Palin calls on Obama to fire Rahm Emanuel

By Michael O'Brien - 02/01/10

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin ® called Monday evening for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's firing over remarks he allegedly made about the intellectually disabled.

Palin, the mother of a child with Down's Syndrome, called on President Barack Obama to end Emanuel's tenure as chief of staff for having allegedly called participants in a strategy session "f---ing retarded."

Palin wrote in a Facebook note that as the debate over Obama's budget begins, the president terminate the employment of one of his top advisors.

"Our president will discuss these important issues with Democrat leaders and those within his inner circle," Palin said. "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."

The Wall Street Journal reported last Thursday that Emanuel had used the phrase during a strategy session with some of the Obama administration's liberal supporters last August.

Palin likened the use of the phrase, which is heavily frowned upon by advocates of the intellectually disabled, to using the n-word.

"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 said. "Mr. President, you can do better, and our country deserves better.

Sorry Sarah, but calling someone a retard is NOT tantamount to using the N-word. I've got an N-Word that is quite apropos for her... neophyte.

It'll take all the people who don't find her scintillating to totally ignore her. If there is no money in her opening her mouth and spouting, no one will publish what she says.

Sadly there are far too many people in this country and even these boards who think she "makes a lot of sense". Really quite sad.

She does look good with her mouth open. The sight must provoke all kinds of flights of fantasy among the unwashed and uncouth teabagging hordes.

Of that I have no doubt, hence all the 'hot Republican chick threads'. Terrible and wrong.

Because looks is what makes Ann Coulter so much more intelligent than Madeline Albright.

She is a striking woman. The first thing that strikes you is her looks and then, after she starts spewing her bizarre and incoherent rhetoric, you started striking yourself in the head in an effort to induce unconsciousness.

She is a stroking woman.

Brain explode? Only in so far as I simply don't comprehend the attraction to such simplistic ideological drum beating. And yes, that is why she gets so much media attention. I agree.

this is typical cable and network media... tailored for the average joe and jill and its appeal should not be surprising. drama sells.

No kidding man, these folks literally pull their hair out over her..... which of course makes her all the more interesting.

How does the old line go?

"An enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Of course on the other hand, with the crushing (and totally surprising) defeat Obama and his brand has been having, one would expect tantrums from his crowd over a simple face-book entry.

I mean think about that.
