Palin Urges Obama to Take a 'Do-Over' on Emanuel, Holder
By Judson Berger
Sarah Palin said President Obama needs to take a "do-over" on his choice for White House chief of staff, pressing Saturday for Rahm Emanuel's firing after he used the word "retarded" to lambast a group of Democrats in a strategy session last year.
Sarah Palin said President Obama needs to take a "do-over" on his choice for White House chief of staff, pressing Saturday for Rahm Emanuel's firing after he used the word "retarded" to lambast a group of Democrats in a strategy session last year.
Emanuel is known for his coarse tongue, but the remarks touched a nerve among disability advocate groups, as well as Palin, when it was reported last week. Emanuel swiftly apologized to Special Olympics head Tim Shriver and then convened a meeting with him and other disability groups at the White House.
But Palin, who has a baby with Down syndrome, told FoxNews.com that Emanuel should still be gone -- something she first called for on her Facebook page last week.
"I am not a word police person but there are some things And remember too it's not as benign as the White House wants to spin this into," Palin said. "He didn't just use the R-word applying it to a plan -- he called opponents of a plan f'ing retards. That's demeaning, degrading, it's beneath the dignity of the White House. That alone should I think make the president ask for that do-over with his chief of staff."
It's unclear whether Emanuel was aiming the apparent slur directly at the group of Democrats he was scolding at the time, or whether it was just part of the usual tapestry of profane commentary he offers on ideas he dislikes.

“Now, castrate yourself and apologize for being annoying. “
Well, I do admit I can be annoying at times, but I will pass on the castration. I just find it so annoying to have the momentum moving in the right direction only to have some meaningless event cause a detour. It is not a big deal in the long run, but I do find it very annoying in the short run.
“Talk to the hand.”
Obviously I need to find a better way to vent my concerns.
“Do you have “doofus” written on your head?”
OK, now I find that funny.
well, remember Obama compared his bowling skills (he scored 129) to the Special Olympics?
Oh yes. Obama compared himself to the special olympians. He certainly did owe them an apology, equating them with a lowlife such as himself.
Smart move on Palin’s part. Rahm’s days are numbered, IMO. His performance as a political adviser has been amateur at best and has had disastrous results for not only his boss but the dem party in general. The “retarded” remark was leaked on purpose and Palin calling for his head will make her look like a pawnbroker when Rahm announces his intentions to “spend more time with his family”.
” ... but I will pass on the castration.”
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Arg. I don’t think you deserved that.
You might have worded it a little differently. I also read it as a put down.
“Smart move on Palin’s part.”
I agree. The rats want to play rough-and-tumble. It’s time they got a taste of their own medicine.
She has a very very steep hill to climb in any event.
It needs work. As, I suspect, do you.
Photoshopped? thanks for playing!!
“You might have worded it a little differently. I also read it as a put down.”
In a way it was meant to be a put down. Look how riled up everyone got over it. If people truly thought it was no big deal (in the “mainstream” world), my comment would be ignored. I am also interested to see how others respond because it may help to change my own thinking.
Now I am getting tired of responding, and I am weak, so I retract my original comment. (let’s see if that works)
Great pic.
Sorry, I was making a point, but it seemed to be one that got everyone all riled up. I thought it was a valid point regarding perception, but maybe I was making a bigger deal out of it than necessary.
But it’s not my fault, it’s the Superbowl’s. I had a few, the game got boring and I came here. I should know better. Drinking and posting don’t mix.
That picture right there shows how AWESOME Sarah is. She can give a rats behind what the libtards say about her. She is having a great time and enjoying life. That is why the libs hate her, she is HAPPY
Lol
No, this forum is definitely a place one can and will get riled so just expect it next time. Besides Sarah is a Goddess here.
That’s what I like about it. We can argue without calling names and cursing (too much) unlike some of the leftist sites I’ve heard about.
Sarah has a great sense of humor!!!
She’s a lot smarter than her haters in the “news media” will ever admit.
I think she bested her detractors all by herself.
(I think your game has tightened-up) Enjoy!!!
YES and Al B. found and posted it!
Can someone tell me how to join MM to make comments?
