Unlikely supporters keep piling up in Ann Coulter's corner in the wake of the cancellation of the conservative provocateur's speaking engagement at UC Berkeley.
Whereas some totalitarians -- oops, we mean liberals -- like Constitutionally-confused former Presidential candidate Howard Dean claimed Coulter didn't have the right to speak, some stood up for her. In addition to frumpy socialist Bernie "Everything should be free!" Sanders and shrill radical Elizabeth "You didn't build that!" Warren, the ACLU – yes, you read that right – stepped up in Coulter's defense. The civil liberties organization declared that shutting down the speech authorities were predicting would be received by a 99% chance of violence represents a "defeat for the first amendment," which is tragically true.
In a tweet, the ACLU National said that Berkeley's snowflakes have used the "heckler's veto" and should be ashamed:
The ACLU couldn't help itself from taking a jab at Coulter, however, referring to her views as "hateful," so it was tepid support at best.
