An Open Letter to Ann Coulter

The following is a guest post in the form of an open letter from Special Olympics athlete and global messenger John Franklin Stephens to Ann Coulter after this tweet during last night’s Presidential debate.
Dear Ann Coulter,
Come on Ms. Coulter, you aren’t dumb and you aren’t shallow. So why are you continually using a word like the R-word as an insult?
I’m a 30 year old man with Down syndrome who has struggled with the public’s perception that an intellectual disability means that I am dumb and shallow. I am not either of those things, but I do process information more slowly than the rest of you. In fact it has taken me all day to figure out how to respond to your use of the R-word last night.
I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.
Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.
Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.
Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are – and much, much more.
After I saw your tweet, I realized you just wanted to belittle the President by linking him to people like me. You assumed that people would understand and accept that being linked to someone like me is an insult and you assumed you could get away with it and still appear on TV.
I have to wonder if you considered other hateful words but recoiled from the backlash.
Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor.
No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much.
Come join us someday at Special Olympics. See if you can walk away with your heart unchanged.
A friend you haven’t made yet, John Franklin Stephens

Pretty much a no-win situation. Either she apologizes and turns in her testicles or she tries to ignore the ownage and come off as a coward and/or a complete idiot.
he's done
What was the tweet?
Coulter is not a serious person, her schtick is provacatuer, to be as nasty and inflammatory as she can. It's her business.
You would know because you are like her, but on the opposite side of the spectrum.
it's not my business. It's just a of a lot of fun exposing the toxic of Repugs, ALEC, 1%, VRWC, "Christians" while slapping the right-wing believers and shills here.
And she exposes the toxic of the left. Far more accurately and effectively than your BS.
I wonder how many more careers will be destroyed thanks to twitter.
is it possible to apologize in a tough guy manner?
lol toxic
No, she doesn't, mainly because neocons like her have adopted the "toxic of the left"...
Just using ShazBot's own words.
said of the last debate that "Romney was nice to the re ," or something like that
yet palin hasn't called her out?
she's a liar and slanderer, simply not serious, except to bubba s who think she is wonderful. She wrote a book, with footnotes! what an intellectual!
Obama wasn't done after he made fun of the special olympics
who's that and why should I care what she didn't say?
Of course he wasn't done a we know him, you colossal idiot. He was expected to apologize after using the Special Olympics to make fun of himself and he did so personally.
Now, you're too stupid to realize that the image Ann Coutler made for himself pretty much precludes him from apologizing for anything while maintaining that image -- so he'll either have to change that image and be contrite or ignore it at his peril. Doubling down on stupid would be his usual play -- something you do very often, Darrin -- but that could easily make things worse.
I imagine he'll squirm and try to deflect like you do when you're owned.
Obama was talking about how badly he bowls, but yeah, that was in poor taste. Doesn't quite rise to the level of calling someone a re imho.
i'm not suggesting that you should care. i haven't seen or heard palin comment about the remark.
likely cuz they're on the same team.
Ann Coluter might be a rabbid right wing man face...but I would certainly without hesitation tear that pussy up. I bet she got some great pussy underneath that ed up persona.
You know all there is to know about the crying game.

Also, gfy everyone
23hours ago"Obama: "Stage 3 Romneysia" - because cancer references are HILARIOUS. If he's "the smartest guy in the room" it must be one re ed room. "

I would think.
More than a bit of irony there.
