Sarah Palin calls for Obama to fire Rahm Emanuel over ‘f—-ing retarded’ comment
Rahm Emanuel’s penchant for profanity has now drawn the ire of Sarah Palin. The ex-Alaska governor is demanding President Obama fire the White House chief of Staff for remarks she says were disparaging of the disabled.
In a strategy session between White House aides and progressive groups, Emanuel called a plan to air attack ads against fellow Democrats opposed to health-care legislation ‘f—-ing retarded.’ The remarks were reported in the Wall Street Journal.
Palin slammed the comments, saying they were as outrageous as a public figure using the N-word in a screed posted on Facebook. Palin’s youngest son, Trig, was born with Downs syndrome.
“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,” she wrote.
“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.”
Palin went on to demand Obama respond to the numerous condemnations of Emanuel’s remarks by advocates for the disabled.
The 2008 GOP vice-presidential candidate is no stranger to whipping up a brouhaha on Facebook. Last summer in a Facebook post she invoked her son in slamming Obama’s health care plan.
“The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care,” Palin wrote. “Such a system is downright evil.”
Since suddenly resigning the governorship of Alaska last summer, Sarah Palin has assumed the role of a highly-visible conservative gadfly. In addition to making rounds on the lecture circuit and publishing a memoir, she has also joined Fox News as an analyst
