Ann Coulter Calls MSNBC Host 'Retarded'

Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks, MSNBC contributor) lifts his 'ban' on discussing Ann Coulter after she personally attacks him on Twitter because of his MSNBC interview of gay Republican Chris Barron (GOProud spokesman).

I recently interviewed Chris Barron of GOProud, a gay conservative organization that believes that the Republican Party is welcoming of gay Americans. The issue was that some prominent conservative organizations were boycotting the largest conservative conference in the country because they allowed GOProud to attend. Seems very welcoming.

The interview was heated (you can see it here). I think it is absurd to vote Republican if you're gay. The party ran their whole campaign against gay Americans in 2004 and 2006 -- and bragged about it. The GOP just overwhelmingly voted against repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell. And there are only a million other examples of how Republicans are against every gay rights issue. Of course a gay person can be conservative on economic issues or on foreign policy, but to say you're going to vote for a party that hates you is beyond irrational.

Well, apparently Ann Coulter doesn't agree. She watched the interview, then tweeted: http://twitter.com/AnnCoulter/status/...

Though I'm flattered that Ann thought it was a great video, there seems to be another issue here. Coulter called me a "retarded person." Now, I am not the least bit bothered by that. In fact, I am greatly amused at Coulter challenging anyone else's intelligence or cognitive abilities. But I do know someone who should be steaming mad about this -- Sarah Palin.

I thought Sarah Palin had banned the R-word. Palin called for Rahm Emaunel to be fired when he used that word and added:

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.

Does that mean Sarah Palin also thinks Ann Coulter should be fired? Does Ann Coulter have a job she can be fired from? What does Ann Coulter do with her life? Come to think of it, what does Sarah Palin do? More importantly, how will these ladies settle this?

Does Sarah Palin think that the word is less "unacceptable" or "heartbreaking" when a Republican uses it? Or is she just as outraged by Coulter as she was by Emanuel? I mean, Sarah Palin wouldn't be enough of hypocrite to attack a Democrat over the word but not a Republican, right? I look forward to her response.

Thanks. I believe that a lot of people think the way that we do. I fear that we're reaching a tipping point, however, and our country may end-up some bankrupt third-world socialist state. For there are just too many simple-minded, easily indoctrinated Obamabots out there.

[Alex Jones]

i agree with you

[wilsecoyt]

Thanks Cenk, for all you are doing in favor of the gay people, but still you can not buy the basic right gay people have, to choice with political party they want to vote for or belong to.

I am sure that a lot of democrat are not fully satisfied with their government, but still they support it. The gay community don't have to pay you with political loyalty.

give him a nipple twister than a wedgie.

By what means, email?

[pneshati]

Fair and balanced.

[LCCharlie]

You shouldn't talk about Michelle Obama that way; it ain't nice, son.
