Anybody remember this?
Back in 1994, Al Gore called Oliver North "the colonel of untruth" and said Mr. North was counting on political contributions from "the extra-chromosome right wing."
(Sources: White House Special Briefing, 10/28/94; Washington Times, September 4, 1997 )
AL APOLOGIZES: Vice President Al Gore sent out a letter apologizing for his embarrassing "extra chromosome" jibe at Oliver North supporters, saying he had "learned an important lession [sic]." (Source: National Review, December 31, 1994.)
This seems to be a common insult for Leftists. They just can't understand the difference between calling those they believe are ignorant 'retarded' and comparing those they believe are ignorant people to people with Down's Syndrome. They'll never get it... Ever.
I really hope you got offended for the left when the right has accused them of being communist or being Nazi's? I think I would rather be compared to someone with downs, then a group of people who tried to wipe out a certain ethnic group.
Like I said, Faux outrage. Which is exactly why Bill made the comment, he knew the right would go nuts over it.
