21. Making fun of MS as an illness is NOT okay.

I can't stand Ann Romney either, but as a person with MS, I find your comment to be insensitive at best. I luckily don't have too many issues with the disease, but what many people don't know is that MS is an invisible disease for the most part. She may not be physically crippled RIGHT NOW, but it could happen to her (or to me) at any time. It really sucks when your nervous system goes against you.

In any event, I think she is a nasty, unlikeable person, but I won't make fun of her disease.
