It’s on. A little.
I asked Palin spokesperson Meghan Stapleton for comment on Rush’s rant, and she emailed me this:
“Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”
It hardly has the passion of her response to Rahm, and there’s no call for him to step down. But given Rush’s stature among conservatives, it’s pretty interesting that she went this far, denouncing his on-air rant as “crude and demeaning name-calling.”
His “on-air rant” was just an extended goof at Emanuel’s expense for describing lefty activists as “retarded,” but having chosen to pick this fight, I guess Sarahcuda can’t make exceptions for humor. This is the second prominent conservative her team has had to chastise in two days: An advisor to Rick Perry, whom she’s supporting, was upbraided in similar terms yesterday for using the word “retarded” on a conference call (it’s now become a minor issue in the Texas Republican primary).

She wrote one FB post and nothing more. Its the media and wh and druggie rush that are milking it.
I went to school at MSU. Originally, from Anaconda.
Gee, should I get upset and throw a public hissy fit because you want to pass legistlation allowing you to kick the teeth out of a woman that disagrees with you, or should I just allow you your free speech, while ignoring your whiny outburst and furthering your inevitable social ostracization?
Hmm, decisions, decisions...
Good post. I like your style.
You're now a bonifide idiot, can I see your green card?
Here's a clue to you Mr. Clueless, don't use Babble Fish as your translator...........
Rush needs to stop with the RETARDED schtick. He IS a public figure, and just using it the way he does just isn’t right.
I’m from Chicago but lived in Bozeman for 12 yrs then moved to Paradise Valley 5 yrs ago. I took a couple courses at MSU and still go to the gym there periodically for “noon ball”. I’m going tomorrow, actually! I just love it here.
Its going to be supreme enjoyment to use the mormonism is a weird cult card to destroy mitt romney and all of his hind-tit nursing supporters, including karl rove, fox news, george w. bush, dick cheney et al as they continue to smirk and denigrate Palin.
Enough already.
Frikkin retards.
She's never correct about anything.
” Palin Camp Fires Back at Washington Post..”
“...as the Governor has said, it doesn’t matter who says the “r” word: it should no longer be part of our lexicon.”
I disagree.
It’s a perfectly acceptable term if used appropriately.
Retard as a verb is used often in medicine.
To describe the efficacy of different agents in slowing the growth of tumors.
In agriculture, it’s used to describe how different products inhibit disease.
I’m sure there are many other areas where retard ( as a verb )
is routinely used
and this is taking on the tone of a witch hunt on words.
I wish I had said that!...but I also wish I was recovering. LOL!
There's no love lost here, and Rahm's insults are indefensible by anyone (other than his brother who is some kind of ghoul).
Does this mean I can’t say libtard and celebutard any more? I partiularly like celebutard. Someone retarded (held back) by his own celebrity and narcissism.
Liberals DON’T ACT. If your impression was that they were fundamentally morally defective, you would be correct.
Rahm is never an hypocrite ~ he’s simply scum ~ eternal ~ unchanging ~ a veritable god of scum.
From that point on I have had to deal with Democrats like they are trying to kill me ~ which they are.
Democracy was fun while we had it. Now we have a state of war. Thank goodness Democrats are so elementally thuggish and stupid.
Rush used Rahm’s words and actions to show the Hypocrisy of the Left, just like Ann Coulter does.
There is nothing “selective” in attacking Rahm who started to whole thing and used the term in a deragatory manner against his audience vs Rush showing how the Left operates on a daily basis. They are above everyone, including the Mentally Disabled. The Left has no compassion, just ridicule.
