IT A REAL WORD NOT A SLUR!!!!
N word, or kike or mick, or spic, or slope. ARE SLANG!
She got those people in Texas shot.
A child is dead because of THIS RETARDED.
Medical Definition" Moderate mental retardation (IQ 35–49)."
Yes that sounds about right for her to me.
It's a real word on the IQ scale and only became a BAD Word because morons made it one.
Moron from Greek (moros), which meant "dull" That would be IQ of 51-70
Gorge W Bushes jr IQ was 80.

this has nothing to do with sarah palin. it's all about the word retard. I'm miffed that we have to have this conversation. I don't see people debating the N word, or kike or mick, or spic, or slope. why do you all give retard a pass? I'm guessing because you think they don't really count. You probably think they're sitting in a corner staring out the window kinda comatose while an aide wipes the drool off their chin. I personally get ill when I hear that word. Sick to my stomach. So go ahead, scream out any slur you want, it's a free country and who cares about showing a bunch of vulnerable people some dignity anyway? you can shove your free speech argument. when it comes to hurting people with special needs who are asking you not to use that word because they own that word, then you decide the right course. and then, there's always karma....

alabama willie - don't be so hasty to jump to erroneous conclusions either bro
everyone goes around SPINNING the topic according to their own POLITICAL bias . . . while the bigger picture sails right over their clueless heads
bashing Palin because of her heartless cruelty to animals has what to do with her taking Emanuel to task {whether it is genuine or not?!} over his thoughtless & insensitive remarks
inferring that everyone in the lower 48 is STUPID was directed at the majority of commenters here - who defended Emanuel by declaring that they saw absolutely nothing wrong with his "HIGH SCHOOL LOCKER ROOM" REMARK AND MENTALITY - BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES "use that kind of language all the time"?! well sorry, I obviously must lead a terribly sheltered life because my friends, family, colleagues & associates DON'T go around talking like a gutter snipe {and should I ever fall off the Harley - would be too busy screaming to suddenly take up cussing!}
anyway the point I was also making is that the MAJORITY of commenters -INCLUDING the "condescending" & "pot-stirring author" of this piece- have never even been to ALASKA - much less that far beyond their own back yards . . . so does that automatically make y'all feel mighty superior
we could also debate the horrendous roundup {& deaths} of WILD MUSTANGS IN NEVADA {BY helicopter UNDER SENATOR REID'S WATCH} -- and whether or not sheep & cattle ranchers should be allowed to shoot any wolves, grizzlies, & buffalo which haplessly wander onto their ranges from areas where they are federally protected . . . and the inhumanity of hunting {& baiting} bears & cougars with dogs!!
however bottom line -- whether or not anyone dislikes Sarah Palin {or her politics & policies - which btw are NOT mine} it still begs the question - should Rahm Emanuel be given a free locker room pass merely because he happens to be with the current ~in crowd~ . . . OR SHOULD EVERYONE BE "HELD EQUALLY ACCOUNTABLE" REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATIONS
ps how many democratic nominees for Washington posts were found to be tax evaders as well? seems dodgers come in all guises . . .

TO: tiger lily of DC. I am not making any excuses for Rahm's comment. Too be quite honest with you I do not like his arrogance or his mouth. I think the political arena can do without the mob-like politicians. My point is that whether the wolves are dead or not Sarah Palin endorsed the fly-by killing of these animals along with trying to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list. Her action doesn’t represent sensitivity or a kind heart. Do you think? As far as criticizing this guy for referencing retardation that's her choice, but don't come out and make these statements just because you have a child who has a disorder. Palin has shown no parental love whatsoever for her child in the public. Read her book and tell me what you think. Don't be sarcastic with me regarding giving the history of butchering animals for trophies and not meat to survive on like the native Indians. Calling folks stupid in the lower 48 only represents the heartless and insensitive attitudes of Palin's followers. How can you say God bless America when Palin and her husband want Alaska to be a separate country? Ask the folks in Alaska what they think of Palin. Oh by the way, has she paid her property taxes yet?

"How about the wolves in Alaska who are now missing limbs because of Gov Palin bounty on paying $100 for the left legs of wolves butchered. These animals are killed and maimed because of her".
uh alabama willie -- those wolves who are missing left legs are now DEAD wolves
kinda like the 100s of thousands of buffalo who were missing their hides -
the whales who are missing their blubber -
the elephants who are missing their tusks -
the polar bears who are now drowning -
AND the tigers who are are also dead and dying . . . all because of man's inhumanity, greed, & lack of foresight
yes - there are a lot of really STUPID PEOPLE in this world
unfortunately the majority seem to reside in the lower 48
{btw -- does anyone know if the NEW Alaskan Governor has halted the killing yet?!}

Sarah Palin has no policies. Sarah Palin's focus is on publicity and popularity. She has no substance. She is basically paying tutors aka advisers to educate her on current affairs. If you think Sarah Palin is good for America then be my guess and put her in the President's office. If you think Obama is bad, Sarah will be the destroyer of the free world. It's not Sarah you better worry about. You better worry about her fanatical huaband Todd. Obama's staff member didn't called anyone retarded. He said their actions were slow and retarded. He didn't say you act like a retard. This thing is being blown up because Sarah saw an opportunity to be in the spotlight. How about the wolves in Alaska who are now missing limbs because of Gov Palin bounty on paying $100 for the left legs of wolves butchered. These animals are killed and maimed because of her. Anybody supporting this woman is delusional at best. Just because you don't like Obama is no reason to follow an idiot. Both she and Todd linked themselves with the succession movement to make Alaska an independent country. The majority of voters in the US is the problem and the gridlock because they always elect the wrong people to lead. What is wrong with you people?

Sarah Palin is retarded for telling people they shouldn’t use the word “retarded.” It’s from the French word “en retard”, which simply means “slow”, and BOY is Sarah Palin slow!!! Get a sticker for yourself or a friend, or pick up a pack of stickers and give them away or post them wherever you think people would get a laugh. http://www.cafepress.com/buddhabandit .
