Coulter calls Obama 'RETARD'

[Kulindahr]

has anyone here called Romney a retard? I've heard- spineless, flip flopper, etch-a-sketch, elitist, snob, liar, incompetent, fool, idiot....the difference- none of those words are offensive to a specific group of people- like the n word, the f word- 'retard' should be called the r- word.

Of course this example of objective thinking will be derided by the usual suspects.

I used to work with the mentally handicapped, teaching them to swim.

While a swim instructor I had two "borderline" mentally handicapped, not considered "bad" enough to be put in special classes. If someone had used the word "retard" in their presence, he would have found himself trying to breath concrete, because I would have slammed him into the pool, and the director, on learning why I did that, would have had him summarily slammed face-first into the parking lot.

Anyone using the word except in a very impersonal way not directed at anyone deserves to be bitch-slapped, and if directed at a person, bitch-slapped the length of I-90 in January.

Yep, this is the classiness I expected.

Palin was upset because her baby was called a "retard".

Please make sure the next time you see your mother to call her a c*** since you like the word so much.

Well since my mother died of cancer in 2003, I'm not likely to be seeing her any time soon.

But she wasn't Ann Coulter.

And she wasn't a cunt.

And she hated the use of the word 'Retard' to brand the developmentally challenged.

And I suspect that when it came to Andy Coulter, she would have agreed with my assessment.

As for your mother? Please give her my best.

Suh-nap!

The entire republican defense is based on the premise that the POTUS is just another guy to fling mud at and the false equivalency of "you guys do it too". Well guess what - we don't.

I don't need derogatory language to point out Romney's inadequacy. Or some jubbers'...

 

[Jack Springer]

Gotcha! It's ok to call a poor defenseless baby a retard but not a grown man who should know better.

Obama has called Romney a liar on multiple occasions -- when it was Obama doing the lying -- are you insulted over that too?

Obama is just another guy -- he's insulted the office of the Presidency by running such a nasty campaign. His attitude during the 3 debates will cost him the election.

 

[Jack Springer]

How could we forget our dear president making fun of the special needs people.

Spin spin spin.


The moment you legitimize this debased level of political discourse, you've legitimized the end of political discourse. Not that YOU have ever been interested in discourse...

Honest discourse. Not some kind of weird love with a politician.

 

[Sammie13]

Truly surprised at the Repub posters on here who have not shown the class to call out Ann on this. Geez, how far is Romney up your ass? My Repub friends here in the heart of Dixie have been lighting up twitter about how classless she is...some of them Bible thumpers LOL. And you guys are comparing it to the word 'idiot'. In fact, one CPA right-wing friend of mine said she should be caged with D. Trump as the two most disgusting Repubs on earth. You JUBsters are honestly more partisan than the US congress.

 

[Rolyo85]

It's funny how that works eh? Kinda how GOProud is one of the most homophobic parts of the GOP. In the same way right wing jabbers seem to operate on the singleminded concept of never giving any ground and always supporting indiscriminately anything that comes from the right.

Defense mechanism?

 

[rareboy]

^ At worst, it is this indiscriminate tribal support of right wing ideologies and ideologues that has allowed tyrants to come to to power and fascism to flourish under a variety of guises, including Stalinism and Maoism.

Can anyone explain why Ann Coulter gets attention?

 

[Rolyo85]

I hope she chokes on her words. Honestly, I'm not one to wish physical harm on anyone but this woman is a blight. A tumor that should not be let to spread...

 

[Kulindahr]

the Obama video above won't play...if he did say something like that- I wouldn't defend him, it's awful and cruel- and I hope he apologizes- if he hasn't already...Coulter will never apologize...there's a difference, Democrats can accept our poeople aren't infallible and sometimes are idiots...Republicans think there people piss perfume and walk on water.

It's truly ironic that so many Republicans are 'evangelicals', who purportedly have a dedication to truth, but when it comes to their candidates don't care if they lie worse than the Devil.

Can anyone explain why Ann Coulter gets attention?

She's an incredibly well educated woman who obviously doesn't believe half the shit she says. I find her hilarious because every time she says something grossly inappropriate it snaps up headlines. And what has she accomplished, exactly? Just amusing. But I am an outsider looking in on American politics. Perhaps I would have a different opinion if I knew Coulter's opinions effected my electorate.

 

[Rolyo85]

And now for some racism:

 

[bw92116]

The world is full of millions of nutcases saying grossly inappropriate things... just look at the comment sections after most news articles... so why would Ann Coulter be singled out in particular, to have her nutty and nasty remarks be picked up and broadcast... why her out of millions of raving lunatics to choose from...

 

[chance1]

ann coulter is no one

she sells books

the flailing here is priceless

she has no position of authority on anything

and the only air she gets is the air u give her

and the hand wringing here is numbingly dumb

then there's people like joe biden who says offensive things

and it appears the president made a stupid remark above - i had forgotten - thanks Jack

elected officials

highest in the land

there's a difference

a big diff

Because she just like many other pundits are called upon sometimes to offer their opinion from a conservative perspective. Similarly she has a Radio talk show like Rush's. Both will say anything to get attention and then republicans come to their defense as you can see in here many offer properly that what she said was vulgar and uncalled for from anyone... yet there are still but a few that can justify the stupid attention whore.

That is why she gets attention.

If that's the case, why did you start a thread complaining about a journalist (Chris Matthews) being rude to a kid? Is that not far, far, far less serious than a journalist fomenting hatred on millions of Americans because she does not like their DNA?

And why did you start another thread insisting that a journalist's (Bob Woodward's) word is
better than the president's? Is he not also just out to "sell books"?

Aren't these people also nobodies? Aren't they also just out to sell attention to themselves? Why is Ann Coulter "no one" but Chris Matthews and Bob Woodward important people who deserve our attention and condemnation/respect?

R u serious ?

Chris Matthews is a hired REGULAR on msnbc who not only does an hour M-F but also is allowed to cover news events like debates, primary and general elections

He's on the msnbc payroll

Bob Woodward is a respected journalist

Ann Coulter is an independent contractor

Ask bill maher of the $1 million donation to the pres why he has her on

Your equivalence is random

 

[T-Rexx]

^ I don't get it.

Ann Coulter is not regularly featured on television? She is not a spokesperson for the right because she does not have her own show?

Of course she is an idiot. So is Rush Limbaugh. But do you guys only listen to Limbaugh and ignore Coulter because Limbaugh has a regular show and Coulter does not?

If Coulter does not speak for you people, who is that buying up all her books?
