Palin Blasts Emanuel for Calling Dem Idea 'Retarded'

Yes. But, more because she would never admit to such a mistake.



She allowed her daughter's boyfriend to sleep with her daughter while living in her house. Not exactly Mother of the Year.

She needs to be totally vetted to everybody, especially to the lemmings who blindly follow their lying leaders. If they know the truth about her then hopefully, they will never vote for her. Could you imagine what could happen to our country if she were in the whitehouse? OMFG!

Well, I imagined what would happen if Obama and Biden were in the White House and what do you know - it came true. Epic failure.

Who vetted Obama?

Oh, that's right, he speaks so well, he must be able to lead the country. You all ignored the truth and voted for him anyway. Many of us warned you that he didn't really know what he was doing.


I'd gladly take Palin over the current retards we have for President and Vice President.

Obama and Biden are great examples of over-educated, but just not very bright.

Most of the country is still happy that Obama is in the white house. Deal with it. If you want Palin... go get her. Even your neo-cons and conservatives realized early on that Palin was a big mistake. They won't let an uncontrollable idiot like her on the ticket ever again.
 
Not just "retarded", but "f***ing retarded."

Chicago politics at its finest.

What's f***king retarded? Is that when you skip the foreplay? :confused::mrgreen:

Nothing to deal with, really. Just sad that so many were taken by such obvious light weights as Obama and Biden.

Na, you're wrong - if Palin wasn't added to the ticket McCain would have done even worse - he was flailing badly.


I'm not even saying she's the best shot out there for the GOP but she's certainly better than the 2 clowns in there now. Clinton at least had the sense to realize how dumb he was - so far, no sign that Obama is wising up.
 
Thank God. I wasn't sure. The smiley should have cued me in. I'm so reta...I mean, dumb sometimes.

Nah, no worries :)

Just by using it, he insults them. Do you not see that?

You do realize I said "tardos" just to bait you right?

I guess so but I'm just rebelling against the constant PC machine monitoring every word. I would be with you more if he used it in malice specifically against the special needs. <---huh? How about that? Just for you :D

Suppose everyone used your name as an insult. "Don't be such a ****ing Texmaster." Do you see how that would be insulting to you too?

Oh wow. If I had a dime for every time I heard that I could buy Eric Holder a personality! I kid I kid.

But this isn't a name, its a condition. I guess I'm not as sensitive. (not meaning that in a derogatory way AT ALL) There are some things I am sensitive too just in life experience but to me its been in the vernacular for so long and I believe most people do not mean it as an insult to the special needs I don't see the problem.

When someone says "don't be such a Jew" when someone is stingy, does that not insult Jews?

Yes it is. The question is how far do we go to ban phrases? I'm half German but calling someone a Kraut doesn't really offend me. Again, it really comes down to a degree of sensitivity.

The only thing that really offends me is being called a Yankee outside of the US. (It really does a bit) Call me Johnny Reb :D
 
It becomes hard to feel sympathy for somebody when they put themselves in the line of fire. That Alaskan woman is like our own version of Palestinian retards.

Funny enough, Rush Limbaugh came to Emanuel's defense kind of today. He asked what was wrong with calling people who were acting retarded, RETARDS?

The word retard has roots in either the French "tard" or the Spanish "tarde". The word means "late". "Retarder" in French or "Retardar" in Spanish means to delay. Somebody who delays is a retard. And if it a Republican is doing it? He is a Republican retard. If a Democrat does it? He is a Democratic retard. What exactly are we discussing? That Palin doesn't enjoy the fact that her son is mentally delayed or in other words mentally retarded?

Well I guess if she gets her way, I no longer want to be described as being black. I would liked to be described as being a "medium brown". And my wife? A "light brown". And my daughter? A light-brown-near-dark-vanilla. But I'd much rather simply be described as a black guy and if I in a really stupid fashion? As a retard.

Already been done. You are her by an "African American." :lol:

I really hate that term.
 
Palin is just being a typical Republican and trying to play the victim card.
This idea is retarded. Or maybe just gay.

Considering it is the Democratic party that has crafted a career out of playing to the needs of perceived victims, whether it is the supposed victims of racism, sexism, bigotry, xenophobia, imperialism, disfranchised voters, economic injustice, . . .etc.
 
Palin whining about this is quite interesting considering her being the self-proclaimed conservative. Conservatives being generally ardent critics of political correctness.

The word retarded has more than one meaning. Long has. Good luck on her crusade to rewrite the dictionary. It's like homosexuals whining about the use of the word gay to describe something that is lame or to describe licentious behavior. While we're at it I suppose we should also refrain from calling Obama a niggardly bastard, too.

Did you see that lightweight embarrass the Repubs last Friday? He took their rhetoric and lies filled questions and showed them, and all of us, the truth. And I'm sure it was a delight to all Repubs to see him thinking so fast on his feet, without a teleprompter! What a breath of fresh air after that last iliterit dumbass who lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

You're letting your partisanship color your judgement. Obama is one of the most intelligent Presidents we ever had. Clinton too! I can't think of a Repub out there to challenge either in the smarts dept.

Finding lies to be a breath of fresh air tells me quite a bit about you. That "iliterit dumbass" said what he meant, and meant what he said.

What a complete load of crap. You know he didn't mean "to delay." Playing these word games only makes you look even less mature.
 
I dare him. :flames:

I'm not going to get you, because I can't. You can hide behind the internet. You can say whatever you want within forum guidelines, no matter how immature, rude, or cruel, without the consequences you would face in the real world. The internet is the domain of cowards.

Gingrich could, for sure.

Ah, so then he meant what exactly? That they were acting like these people :

Misterman, with all due respect. I could give you the address to my house and you still wouldn't get me. Seriously. Calm down and don't play internet e-thug. You do not want to.

He came off as immature and whiny, as usual.


You're missing the point regarding intelligence - it doesn't count for squat when you don't know how to get things done! So far, he's shown that he has no clue how to take an idea and see that through to execution.


Also, simply being more educated doesn't necessarily make you wiser.


I've mentioned before - the top people at successful organizations are rarely the most intelligent.


Clinton proved to be politically savvy, particularly after he had is a$$ handed to him in his first 2 years in office. I've never been particularly impressed by his supposed intelligence though.


Remember, Jimmy Carter was highly intelligent also.

You calm down, he was never playing internet e-thug.
 
National Review Online weighs in:


Is Everybody a Victim Now? [Mark Krikorian]

I think Governor Palin and Professor Arkes et al. are reading too much into Rahm Emanuel's "f***ing retarded" outburst. B]His use of "retarded" has no more connection to people with Down Syndrome and other forms of retardation than his constant use of the F word refers to the act of coitus. "Moron," imbecile," and "idiot" used to be terms used by psychology to denote different gradations of retardation, but now we just use them as epithets, and that's obviously how he was using "retarded." Emanuel is a vulgar jerk, but can't conservatives, at least, refrain from grievance-mongering and hair-trigger offense-taking? I realize pouncing on him is payback for all the stuff the Left does to us, but, really, someone has got to be a grown-up in this country, and conservatives are the only candidates left.

Is Everybody a Victim Now? - Mark Krikorian - The Corner on National Review Online


My answer: No, because the ideology of the modern right thrives on victimology and fear.
