Be careful what you Tweet!

      After Tuesday's foreign policy debate, conservative political pundit Ann Coulter tweeted that she approved of "Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard". Not only is this word extremely disrespectful to the President of the United States, but it also offends all mentally disabled kids and adults living in America. What is most amazing about this is that it is not Miss Coulters first time using the "r" word in public text during this election.
        A special olympian with down syndrome named John Franklin wrote a letter to Ann Coulter expressing his thoughts on her use of the word. Franklin said that he wants to get people like Miss Coulter to understand that using the "r" word is an insult and he sees it as a symbol of slow, shallow, and stupid. Its sad to see how much one word can effect so many people. Yet, even after the first time, it seems as though his woman has no respect for the people that she is offending.

      What I found most astonishing is that 1,215 people favorited the tweet and 2,992 people retweeted her writing. The fact that so many people are supporting this coldhearted woman is disgusting. Many Americans just do not realize the harm in the words that come out of their mouths, or in this case, cell-phones. Although there was some support of those who were hurt by this tweet. Actress Sophia Bush tweeted: "@AnnCoulter You disgust me. That man is the president of this
country. (And I'm sure all of the disabled children in America appreciate you.) Recently is class, civil liberties has become a huge part of our daily discussions. Although freedom of speech is obviously respected in America, I feel that Ann Coulter should lose at least the title of her job for using the "r" word in public not only once, but two times.
