The Rude Pundit didn't just pull that word out of the air to describe Palin.

He's pointing out her hypocrisy in attacking Rahm Emmanuel, but defending Rush Limbaugh for using the very same word.

Palin Defends Limbaugh's Use of "Retard" on Fox News Sunday

But the former governor went to great and sometimes awkward lengths to insist that when conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh used the same exact term to describe the same exact group, it was simply in the role of political humorist.

"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh," she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups "retards." "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there."

According to Sarah Palin, the Rude Pundit's description of her as a "fucking retard" would be OK because he's a political humorist.

But, it's NOT. It's a slur.

Do you see his point, and how effectively he made it?
