Palin's campaign against the "R-word" hits snag with Limbaugh

[beowolfe]

Sarah Palin's campaign against the derogatory usage of the word "retard" collided with her campaign to maintain her popularity with conservatives today, with confusing results.

A Palin spokeswoman seemed to back away from earlier criticism of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. Yesterday, when asked for comment on Limbaugh's use of the "r" word in a recent broadcast, Palin spokeswoman told Greg Sargent of the Washington Post, "Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name-calling at the expense of others is disrespectful." Today, Stapleton claims the statement was meant generally and she was not specifically referring to Limbaugh. Still, she declined to say that Palin believes Limbaugh's statements were acceptable. Sargent reprinted the email he sent Stapleton in which he specifically asked about Limbaugh's statement.

Palin's non-rebuke rebuke of Limbaugh comes after she called on President Obama, earlier in the week, to fire his chief of staff after using the word

The hypocrisy of the right has reached a tipping point. Sarah Palin is a classless bimbo and deserves her rightful spot on Faux News.

No a CELEBUTARD in lipstick.

RUSH: This ad's working. This ad's working. They're not going to throw him under the bus. He's exactly right. She looks at the term celebrity as a pejorative. See, they are so offended. That's why they're out there saying, "This is going to diminish McCain. This is going to make him look small in so many people's eyes." Wrong. It's correctly identifying Obama -- and his audience! His audience is a bunch of celebutards, and he's a celebutard, and they know it. If they are so concerned about how this is diminishing McCain, then they should ask McCain to keep doing these kind of commercials. If these commercials hurt McCain, why, they ought to be out there saying, "Great ads, Senator! You need to expand on this theme that Obama is nothing but a celebutard."

November 4, 2008
RUSH: Well, it depends on the celebutard in order to answer this question. For example, Oprah. You look at Oprah. She's a billionaire, right?

Tell us again how you are an 'independant.'

Fraud.

Fraud.

Independent means Independent from BOTH sides..And that means calling out people on BOTH sides (Including Failin Palin) when they screw up.

And if you had been here any amount of time, you'd know he never does that.

In short, learn something about the people here before jumping in.

Limbaugh makes fun of Immanuel using the word, and Palin should somehow be upset with him? Why?

It's just retarded

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Limbaugh has all his show transcribed, and you can, if you pay a fee, get the transcripts for the comments in question.

I read his transcripts. It is obvious that Palin did not listen or did not.

Limbaugh exclusively commented on Emmanuel's use of the term, and what Emmanuel did after he was called on it. He made no comments of his own that could be derogatory, just quoted Emmanuel. On that basis, all the posters here who commeted are equally guilty.

Clear your mind and see what he said not what you want it to mean.

Me too. Here's the transcript.

Folks, there is so much apologizing going on from members of this administration, it's just amazing. First place, there's Rahm Emanuel out there who is in big trouble for calling liberals, for calling liberal activists F-ing retards. Sarah Palin demanded that he be fired. Instead, he is apologizing to liberal activists. He was getting mad at them about health care. The liberal activists kept blaming the White House for all this health care debacle not happening and not getting done. Emanuel's getting ticked off out there saying, (paraphrasing) "What are you blaming us for? We didn't do anything about it, you F-ing retards." I think the big news is the crack-up going on. But our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are "retards," "retards." I mean these people, these liberal activists are kooks. They are Looney Tunes. I'm not going to apologize for it. I'm just quoting Emanuel. It's in the news. I think the big news is that he's out there calling Obama's number one supporters "F-ing retards."

Now explain to us how Limbaugh is commenting exclusively on Emanuel's use of the term when he says, "But our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are "retards," "retards." ".

Emanuel didn't get upset about it since he's the one who said it. Who exactly got upset about Emanuel's use of the word? It wasn't liberals. Oh, that's right! It was Palin!!

 

[sboyle24]

People argue about the darndest things!

 

[Stephanie]

Well this thread must have the lefties creaming in their jeans. it has BOTH Palin and Limbaugh in it..

just the other day the lefties were screaming about how she shouldn't be so sensitive about A WORD , but today they attack her again because she didn't go after Rush for saying the same word...

you just can't make this kind of comedy up.

Then you must BE CON$ervative CELEBUTARD Palin because you obviously didn't listen or read, either that or you are a pathological liar like Stuttering LimpTard!!

How on Earth is calling a meeting between Emanuel and some people with mental disabilities "a RETARD summit" exclusively commenting on Emanual's USE of the term????????? Your MessiahRushie called people with mental disabilities, like CELEBUTARD Palin's son, RETARDS!!!

Provide a link to Emanuel calling his apology at the White House a "RETARD SUMMIT."

The President's Chief of Staff Apologizes to "F-ing Retards"
February 3, 2010
RUSH: Now, Emanuel is taking his contrition one step farther -- hosting a delegation of advocates, including two people with mental disabilities, at the White House." They're going to have a "Retard" Summit just like they had the Beer Summit.
