I’m fine with it.
That’s what the word means.

Schummer is a moron. Oops, not supposed to use antiquated terms like ‘moron’.

[Mr. Rabbit]

As much as I despise Schumer, the word “retarded” is just fine. It’s what sane people used to call retarded people. Now, calling them “retards” or “tards” isn’t very nice... I reserve those terms for democraps. :)

Retarded is a clinical term and should not be verboten. The only thing that changed for the establishment was that the wrong people (you) use it sarcastically.

[ronniesgal]

retarded means slow. If he had said “slow kids” would there be a to-do?

[The_Media_never_lie]

Schumer is retarded; the children are special.

[o-n-money]

Schumer should take a trip to the zoo.

[CtBigPat]

I thought we already had a congregate living place for retarded children. It’s called Congress.

[Sirius Lee]

I never call mentally handicapped kids retards. Just leftists.

“Retarded” is a perfectly fine word, but apparently no longer politically correct. In French, where I imagine the word comes from, ‘en retard’ means ‘late’. It’s as if the left truly believes that changing the word takes some of the sting out of reality and they seem to do it all the time. In my town, the ‘Alternative School’ changed its name to ‘The Academy’. Doesn’t fool anyone or really change anything.

I have No Problem with the words he used, bu McConnelland every other Republican Senator should be beating down the door to File ETHICS COMPLAINTS for his Discriminatory and Racist Language.

[PROCON]

That’s the term I use.

[TigersEye]

Not a problem. It’s OK for the mentally handicapped to use the word.

I don’t call them retarded, I call them retards. I was a discipline problem, and wound up on the short bus. I got no sympathy or patience for retards.

Moron. Imbecile. Idiot.

They all have historical meanings. But in colloquial terms, They all fit Schumer.

I worked for the AHRC in the 60’s, I guess they felt “R” was too sensitive.
