As a deaf person, I have to say that the "socially sensitive" Democrats, liberals, and primitives aren't anything near what they crack themselves up to be.
In fact, it's been my lifelong experience that such people are exactly the opposite of what they allege themselves to be.
Such people can be real rectal apertures.
I dunno how a "disability" affects people who are close to the "disabled" person, but I'm quite reasonably assuming Sarah Palin can handle such stupidities, publicly and internally, with aplomb and grace.
She's a far better man than her disgusting critics are.
