Exactly what image are you trying to convey to a person that you're calling a "######"? It's offensive because you are very likely hoping they think you are comparing them to a person who was formerly known as mentally ######ed. So, do you think there is any couth to using a group of people as a way of insulting another?
Also, saying that "idiot" and "moron" are synonyms of "######" is as false as saying "black" is a synonym of the n-word.
"Idiot" and "moron" aren't derogatory to any group of people, and don't have the same historical use as "######" did.
