Palin believes Limbaughs repeated use of the word retard yesterday was crude and demeaning, her spokesperson emails. In the wake of Palins demand that Rahm Emanuel be fired for saying the liberal activist strategy on health care was fking retarded, a bunch of people have been asking how shed react to Limbaughs tirade on the air yesterday.
Our political correct society is acting like some giant insults taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards, Rush said, adding that Rahms meeting yesterday with advocates for the mentally handicapped was a retard summit at the White House.
I asked Palin spokesperson Meghan Stapleton for comment on Rushs rant, and she emailed me this:
Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.
It hardly has the passion of her response to Rahm, and theres no call for him to step down. But given Rushs stature among conservatives, its pretty interesting that she went this far, denouncing his on-air rant as crude and demeaning name-calling.
