Rahm Drops The "R" Bomb

[Red Arrow]

Some goon in admin./ mod goosed my site personal info and changed it. All posties need to understand what they are dealing with in here but they have no rules to live by only a moral obligation. That's long speak for what "they"
did was immoral. My stuff is cutting edge. Their stuff is censorship. Shameful.

FOTD, where did you get the kitty with the gun?  I have to send it to a friend.

More than ten seconds, which is enough time to list at least ONE. Buddy! Quickly, run over to dailykos or DU and get your ammo.

Here are a few:
She's anti-choice.
She's anti-gay.
She thinks the Alaska oilfields are the answer for all our energy problems and that the oil will last forever.

And it's quite offensive for you to accuse me of getting my politics from DK or DU.   Do you get your politics from stormfront.org?

Palin calls a press conference and says that Obama should fire his aide for using the word retard.

Rush Limbaugh says the word over and over this week and she doesn't say a word about it or to him.

I guess it is OK for republicans to say it.

Actually, Palin's spokeswoman said: "Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name-calling at the expense of others is disrespectful" in response when a reporter asked her about Rush's multiple use of "retarded."

So, although she didn't single out Limbaugh by name, it's apparent that she wasn't happy about it.

But she demanded that Emanuel be terminated.

And then her spokesperson came out and said that statement about crude and demeaning behavior was not aimed at Rush....

Talk about your double standards.

I hope Palin stays in the spotlight for a while. She's hilarious.

I have to agree, execution seems a bit excessive.

Republicans are a minority.  It (seems like it) has always been acceptable for a minority to use derogatory terms within its own group.

Gotta love those minority rights.

Well I guess I am an idiot to because I am pro-life and in favor of drilling in Alaska. That would be quite offensive to me if I had thin skin.

Read through some earlier posts because her "camp" has responded.

And this is what she said on her Sunday interview with Chris Wallace  http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/AP/story/1467962.html  I find it interesting that she called for a cease and desist to name calling right after calling a bunch of people "kooks".   Apparently she does not practice what she preaches. 

On another issue, Palin offered two different reactions to two high profile public figures who last week called people retarded or retards.

The mother of a child with Down Syndrome, Palin joined others last week in criticizing White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for calling liberals "retarded" in a closed door meeting. She called it a slur and demanded he be fired.

On Sunday, she said his apology was not enough to make up for his slur or his own performance as chief of staff.

"I think he should step down," she said.

She also told Foxnews.com in a separate interview posted Sunday that Emanuel's use of words were demeaning.

"He didn't just use the r-word applying it to a plan, he called opponents of a plan 'f'ing' retards. That's demeaning, degrading, it's beneath the dignity of the White House.

That alone should I think make the president ask for that do-over with his chief of staff," she said.

She said, however, it was different when conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh ridiculed the idea it was offensive to call people retarded.

"Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards 'retards,"" Limbaugh said, also calling liberals "kooks."

"He was hysterical in that," Palin said Sunday. "They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was using satire."

She added, "name-calling by anyone - it's just unnecessary. It just wastes time. Let's speak to the issues and, again, let's move on."

Best quote on that:

"You attack me on Facebook?  What are you, fourteen?"

Great stuff.

I thought the rest of the quote was even better:

"Poke me again, and I will write s--t on your wall so obsene your computer will cry. Go back to the tundra, you f--king gimmick!"

And I thought him referring to the ConservaDems who outed him on WSJ as 'turncoats' was pretty funny.  Hell, the whole thing was pretty funny, actually.  Samberg cracks me up.  His little SNL shorts (D*cK in Box, Lazy Sunday, etc) are usually enough to garner a chuckle out of me.
