I will not call Whoopi retarded. I will say on this one issue I agree with David Icke. She is a Lizzard Woman.

Any now politically incorrect terms I can dig up from the past to use for Whoopie?

Calling “Whoopi Goldberg” retarded would be offensive to all the low-IQ people who are naturally that way and can’t help it.

I find it interesting that certain people who are so sensitive to how they are treated are so insensitive to how they treat others.

N-word. It’s OK. Just a little old-fashioned, but not offensive.

So - Whoopie doesn’t like the term ‘retard’

Sorry, Whoopie, but Libtard comes to mind when I think of you.

Oddly enough:

http://dyslexia.yale.edu/goldberg.html

She didn’t know it then, but there was a reason for her feeling as if she wasn’t grasping anything taught in the classroom. Whoopi has dyslexia, but during her early years, she didn’t have a diagnosis, only her self-given diagnosis as abnormally slow. “You don’t want to be retarded all your life,” she tells Laura Randolph of Ebony magazine in a 1991 article. “I was retarded for a good part of mine, according to all the paperwork, and I just couldn’t handle it.”

The nature of Mr. Maher’s comment has been suppressed. It is evident that it was intended as a dig at Sarah Palin (even Barbara Walters acknowledges this, and uses it to justify the attempt at “humor”).

So my guess is it was a remark such as “Of course Sarah thinks she’s smart, she spends all day raising a retard.” or “you can see with her retarded son that the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree”. Neither would justify the use.

I await Mr. Maher to clarify what he said and defend it. He is a frequent guest commentator on CNN (and has a program on Time-Warner’s sister HBO network). CNN has advertisers. Time-Warner is a big company. There is plenty to boycott as far as Mr. Maher is concerned (he’s previously boasted he has no sponsors, which is false when he appears on CNN).

The left does not even try to hide its venom now. Sooner or later that snake is going to bite itself to death, I feel.

Whew, I've been wanting to say this but I thought it might be wrong but now I feel free to say it:

Whoopie, you are a retard.

Didn’t Whoopi admit to having dozens of abortions..Hey Whoopi, if “Retarded” has lost its meaning, does the same go for the N word, because if that has lost its meaning too I would love to say it straight to your face and see how you react..something tells me she wouldnt like it

Yes, but those slurs haven't been in vogue for a coon's age.

Goldberg “reasoned” that because “retarded” used to be an acceptable term to describe persons...

So was "nigger".

Who better to give lessons on language etiquette than Ms. Whoopi, the colored lesbian comedian?
