Palin Calls For Rahm Emanuel To Be Fired
First Posted: 02- 2-10 05:44 AM | Updated: 02- 2-10 06:04 AM

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is calling on President Barack Obama to fire chief of staff Rahm Emanuel over Emanuel's penchant for using profanity and a statement he made that was derogatory of the handicapped. Really.

The 2008 vice presidential candidate put up a Facebook post on Monday evening arguing that Emanuel's offending slur (in which he said that liberal groups thinking of running health care-related ads against Democratic Senators were "F---ing retarded") was no less the equivalent of using the "N-word."

I would ask the president to show decency in this process by eliminating one member of that inner circle, Mr. Rahm Emanuel, and not allow Rahm's continued indecent tactics to cloud efforts. Yes, Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm's recent sick and offensive tactic.

The Obama Administration's Chief of Staff scolded participants, calling them, "F---ing retarded," according to several participants, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

Just as we'd be appalled if any public figure of Rahm's stature ever used the "N-word" or other such inappropriate language, Rahm's slur on all God's children with cognitive and developmental disabilities - and the people who love them - is unacceptable, and it's heartbreaking.

The Emanuel remark was reported recently by The Wall Street Journal but stems back from the heat of the health care wars in August. It would not be a stretch to suggest that this wasn't the first time the chief of staff (known for an acid tongue) has leveled some sort of odious broadside at one group or another while at his perch in the West Wing.

That this one would send Palin over the edge seems logical. Not merely because of her personal ties to the issue -- her youngest child, of course, suffers from Down syndrome -- but because identity politics is her forte. And the ease with which Emanuel's comments could be used to get people riled up was probably just too alluring for her to simply dismiss as run-of-the-mill heated political rhetoric.

[MUAD_DIB]

12. $arah, you unbelievably ignorant $lut.

Does she remind anybody of the character "Serena Joy" from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale?"

Serena Joy, before the fundy revolution in the book, was a severely misguided televangelist with some power and a following. After it she was a willing dupe since she had been subject, mostly, to the same anti-feminist laws that she helped create.

Poor, poor, $arah just seems like a real-world example of Serena Joy: painfully ignorant of the monster that she has created...until it is too late.

[JoePhilly]

14. I think she is pregnant again ... every time she opens her mouth, she misses 3 periods.

[Brother Buzz]

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. Yes. Rahm needs to go.

[dionysus]

[Sebastian Doyle]

25. Of all the reasons why Rahm should be fired, him saying "fuck" ain't one of them.

I do agree with Moosealini that he shouldn't have used "retarded" in that context though.

And I hope to God that's the first and last time I ever have to agree with her about anything. :scared:

[and-justice-for-all]

[Jack Rabbit]

43. Jack Rabbit calls for Sarah Palin to crawl into a hole ... because there are reports she's a liar

Or, to channel Rahm Emanuel on the subject, because she's a motherfucking liar.

Tell us again, Ms. Palin, about death panels. Tell us again how that's wasn't a lie, just a metaphor.
