This is pretty much what Rahm Emmanuel apology means to those he was insulting.
After calling liberal groups
“F—ing retarded,”
Obama’s lightning rod created the perfect storm. WaPo reports Palin got in the game too
Sarah Palin posted a scathing critique of Emanuel’s comments on her Facebook page and called for President Obama to fire him. Palin’s son, Trig, was born with Down Syndrome.
As a result, an apology followed
“Rahm called Tim Shriver Wednesday to apologize and the apology was accepted,” a White House aide said. “The White House remains committed to addressing the concerns and needs of Americans living with disabilities and recognizes that derogatory remarks demean us all.
DEMEAN US ALL?
Who exactly is “us”? Are liberal groups part of “us”? because I didn’t hear any apologies to them. All I see is a vocabulary tweak.
Even B0b0ts smell something funny about this
Let me get this straight….
The world turned on its head. “Liberals”, aka the kind of folks on DU??, are attacked by the WH Chief of Staff and defended by Palin?
Of course, she could be saying it’s our right to be “retarded”, or that she’s afraid Trig will rebel and grow up liberal?
Palin aside, thanks a f’ing s*&tload Rahm – your words not withstanding, your loyaly is touching and brings tears to my f’ing retarded eyes.
and they are not the sharpest tools in the box
I pay no attention to him – he doesn’t have the President’s ear nor
reflect his thinking.VEEPs are Constitutional Officers – WH Chiefs of Staff serve at the pleasure of the President.
So Mr. President, was Rahn off message or is it your position that liberals are f-ing retards? Before we have another election, we’d really like to know where YOU stand. And what you intend to do about it.
Of course, I love to see their heads exploding on Palin’s defending them
Liberals object to something he said – he tells them to get f*#ked
Palin objects to something he said – he apologizes.That tells me everything I need to know about this sorry piece of crap.
He needs to be gone yesterday.

Update
Just watching The View – the idiots are all gloming on “retarded” and leaving “liverals out.
Baba Wawa makes it worst harping on the fact that it was a private meeting and someone leaked it to “do him harm”
oh, the humanity!
“The intent is not there” brays Joy. Indeed.
What they are all saying is:
he insulted retarded people by comparing them to liberals.
What I think, Also, since he dropped the “F” bomb, shouldn’t he maybe apologize to…the pro-life people?
Update
Emmanuel apologizes again – also to the wrong people
while Bareback Sullivan is giddy for new trash on Palin obsessing on her retarded son
C’mon, Levi. Write that book. Expose this fraud.

Twinkle Toes is not making any friends. Poor Twinkle Toes. Of course the Bobots don’t want to admit that Twinkle Toes is doing what Obama wants him to do. This is all Obama’s agenda – Rahmbo is there to make it happen.

Why is it, I’d like to know, that the Shrivers have the right of absolution for all insults to “challenged” individuals? Remember when Obama made that joke about the Special Olympics and his “water head” dog? Well… THEN it half made sense….
But now? Really? “Special Olympics” is the only US body that speaks for the handicapped?? No wonder Rahm thinks it is OK to insult them, then. With the Shrivers it’s automatic absolution.
Move on… nothing to see here….

Shriver’s the go-to guy, just like Rev. Al is for race & Rick Warren is for RW Christians. Sharpton appointed himself, but the other two just have instant name recognition.
Of course, there’s no go-to gal for women because nobody ever feels the need to apologize for using a sexist insult.

I think that insult is one prime reason Chicago lost the 2012 Olympics.
The Special Olympics are approved and endorsed by the Olympics.

Well, actually that seems to be another lie from the White House! According to Politico, The Special Olympics has not accepted any apology.

hmmmmnnn, what moronic line of thinking makes one conclude that the white house Chief of staff doesn’t have the president’s ear?

In the comments-section to a article on how Obama’s SOTU had “a readability score for an average 8th grader” …
http://tinyurl.com/yz4qgez
… there’s this one:
“Obama was speaking to the type of people who would vote for him, not to authentic, educated Americans.”
So does s/he agree with Rahm? That people who vote for Obama are reta… ehrm, unauthentic, uneducated?

This helps explain why the White House has been squatting down and crapping on progressives from the day they took office.
I’m convinced Rahm Emanuel was humiliated by a progressive at some sensitive moment in his career and has devoted his life to destroying everything progressive. It’s only a theory, but it’s by far the best explanation for how things have gone so unbelievably and incredibly bad in so short a time.

Remember when Obama insulted people with Down Syndrome on the 2008 campaign trail?
Sarah had to come to the rescue then too!
These O-Boughts, from the Big O-Bought in the White House on down just have negative level to zero level EQ (Emotional Quotient).
