Palin Blasts Emanuel for Calling Dem Idea 'Retarded'

Face it.

If someone on the right called any of the many retarded ideas from the socialist left "retarded", the socialists would be up in arms (not that they believe anyone should have weapons to defend themselves from the socialists, but that's a different bit of socialist hypocrisy) of the "insensivity" of the speaker and they'd lambaste the poor speaker out of public office.

So **** the liberals if they're upset that Palin, who has a retarded child, speaks out against some flaming libtard who used the word "retarded".

If you friggin' liberals don't like getting caught doing it, quit being the damn Grammar and Idea PC Police attacking everyone else.

Your hypocrisy stinks, just like your ideas.

You know what stinks, the fact that you could use "libtard" in a post complaining about the use of "retarded".

My uncle is retarded, so Sarah Palin and I share a background.

But for you to complain about liberals and call them "libtards" and then say it's awful for a liberal to use "retarded".

"Retarded" is less insulting than "retard". So "libtard", as a variation of "retard" is more insulting than "retarded", which actually means "slow".

So, next time you want to act offended, why not try NOT using terms that are equally as offensive as the ones you are complaining about.
 
and back in alaska......ms. palin cheats on her taxes. of course, it's not HER responsibility to declare a HOME she built.

Records: Palin hasn't paid tax for cabins - Politics- msnbc.com


:doh omgz ............. um, personal responsibilty much, Sarah?



The article seems to indicate that she broke the law, despite what her attorney is saying:

"Dunivan, however, said owners are required by state law to report any omissions or errors in their tax assessments. "

but it's not her fault, it's the damned media!
 
My local news just this evening had a story about a 'borderline mentally retarded' man who was a danger in the community.

I actually have no problem with using the term correctly, and I'm one of those who opposes getting rid of it as an official term. To me that's backing down from all the childish jerks who use it wrong, like many on this thread.

Emanuel used it correctly. The word has more than one meaning. It has several.

Your article was about expunging the word from all medical and legal references. I think that's extreme and somewhat sillly.
 
I think women obsessed with power become more frigid. Men obsessed with power instinctively seek to spread their seed with multiple partners in their position as an alpha male.
oh come on. i think women with power scare men.

Only the angry feminists ones....You know, the ones that feel it is their right to shove that power in your face at every possible moment, power trip. BTW, men can do that too.

You know, every so often, I really enjoy your posts, even when I don't agree with you much.
 
This entire issue is "retarded"! Yeah, I said it. RE-TARD-ED!!!

Emanuel wasn't talking about special needs children when he made that comment. He was talking about the absurdity of the situation at the moment; BIG difference. He could have used the words "silly" or "stupid" and NO ONE would have thought he was talking down to people with learning disorders. So, why get all bent out of shape over this? IT'S RETARDED!

Palin's 15-minutes of fan has lasted way too long. Time this chick went back under that rock in Alaska where she came from. (Hot momma; but no real common sense, IMO.)
 
Retarded is a so called college educated mid forties female allowing herself to become pregnant with the severe odds of having a child with chomosomal defect. There is your retard.

Of course he was.

The only reason it's an insult is because of special needs children. To call someone retarded means "you're just like a mentally retarded person."

Oh, **** you.

Report me if you want.

Why shouldn't have a baby if she wants one? That is her right.

Would you have the State insisting that this be made illegal, or that all pregnant women over the age of 40 abort their babies?

The Left has long held this fascination with Eugenics and aborting babies. Are you a left winger yourself?

I think your mother would be offended if she read this.

Why don't you educate yourself. Compare the odds of having a baby with chromosomal damage at age 45 vs 20. Was it worth it?

Yes. Totally over the line dude. Leave the kidlets out of it.

Where did I mention abortion? Get your spin out of it.

Not for abortion but giving a baby the best chance of a healthy birth.
Yes it is her right to do smoke and drink to the ride to the maternity floor am just saying it is retarded..................
There.

Why don't you stop changing the subject. This is about the use of the word, if you want to argue that Palin's little baby shouldn't be here that's fine. But it'll reflect poorly on you.

All Palin did was use a play from the Democratic play book, a taste of thier own medicine.
 
He just might be on to something......:)
