind of slightly pretending to care about income inequality, and it's only making people see how much they hate them even more.

37. Two Minutes Hate Thread.
Sun Feb 8, 2015, 04:45 AM
Feb 2015

This is not news. It is absurd propaganda blather by Coulter to enrage Republicans against Democrats, and repeating it here to enrage Democrats against Republicans is part of the indoctrination, too.

*This* the Red versus Blue, manufactured garbage that passes for political discourse in this nation, but that is actually designed to divide us into our teams and make us hate each other. And the Red and Blue corporate teams want us seething at each other so that we will never, ever unite against the predatory corporate agenda that both corporate fake teams are inflicting on us, no matter which one we elect.

There is nothing of substance here except the Two Minutes Hate. It is propaganda, period.

Here are a few threads of substance. The difference is important:

that discussed either Republicans or Republicanism. The teachers focused on the material in their pre-planned syllabus.

Coulter's remarks about Universities teaching students to "hate Republicans" leads me to wonder if she ever attended any college classes.
