It’s a hurtful word to people with Down Syndrome and their families. It doesn’t need to be used. There are plenty of other words. Some words can hurt.

Maybe I need to take a chill pill, & I know you are right.
But @ 1st reading, it seemed to me like it was more Arkansas-bashing, w/ the MSM taking a negative view of the state that I love being a “red” state.

"our political correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards."
He also didn't say this. For one thing, he would never have said, "political correct."
What he said was, "They [the Drive-by Media] thought I was coming to his [Rahm Emanuel's] defense yesterday when I said, "What's wrong with calling a bunch of retards a bunch of retards?" And the retards he's talking about are the liberal activists."
The really great thing, though, is that the Drive-by Media and folks like Dykes have such a tenuous grasp on reality that it doesn't take much to make them look absolutely foolish and they don't realize it.

I think Michael Scott of The Office said it best: “You don’t call retarded people retards. It’s bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded.”

We had Rahm on the ropes, and now the story is all Limbaugh. He knows they take his words out of context. Thats all they do. Dumb move. They always take his words out of context. Either that or just make up lies about him. What is he supposed to do? Keep silent?

Just because someone used the R-word doesn’t mean they’re bashing R-kansaw. ;o)

It simply proves Rush’s point that IT IS WHO IS SPEAKING and not what is said.
Hypocrisy and double-standards abound and these retards are re-inforcing the retarded feigned outrage.

The idiots think they’re going to drive a wedge between these two conservatives, but Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are smarter than any twenty Liberals.

*Limbaugh was using Rahms words to bash the left because the media would never do it. Imagine the media reaction if a GOP Presidents Chief of Staff had done it.*
Al Haig got run out of town simply for asserting calm control after a POTUS had been shot.

Idiot, moron, stupid, ignoramus, intellectually challenged.

love EL Rushbo, but he always seems to take it one step too far.
We had Rahm on the ropes, and now the story is all Limbaugh. He knows they take his words out of context. Thats all they do.
Dumb move.

Yep.
That fried chicken/black history stunt is stupid too.
He chooses weird fights as of late.

But if a person or idea is retarded, why not call it that?
Political correctness sucks.

I just think of it as consideration for others.
To: GeronL
Actually, I haeard Rush and his use of the R word bothered me. Mentally disabled people are offended by the word. I’m not advocating a PC world, but I have higher expectations of Rush.
