Related: About this forumMan with Downs responds to Ann Coulter
I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.
Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.
Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.
Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are and much, much more.

(6,096 posts)cry also....Why can't people learn to get along in this world.
What amazes me, is the people that cause the most trouble are the ones that "live by the good
word of the Lord". They are the ones that seem to want to fight the wars....take my neighbors for instance. I think they go to church about 3 times a week and twice on Sunday. Good little baptists...don't drink..or smoke...or do anything fun...
But all they can watch on tv is FAUX news and they got their Romney and 3 other signs in their yard, oh, yes, one is for Aiken of Missouri. educationed..wife is a teacher....and yet....they don't get it...
When anyone has chlldren and grandchildren I don't see HOW they can believe Romney and Ryan and all their followers are right....
God Bless this young man for standing his ground and speaking his mind. It would be an honor to know him!

(31,533 posts)That seems to be one of their favorite fall back excuses. It's that damned liberal media again, reporting what she actually said.

(478 posts)People like Coulter make me ashamed to be an American and a member of the human race. If her kind ever get there way 100% look out folks because it will not be pretty

That probably makes no sense in Ann Coulter's universe. Well said, John Franklin Stephens.

(5,436 posts)Coultergeist will say "It was just a joke! Can't you lamos take a JOKE???"
That is the SOP of all the repigs - haters to a tee. "I was only JOKING!"
Their deep & unrelenting hatred comes from their unending fear of African-Americans, and how America now (somewhat) treats blacks equally. It translates into a bitter hatred for America, which all repigs share.

(4,711 posts)I've never really "gotten" Republican humor. It always seems to boil down to "Hey, look at that DIFFERENT guy. He's all different with his differentness. He's sure not like us! Haw haw haw!!!"

(26,449 posts)Personally, I have absolutely no desire to meet, let alone make friends with Ann of the shallows, but this man signed the letter "A friend you haven't made yet"
He is indeed a better person than I.
Jester Messiah
(4,711 posts)On the strength of this letter, I have to believe it. I've got nothing but contempt for Coulter, wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire. This guy... yeah, like I said. A better man than I.

(10,672 posts)He is a spokesman for Special Olympics. He participates in Special Olympics as a golfer, skier and swimmer.He teaches a three year old Sunday School class. Last weekend he gave an acceptance speech for an award his mother received from her alma mater. She is suffering from ALS and can no longer speak. Ann Coulter will never ever achieve as much as my nephew has. She is pure evil.

Ann Coulter is a horrible person.

(16,399 posts)Too bad a vile creature like Coulter doesn't give a shit. Hopefully she OD's on coke finally. Hell, a 60 year old woman on that much blow should be dead by now.

(57,936 posts)Why do people pay so much attention to her when there are so many wonderful, warm, loving and beautiful women?
Think of Michelle Obama. She lives her love for her husband and her children and her mother. And you can see what a vibrant, good person she is.
Meanwhile, Ann Coulter is just spewing hate at everyone. Why is she on TV or mentioned on DU? She has no talent, no personality, and she isn't pretty or even good looking. Why does she get so much attention?

She's Mitt Romney, with a dick.
