Exactly. I listened to Rush backpedal about this with a woman whose kid was retarded. Guess what? Your kid is mentally SLOW. Not worthless. But mentally SLOW. It may hurt to hear the word used to describe others who are similarly SLOW, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a perfectly valid word and only offensive because YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE OFFENSE. If FR and the world accept that any listener who takes offense is able to claim the speaker is somehow wrong--even in light of reality and accepted definition of the word in recent history--then we are simply accepting the application of PC to the people we don't like and not accepting it for people we do. That makes us as bad as the left. I think the whole damn thing is retarded. And I'm ashamed to have to pussyfoot around the English language ever day because our country is run by a bunch of limpwrists.
