Ann Coulter's Tweet Gets Bad Reviews

After Monday night's Presidential Debate, Ann Coulter tweeted this statement: "I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard." This statment recieved many negative comments from other well-known people. "@AnnCoulter You disgust me," tweeted Sophia Bush. "That man is the president of this country. (& I'm sure all of the disabled children in America appreciate you.)" Comedian Patton Oswalt also responded, posting, "Ann Coulter died of prostate cancer in 2002. Her Twitter account's a sentient emu skeleton with a swatch of eyelid skin stretched over it." He later added: "If Ann Coulter's calling the President a 'retard' it means he won/is going to win. She's our un-pettable Punxsutawney Phil." Holly Robinson Peete also spoke up, writing: "As a mom of a son with autism the words Retard or retarded are like nails on a chalkboard. A lot of people say it benignly esp. kids...So when a grown woman deliberately uses it publicly over and over you just have to wonder if there is a chip missing ya know?" In addition to these, there were many other different comments. Clearly, Ann's tweet has drawn many different types of reviews, ranging from the political to the "moral".
