"Nikki Graham is mentally retarded"

[dogtired]

That was from the mouth of a radio presenter yesterday morning. This is not the first time I've heard him use the word retarded used as an insult. This radio presenter has recently been frequently getting on his high horse about the "racist witches" from Celebrity Big Brother. How hypocritical is that??

I've emailed them to complain. Got this back :

Dear

Thank you for your email. We would like to apologise for any offence
caused by **'s comments, that was certainly not our or his
intention.

I will make sure your comments are passed on to his producer.

I am sick of the most vulnerable people in our society being the victims of such prejudice. I can't believe how intelligent, articulate radio presenters can get away with using this language for a cheap laugh in 2007

Brand new too! Those pesky disabled folk obviously get too much money. Disgraceful!

Ah! Now I vaguely remember something about someone being sent back into BB after being evicted but had no idea who/what when.

They should be out there getting jobs. There's plenty of work out there.

[onlyjoking9329]

[dogtired]

Still haven't heard back from them
