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.

Not if it was Obama’s budget proposal!

[camle]

where are all the advocates for the mentally disabled here?

[Jim Robinson]

Hell no. He should be encouraged to keep up the great work. Let it all hang out (so to speak).

[brytlea]

I’ll be back. After reading the comments I really need a shower.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Yes. 50%
No. 47%
Not sure. 3%

[freedumb2003]

He should be fired.

But he’ll probably get a raise.

[EyeGuy]

Coarse, flyweight attorney coward, without even a quark of true toughness and courage.

[Slings and Arrows]

Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.

[God luvs America]

up to 53% yes...

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Who's retarded????.....

[compman]

Oh please, do we really have to show fake outrage for a comment during a meeting. It wasn’t like he was at the Special Olympics and made the comment. We should show we are better than the democrats. I mean, I have two cats, their names are Tard and Retard.

[hondact200]

Emanuel should be arrested and placed in a facility for the mentally incompetent

[RummyChick]

Adam and Eve

[missnry]

What should we expect from this guy? His history is well documented. He sure doesn't care what the public thinks about anything.

plan to air attack ads against fellow Democrats opposed to health-care legislation 'f----ing retarded.'

The truth is a defense .

[bigbob]

No, we want him to continue being the face and (filthy) mouth of the Obama administration.

[OldEagle]

Retarded is a word. Some people are retarded and some proposals are too. Are people objecting to his use of a perfectly good word or to “f-—ing?
