I am wondering how Ann Coulter is feeling about how she contributed to Obama’s win after these senseless and demeaning posts. I don’t think she understands how public twitter actually is and can easily show one’s inside voice. Read the response from John Franklin Stephens who has shown a great level of thought and prose in his open letter. I
