Sarah Palin, the former Republican Vice Presidential Nominee in 2008 & former half-term Governor of the Great State of Alaska, has a son born with Down syndrome and takes offense to the use of the word "retard". Do you think this is right?

Several years ago Ms. Palin became embroiled in a controversy over the use of 'retard' when Rahm Emanuel (then President Obama's Chief of Staff) used the word in reference to the actions of some people in his own party throwing money away foolishly. She made a point to call Mr. Emanuel out even though the conversation in reference was private. Do you think this is right?

The next day radio personality and mouth piece of the Republican party, 'comedian' Rush Limbaugh used the word 3 separate times on his radio show. Ms. Palin defended him for several days afterward in the media. Do you think this is right?

Do you think Ms. Palin was being hypocritical when she complains about her political enemy using but not when a fellow Republican uses it?
