The Obama comment and the Emanual comment are similar.
The word "retarded" can describe a disabled person but it can also pejoratively describe a non disabled person who is acting stupidly.
The phrase "Special Olympics" can describe what are special games for disabled people but it can also pajoritively describe non disabled people acting clody.
There isn' a dimes worth of difference between Obama's usage of the phrase "Special Olympics" and now Emanuel's usage of the word "retarded". Yet, as I pointed out to you, there was a thread about Obama and his comment that was 387 posts long and there was no Charles on that thread and there was not even one "concerned" and "objective" person on that thread lecturing the Freepers about "falsely accusing Obama of being insensitive".
So much for objectively when Sarah is involved.
That is the point of our disagreement, as I disagree with your opinion of the two statements, because, as I explained, Obama clearly was comparing his performance to the special olympics. Obviously if I agreed with you, I'd have made the comment on one of the Obama threads on the subject. Since I didn't, I wouldn't have.
