| Rahm Emanuel: Liberals Are "F--king Retarded" |
| 2010-01-27 |
| One thing you find out pretty quickly when dealing with beltway press is that Rahm Emanuel is a source for most of them, and that they're generally unwilling to criticize him lest they blow up one of their best sources of White House spin. So, it's rare that a journalist (in this case the Wall Street Journal's Peter Wallsten, recently arrived from the LA Times) runs a non-lapdog profile. Most amusing to me was the fact that he finally got the goods about Rahm's famous Veal Pen tirade, when Rahm showed up at the Common Purpose meeting and lambasted the liberal interest groups because MoveOn was running radio ads against Blue Dogs. Previously it had been reported that Rahm called them "f*#king stupid," even though the scuttlebut was that Rahm said they were "f*#king retards." It's a tight-lipped crowd to penetrate, and nobody wants to get zapped from the meetings for talking to the press. But Wallsten managed to get the story: Looks like he may have tangled with the Common Purpose Crowd, possibly the CBC. Is it under the bus time for Rahm? |

| #10 Retards are fair targets for the mainstream left, Besoeker. It ties into the whole hate-on-Downs Syndrome thing they were hot on during the Palin freakout. Part and parcel of the eugenicist element of the pro-abortions crowd. When identified before birth, 92% of children with Downs Syndrome are executed before birth... oh, I'm sorry: their pregnancies are terminated. Often this is because the pediatrician bombards the mother with half-facts, anecdotal information, and outdated research about people with Downs syndrome. It's deliberate genocide, plane and simple. The Democrats are 100% all about this sort of thing. It's a hangover from the old progressive eugenics craze of the 30's, which Hitler put an end to by simply being more progressive than anybody else - and Emanuel has a point, because they haven't thought it through all the way. If people with Down's aren't desirable and have no right to life, how about people with Ashbergers? OCD? Bad eyesight? If there is such a thing as a "gay gene," how much do you want to be we see something like 92% in another category? Will it be genocide then? I have a daughter with Downs syndrome. She is very sweet, pretty, and as far as I can tell (she's still very young) intelligent enough. When I lived in San Francisco I constantly surrounded by people with less to offer the human race than her... most of whom would think that her existence is "unfortunate." Funny thing: I feel the same way about them. |

| #7 P2k, not sure about the source of that quote...but I do know that one favorite of this gang o' idiots, Alinsky, once famously said "I feel confident that I could persuade a millionaire on a Friday to subsidize a revolution for Saturday out of which he would make a huge profit on Sunday even though he was certain to be executed on Monday." |

Abortion prevents those harmful greenhouse gas and Zyklon B oven emissions. |

| #3 “F–king Retarded” ...considering the audience, isn't that something of a racist term? The scales of "exceptionalism" must have at long last fallen from Rham's Type A eyes. |

| #1 Rahm Emanuel: Liberals Are "F--king Retarded" Well, it was another Marxist who commented that a capitalist was one who'd sell you the rope you'll hang him with. Concept is the same. |
