Using that word to describe folks with limited abilities is no longer considered polite.

using it to describe a person who is not mentally challanged is very low class.

But Coulter never used the term in the context of either of your hypothetical scenarios, she used it to describe someone who exhibits cognative disability.

I got myself in a little trouble here a while back over my use of the same term. Used to be there were seven words you couldn't say. That list seems to have expanded in recent years.

Speaking of which. Here is her letter to Emanuel when he used the term in the same context. Mr Emanuel apologized. Seems Coulter does not have the same decency.

I expect Ms Palin to chime in any time now against Ms Coulter.


Quote:
"Are You Capable of Decency, Rahm Emanuel?"

I would ask the president to show decency in this process by eliminating one member of that inner circle, Mr. Rahm Emanuel, and not allow Rahm’s continued indecent tactics to cloud efforts. Yes, Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm’s recent sick and offensive tactic.

The Obama Administration’s Chief of Staff scolded participants, calling them, “F---ing retarded,” according to several participants, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities — and the people who love them — is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.

A patriot in North Andover, Massachusetts, notified me of Rahm’s “retarded” slam. I join this gentleman, who is the father of a beautiful child born with Down Syndrome, in asking why the Special Olympics, National Down Syndrome Society and other groups condemning Rahm’s degrading scolding have been completely ignored by the White House. No comment from his boss, the president?

Really? That guy gives me the creeps. He has an obsession with this site that seems at the very least to boarder on a pathological disorder.

Next time, he's really going to fake us out and wear a fake beard and moustache when he posts...

Since we all know who Mr. Williams is, perhaps we can find out who is this Coulture he's talking about?

What's interesting about he spelling of "coulture" . . . it's been consistently used by former member chillcut, occasionally by MTUPower.

Coulter's vicious, ugly language gets worse as time goes by, and serves to egg on her devotees to become meaner as well.
That personal attacks are all she's got left is pretty good evidence that she's desperate.
Billy Boob is typical of the kind of hateful, bigoted, ignorant low life who sucks up her every word.
It's OK for me to say that now, right? It's not an insult towards a forum member.

Perhaps one day (may be this was it) she will cross the line. I have heard that most inmates do not take kindly to people who hurt children or the elderly. Perhaps this time Coulter will be seen for what she is. A coward. A bitter, mean coward.

Has Ann Coulter committed some offence that would expose her to the "most inmates" you've "heard" about?
