Why I heckled Bill Maher

Ron Futrell

iowntheworld.com  "I have a special-needs son named Troy. He’s 27. Every day, I drop him off at Las Vegas’s Opportunity Village, a workplace for adults with special needs. Helping people with special needs is something I’m passionate about.
"As you may recall, Sarah Palin has a special-needs son, too. During his performance, Maher chose to make a joke about Palin’s five-year-old son, Trig, who he described as a “retard.” The audience of supposedly compassionate liberals roared with laughter. The crowd’s reaction was even more disturbing than the joke itself."
The compassionate left.

The incident was covered in the Las Vegas paper: Ex-sports anchor chides Bill Maher  "“I went there to be enlightened,” he said. “I like hearing from both sides.”
"He added, “I have found out one thing. The left doesn’t like to be confronted.”
"The Review-Journal sought comment from Maher but didn’t receive a response by deadline."

Mediaite has more on this  "Ron Futrell, a former sportscaster and contributor for Breitbart, says Maher referred to Palin’s youngest child Trig as “retarded.” Futrell has a special needs child himself, and has interviewed Palin in the past about their shared challenges. He was appalled, not only at Maher’s word choice, but the audience’s uproarious reaction."

Sarah Palin pounds Bill Maher for attacking special-needs son Trig as 'retarded'  
"Futrell has no regrets heckling Maher, and said he would "always be glad" to stand up for those who have no voice.
"It's not the first time liberals have attacked Palin's youngest son, who was diagnosed with Down's Syndrome.
"In April 2011, we reported that the liberal site Wonkette posted a vile attack against Trig on his third birthday."
