Of course the Right want's Emanuel fired over the comment. The right want's this administration to fail. So they will take anything they can as a call to have someone fired.

So let me get this straight here...she sat right there with Fatty Limbaugh laughing it up while he called liberals retards and he said it like 5 times. As soon as she calls for his resignation, I will be able to take here seriously. For a moment. I do not understand what it is with this woman and hypocrisy. It is almost like someone wished really hard for a personification of the word and poof, we got her.

I believe Colbert said the exact same thing about Palin on his show. He better hope she's not a litigious retard because that is slander and she could sue him for his public remarks about her.

--and will burn down the country and destroy the whole concept of democracy to do so.
paybacks a bitch, but worse yet...the republicans have shown that no matter what, if the opposition party is in power, fillibuster absolutely everything no matter what.

I don't understand why they use that word to describe mentally challenged individuals. Why not use the world, "Slow", "MC" short for mentally challenged. Why not come up with a new word all together and leave retarded to describe the rest of us? I think those who get offended should come up with a new name for the condition that effects many. The reason it's used is because it does offend or it's a bad word just like the "N" word. No one would use them when expressing anger if they were nice words.

Doh! How dare you! You used a word in a derrogatory way! Bitch is what I have probably sleeping comfortably on the floor in front of my couch at this moment while I'm at work. My female beagle probably would not appreciate that the term that has been used to describe the females of her species for so long is being used in such a manner.
THEY ARE WORDS PEOPLE. This country is supposed to be based on some set in stone beliefs. Freedom of speech was one if I'm not mistaken. Retarded, retard (etc.) is a medical term. People, being people, twist it into bad things. Just like with the term 'gay'. Used to mean happy and so on. Now it's a 'bad' word. Now there are commercials out slamming kids for using the term like 'that is so gay'. Of course they don't mean it in a good way but I'm sick of the bs.
As another poster said. People need to thicken their skins up a bit and stop the bleeding heart movement about WORDS!
