08.14.08 TALKING POINTS FOR RETARD WRANGLERS
Slate recently discovered an 11-page action kit that from the coalition of disability groups that are protesting Tropic Thunder which offers step-by-step instructions on how to be the best humorless killjoy you can be.
The Rally for Respect action kit contains a basic checklist (designate "one person to organize efforts"; produce "flyers and posters for distribution") to help supporters achieve "coordinated and organized action" (Page 4). Group chapters are advised how to identify venues screening the film ("you can find that information by going to http://fandango.com and typing in your zip code"), and it’s suggested that mentally disabled people acting as "self advocates" be "present to meet and greet theater patrons." The words retard, idiot, imbecile, and moron are condemned as "hate speech …. on par with the N-word" (Page 3). The action kit also provides "talking points" for self-advocates ("as a person with an intellectual disability I have been affected by use of the R-word and other hate speech"; Page 5).
Basically, they want you to find a retarded person who’s just chillin out having a good time and take him to the movies with you to shame people over something he doesn’t understand. That’s the thing – there aren’t actually any retarded people in the movie. It’s Ben Stiller playing a bad actor whose last character was Hollywood’s conception of a retarded person. Never once do they ridicule an actual retarded person. And anyway, the quickest way to inspire fear and misunderstanding about a group is to make people feel like they always have to tiptoe around them. Wanna be part of society? Step 1, learn to take a joke. Now dance, retard.

TALKING POINTS FOR RETARD WRANGLERS
Retards are always happy, taken care of, and don’t have to support themfuckinselves. If you ask me, those goofy bastards are the luckiest people on earth, therefor we should have the right to make fun of those feebs.
I’d just like to point out one final time that these are the same people who endorsed The Ringer, a film that
paid Katherin Heigl to actfeatured Johnny-fucking-Knoxville pretending to be retarded.Burnsy, there was really no need for the cross-out. Both of those are travesties that should be punished.
By looking at that banner pic, it looks like Sarah Jessica Parker is now volunteering for retard work.
If anything, this brings retards back into the national spotlight, therefore raising awareness and funds to help battle the growing retard population. Perhaps Drew Carey can get on board too.
"Remember folks, help control the ‘tard population. Have your Uncle to stop fucking your Sister."
The reason they had no problem with the ringer is because they were asked about it first. They don’t actually given a shit about the mentally impaired, all they are bothered about is feeling important and feeling listened too.
P.S I can’t believe they’re claiming "idiot" is now hate speech.
Good to know that Fandango.com is the official movie website for giving movie showtimes to retards.

Made me shoot soda out of my nose onto my monitor…the person in the cube next to me now thinks I’m a retard, idiot and or moron.
The 11-page action kits were ironically put together by Korean retards.

Apparently my Dad fucking hates the shit out of me.

I once found a retard that was just chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool, and shootin’ some b-ball outside of the school. That retard changed my life and showed me how to love.
how can they say imbecile is on par with the N-word. Fuck, you’ld have to be a fuckin retard to even claim that. These retards need to pull theirs from out there asses.
Why aren’t these people protesting Beer for My Horses? Cuz I’m pretty sure that everyone in that movie…and the audience…is retarded. Oops, I shouldn’t use the word "retarded." I meant to say "really really super fucking retarded."
Taco Bell has many "special" employees I’ve noticed. One even grabbed my tray out of my hand when I was going to sit down for lunch. Then she proceeded to toss my food into the trashcan. Nice and helpful.
I saw a young Asian retard at the airport recently. That’s like a unicorn in the retard world.
The words retard, idiot, imbecile, and moron are condemned as "hate speech"…
Without those words to work with, my comments on student papers will be mostly prepositions and verbs.
The day "The words retard, idiot, imbecile, and moron are condemned as "hate speech …. on par with the N-word" in this country is the day I finally snap and start punching retards, idiots, imbeciles, and morons in the face. And I don’t mean the mentally disabled. I mean the jack-asses who have nothing better to do than complain about dumb shit.
"as a person with an intellectual disability I have been affected by use of the R-word and other hate speech"
Show me one retard who could recite this line from memory.
That Beer For My Horses reference made me think about how awesome it would have been to have it titled, Beer For My Retards. Fuckin movie would write itself.
I bet in 5 years they’ll be claiming Mentally disabled is also hate speech. Everyone will just have to be a person.
There’ll be people will be like "What’s with the dude drooling and stumbling around over there"
And we’ll just have to say. "Nothing, there is nothing wrong with him, he’s a normal every day person."
"Ok I guess we’ll go one with our day." then that stumpling drooling person will die.
If they’d of just said, "oh, he looks a little retared." then they’d be all like "gee, he don’t look too good, is he with any one? Maybe we should help him." and they would and the retard would be fine. But no, he has to die because we can’t say retarded.
But retards can still call each other retard, right? You know, like when they greet each other: "Hey, what’s up my retard, that’s a nice dump you just took in your pants."
Does anyone remember I Am Sam? That retard was sooooo funny. I laughed so hard I peed when he fell down the stairs with that cake….No one else in the theatre was laughing, and I couldn’t figure out why.
that post is so full of mistakes, but I think you get my point.
By the way, how are we supposed to refer to Larry the Cable Guy now? Without the use of "retard" I don’t know if anyone will know who we’re talking about.
So when we would put the retarded kid’s backpack on the UPS truck in middle school and make him chase it through the parking lot, that was a hate crime?
So I suppose Wal-Mart will have to stop printing name-tags for their greeters that have "_______-the retard" on them?
I bet after all this, that fuckin retard, Quarky from the Wonder Years will get tons of work….lucky ass retard.
I went to see the movie last night, there were pickitters in front of the threatre and only 5 people in the movie including myself and my gf. My gf and I went to get some popcorn and ended up bumping into a special person(we think from the protest) coming out of the bathroom. We ended up buying him a ticket and talked him into seeing the movie with us. Fucking retard ate all my popcorn. End of story.
Rotty, that retard’s already working . . . as the lead singer in a band!!!!

So, which one of you tards is coming to the movies with me? (I put out)
new post.
I know, but I like this one. There are a disappointing lack of tits in the new post, and I am protesting
There are plenty of boobs posting there though, Eib.
BADUMP, BUMP, CYMBAL CRASH!
i suck
What these people need to do is take the word back, like we’ve been doing with the N-word. It’s all about the negative connotation. If they just started yelling at each other "What’s up my REETAA". Although with their cleft pallets and mushmouths they already sound like their saying that…
Of, fuck, I am going to print a bunch of these off and hand them out to every fat ugly soccer mom I see at Best Buy purchasing the SATC dvd!
Retards are just God’s way of saying "Oops!"
The scene was funny, the movie was funny, retarded people probably don’t know what they’re protesting against anyway. It’s the non-retards who are overly sensitive to the "R-word".
Get over yourself, you self-riteous prudes!
Do you think the theatre will mind having all those balloons float in front of the screen?
