In a speech to a packed room of Obama for America phone bank volunteers at the Democratic National Committee headquarters Thursday night in Washington, D.C., Special Assistant to the President Kareem Dale said that people with disabilities are going to be “absolutely killed” under the proposed policies of Mitt Romney and delivered a strong message to the crowd: “let’s win this motherfu**er.”
Dale, who is himself partially blind, acts currently as the associate director for the White House Office of Public Engagement and as a special assistant to the president for disability policy.
During his address, Dale discussed the difference between the president’s views on healthcare and Romney’s. That’s when he said that the president would “protect the disabled” and announced, in contrast, that ”people with disabilities are going to be absolutely killed under Mitt Romney’s plan.”
He continued: “We know that other minorities are not going to have the same opportunity in this country if Mitt Romney becomes president.” He also said that the LGBT community would “lose their rights if Mitt Romney becomes president.”
“We cannot afford to go back,” he added to the crowd of about 60. He said later, “We’ve seen [Romney], we’ve seen what he has to say, we’ve seen what he is all about” and even though he does this “whole waffling thing” that the “proof is in the pudding.” He also hammered Romney on the governor’s 47 percent remarks, saying “I’m one of those 47 percent. Many of you all are one of those 47 percent. And I’ll be damned if were going to let somebody who does not care about me or other people like me get into office. It’s not gonna happen.”
He wasn’t done there.
After telling the audience that the election is all about the ground game — making calls and knocking doors — he got animated. “The work you do is incredibly important,” he said, then raising his voice into the microphone and saying “lets win this motherfu**er!” This final comment was met with applause, cheers, and some nervous laughter from those listening. Kareem Dale Delivers Impassioned Speech at Obama for America Phone Bank Rally
After the impassioned speech, Dale began making calls for the president. TheBlaze approached him and asked him to clarify his remarks. After conferring with an associate who was sitting across the room, he declined to comment, saying it was probably not a good idea based on his position.
The comments were made during a phone bank for ‘All Abilities’ which included the LGBT community and Asian-American community according to organizers within the DNC. Details can be found below:
Lovely
A Leftist is being profane and lying about killing disabled people (or women or minorities or gays or old folks or kids or puppies or mother Earth).
Where is the shock in that? Its all they ever do? Its the only thing in their playbook.
Michel (Roger and Me) Moore ....not Roger Moore
Doh!
MICHAEL !
He may be partially blind but he is totally stupid.
before or after birth ?
I understand Joe Biden said to him...”Just sit over there...” and pointed to a chair across the room...
I will keenly monitor developments here if Romney is elected to see if my disabled step daughter is “absolutely killed”. Have a feeling she will be still kicking, on Medicaid as always. She was actually too ill to go and register to vote. Most certainly would not vote for Obama if she had.
someone should help him with the tie thing.
turning the US into Chicago, one move at a time.
Word on the street is that Dale really is handicapped.
He once was seduced by and made love to a sweet talking Girl in the press room named Helen Thomas.
No, you're not.
Dale, who is himself partially blind, acts currently as the associate director for the White House Office of Public Engagement and as a special assistant to the president for disability policy.
With that title, you're topping $100K and paying taxes. Unless you're cheating, like the Secretary of the Treasury...
It's all about staying on the gravy train, isn't it, Kareem ol' buddy, ol' pal?
Hey Kareem Dale, you will be losing your power and your job... very soon.
Kinda funny, huh?
They smell Obama’s blood!
He’s bleeding all over the country, and is headed for sure defeat; they’ll do anything! (that is what is called ‘Pragmatism.’)
Presumably he is on the federal payroll in that job and therefore is being paid by ALL the taxpayers of the country.
Isn’t it against the law for a civil servant to partisan politic on taxpayer time?
