The term “moral retards” didn’t sit well with a lot of people.

Right-wingers are fond of using the retard variant “lib-tard” as a term of derision for left-wingers. Shortly after the 2004 election, a freeper e-mailed me and said: “Ha-ha, Bush won, blow me, lib-tard!”

Now, I ask you, honestly, how is this any different from the charges we hear daily from the radical LibTARDs? They’re exactly the same! Bush and Blair are war criminals, the war was illegal, blah blah blah facking blah.
 
If there’s one thing LibTARDs hate it’s when you accuse them of holding anti-American or unpatriotic views. What the LibTARDs need to begin asking themselves is this: If your opinions perfectly gel with those of America’s greatest enemies, isn’t this an indication that maybe, just maybe, there’s something seriously wrong with the values you hold?

Why They’re Called “Libtards”
by Bill Hennessy on September 10, 2008
The past 24 hours will serve as the most embarrassing, self-destructive period in liberalism.  These people (liberals) are not only stupid enough to keep Sarah Palin’s name in the headlines, they’re stupid enough to piss off 3/4 of the people in the country while doing it.

Sir Winston,
 
Jim is one of the best reporters this city has. Also, “libtard” is perhaps the most overused word in the far-right lexicon. It’s been used so much in such a short period of time, it’s stale. Please find a new word and actually write something interesting.

Libtard Catch Phrase Turns Six Years Old
5:23 PM on Fri May 1 2009
By Ken Layne
Just like children, catch phrases continue to age long after they quit being cute. And so it was with “Mission Accomplished,” a banal phrase on a banner strung up behind old what’s-his-name on that day, six years ago, when he dressed up like a space-pilot action figure and was flown in a little plane which landed on a big boat. We’ve all learned a lot since then, maybe.
