Sarah Palin: Are You Capable of Decency, Rahm Emanuel?
facebook ^ | Feb. 1, 2010 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 02/01/2010 5:46:47 PM PST by Al B.

The newly-released mind-boggling, record-smashing $3,400,000,000,000 federal budget invites plenty of opportunity to debate the merits of incurring more and more debt that will drown the next generation of Americans. Never has it been possible to spend your way out of debt. So... let the debate begin.

Included in the debate process will be opportunities for our president to deliberate internally the wisdom of this debt explosion, along with other economic, military and social issues facing our country. Our president will discuss these important issues with Democrat leaders and those within his inner circle. I would ask the president to show decency in this process by eliminating one member of that inner circle, Mr. Rahm Emanuel, and not allow Rahm’s continued indecent tactics to cloud efforts. Yes, Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm’s recent sick and offensive tactic.

The Obama Administration’s Chief of Staff scolded participants, calling them, “F---ing retarded,” according to several participants, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

Just as we’d be appalled if any public figure of Rahm’s stature ever used the “N-word” or other such inappropriate language, Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking.

A patriot in North Andover, Massachusetts, notified me of Rahm’s “retarded” slam. I join this gentleman, who is the father of a beautiful child born with Down Syndrome, in asking why the Special Olympics, National Down Syndrome Society and other groups condemning Rahm’s degrading scolding have been completely ignored by the White House. No comment from his boss, the president?

As my friend in North Andover says, “This isn’t about politics; it’s about decency. I am not speaking as a political figure but as a parent and as an everyday American wanting my child to grow up in a country free from mindless prejudice and discrimination, free from gratuitous insults of people who are ostensibly smart enough to know better... Have you no sense of decency, sir?”

Mr. President, you can do better, and our country deserves better.

I think she’s genuinely offended for her child.

Hey. We are being too harsh on Rahm. Of course he can be decent.

As long as he doesn't open his mouth or show his face.

Celebrity Death Match!!!

Sarah the Moose Slayer against the bisexual tag team of Emanuel and O’Bozo.

She would pluck the feathers off these two mincing, strutting peacocks.

But I prefer to fight all political correctness. It is poisoning our nation.

I agree with you, and that is noble fight, but I found that the wall was tougher then my head and tired of the headaches.

THIS JUST PISSES ME OFF NO END! Sorry if I’ve violated any FR rules. I am the legal guardian of a severely retarded older brother (almost 50, still in diapers, etc.), and he has taught me more about loving others than most ‘regular’ people. Screw Rahm and his death loving brother! F-—!!! these people! AAARRRGGHHH!!!!
