Mrs. Malkin is as tough as anybody on the president, but she knows there's a line of decency. The use of this juvenile term crosses this line, not because it's mean to Obama but because of its callousness toward innocent handicapped people.

Coulter got her name in a headline and people are talking about her. I assure you she’s perfectly happy.

She should’ve used “special”, “exceptional”, “challenged”.

Ugh. Why is it offensive to some class of people to call a person a retard?

"Despite criticism, Coulter persisted in using the same word again on Tuesday. She also used the term to describe MSNBC host Chris Matthews last August, and in September criticized Obama for going after "the retarded vote."Sometimes the shoe just fits.

Coulter is the “retard” for trying to convince people that Romney is a real conservative. Truth of the matter is Romney won the primary because of his money and nothing else and is leading the Kenyan, with a good chance to be elected, because the Kenyan is a disaster as president. Any of the republicans in the primary could beat the Kenyan communist.

MM is not stupid
The Obama admin NOT jumping all over this means they want it to go away. They don’t want the label to stick.
MM just made it front and center, again. AND she did it for a valid reason.
Yes, it was impolite, OK sorry... But on a scale of one to ten? eh.... 2
but I like that it is going to be back in another news cycle AND in a 100% legit way
THANKS MM !!!!!

It is an insult to the intelligence of the MR population!

Word is that Ann misspoke and didn’t mean to call Obama a retard. She meant to call him a steenkin’ retard. I hope this clears up this little matter.

I’m glad A.C. has freedom to call 0 a tard and I am glad M.M. has the freedom to object.
Did I like it when the libtards REPEATEDLY said how much they hated Bush or any number of knuckleheaded things?
No, I did not like it at all and I SAID SO!
Otherwise, 0 is a retarded punk!

I'm sorry to even retweet that ignorant comment by Ms. Coulter. I don't care who you are. The "R" word is so absolutely disgusting. Michelle Branch (@michellebranch) October 23, 2012
No its not. Libtards, even when they are smart, are guilty of compartmentalized retardation.They may be smart in some things, but they are hopelessly retarded when it comes to philosophy and economics.

You’re asking why a word used as an insult when directed towards other people is viewed as offensive?

“0 is a retaded punk”
I wish to sincerely apoligize for saying that.
What I meant to say is 0 ia a retarded punk and a lier.
BTW I am not a big fan of Coulter and I have always like Malkin.
