Sarah Palin wants Rahm Emanuel canned for calling the ‘r-word’
One things for certain, Sarah Palin is no fan of one notoriously foul-mouthed chief of staff.
And the Fox News contributor wants to do more than clean Rahm Emanuel’s mouth out with soap.
Palin took to Facebook to voice her complaints against “Mr. Potty Mouth” for comments the Wall Street Journal reports he said about a liberal group with complaints about President Obama’s health-care overhaul.
“F—ing retarded,” Mr. Emanuel reportedly said in reference to the group.
In a Facebook post, Palin compares the the phrase to calling blacks ‘the N-word.’
“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,” she wrote.
Palin compelled the president to remove 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,” she wrote in a letter seemingly directed at the president.
Truth be told, she probably wants him fired for breathing too.
What do you think? Should Rahm get the ram? Is the r-word nearly as bad as the n-word?
