Ann Coulter is a special kind of breed of insulting carbon based unit. And, when I read more than just the insulting types of words she uses, I have to hope there is some form of disconnect from her brain to her mouth causing such stuff to come forth involuntarily.
Aside from that, I get weary of the childish name calling especially during political season and particularly by politicians and others with influential opinions. I dont care if it is calling Obama as Owe-bama or Romney as suffering from Romensia. Grown, educated people should have a better use of language than to revert to schoolyard taunting tactics.
I get especially concerned as to how the use of such childishness reflects how they view the mentality of the voters. If one says their opponent has no concept of the basic priciples of accounting it says, to me, voters have a grasp of money issues, and the logistics of balancing a budget.
On the other hand, if one feels it is appropriate to say my opponent is a <insertderogatorytermhere>, it is insulting to the intelligence of the voters, and renders them on par with petulant children resorting to the limited verbal skills as per their level of development.
And, it really irks me when voters start picking up and using the insults without being aware it was meant to insult their intelligence. That is freakin bizarre to me.
Kind of amazes me how we can be so technologically advanced, and still stuck in the dark ages when it come to basic human relations.
