"Ann Coulter Defends 'Retard' Tweet, Says 'Screw Them' To Critics"
(snip)
When (Alan Colmes) said that some people believe the word "retard" is as much a slur as the "n-word," Coulter dismissed her critics as the "word police."
“Oh, screw them,” she said. “That’s what they feel I do? I feel they’re being authoritarian bullying victims.”

"Authoritarian bullying victims"? Wow. An oxymoron (emphasis on moron) if ever I heard one.

1. Keeps people talking about her, doesn't it?

She epitomizes the old saw about 'any publicity is good publicity.' If not for her incredibly misanthropic statements, she would have been relegated to the dustbin of wingnut history long ago.

6. Exactly. Ignore her, don't post about her, and she'll disappear. n/t

2. Has Sarah Palin weighed in yet?

Hmm No?? I didn't think so.

4. She's figured out that shit like this pushes a lot of buttons

There are millions of people walking around every day saying things like "retard" and "n-word". Nobody pays any attention to their dumbass tweets. They should ignore her as well.

The most interesting thing about the big names in conservatism is that they confirm the accuracy of the sterotypes of what far-right people are like. They are lying, class based, bigoted studies in psycho-pathology.
