Posted by blood roses at 11:11am Feb 9 '10LIMBAUGH: Our political 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. They are looney tunes. And I'm not going to apologize for it, I'm just quoting Emanuel. It's in the news. I think their big news is he's out there calling Obama's number one supporters f'ing retards. So now there's going to be a meeting. There's going to be a retard summit at the White House. Much like the beer summit between Obama and Gates and that cop in Cambridge. (source)
And Palin's response:
"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." (source)
So I don't think it's even a case of her caring about slurs only when they affect her and her family. I think it's a case of using her developmentally disabled son to score political points.
What Limbaugh said: - blood roses
