CREETON is the name of the planet she's from.

I learned you can always rely on Piers Morgan to defend the mentally deficient's monopoly on terms that offend them from falling in the wrong hands and holding them accountable.

And maybe he'll just listen in on their phone calls too just to be sure.

I dislike her and don't agree with any of her blunt, rude comments BUT the word retard has a definition and can used as such.

re·tard 1 (r-tärd)
v. re·tard·ed, re·tard·ing, re·tards
v.tr.
To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede.
v.intr.
To be delayed.
n.
1. A slowing down or hindering of progress; a delay.
2. Music A slackening of tempo.

The word does not mean stupid - it means "To move slowly" and may be used in reference to someone who responds slowly. A very intelligent person can retard the process to get a clear perspective on the situation or to stonewall.
I use retardant in my paint so it drys slower.

Even used as a derogatory term, the word at best, means one is slow. I don't agree with her using the term in the way she did and she was clearly lashing out like a child having a temper tantrum but to the meaning of the word itself, I see so issues here.

Piers needs to let this one go and move on.

STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO HER.

Stop sifting videos with her in them. Stop voting for them. Stop watching the videos on other sites. Stop writing her angry emails.

Haven't you people ever trained a dog? Negative attention is still attention. IGNORE HER.

Same goes for Piers Morgan.

Hmmm the only problem with this argument is that right underneath the section of the website you quoted there's this:

re·tard 2 (rtärd)
n. Offensive Slang
1. Used as a disparaging term for a mentally retarded person.
2. A person considered to be foolish or socially inept.

Now I'm all for free speech, even offensive free speech when it has something important or meaningful to say but this is the entirety of Anne's tweet: “I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard.”

Which to me lacks any real substance and says nothing of consequence or importance. In fact its just plain nasty and shallow.

Moving this video to blahpook's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
