In a tweet after the debate Monday night, Ann Coulter referred to President Obama as a “retard.”
No, what did shock me was seeing how many people had favorited Coulter’s tweet. Almost 1500, last time I looked. (As Matt Chambers notes, it was retweeted over 3,500 times as well, but a great many of those had appalled reactions attached.) And on Facebook, Twitter, and in comboxes, I’ve seen people dig in and defend their use of the words “retard” and “retarded” (especially the latter), or shrug off the “big deal” others are making.
Well, it is a big deal, and it’s worth a conversation. Human decency always is.
