Well, then I sit corrected- since you didn't bother to link to your source, I had no idea.

Why would any extrainious comments like "I think she had a twinkie stockpile in the back" lessen (or compound) the intent of the original comment?

As I said, it was a physical description. The poster didn't hang on it, go on about it, keep digging- there was a comment and immediate movement onward. Going on about the fatness WOULD constitute a different intention entirely. Also, the other descriptions you listed: gimp, deaf, retarded, would likely have ALSO been regarded as simple observations, unless (as I said) there were extra comments made to indicate different (bad) intent.
