Special-needs mom Palin: 'I agree with Limbaugh' that liberals are 'retards'
Palin, who slammed Emanuel last week for calling liberal activists "f---ing retards," declined to ask conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh to apologize for using the term "retards" on his nationally syndicated show, saying Limbaugh used the word as satire.

"I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people who he did not agree with f---ing retards and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, it's been reported, did say that. There's a big difference there," said Palin, whose youngest son Trig has Down Syndrome.

Palin made the comment after Wallace asked her about this Limbaugh quote: "Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. ... I mean these people, these liberal activists, are kooks."

"Should Rush Limbaugh apologize," Wallace asked.

Palin responded, "They are kooks so I agree with Rush Limbaugh."

2. She's a clear and present danger to our nation.
She is the most self-centered politician of our era, and that's saying something. Snake oil is what she sells, and the dittoheads are buying it.

6. She's hopelessly unintelligent...
Like anyone who lowers themselves to using the words "gay" or "retard" as the punchline for some joke or as a generic term derogation.

7. Using "retards" is bad, but using "kooks" is okay.

She's mentally ill and in need of help.

8. meh, her selective use of insults means little to me.
There are so many more things I can call her that would be, in fact, true.

But alas I will stick with my usual insult regarding her inability to reason or use critical thought.

She is a fool. And sadly, enjoys playing it.
