Should Rahm Emanuel be disciplined for calling a proposal "f---ing retarded"?

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.

He should be fired.

But he’ll probably get a raise.

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.

[kbennkc]

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?
