Sarah Palin calls for Obama to fire Rahm Emanuel over ‘f--ing retarded’ comment

if palin was ever powerful enough to de-throne emmanuel, that would not only be serious...but a joke.

Speaking of retarded I want to tell you all a joke I heard a few days ago.

This retarded woman was making dinner and her retarded husband came home and says, "Hiiiiii hooonneey, Aymhome!" And she replies "Hiiiii deeeer, aymaking uuuurrrr favarit diiiiiinnnnner. Aymaking meatloaaf an mashed potatoes." And the husband says "Oh Ya? Well what about the vegtables?"

And the wife replies....."Ahhh there not home from school yet."

Besides, the word 'retarded' means stupid in today's semantic world.

when will she go away? if i'm not mistaken isn't she quoted calling her baby retarded?

Doesn't Sarah have a child who is "fucking retarded"?

it's not out of the realm of possibility that the downs syndrome baby was her daughters, and she was just so young that they pretended it was Sarahs. Isnt that how Republicans deal with babies they cant get rid of? The updated version of 'going to visit an aunt'?

sarah palin is a gosh darn freakin dimwit

Maybe she felt it was directed towards her seeing that she is in fact.... fucking retarted .... It's called freedom of speech Palin, how is that she feels the need to have peoples jobs everytime someone says something that only offends her ? Imagine if she tries to run for president, that would be like a bad disney movie. Soccer mom takes over america and teaches us how to love again and all act like 4th graders... No thank ya....go back to alaska already, fuck...

When will Sarah apologize for the half ass remarks she has made the past two years?

Sarah who?

WEBSTERS
"sometimes" offensive : slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress

doui what is sometimes? anyone? what is slow in academic progress= a politician?

Champion of corporate America vs. airhead Palin? Both bad if you ask me. Using the term is wrong because the mentally challenged cannot defend themselves. If it is ok to call people retarded that is like saying it is ok to call anyone a derogatory name and the last time I heard that was not ok.

Why are people still talking about this woman as if she's still relevant?

While what Rahm said maybe unbecoming of a public figure in the ever-scrutinizing eyes of the Right Wing Hate Machine, I believe he had the right to say it as an American. Whether he chose the right forum to vocalize that sentiment, and whether or not he chose the right forum to make that statement is up for discussion.

However, in light of the clawing, scratching, and biting that the Republican Party is doing to all opposition to stay relevant, it might have been in his best political interest to reword that comment or reserve it for a more private discussion.

Oh, and Palin needs to go back to Alaska. She only jumped on this for the headlines, as she has done before. She's nothing more than a political opportunist (As well as an apparent racist, allegedly).

Rahm has a point and Sarah is still an idiot.

Did he say "f-ing intellectually disabled"? If not then why would she think her kid was being insulted? What's the point in having PC terms when everyone still applying the "improper" terms anyways? If anything I think the disabled community should take offense to Palin automatically assuming that the "retarded" comment was directed towards them.

"Palin’s youngest son, Trig, was born with Downs syndrome."

And, evidently, so was she.

Does anybody else find it funny that her son has a trisomy of the 21st chromosome and she named him "Trig"? Just wondering if this was on purpose...

Also, and perhaps more importantly, does anyone actually give a shit what Sarah Palin says anyway?

she needs a life... get over yourself and go back to what you do best! look for Russia when you're cooking!

The plan is fucking retarded for Democrats to attack other Democrats through ads aired on TV.

Also, Since when did Palin become PC?

Who's a fucking retard?

Um... according to Levi Johnson's interview on CBS' Early Show, Palin REPEATEDLY referred to her infant son Trig as "retarded," often saying "Bring Me My Retarded Baby!" when she wanted him. During the 2008 campaign, he says she used the baby as a prop while in reality Bristol primarily cared for it.

That woman is so ignorant, so crass, so full to the brim with hypocrisy, that I have no reason to think Johnson's revelations are anything but true.

She has the best legs of any woman politician in the country.

If Palin thinks profanity is a reason to get fired, then EVERYONE in my office would be gone (I work at a government facility). Or better yet, the entire government! We have to put up with this shit during every fucking administration

hey Palin, SHIT THE HELL UP!!! I'm tired of hearing about you and seeing your face!

I think Rahm's choice of language was intemperate and inappropriate...though I do understand his frustration on the issue that elicited his f-bomb. But the good news is that it is refreshing to see that Ms. Palin continues to capture the nation's imagination by taking on the truly important issues. Apparently she is learning at the feet of the great Sean Hannity who scooped the world with regard to Obama's evil proclivities as to his choice of picnic condiments...

sarah palin...calm down

Sarah Palin is a tard. Civil servants curse like drunken sailors. We also use the "retard" word alot because, well, that is what we are usually working with. We never mean it as an insult to the developementally disabled because we are not supposed to use it to describe them anymore anyway. I would never call someone with a disability or who is specially abled a retard. I might use the term for an administrator or two. We have taken over the word and use it to describe our co-workers, bosses, representatives, anyone that exhibits behavior detrimental enough to operations to warrant the term.

retard defined: cause to move more slowly or operate at a slower rate. Tell me that does not aptly define public service. Lighten up.

I got your back Rahm and know where you are coming from! :)

Sarah Palin's fake indignation, does more dis-service to mentally challenged people, than what was said by Rahm Emanuel. Sarah Palin is making it personal for 'mentally challenged people', she knows they had no 'real' place in what Rahm Emanuel was saying. Strategery? Yes, I know it's spelled incorrectly. Strategery is strategy run-amuck.

The comment is offensive....but fire him?? I would choose to get rid of him for other reasons, but his brash and inappropriate comment is not one.

What I recall as finding extremely offensive was the ex-gov basically condoning remarks encouraging violence toward Candidate Obama during the campaign.

She's offended because a man of his standing should not speak publicly like this. Remember her son is a Trisomy baby with a low IQ, or more commonly and vulgarly known as retarded. The comment was offensive, was it not?

I feel like she is just trying to make up for the fact that she was accused of calling her own kid retarded.

anyone else think she fuck'n retarded?

Considering how roundly Obama crushed Palin's political ambitions in the election, I think it's fair to say that he will be ignoring her demand as well should we all. Palin is ... how do I say this? ... intellectually impaired.

Ah finally some bipartisanship you can sink your teeth into. Liberal Democrats and Sarah Palin up in a tree, K I S S I...

Idiocracy - at least she's got her f-ing electrolytes.

Sarah who?
Why do people still listen to this chick?

When she cries against the South Carolina guy comparing free lunch kids to "stray animals who will breed!", then maybe I will listen to her rally against the f word. I like the f word. It accentuates my eyes.

i'm sorry but that's fucking hilarious!!

i think palin is confused... like normal... he was not talking about her... although its easy to understand how she was confused...

Ok, granted he maybe shouldn't have articulated with those exact terms.
However, words like 'retarded' and 'gay' have such loose connotations nowadays and the majority of Americans probably use them, casually, everyday.
He is human, he is admittedly brash and his comments should probably never have left the doors of that meeting.

Palin attacks Rahm Emanuel for using the word 'retarded' - Maybe she thought he was referring to HER.

Once again I find partisanship goes both ways. All those on the left seem to be looking at this as if it's no big deal but I know if some republican had said that they'd be jumping their shit.

Fact is, as White House Chief of Staff you should really watch what you say. It's ridiculous to say fuck first off and second saying retard which offends millions of Americans, those with disabilities and related to those with disabilities, is absolutely absurd.

Next, calling this petty politics is a scape goat by the left to act as if what he did was nothing and the right is merely blowing it out of proportion. Sarah Palin has a child with Downs syndrome and as a mother she probably was very offended. Since she is in a position of power she should stand strong for those whom she represents, all the other people with family that have disabilities. Now does it help her politics? Yes. But Rahm let it happen. If he would have used respectable rhetoric as a member of our political system should this all would not have been an issue.

Granted, he shouldn't be FIRED...but he should be punished in some way. He needs to learn to act as the position he holds requires him to.

That is pretty amazing considering her stance on health care ... just imagine the pain and suffering she is personally responsible for.

I agree that Emanuel shouldn't have said it, but Palin is obviously getting desperate for attention. If I say her actions are stupid, am I insulting people with low IQs?

i agree with him, that is pretty F***ing retarded.

Just more of Palin's petty politics.

No one likes a potty mouth.

I know someone that says that word is not a good word to use no matter what and they post here. She's a smart one as well. Glad to know we are both Atheist. It is not ok to use that word.

I agree with Rob's comment and in reality he said nothing that a lot of other people are thinking and that is that the opposition is 'fing retarded'. Moreover, Palin is the last person who should be blasting anyone for anything said as he is known for making some of the most outlandish comments many of us have ever been privy to during her bid for the Vice-Presidency.

Very much not news, voted down.
