Correct me if I'm wrong, but the point is that "retarded" is used as a word for "wrong," essentially, in the same way that "faggot" and "gay" were used in the 90s, when I was in school. I think she's right and I agree that it could/should be qualified as hate speech, depending on the situation.

I mostly take exception to this line:

If you're a comedy host for the CBC, apparently it is

A host/employee/staff member of the CBC didn't use the word retarded; the members of Blubba Productions did. I'm not saying that they were right to use that word, far from it. I'm just pointing out that the CBC didn't.
