I know it is hard for most people to understand why using the word "retard" is derogatory. Trust me it is. This picture above while some may think is funny breaks my heart. Rahm probably thinks it is hilarious. I thought it would drive home the point a bit.
It wasn't that long ago the Obama denigrated Special Olympians in explaining his poor bowling and now his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel shows his sensitivity to the subject by dropping the "retarded" word in describing some ideas he didn't like as reported on FoxNews online.
How about the so called "enlightened" limousine liberals? They like to tell the rest of us how to think and call all of us conservatives "close minded" while they enjoy disparaging people with disabilities. Does it feel smart and powerful to make fun of people who have more courage and work harder to do things that you and I take for granted everyday?
I also like the latest example of one liberal absolving another liberal for their lack of character.
Tim Shriver, CEO of Special Olympics, who has rightly championed a campaign to end the use of the word "retard" was on call to take and accept Rahm's apology.......apparently on behalf of all people with intellectual disabilities. Hey dickhead, how about an apology to everyone you insulted? I know you are legendary for your free use of the eff word which sounds so amazingly intelligent. One of my resolutions this year was to stop using the eff word but today I'll make an exception. So how about I speak your language for a moment.........FUCK YOU, PRICK.
I hope these comments only display their lack of education and self control and not their real feelings and commitment to people with disabilities. I doubt it.
