When can you use the word “retard”? You can use it when you’re being satirical. For instance, it’s not okay for Rahm Emanuel to say that liberal activists are “fucking retarded” in a private meeting because 1. that’s mean and 2. he’s a Democrat. But it is okay for Rush Limbaugh to describe a meeting between Emanuel and advocates for the developmentally disabled as โ€œa retard summit at the White House,” and to use the word “retard” forty times on his show because, um… I’ll let Sarah Palin explain it

“[Limbaugh] was using satire… I didnโ€™t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with โ€˜f-ing retardsโ€™ and we did know that Rahm Emanuel has been reported, did say that. there is a big difference there.”

So… it’s okay to call someone a retard if you’re making fun of them, if you’re being satirical, but it’s not okay to call someone a retard if you simply disagree with that person. Now the allowable use of “retard” could get complicated, of course, if you’re using “retard” satirically to mock someone with whom you disagree. Better to play it safe and stick to leotarded.

ALSO: Rahm apologizes…

In addition to being a nationally syndicated sex advice columnist, the author of several books, and the host of the Savage Lovecast, Savage is “a deviant of the highest order” (Daily Caller)....

  1. One most certainly is allowed liberal use of the word retard when referring to Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin or anyone who actually gives a crap what they have to say.

  2. For my next birthday, I would like a dictionary written entirely by Sarah Palin.

    She has got the most gosh darned delightful definition of “satire” since Lynndie England threw Allah’s Pants Off Dance Off 2005 for all those bored terrorists she was taking care of at Gitmo. If she hadn’t made sure they got their Jesus-given right to drop trou and dry hump each other at gunpoint they might have gotten really, REALLY bored!

    That’s when your secret prisoners of war start writing nasty letters to the Reader’s Digest. And that, my friends, is headache and a half.

  3. Palin’s got her nose way too far up Limbag’s ass-crack. Feel sorry for her little boy; he got it from his mommy, and now he has to live with her.
