It was okay for Rush Linbaugh to call Democrats Retards.....

It was not okay for Emanuel to call Democrats fucking retards...


Where is Palin's logic here?

Ohh, okay.... I see if Rush makes a stupid comment... the only possible explanation is that it was okay because its parody. If Emanuel makes a stupid comment the only possible explanation is that he is a racist fuck.

what does racism have to do with calling someone 'fucking retarded'?

Good point, what do you call discrimination against retarded people?>

That would depend entirely what type of discrimination it was. Calling somebody else retarded is not "discrimination," it's just insulting.

"Retard" isn't a racist term. And I heard Rush yesterday; he said out-right that it was a parody. That's what he does. :palm:
 
Rush will often use the exact term they use in parody. Seriously, it may be a type of parody that you don't like, but it is parody. Much like his fight against Soccer was parody.

Id agree with that, I used the term wrong. Its insulting to retarded people.
 
So if Emanuel comes out and says that he was using parody also, that would make what he said okay?

Who was he parodying? Rush was clearly parodying Emanuel... Seriously, Jarod... a little more thought. First the "Palin is a hypocrite because she makes fun of policy when saying personal attacks are bad," now this?
 
THIS IS SO FUNNY! View entire clip to see the part about Rush and Emmanuel.

Why do you have to be so deliberately inane? Rush deliberately uses the word to describe the same person/people who used it or are defending the person who did, that is parody whether you want it to be or not.
 
Top makes a big deal about education but there's a lot to said for simple common sense. Partisan politics does take common sense away from a lot of folks though.
