Politico is reporting that Microsoft accidentally delved into the world of partisan politics over the weekend after tweeting out a message insulting conservative author and syndicated columnist Ann Coulter.
In response to liberal economist Robert Reichs tweet that he would be visiting his granddaughter and sitting on a panel with Coulter over the weekend, the tech giants official Twitter feed reportedly responded: @RBReich your granddaughters level of discourse and policy > those of Ann Coulter.
Here is a purported image of the tweet: (see link)
The tweet was deleted immediately, according to Politico, and was accidentally written by one of the individuals who manages the companys Twitter account.
[The] tweet obviously is not an official statement by the company, Microsoft stated in a press release.

RIGHT.... He is about eye level to her butt.....
So MS-NBC is the Microsoft ownership of the most rabid leftwing news network in America.... Okay, even as an MCSE I would abandon MS for any other OS on a computer thanks to their Investment in MSNBC.
Accidentally? Probably not. Much of the IT-biz most highly placed technocrats are rabid jihadist fellow travellers, occupy members and general communist West-haters.
Don’t read Coulter anymore.
OK, I admit it, I'm probably one of the few on here that doesn't use Twitter, so would you please translate for me. Thanks.
You must be diogenes. I’ve been looking for you. Seems like you’ve been hiding in the weeds.
It’s not a tweek translation, but one of algebra.
Anyways, I don’t use twitter either... and the point, i believe, behind the post is apropos: It’s so obscure... this is news today?
If angle brackets had case, I’d have to ask if the author meant little-angle-bracket or BIG-angle-bracket.
Robert Reich mated?
Coulter has always been for the inventor Romney-care to replace the inventor of Obama-care..
Her Bull-Shit Meter must be broken... or is watching to many Cartoons..
Myth is surely Wiley E. Coyote in this election...
Coulter would like to think she is Jessica Rabbit but she’s NOT...
Pretty funny. I am sure Ann will be highly insulted. She is always so polite and though full in her comments. She would not think of insulting anyone.
Most commercial twitter clients allow you to switch between accounts. He probably meant to post it to his personal account instead of his corporate account. Like the Chrysler guy, he’s probably fired.
Why should he (or she) equivocate, if it’s not what he (or she) believes? “Greater than” is a stronger statement than “equal to or greater than”. (I’m just debating algebra; not the relative merits of Ann Coulter.)
Microsoft hasn’t had a stake in MSNBC in years.
Posted from my iPhone, by the way.
Thanks C210N (I think) :-). I swear I’m a college graduate and still don’t understand what the anti message is, but that’s ok, I’ll just use my imagination.
They're BIG libs though. Bill Gates' "charity" is a huge supporter of Planned Parenthood International, the UN Population Fund and other causes. A quick search of donor records shows about one million dollars donated to the DNC & Dem congressional committees by Microsoft employees and under $190K to Republicans across the 2008-2012 election cycles. More than eight in ten employee dollars is going to Dems.
If she is not relevant, why are you posting?
