It's all part of Palin's permavictim program. When a Democrat (Rahm Emanuel) says it once in private (and aims it at liberals btw), it is somehow a hurtful insult to her infant son. When a Repug (Rush Limbaugh) says it four dozen times in one radio show broadcast to 20+ million listeners, it's all just playful satire and not at all insulting to her son. That's the "logic" for professional victims like Sarah; it's always all about her.Quote from bigarrow:
This issue was news to me. I didn't know that saying retard / retarded was a no no until this came up. And it damn sure was a first when I heard it called the "R" word.
