I've used The Onion News before and was shocked at how many posters thought it was legitimate....but then again those same folks believe everything they hear on FOX News too and/or think Rush Limbaugh is a genius.

You do realize this is not the onion, but a left-wing blog?

Their violent rhetoric knows no bounds, I'm glad advertisers are taking notice and pulling their ads.

The libbies must be taking orders from NYT's Paul Krugman who recently Called For An End To Civility because his boy Obama keeps getting killed in the polls.

Or links from MSNBC, which are just as invalid.

For those who pretend not to know, Wonkette is a popular left-leaning political gossip blog.

Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.)

This morning, Team Sarah posted a happy-birthday message at the exact time of his birth. This is a poem "Lynda" wrote for Trig: [poem cut]

What's he dreaming about? Nothing. He's retarded.
In other lefty retarded news, their gay-icon-tolerance-heroine Lady Gaga recently said "it's retarded" that she's called a Madonna knock-off.

Because in actuality she's a one-of-a-kind original, right? Mmm hmm.

And so the hypocrisy of politically correct liberalism continues to be exposed.

In the industry, we now refer to
them as "Developmentally Disabled."
Group home residents are now
referred to as "Consumers."

As is her usual style, Sarah keeps it classy in the face of liberal hate speech.

@SarahPalinUSA: Big thanks from the Palin family to folks on Twitter today who took a stand for children w/special needs. Happy Easter!Thank you #TrigsCrew

Seems like they were reporting factual information. Saying someone who is retarded, is retarded, isn't "mocking", merely the truth.
