Ann Coulter Calls DNC Speaker ‘an Angry Muslim With a Thick Accent
Ann Coulter Faces Backlash for Calling DNC Speaker Khizr Khan ‘an Angry Muslim With a Thick Accent’
Ann Coulter caused an outcry on Thursday, July 28, after she tweeted an insulting message about Khizr Khan, the father of Muslim U.S. war hero Captain Humayun Khan, as he spoke at the Democratic National Convention.
“Hillary Clinton was right when she called my son the best of America,” Khan said, attacking Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America. Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims. He disrespects other minorities, women, judges and even his own party leadership. Donald Trump loves to build walls and ban us from this country.”
Coulter took Khan’s speech as a cue to add her two cents to the conversation. The controversial 54-year-old commentator didn’t waste any time composing a series of tweets insulting Hillary Clinton, Khan and Muslims as Khan continued his moving speech about his son, who died while saving 10 of his fellow soldiers in Iraq in 2004.
"You know what this convention really needed?” she wrote Thursday night in the middle of Khan’s speech. “An angry Muslim with a thick accent like Fareed Zacaria.”
The man Coulter was attempting to reference is respected Indian-American journalist Fareed Zakaria (Coulter misspelled his name), who holds positions at CNN, The Washington Post and The Atlantic.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Ann Coulter Calls DNC Speaker ‘an Angry Muslim With a Thick Accent
Isn't 'tweeting' a great innovation that has been injected into campaign politics? You can immediately shoot off your initial reaction to something you saw or heard somebody else say so the entire world will know your feelings. You don't have to put much thought into what you say, and a purely emotional, knee jerk reaction is quite acceptable. It's kind of like making a porno with your lover. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but you didn't anticipate the fact that it may go viral for everyone to see, and, due to our digital world, it will be out there forever in cyber land for all to see much to our embarrassment.
Unfortunately, this method of immediate 'communication' without forethought has become the preferred method of debating issues. When all 'tweeting' really is, in this case in particular, is just shooting off insults aimed at disparaging others and making yourself feel like some sort of 'expert' big shot when the author is really only a small minded blowhard who is in need of demonstrating their own self importance.

She has had several books make it to the NYT Best Seller list, so someone is listing to her hate speech.
