I don't care who says it, Limbaugh or Emmanuel or Colbert or whoever; the word "retard" is hate speech against the developmentally disabled.

We don't go around saying "nigger" or "hymie". So why is it suddenly OK to throw around the word "retard."

Even in the worst of the Bush nightmare, he was never called a "retard."

No, it is NOT ok to call someone a "retard"; not even Sarah Palin. It is hate speech against the developmentally disabled, and it is not acceptable for ANYONE to use.
