“Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”

Yes, so let's limit language. Tht's a great solution! If we could just get rid of all words used to convey disrespect, then we could all live in peace and harmony! There's no downside!

A very generic response; I think hotair and mediate and others who are reporting this as a big deal are blowing smoke.

I love Sarah, but I have a real problem with the word police. Just because someone’s decided a certain word is suddenly offensive to them doesn’t mean the entire English speaking population needs to change the way they speak just to make sure no one’s ever offended. That’s a liberal game. I won’t play it.

Rahm didn't just say "retard". He turned it into an exceedingly venemous and evil pejorative by prefacing it with "F...ing".

I do believe you understand completely. Take your feigned naivete elsewhere!

Governor Palin

I have yet to understand why people continue to call out of office politicals by their prior elected office.

Then lets make it legal to beat people like you and rahm emanuel unconscious when they dare to utter words of disrespect like f*cking retard in my presence. The worst mistake Joe Wilson made was not beating rahm emanuel to a bloody pulp on the floor of the House after emanuel cursed him and demanded he apologize for his righteous “you lie” comments to our preener in chief.
