The Retarded Outrage Over Trump Calling Walz “Retarded”

When I was in public school we would get in trouble for calling someone “retarded” so we just called them a “RT”.

Being able to use retarded again means America is healing.

I remember my Mom, who was born in 1923, telling me that when she was young, "retarded" was the new, acceptable PC word for people who were previously "idiot" or "imbecilic"

[Nachoman]

So Tim Walz is “special needs”. That doesn’t make him any smarter.

[Carl Vehse]

If only Tampon Tim were retarded, we would all be better off.

Instead, Tampon Tim is a lying, perverted, murdering traitor to the United States of America.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Retarded people shouldn’t be lumped in with Tim Walz.

[No name given]

True.

[No name given]

At all.

[marron]

I never use the word “retarded” to refer to the mentally challenged. That would be unkind.

I only use it with regard to Democrat lunatics. It is sometimes the only word that fits. Theirs is the kind of retardation you have to work at, and they do.

[Telepathic Intruder]

The self-described morally superior Left likes to call traditionally used words “offensive” because their meaning is clear. Instead, they want us to use words that are vague and have no clear meaning only so that they can redefine them later according to their retarded world view. They’re retards.

[Dan Zachary]

He's not retarded, he is a "knucklehead".

Retarded is more polite than weirdo, dweeb, or the dozens of other childhood/teen insults heard in any schoolyard. It is factual; the “retard” learns less easily and retains less than the “normal”. We should teach our kids to help rather than tease them; no excuse for picking on them.

[Sunsong]

When you are explaining, you are losing, imo.

They didn't have a problem when Jon Stewart used it as his go-to insult again and again.

Trump was only looking for a way to compliment him. If Walz is not retarded, he may be an evil villain or some other bad thing.

[volare737]

I can think of an awful lot of much, much worse, and very accurate, words to define Walz than retarded!

[Vigilanteman]

Don't insult idiots!

Idiots have an IQ under 25 and simply don't know any better. Walz has an at least average IQ and willfully choses wrong.
