The reporter was full of praise & admire Obama very very much. He sort of gave Obama an A+

Colin Powell endorses Obama.
Are you happy ?

Sorry. Retard is not generally acceptable as an insult. But I guess if someone like Coulter uses it to insult Obama, partisan Republicans will be taking it up as the new mantra. I can hardly wait for FOX to defend and promote the use of the term.

EXACTLY. I think that is the point everyone is missing. Retard is not and has not been politically correct in sometime. It is offensive to mentally challenged people in the same way fag or nigger, etc.

Not the same as calling him a moron or idiot or dumbass...she could have chosen many other words to say Obama was stupid. That's the whole point. I'm not criticizing her criticism of the prez at all. I've heard him called much worst. I don't care. He's a big boy. He can deal. For that matter, so can Romney. But, a thought leader in this country, and I nearly want to vomit to call Colter that, but she is a key opinion leader, should not use careless language.

What about Obama calling Romney a bullshitter? and a liar?

Obama lied about the GM bankruptcy .. there was a real bankruptcy of GM forced by Obama.

Obama lied about Benghazi and continues to lie about it.

Frankly, I'm turned off when politicians use this type of language -- especially the President of the United States. His office demands respect from himself.

When did Obama ever say that GM did not go through a real bankruptcy? That never happened, Jack, you're just making stuff up.

By the way, Romney is a bullshitter and liar.

Calling Obama an idiot is fine. Calling him a retard is not. Frankly, I would prefer that people in public life making pronouncements intended to be consumed by the general public would conduct themselves with a little bit of decorum. Therefore, if I were a public figure, I would refrain from calling someone an idiot publicly in all circumstances except those where the label obviously and unquestionably applies (i.e. Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock). We all say things in private conversation we would not say if making a speech to a large audience.

Publicity whores like Coulter think the entire world is their bedroom, so they always talk like they're in private.

Self-quote time! Get out of trying to find "but your side does it too!" arguments, man up and admit that the woman did something unacceptable. We won't think you're any less fanatic and spiteful of Obama, I promise!

What really pisses me off is the thought process of right wingers (not just here, but ESPECIALLY here):

1. Give no ground.
2. Find ANY semblance of equivalency.
3. Grab onto that and never let go.

I am sorry, but there are MANY levels to impoliteness, and some of them are more ok than others. And I am absolutely sure that my side has fallen as low and lower than this vile creature, but that doesn't change the fact that she is LOW. This is damn near the absolute bottom of verbal human interaction, and whether the left has used those terms (recently or in the past) should not matter to anyone, on any side.

It is wrong, pure and simple. It is disgusting, offensive, hurtful (and not to Obama, but to any mentally handicapped person who would read it) and it adds to an atmosphere of intolerance and disrespect in a sphere where it's already so hard to reach compromise and work together with such opposing views.

Do not seek false equivalencies. When something new appear, draw our attention to it. I promise I'd be just as repulsed (or ok, maybe slightly less, but still enough) by a left winger using that word, or another with the same hurtful intensity.

How can any decent human being with any empathy and kindness in their heart come on a public board and say "Good for Ann. Tell it like it is!"?!

I've heard from people who worked with her when she was a lawyer that she wore short skirts and no underwear. Anyone coming into her office would get a glimpse of her twat.

I doubt they'd be able to see it, since her schlong was in the way.

My exception would be both Biden and Obama. The reason their stands on infanticide when an abortion fails and failure to do anything about the economy but make it worse.

I saw the Obama video from the Tonight Show last night where he again said GM didn't file bankruptcy -- bold faced lie.

I just watched it twice. He said no such thing.

Why do you think you'll get away with making crap up?

 

[Kulindahr]

The terms Idiot, Moron and Imbecile were actually scientific terms used to describe IQ's of developmentally disabled people in the 60's. These terms were superceded by Mildly, Moderately and Profoundly Retarded. Now these terms, thought to be more PC, are verboten and the original terms are generally acceptable as insults.

"Idiot" was actually in use as a term for people of low talent, skill, and/or intelligence before it was scientific, though never widespread. Interestingly, in its Greek use, the term often was the opposite of "citizen", referring to someone selfish enough to have no serious/intelligent interest in public affairs -- by that measure, we have a vast sea of idiots in the United States.

It's hard to tell from that if Obama used the term directly of Romney or referred to kids being able to tell -- but I agree, I want to hear him say it; it isn't the sort of word easily imagined coming from his often too-professorial mouth.

Watch it again.

 

[Kulindahr]

Watch it again.

Done.

I also read the transcript.

Now, answer my question: Why do you think you'll get away with making crap up?

You are seeking a double standard. OK to call Romney names, but not Obama.

 

[bankside]

You are seeking a double standard. OK to call Romney names, but not Obama.

Are you seeking a standard where both sides can feel free to level base insults at each other? You seem to think so.

Do your own googling next time. It's easy.

I don't think you'll see this on MSM ... it's AWKWARD.

 

[Rolyo85]

So Jack, you'll keep trying to find any desperate sort of equivalency instead of just denouncing the evil bitch? Very classy of you. Very dignified.

 

[Jack Springer]

Just pointing out that what I said was true after I was called a liar.

It didn't go unnoticed by me that calling a person a liar is the same thing that Obama is using to close-out his campaign.

It's not Presidential to call an opponent a bullshitter -- I doubt that plain spoken HST even used that type of language to describe his opponents. Although, he was pretty rough.

No one suggested you were lying about Obama calling Romney a bullshitter (which he is). We accused you of lying about Obama saying GM didn't go into bankruptcy.

 

[Rolyo85]

So never mind Obama. What do you think on the actual topic which is Ann Coulter's blatant disregard for any propriety?
