Good or bad publicity, Ann Coulter feeds off it all ! 

Ann coulter tweeted some very controversial posts after the most recent Presidential debate that has irked people from across the country and a bunch of angry backlash from people on the micro-blogging site.   

The twitter slur was posted Monday evening on her official Twitter account, the post read : (@AnnCoulter) "I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard".

Surely we know by now that she deliberately says things to draw attention and nothing works better than making offensive remark to the president, since any offensive remark is just more publicity. 

Social media provides the perfect stage to do just that. 

As of now, many are speaking out against Coulter's tweet and one observer to the controversy posted: "Guys. Ann Coulter is trolling you. Always. Outrage gives her strength. The only thing that will kill her? Complete & utter indifference," @PaprbakPrincess tweeted.

Congress banned the use of the words "retard" and "retardation" in 2010 in federal health, education and labor laws in favor of using the words "intellectual disability." The American Psychiatric Association also plans to replace the term "mental retardation" with "intellectual development disorder" in the fifth version of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, to be published by in 2013.

Coincidentally, Coulter,50, is also promoting a brand-new book, Mugged.

What do you think of Ann Coulter's remark? could it be just one of her usual publicity stunt or a 'genuine' aim to belilttle President Obama?
