Ann Coulter says ‘hijab’ statement on Hannity was meant to be a joke

Syracuse, NY - When Ann Coulter took the stage at Syracuse University Wednesday night, her friends and enemies visibly split into the people who jumped to their feet in applause and those who sat quietly in their seats.

The author and conservative commentator addressed a crowd of about 400 people in the HBC Buildings Gifford Auditorium.

Coulter delivered some of the familiar one-liners that keep her in the headlines with some backstory from her eight books, which many snatched up for an autograph at the end of the lecture.

Earlier this week, on the show Hannity, she said the wife of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsnarnaev should go to jail for wearing a hijab. Wednesday in Syracuse, she said the quote has not been taken out of context.

But it was a joke, she said.

Coulter said Hannity asked whether she thought anyone else in the family was involved or knew about the bombing. The real answer, she said, is that she didnt know. So she transitioned Hannitys question into the issue she wanted to discuss: immigration. Still, she made no apologies.

On immigration, she says the U.S. policy of allowing new citizens to bring family members to join them is at the expense of allowing other new citizens who have more education and job skills. This is how she puts it: Family reunification means a guy who is illiterate in the language of his own country, never mind ours, beats out a Danish surgeon.

People came to the lecture ready for some verbal sparring and many giggled at the door when the College Republicans announced that there would be no recording devices and no glass bottles allowed inside.

Bob Murfitt, an East Syracuse resident who worked on former Rep. Ann Marie Buerkles campaign, said Coulter delivered the kind of blunt, sometimes caustic talk he expected and likes to hear.

I wish more students who didnt like her had asked her questions, he said after the talk. You dont want to hear people just preaching to the choir. I dont disagree with anything she said.

Star Jones Plots ‘Verbal Beatdown’ of Ann Coulter

Star Jones attends the Broadway opening night for Motown: The Musical at Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 14, 2013 in New York City

*Star Jones, who is hosting the National Association of Professional Womens National Networking Conference this week, joined HuffPost Live Wednesday morning and commented on Ann Coulters recent anti-Muslim comments, in which she said Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaevs widow, Katherine Russell, ought to be in prison for wearing a hijab.

Jones told HuffPost Live hosts Marc Lamont Hill and Alicia Menendez that she would open up one of the spots at her conference to Coulter, who she described as a woman that could benefit from networking with women who actually understand the concept that women are not a monolith.

When asked what would happen if Coulter did attend her conference, Jones said:

She would probably get the beatdown, and hopefully it would be a verbal beatdown so the women could explain to her that what makes America great is the diversity of our cultures and the meeting of different cultures together to form this one beautiful fabric.

Jones added that she is ashamed of Coulters totally racist comments.

Elmwood artist Ann Coulter seeks truth in pastel art

Ann Coulter's camera is always close at hand - photographs are the landscape artist's preliminary sketches.

"For me, taking a photograph is a way to capture an instant," said Coulter, 55, while sitting in her studio at the Murray Building in Peoria recently. "Translating it into a drawing is a way of understanding what I like about it."

Coulter's pastel drawings will be displayed at Pearce Gallery in Dunlap April 30 through June 14. The artist will talk about her work at noon May 17.

Most days, as Coulter commutes to her Downtown studio from the 150-year-old Elmwood farmhouse she shares with her husband Ken, the camera is by her side, ready to capture an interesting sunset, a cloudburst visible across miles of rich brown farmland, or a thicket turned golden by the setting sun.

"I don't take the interstate. I take the back roads so I can pull over," she said.

The Midwestern landscape is endlessly interesting to Coulter, who was born and raised in Joliet and has lived in central Illinois since getting a master's in art at San Diego State University in the early 1980s.

"For me, looking at the landscape and being a part of it is sort of a grounding experience," she said. Modern society tends to be disconnected from the land in a way our ancestors could not have imagined. "It's important to be paying attention to something that isn't man-made," said Coulter. "We don't realize how much the landscape and nature affects us."

Coulter's on-site photographs are the first step of a process that is finished in the studio. Paper is tacked onto the wall and, using pastels, the artist begins disseminating the visual information in the photographs.

"I'm interested in the process of translating things," she said. "Taking a photograph is one translation, making a drawing of it is another. Things shift in every way, from the form and the light and the shape and the color, you can't have an exact replica. Those shifts are subtle, but they are significant."

For Coulter, this shift in translation has greater meaning.
