Ann Coulter is under fire from a fellow conservative on Tuesday after calling President Obama a "retard."
On Monday night during the final presidential debate, Coulter used the long-considered derogatory term for mentally handicapped individuals. She tweeted that she thought Mitt Romney was handling the debate well, apparently by not engaging Obama too aggressively.
"What a stupid, shallow thing to say, Ann," fellow conservative pundit Michelle Malkin tweeted in response early on Tuesday.
"She sure doesn’t speak for us," the staff of Malkin's social media site Twitchy wrote in an article headlined "Groan: Ann Coulter calls President Obama a 'retard.' "
The site also noted that it may be the first time Malkin has agreed with some of the pro-Obama celebrities also criticizing Coulter's comment on Twitter, such as CBS's "Partners" actress Sophia Bush, NBC's "Up all night" star Christina Applegate, singer Michelle Branch and actress/deaf advocate Marlee Matlin.
Malkin and Bush were already engaged in a heated Twitter debate over their policy differences, but Malkin noted that she agreed with Bush that Coulter went too far in her tweet.

Good for MM!
Coulter got her name in a headline and people are talking about her. I assure you she’s perfectly happy.
President Obama: I Bowl Like a Retard

She should’ve used “special”, “exceptional”, “challenged”.
Ugh. Why is it offensive to some class of people to call a person a retard?
Sometimes the shoe just fits.
Coulter is the “retard” for trying to convince people that Romney is a real conservative. Truth of the matter is Romney won the primary because of his money and nothing else and is leading the Kenyan, with a good chance to be elected, because the Kenyan is a disaster as president. Any of the republicans in the primary could beat the Kenyan communist.
Bill Maher’s ex is yesterday’s news.
RULES!....
MM is not stupid
The Obama admin NOT jumping all over this means they want it to go away. They don’t want the label to stick.
MM just made it front and center, again. AND she did it for a valid reason.
Yes, it was impolite, OK sorry... But on a scale of one to ten? eh.... 2
but I like that it is going to be back in another news cycle AND in a 100% legit way
THANKS MM !!!!!
It is an insult to the intelligence of the MR population!
Word is that Ann misspoke and didn’t mean to call Obama a retard. She meant to call him a steenkin’ retard. I hope this clears up this little matter.
I’m glad A.C. has freedom to call 0 a tard and I am glad M.M. has the freedom to object.
Did I like it when the libtards REPEATEDLY said how much they hated Bush or any number of knuckleheaded things?
No, I did not like it at all and I SAID SO!
Otherwise, 0 is a retarded punk!

No its not. Libtards, even when they are smart, are guilty of compartmentalized retardation.They may be smart in some things, but they are hopelessly retarded when it comes to philosophy and economics.

You’re asking why a word used as an insult when directed towards other people is viewed as offensive?
“0 is a retaded punk”
I wish to sincerely apoligize for saying that.
What I meant to say is 0 ia a retarded punk and a lier.
BTW I am not a big fan of Coulter and I have always like Malkin.
Not for the Democrats there isn't.
