ANN COULTER IN TWEET: ‘I HIGHLY APPROVE OF ROMNEY’S DECISION TO BE KIND & GENTLE TO THE RETARD’

Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter is known for her edgy proclamations and oft-times controversial take on the issues. Last night, while commenting about the final presidential debate, Coulter took to Twitter, where she seemingly used a less-than-complimentary word to describe either debate moderator Bob Schieffer or President Barack Obama — “retard.”

The pundit tweeted, ”I highly approve of Romney’s decision to be kind and gentle to the retard.” While she didn’t explicitly name the individual being targeted, based on the factors at play, one can only assume that it was either Obama or Schieffer.
As of Tuesday morning, the social media message had been re-tweeted (shared) 2,506 times and it was selected as a favorite message by 1,018 people.

I have seen no proof during the last 4 years that she is in any way incorrect about Obama's mental capacity.

I guess it really doesn't matter. Ann Coulters remark would easily fit either Obama or Schieffer

If our President can make a Special Olympics joke, there is nothing wrong with this.

So wrong on so many fronts. Simply disrepectful, insulting and crass.

736 the pres. was lambasted for said joke, and I guarantee people here giving a pass to Coulter were also in the phony outrage line when it came to the president

937-The President said it on a nationally televised late night show.


Pretty sure more folks saw that joke from Obama than have read of this. But it's ok, you think it's "phony" outrage for a President lol.

Coulter must have forgotten about the movie "Tropic Thunder"where the term "full retard" was used.That was in the news for a while and deeply offended both the special needs communities and those who care for them.They fought for years to have that word detached from individuals with special needs.To just throw it out there is very insensitive.

ugh I find her to be a crass person who deserves a lot of the criticism levelled against her.

But speaking of false hypocrisy, I wonder how many people will defend the use of the c-word when responding to Ann Coulter?

Classless and not even worthy of attention.

Haven't heard much about her lately...seems like an attempt to get back the spotlight
