Mrs. Palin is calling<\/a> for Obama to fire his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel<\/strong>, for calling a group of liberals “fucking retarded” during a private meeting.<\/p>\n

How dare that big Jew use this hateful slur in a private meeting?!?<\/p>\n

In a sanctimonious rant on her Facebook page, entitled “Are You Capable of Decency, Rahm Emanuel?”, Mrs. P compares his use of the word retarded<\/em> to the use of “the N word.” She goes on to say: “Rahm\u2019s slur on all God\u2019s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities \u2014 and the people who love them \u2014 is unacceptable, and it\u2019s heartbreaking.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus, this woman is a piece of work. She is beneath shameless. Is there a word for that (besides “cunt?”) She even asks in her idiotic Facebook screed, “Have you no sense of decency, sir<\/strong>?”\u00a0\u00a0 I know that she employs a ghostwriter for her Facebook communiques, but what do you think the chance is that Mrs. Palin knows who<\/a> made that phrase famous, and in what context?\u00a0\u00a0 If she did know, would she be stupid enough to compare Rahm Emanuel to Joseph McCarthy<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

I don’t like the way Mrs. P has positioned herself as the public defender of the disabled. Just because she happened to get herself a Down Syndrome baby, she doesn’t get to represent Down Syndrome. Her exploitation of her child’s disability is deeply immoral. This photo of her, posing with a “constituent,” is what’s heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, in private, we use words that others might find offensive. I know I like to scream “you fat pig” at people on TV, for example.\u00a0\u00a0 The first time I heard Bob Woodward<\/strong> on television, I asked my husband, “Is that guy retarded?” It was a real question: Woodward speaks very slowly. Every time he’s on TV now, my kid or my husband calls out, “There’s that retarded guy.”<\/p>\n

Big fucking deal. I am a special needs mom, and I know where my heart is. I don’t need some self-appointed Queen of the Disabled Community to scold me or Rahm Emanuel.<\/p>\n

Does that retarded bitch have no decency?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
