That bothers me as well. She should be allowed to speak.
But I would like to have a monitor in control who can silence her mike and call out logical fallacies or statements that are deemed false, providing sources and even reading the actual facts or prevailing opinion, and proceed in that way, so that her every falsehood leads to an immediate and long rebuttal.
Of course, the right would cry foul, saying the monitor was biased and Coulter didn't get free speech -- and therein lies the rub.
How do you intelligently allow an ignoramus to freely speak to an audience of ignoramuses (not typical Berkeley students but Coulter fans) in your cultured backyard in a way that enlightens anyone?
Poor Berkeley. A lose-lose situation.
P.S. All debates and speeches should have a monitor who can interrupt and rebut anything not entirely true. That's the only way I will ever watch speeches and debates going forward. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time.
