Palin now excuses Limbaugh's use of "retard": "He was satirical in that"

I see. IOKIYAR. Thanks for clearing that up.

Shame on you. You just compromised your love for your child to pander to a drug addled, lonely, trice divorced radio jockey because you want his approval so you can sell more books and make more cash.

PS. - Pay your tax bills!

Hey Sarah...how's that RETARD family of yours?

Har har har har...

<NOTE: The above is a satirical jab at Sarah Palin.>

Wha - Name Calling? Hello? How about helping Haiti? How about ideas on improving the economy? HELLO? Why are we wasting our time here?

David Letterman, on the other hand, was dead serious.

Ah, let's see, so it is okay to call me a kook for being liberal! Rush just dropped the F-word, but he did call people he disagreed with retards, and you called us kooks. Thank you so much, Simple Sarah for telling it like it is, even when you don't mean to, calling names is bad for liberals, but okay for you and Drugbaugh! Thanks for making that so clear! And I hope you kid never understands what a disgusting hypocrite his mommy is. It would break his heart.

Double Standard.

Sarah's ability to bend the truth is very disturbing, and I find it particularly distasteful in people who want to obtain power. Every politician does this, I realize, but her steadfastness in believing that she has some ability, given to her from above, to determine right and wrong reminds me of George Bush. They both see this world in black and white terms and think it somehow makes them look decisive and smart. If Sarah was smart then that would be a different issue, but it just isn't there and no amount of book learning is going to get her up to speed.

I actually would have found some respect for her if she would have just come out and crushed Limpy for saying the same exact thing, if not far worse, than Emanual stated. Clearly, I am expecting too much from her. Sorry for the rant.

Yes Sarah name calling is not nice......You should know it's all/part of what you do. And don't even say, "just grow up" to anyone! What a judgemental b**ch!
So, Limbaugh is a satirist now?! Good to know. Next time I hear him calling for Obama and this country to fail I'll keep that in mind. Is he being satirical when he's denegrating women and minorities? Is he being satirical when he's mocking aid to Haitians after a devastating earthquake? Does Palin even know what Satire is?????????

Oh, sure, I see ... it's OK whenever Sarah Palin thinks it is just satire.

Like, Obama sucks as a president, that n*gger ...

See, just more satire makes that OK, too...

Let me get this straight.....SP has a problem with the "r" word, however using it in a satirical context as Limpballs did is OK? SP goes on to slam anyone for name calling 10 seconds after calling a group of people "kooks"! SP addressed a group of 600 from the lunatic fringe, with herself being the de-facto leader of this group...WHY ALL the attention? They are the kooks, and they will self destruct!

Question to Palin: Who are your very favorite satirists?

Palin response after several seconds of staring at the ceiling: Oh, I'd have to say all of them.

Like calling someone who challenges him a blockhead and take the tampons out of her ears?

Brilliant satire

Wait, he called Emanuel's apology tour to the Special Olympics the "retard summit." That sure as hell wasn't satirical.

HIP-O-CRIT!

Just as some of us were saying the other day, she apparently doesn't really care about people using the "r" word, just when they're democrats, and when she wants to try and score some points.

Limbaugh uses it, in worse ways than Emmanuel by the way, and she thinks he's just being satirical? Laughable at best, tragic at worst.

She quit her job to make money, and won't denounce Limbaugh, because she wants to make money.

What a fake POS she is.

Ok, let's clear this up if we can....

COS Emmaunuel calls people retards = Palin calls for his job and completely freaks out.

Rush AGREES with what Rahm said, then goes further deeming the apology to special needs families the RETARD SUMMIT. = this is satire according to Palin so it is excused.

Then she goes on a minute long tirade about how name calling is beneath her, after two seconds before calling liberals KOOKS.

Furthermore, just months ago she went berzerk on David Letterman, a COMEDY HOST, who was actually using satire (the use of wit and sarcasm to criticize faults) claiming that he was promoting the rape of a young girl. = somehow not a joke, she promotes protests of his show on facebook.

= this is one of the most hypocritical things I've ever seen in an interview, yet it goes right past her followers and Fox viewers.

The fact that this stuff slides right past the FOX Nation is the very point that people make on this site and others everyday...that the tea party / right wing is truly living in some delusional world where the only useful skill is revisionist history. It is also a shame that the interviewers let this crap slide. This is why we are on our way to IDIOCRACY.

So in Sarah's little world its alright for me to go to all the black kids in my neighborhood and call them n*ggers as long as I'm using satire?

In that case, I hope that Sarah's retarded kid grows up and learns how she used him as a prop to bolster her popularity because he's retarded.

Nothing like a lie, a pander and wanton butchery of English all at once.

She could brush it off if Rush called all Alaskan women baggages, all Alaskan men trolls, and all Alaskan children beasts. He could call Bristol Palin a shallow, sex-driven simpleton and her mother would make an excuse. I don't know what more proof we need to say that Sarah Palin is a cold, soulless hypocrite with no positive value for the country.

Rush did call a group of people, retards though.

Limbaugh called the same group of people retards that Emanuel did. "by calling a bunch of people who are retards..." Limbaugh says. What bunch of people is he referring too? He's refering to the same liberal activists that Emanuel was referring too. So how is Limbaugh's retard insult any different than Emanuel's? It isn't.

Not only does Limbaugh use the same insult to refer to the same group, but he also says that Palin is being too politically correct in taking Emanuel to task for calling the group retards. "Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insults' taken place..." Who is the one acting like a giant insult took place? Who is the one calling for Emanuel's job for using the insult? Sarah Palin.

Not only does Sarah Palin not go after Limbaugh for using retard as an insult, she also offers no opposition to the fact that Limbaugh called her outrage being "politically correct." So what is it Sarah Palin? Are you just being politically correct as Limbaugh claims? Or are you justified in taking Emanuel to task over using retard as an insult? Why don't you let Limbaugh know how you really feel?

This is so obviously political that it would be ashamed for the mainstream media not to call Sarah Palin out on using her own child's disability to score political points. CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, where are you? She has layed her shallowness out in plain site for you to splash all over like a eighteen wheeler with no mud flaps. Just in case you needed street signs, Media Matters has clearly designated the murky areas. Do your duty.

My God, Palin's personal hypocrisy is so massive it can be viewed from space.

And yet another, hypocritial bigot bows the giant pus-pocket.

He didn't call a group of people he didn't agree with retards? Are you in denial or did you just forget to listen to your hero that day on the hate radio? Hell, he even claimed he won't apologize for what he said... if it was so satirical, why would he feel like he has to apologize?

The last pretense of the common decency that this woman pretended to have has been swept away. It is obvious that there is nothing that she can do and say that will not be excused by her followers.

Wow, first we had that Republican call Rush to apologize, then Michael Steele totally backs off his comments in concession to Limbaugh, then Eric Cantor says that his listening tour is NOT a listening tour after Limbaugh makes a fuss about it.

I have to admit, I actually thought Limbaugh was going to concede to Palin on this one. But nope, she's the one that had to back off. Rush is the leader of the GOP.

Palin now excuses Limbaugh's use of "retard": "He was satirical in that"

PC is turning America into a bunch of whining babies (no offense to any babies that may be reading this) Didn't we all learn in first grade "stix and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" Everyone of you is doing the same thing that you accuse them of it's just that you don't have 40 million listeners!
