22. Where is the Outrage - why isn't she being fired??!!

Someone from MSNBC tweets an actual truth even if it was 'offensive' and they get put thru the ringer. Let's face it, we all know that right-wingers are going to send out disgusting tweets about that Cheerio commercial because god forbid *gasp* the couple in question in biracial.

Yet Ann Couter uses the R-word in such a way to show her ignorance and bully a group of people and she'll still get guest spots not just on Faux News but Bill Maher's show too.

What's up with that?

When will the RNC and Faux news insist on never working with Ann Coulter again?
