But it turns out that a week before the super-liberal TED crowd was shocked by comedian Sarah Silverman's repeated use of the word "retarded" on stage (so much so that TED organizer Chris Anderson tweeted how "god-awful" she was), she had agreed to donate her time to a fundraiser for children with Down syndrome.
She was ridiculing Sarah Palin's whole argument that the word "retard" can't be used.
The crowd, mostly bay area wine and cheese liberals, should have been cheering her on. But it went over their head, and TED stepped in it.
