Her real job... selling books to morons that actually buy into what she is selling.

It really is... that simple.
Yes, just like Maddow, Matthews, Sharpton, Schultz.......
When was the last time any of those you named called Romney a retard or worse?
Peace

so ... someone who apologizes for his comment and basically calls it the lowest he's ever felt about himself is the same as someone who fails to recognize the offensiveness of her comments?0 -

Schultz acted like an ass when he said that. That said, I doubt Coulter will offer anyone anywhere such an apology.___________________________________________

I saw this on another site. Love it. What a mature, articulate and brave young man. My daughter has DS she's an incredible gift not only to me, but to this world.
The Ann Coulters of the world are looking for one thing - publicity. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as they get attention to make up for the lack of self love and self-esteem they don't have in their lives.0 -
I teach fitness classes to the developmentally disabled. I wonder if Ann has ever met anyone with a developmental disability? Her remark was offensive to me, as I picture the dear faces of those I work with. Those who tell me they're already excited about camping next year, the savant who can tell me what day of the week ANY date in any month falls, instantly; the girl with Down's who likes doing the kickboxing routines, the girl on hand canes who ALWAYS is excited about the next holiday, the woman in a wheelchair, with the use of one arm, who excitedly talks about reading, and going to bingo, or a Randy Travis concert. The class gives me way more than I give them. What has Ann ever contributed to help someone? I can't tolerate a derogatory word like this used for my friends.R.i.p. Rigoberto Alpizar.

At first I read that as "selling books to Mormons." Probably that too.
I don't carry any of her books in my business. It's a small business and I don't have a vampire section."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
