Ann Coulter directs slur at Obama after debate

Conservative political pundit Ann Coulter called President Obama a "retard" after his debate Monday night with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

In a Twitter post moments after the 90-minute event in Boca Raton, Fla., Miss Coulter said, "I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard."

Her action has spurred outrage on Twitter and elsewhere. Fellow conservative commentator Michelle Malkin tweeted that Miss Coulter's comment was "stupid," and the conservative-leaning website Twitchy called it a "thoughtless, barrel-scraping insult."

Miss Coulter's controversial post remained active on her Twitter account as of late Tuesday morning.

1. I detest that "woman"

[Jackpine Radical]

2. I despise that "person."

It's her inhumanity, not her sexual orientation, that bothers me the most.

[libodem]

13. Does she have a sexual orientation?

She seems disoriented to me.

[Jackpine Radical]

19. Beats me. And I don't actually care.

(S)he could be anywhere on the map as far as that goes, & I'd still despise whatever (s)he is.

[Flashmann]

6. Me too

There is a word...A horribly filthy word,which perfectly descibes this creature.....4 letters with "u-n" in the middle...

[JesterCS]

21. She's not human

Ann Coulter Says Something Articulate And Meaningful Calls Obama A 'Retard'


(Image via Johnny Louis/WENN.)

Ann Coulter, the conservative crusader against anything slightly left of center in the political spectrum, has reached a new low by calling Barack Obama a "retard."

...


Charming as usual.

Rather than weigh in on the issues covered during the debate in any intellectual capacity, Ann would rather resort to a childish insult and a deplorable slur.

If this was a cry for attention, she got it.

Unfortunately for her, polls show the President easily won that debate with viewers, so she kinda looks like a, well, fill in the blank.

4. How quickly they forget their outrage

Remember Palin?

[TwilightGardener]

5. What a weird thing to say. Did she really want to call him

something else, but chose "retard" as a random substitute?

[libodem]

12. Yes

Freakin' yes.

[grammiepammie]

7. Ann Coulter

Absolutely unbelievable. I have complete distain for this woman. She is becoming nothing but an embarrassment. She was gone way over the top.

[MightyAfrodite]

8. Seriously ...

cannot stand Raggedy Ann.

[rocktivity]

9. Be kind and gentle to retards? Okay, I'll give it a try

"Down, girl! DOWN!!!"

[Scootaloo]

10. Wow.

You know you've hit rock bottom when Michelle Malkin calls what you said "stupid" and has pretty much everyone agreeing with her on that

[libodem]

11. What?

I can't believe she was too polite to just use the n-word. She must have picked the next most apparently offensive word to some folks here.
Suppose she couldn't use the c-word in a correct context or she might have used that.
She is truely a mean and nefarious creature.
(You know what I'm saying in code)

[libinnyandia]

14. Since Chris Christie didn't win the GOP nomination and Obama is going to win she's

expressing her feelings :0) I don't think anyone witha functioning brain takes her seriously.

[City Lights]

15. She needs psychiatric help.

She has some major issues that need resolving.

[oswaldactedalone]

16. She will burning deeply in hell

down there with Hitler, Stalin, Limpballs, Hannity, and most current day Rethuglicans.

[bullwinkle428]

17. This, on the heels of her plan for "Disown your son day" in response to

"National coming out day"?

[KansDem]

18. I envy Ann!

Think about it: You act like you never left junior high, yet you get paid a handsome salary with all the perks and benefits!

Let me try it!
*ahem*
Hey, Dreamboat!
(Ann turns head to see who called out)
Not you, Shipwreck!

Okay, where's my seven-digit salary with all the perks and benefits!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

20. Controversy is in her...

job description.

[Ganja Ninja]

22. Twittering on Meth is hard. n/t

[tanyev]

23. Oh boy, is Sarah Palin going to give her a giant smackdown!

Not.

[K8-EEE]

24. I know right??

Remember her pout-rage over Rahm Emannuel who reportedly used the term in a closed meeting?

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0210/Palin_goes_after_Emanuel_on_retarded_slur.html

[CakeGrrl]

25. And for the umpteenth time, Rahm was not referring to a person or people.

Maybe now the distinction will come clear for some. (Not implying the poster to whom I replied).

The upside? The Coulter POS is one of theirs.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

26. That's it then. She's off my Christmas card list. nt

[Zoeisright]

27. That disgusting bitch showed her true colors there.

She is a complete waste of oxygen and water, and a completely repulsive, ignorant worm.

[David Zephyr]

28. I absolutely loathe that term: the "r" word. Your title upset me, but...

you OP is relevant and newsworthy. It's just the "r" word that is so monstrous, I don't even like to see it here even when it's in quotes.

Still, you correctly spotlight this vile and bigoted woman who takes joy in crushing people who are disadvantaged in life.

[ohiosmith]

29. This post was alerted on. The jury voted 5/1 to let it stand.

At Tue Oct 23, 2012, 12:08 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

"I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard." Ann Coulter 10-22-12
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021615272

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

The word "retard" is beyond the pale and terribly wounding to children and adults and familes. It has no place at the DU. It's not a funny term.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Oct 23, 2012, 12:15 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: it's not a DUer using the term. perhaps the alerter could request that the word be edited, but it's enlightening to know how low republicans sink when they're losing.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I say leave it. Let anyone who sees this see for themselves this miserable creature beg to be noticed. She never was relevant anyway.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm not sure if there is a less offensive way of posting a quote from one of the most offensive people on the planet. However I vote to leave the post as is. As offensive as she is.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This is a discussion of Ann Coulter, and quoting her does not express approval of her words.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Where in the OP is there any inference that retard is "a funny term"? Leave it.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

30. Man with Downs Syndrome responds to Coulter

"I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.

Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.

Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.

Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are – and much, much more."

http://specialolympicsblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/an-open-letter-to-ann-coulter/


If Ms Coulter had any sensitivity at all, she should be deeply ashamed. But I'm sure she's not.

[Liberal_in_LA]

36. great reply

[ivanincali00]

31. She is a digusting human being!

She always the stupidest things! It's probably just to get attention, so more idiots can by her shitty books!

[Matariki]

32. Who's Ann Coulter?

And who cares what some random idiot on twitter says?

[redStateBlueHeart]

33. Ann Coulter is somewhere on my top 5 list

of people the world would be a better place without. Also included: Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Sean Hannity...I can cross out Breitbart's name now...

Unfortunately for Ann, the black man is gonna be in the white house for another four years. Deal with it, lady.

[Raine]

34. Shame on her, I really thought that would be too low for even her to go. nt

[Amonester]

35. Ann Coulter is just a very bad punk.

Looking for a fight each passing minute.

Pathetic.
