WARNING: Strong Language follows. Quoting Rahm Emanuel.
Rahm Emanuel, a man that I have previously described as a being a BAD, BAD person, proves me right again.
Emanuel speaking to a group of his LIBERAL and PROGRESSIVE allies called them “fucking retarded” and “fucking retards” recently.
Classy Rahm, but I expect nothing less from him.
Now, Emanuel is apologizing. From USA Today:
I actually find a little humor in this, but I will get to that in a bit.
The term “retarded” is about as politically correct as “Negro” is these days…unless you are the senior Senator from Nevada. It is an outdated term that should be avoided, period. Have I used the term, yes, but not for a long time.
At its core, the term retarded was first intended to describe those with mental handicaps by assigning a synonym with slow to them. But, that is not necessarily accurate. And the term became derogatory, as was the INTENT of Rahm Emanuel, so it has been suggested that the term be retired, just like “colored” has been.
But maybe we should give Rahm Emanuel as pass on this. President Obama himself made a derogatory remark about Special Olympians on “The Tonight Show” a while back. So, this is probably a sign of the attitude that is held in the White House.
What more proof do you need?
Well, so Rahm Emanuel has apologized. He apologized for being caught more than anything else. We know what is in this man’s heart, assuming he has one. Like I said, this is a VERY bad man.
But look at the USA Today article again. Who did Emanuel apologize to?
Think about THAT for a second. Then think about who he did NOT apologize to.
That is what gave me a HUGE laugh.
