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.
