Ann Coulter Addresses Receptive SB Crowd

By Micah Danney
Conservative commentator and columnist Ann Coulter drew laughter and applause March 31 at Stony Brook University by criticizing liberals who, Coulter said, “want to do nothing” when their country faces a crisis and by announcing that she was backing Democrat Hillary Clinton over Republican John McCain.

The GOP presidential hopeful, Coulter said, was a “fragile vessel” for the Republican message, adding that Clinton might even be more conservative than McCain, whom she dismissed as a “liberal.”

About Stony Brook Now!

SB Now! is an online news publication of the School of Journalism with reporting by students on Stony Brook on video, with photos and through the written word.

It was created to provide a forum for the School of Journalism’s coverage of Stony Brook University’s participation in Albany Day of 2008. Albany Day is what Stony Brook calls its annual trip to the state capital, Albany, to speak to legislators on behalf of the campus here on Long Island.

SB Now! allowed the School of Journalism to broadcast the day’s events to those who did not attend and gave the students of the School of Journalism an opportunity to put their skills to work.

Since then, SB Now! has become a place where students who cover campus news and events for classes can post their work.

Students Board Buses for Albany Day: Video

Campus shuttle busses transported students from various locations on campus to the South P parking lot where the small army of amateur lobbyists gathered.

Greeted by bagged breakfasts and gallons of coffee at makeshift food stations, students, faculty and administrators climbed onto coach buses at the break of dawn on Tuesday, March 4, to travel up to Albany to lobby legislators in favor of Stony Brook.

Arthur Shertzer, the university's parking relations officer, spent the ride calling up each of the 22 buses to get a head count. He said that there were over 900 people on the buses, and together with those driving seperately there are about 1,000 people involved, an Albany day record.
