Huffpo Writer: Palin to Run on Retardation Platform

July 3, a Huffington Post writer named Erik Sean Nelson posted an essay with the following title:

"Palin Will Run in '12 on More Retardation Platform"

In the article Nelson says that Palin "will be the first politician to actually try to increase the population of retarded people." In an obvious reference to Palin's son Trig, who has Downs Syndrome, Nelson further speculated on what Palin could achieve as president:

"Her policies will increase jobs because Wal-Mart is building new stores each day and someone has to be the greeter."

Nelson continues:

"She will then encourage women to hold off on pregnancies until their 40's just to mix up some chromosomes."

Thanks to an avalanche of immediate criticism from our friends over at Free Republic the Huffington Post has removed Nelson's pathetic and disgusting attempt at political humor. While the Huffington Post bills Nelson as someone who writes for "several comedy websites" their decision to post his offensive essay should have tremendous negative repercussions in the coming days and weeks.

The coming storm soon to engulf the Huffington Post will also stir up memories of President Obama's casual insult to Special Olympians on the Tonight Show back in March. Compassionate leftists, in other words, are about to have their cover blown.

The Huffington Post has crossed a very dangerous line by posting the Nelson essay. With Obama's poll numbers dropping and his foreign and domestic policies facing mounting criticism the last thing Obama needs right now is to be identified with his adolescent supporters over at the Huffington Post.

A final thought: the continuing liberal assault on Sarah Palin and her family will backfire with American voters. It will also make Sarah Palin as tough as nails in 2012.
