Example of Gimp Card being played:
I am deformed. Therefore you can NOT mock my WORDS or anything else about me!

...Mocking a disabled person for their disability has been universally passe since at least the 1950s, and so some of his supporters have been out on twitter over the last couple of days offering various defenses for Trump's behavior on this video. It is important to note that Trump himself has (as far as I know) offered only this by way of "explanation" for his actions:
Defense 1. Trump didn't know Koveleski was disabled...
So, to believe that Trump had no idea what Koveleski looked like or the particulars of his disability, you would have to believe a) that the entire written record of their numerous interactions is fabricated, and Koveleski in particular (the very person on whose word Trump is staking his 9/11 claims) is flat out lying b) that he said "the poor guy" when referring to Koveleski because... well, I have no idea what the "because" is even supposed to be on that one and c) Trump was able to pull off an imitation of Koveleski's specific physical deformity purely by chance...
2. "The Media" mocked Trig Palin for having Down's Syndrome, so they are fair game.
...if Tom Brokaw insulted Dick Cheney, that would not give Rick Santorum free license to punch Jake Tapper in the face. That's more or less exactly the defense that is being raised by Trump supporters, though.
3. No one is above mockery...
The problem comes when people are mocked, not for the things they've done, but for the physical conditions over which they have no control...
Trump has demonstrated time and time again that he simply is not suited for the office either by temperament or by judgment...

Not just sue:
No sir!
No one has EVER mentioned my hand in ANY disparaging way.
Thanks for adding another word to my vocabulary.
And I thank you, dear sir, for helping me to add yet ANOTHER word to my limited range of them that I use to express myself.
One CAN teach an old dog new tricks; now it is up to the pooch to see if he can actually perform them.
I will now dip less and less into the Department of Redundancy Department’s list of duplicities and excess.
No you obviously know nothing of those presidents. Jackson had no problem ridiculing people, and judging from your screen name, he would have ridiculed ol Ron, too.
This is the same AJ who beat the crap out of a would be assassin in person, who threatened in person to hang a sitting US senator.
Course, I bet your property doesn't have a fence, does it?
These people have turned the incident into something it wasn’t, yet they have nothing to say about the President comparing his actions in some athletic activity as
“like it was Special Olympics”.
(Progressive scu&bags will always be Progressive scu&bags.)

Wendy Davis Surrogate Mocks Paraplegic Greg Abbott: ‘He Just Rolls Around’
“And then we have this guy [Greg Abbott} who just kinda rolls around thinking that he can get tort reform for himself but take it away from everybody else in the state of Texas.â€
Duke is referring to an ad released by the Davis campaign earlier this month that backfired on the abortion extremist in a spectacular way for its use of the ominous visual of an empty wheelchair. The ad claimed that Abbott is hypocritical on the issue of tort reform.
...After the wheelchair ad backfired on the flailing Democrat (who’s down by double digits), Davis claimed Abbott opposes interracial marriage. Abbott has been in an interracial marriage for decades...
I’ve advocated getting rid of cable and televisions for years. It defunds the left, reduces their influence, and sets and example. Broadband now provides so much that giving up cable isn’t a sacrifice.
I believe this to be the case also...with help from a sister paper.
Notice the other reporter on the byline of the Sept 18th 2001 Washington Post article that Trump was quoting from has remained silent.
There is no doubt Fredrick Kunkle is a married straight white man with all his fingers and toes.
Ambiguity is a beast, and sometimes a yuk .... I thought your "AJ" was an "Associate Justice", which reduced me to "Whaaaaaaa..? Breyer is out there pounding guys out?!" LOL
I got it eventually, but I had to climb the thread and see the previous posts.
Yeah, they did, during the Anointment of the Communist Jihadi Impostor.
Don't remember the liberal digs at McCain's gait and deportment during his debates with Wonder Boy? The talking heads on PBS etc. were doing that, under the rubric of commenting on McCain's "presence". "He just looks ooollllldd!" </off Millennial whine>
I was being sarcastic in my comment. That was why I posted the odd posture photo that was widely circulated by laughing libs.
Sorry. Didn’t think anyone else would pay attention this far down the thread. I once wrote that if AJ had had a war protester like Cindy Sheehan he would have arrested her, and Teddy Roosevelt would have bent her over his knee and spanked her.
The reporter works for the NY Times.....he deserves blasting
It is possible to think the NYTimes reporter a lefty sleazebag using his disability for political points when convenient and at the same time call out Trump for his ridiculous portrayal and then later claim he never met the guy.
These aren’t mutually exclusive positions folks.
Who is Eric?
