My problem with it is that she tries to make discrimination against special needs kids her "cause." And she jumped on Obama when he made the Special
Olympics joke. So if she's joking about Trig's needs and calling him retarded, it makes her a fraud.

If I were Palin I would've put out a hit on this kid by now.

retardation based on the level of cognitive ability. It's an actual diagnostic term.
Eventually, the level of mental retardation is based largely on IQ. |

And I don't like Palin, but I also don't like Levi, so I have no particular slant either way. Just explaining it is an actual term still used in a diagnostic sense. |

I don't believe anything he says, or anything Sarah Palin says. I glanced at the article. Some people (not meaning you, specifically) are under the assumption that the word retarded isn't used anymore, and I was just saying it is. That's all. It's not that serious. |

The word retarded is used today, yeah sure. But NOT in the way Levi is saying Palin used it.
I think that's the point that others are trying to make. |

I love him. He will forever be the thorn in Palin's side and that makes me love him even more.

I can't believe people are taking him at his word just because they don't like the Palins.
The Palins have said nothing about this kid except releasing statements after he talks about them. But I can't blame him for wanting to milk this for all its worth.

Some children do have mental retardation. It's not the same as having a developmental disability. A child can be diagnosed with mental
retardation based on the level of cognitive ability. It's an actual diagnostic term.
