I hope she gets this, one way or another??????? He has class and showed she doesn't!

It is a thing of beauty to see a man with Down's Syndrome prove that he is far smarter than Ann Coulter could ever hope to be.

I hope she hangs her head in shame. But I won't hold my breath.

But I thought she was absolutely outraged whenever anyone said somethign that might be taken as a slur against someone with Down Syndrome or someone who is developmentally challenged! Apparently that is the case only if the person is a Democrat. As always, IOKIYAR.

Smart and absolutely more knowledgeable than this ignorant bi***

Puts Coulter to shame.

This man has more dignity and grace in his little fingernail than Coulter has in the entirety of her boorish self.

"You assumed that people would understand and accept that being linked to someone like me is an insult"

This is why using the word even to refer back to her is a problem. Most people outside of the disability community are not aware of this. Nor are they aware of the fact that it is a word that has been used in bullying incidents for a very long time. Just some info that explains further why this man wrote this letter.

Far worse than this man.

...just for starters. Her statement reminds me of Rush's obscene dramatics about Parkinson's Disease, which my mother had.

Those two are perfect symbols of what's wrong with the right.

I doubt she sleeps at night.

expressing his intelligence.

to provide equal time for this elegant Special Olympian, along with a request for a donation. The days of Cretins and Troglodytes are long past, though there remain some stragglers. Perhaps Barack and Michelle could send a White House invitation or something.

Damn, where's the Kleenex. Again. I really love being a DUer! He's a truly special young man - hope someone in the MSM picks this up, but not holding my breath!

response to hatred I've read....EVER. WoW.

Ann is but a gnat in the world of wine!

"Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor."

As beautiful as this letter is, it will mean nothing to Ms. Coulter. She revels in her evilness and hatred, has no heart and only cares about herself. Anyone with a shred of humanity would find the letter written by this wonderful young man to be heart warming, unfortunately Ms. Coulter is as evil and heartless as they come, a true sociopath.

Coulter is just an evil bitch. She won't care one bit about this letter, she'll probably mock him even more.

response. Perhaps it will touch her hardened shell of a heart.......or not.

... won't it?

I love how many people are standing up to bullying and hate speech these days. When I grew up that kind of language and behavior was just accepted and no one stood up to it. I have to wonder if people who spew nothing but hate all day everyday ever feel bad about what they do. At the very least I can't imagine being that hateful can lead to a very happy and peaceful existence.

Didn't she call John Edwards a fa##ot? Just shows the maturity level of this vile woman. Kudos to this exceptional young man, he has class and brains.

Thank you for being an inspiration to us all! I salute you!

With the Facebook share. Marking for later.

having strong family values for giving birth to babies with down syndrome and other disabilities, but they don't support the social programs that help disabled people and they are unapologetic when using derogatory language about disabled people. In fact, most of them are anti anti-bullying. Every time an anti-bullying bill is voted on they are right there defending people's right to bully other people.

Ann coulter exhibits typical repug hatred

<crickets>

with a mountain of challenges. And yet the man who has had to work and struggle in his daily life to overcome prejudice and bullying in addition to his disability is the real success story here. The Republican mindset values money and power and not the contributions people make to their fellow human beings. How sad.

Good for him!

Otherwise, this beautiful letter may have helped her realize just how dumb and shallow she is and she might have even started to find her long-lost soul.

and say that Stephens is too stupid to write his letter himself and probably had outside help.

Wouldn't put that past her.

And, she probably went off the script of what people who advise tell her she should or shouldn't say.

The President of the United States also has help. He very often delivers lines and speeches that are written for him by other people.

Ann'll brush this off with one snarky comment and press on..... and the MSM will Rush to give her air time to do so.

He's much kinder to Ann Coulter than I would be...

"Come on Ms. Coulter, you aren’t dumb and you aren’t shallow. So why are you continually using a word like the R-word as an insult?"

People who are accepted as intelligent should have a little more sense.

This was a very moving article, good blessings to you sir.

I couldn't be prouder of this man if he were my own son.

I hope that Ann reads this letter and hangs her head in shame. She has the right to state her opinions, but she often crosses the line into the very offensive and this one was of those times.

This young man may have Down Syndrome, but he is far smarter and a better person than Coulter will ever be.

She will do about anything.

Very powerful.

Powerfully said.

I can only hope she reads it

Ann Coulter is nothing but a real life version of an internet troll. The more reaction she gets, the more attention she gets. Negative or positive, she doesn't care as long as it gets her noticed.

ignorant, 'snarky' knee-jerk attacks every time.

There are over 2,000 responses to his letter. Coulter is old 'news', she is struggling to get attention the old way, the way she did long ago when her kind of dialogue was 'new'. But it grew old fast and she is now completely irrelevant even among Republicans.

But this letter shows that intelligence and patience and strength of character never grow old.

If this was a contest, he just crushed her.

Ms Coulter does not be allowed on any television or Cable Network for her very ugly and intolerant comments especially spewed at the President.

Personally I do not purchase her vile books and could care less what she says.

I have to wonder where Sarah Palin's OUTRAGE is......Remember when Rahm Emanuel called ads against moderate Dems "f***ing retarded" and Palin went all mid evil on his ass? Where oh where is her outrage????
Hypocrisy, thine is a Republican.

... And named a building after her! ....please tell me this is not true!... I would be stunned!!

The letter was amazing. It's too bad Ann's followers got to the page.

The first handful of comments I saw* were all either bashing the President, trying to excuse Ann's remark, or trying to justify Ann's remark.

Stay classy republicans. Stay classy.

*Before I got too sick to continue reading.

EDITED TO ADD:

Apparently I just picked a bad time to read the article. There are still a handful of Coulter-bots defending her, but by and large the comments are positive. Thank goodness.

first sentence. Ann Coulter is both dumb and shallow. Hate mongering and verbal cruelty are not attributes of higher order intelligence anymore than being an affected harpy is an attribute of wisdom.

I expect her to whore around to sell books to Low -Info People. I just never expected her to sink this low.

I hope she read it!

At this point, its become exhausting to be outraged at anything coming out of Coulter's mouth.

I honestly believe that woman not only doesn't care who she offends, but she gets a perverse thrill about being absolutely reviled by decent human beings.

She would have made a great pro-wrestling "heel"

She IS dumb and shallow.
