Yes, Sara Palin is known for her caustic, crude references about those with whom she disagrees, but her recent tirade on FOX was such a strong slap in many American faces that Mrs. Palin is doing herself a disservice by using such a sick and offensive tactic.

Palin dismissed liberal activists, calling them, “kooks.”

Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Sara’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Palin’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.

Rush Limbaugh:
"Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. ... I mean these people, these liberal activists, are kooks."

"Should Rush Limbaugh apologize," Wallace asked.

Palin responded, "They are kooks so I agree with Rush Limbaugh."

I have used Palin's own words to show her hypocrisy. I guess she doesn't realize (not suprising) that "kook" is a degrading term for the mentally challenged.
