Not the first time and it certainly won’t be the last. Years ago Al Gore referred to Virginia Republicans as the extra chromosome set.

“...far left progressives “retarded” because of their stances.”
Seems they left out the preceding adjective.

Pretty amazing considering Rahm’s adopted sister is handicapped:

These guys have Sarah on the brain. She is right up there with Rush as the nemesis of the leftwing criminals.

Rush points out that Rahmbo actually apologized to retarded people for comparing them to Democrats.

I don't like this PC bs anymore when it's pulled on democrats than I do when it's pulled on conservatives. Just add 'retarded' to the list of words we're not allowed to use anymore lest someone, somewhere might get offended.

I think it's retarded.

From the article: “Who knew Shriver, whose family founded the Special Olympics, was the official apology accepter for all of those with disabilities.”

Exactly!

The FIRST person he should have apologized to would be Sarah Palin, because SHE’S the one who brought his offensive remarks to light.

And people who are able enough to be in special Olympics are not the most affected by this condition anyway. But I guess it’s the “Kennedy” part that the elites feel they need to defer to.

Nothing will come of it. Apology accepted. Dropped by media in two minutes. This guy is protected from criticism and will not get the same treatment that any Republican would get for saying less.
Macaca.

Oh geez. NOW we can't say RETARD! pleassssse. Stop bending down to the alter of PC. Can't say Negro, can't say Retard. Let the Leftys upchuck over PC freedom of Speech, we should allow speech and at the same time allow someone to react to it.

I think for the Right to agree that you can't say the word retard, is in fact retarded.

Whats next, prohibit the word sick or slow or sluggish or anything that upsets anyone. Well the Freedom of Speech ain't there to protect happy feel good language. Its there to protect language that provokes, that is disrespect-full, like to the king or even to the almighty obambi.
