Rahm Emanuel is known for his foul mouth and bully attitude. What he said was in poor taste, immature, and flat out inappropriate, but it was said in a closed room to his associates, and was not directed at people who have a real reason to take offense. Rush Limbaugh purposely put his comments out there on the airwaves to be heard by millions of his listeners. His use of the term r—- summit, is lower than low. Limbaugh owes much more of an apology than Emanuel, although he has been given a pass by the very person who had the loudest outcry when the original story broke.

I’ve never been a fan of Rush Limbaugh. I had high hopes for Sarah Palin and still maybe she can do good things for those with developmental disabilities. Right now I am very disappointed in the angle she has taken with Rush Limbaugh. He shouldn’ t get a pass on this. Time to move along.

She is not a spokesperson for the disability community and should not pretend to be.

Wow. I am so glad I didn’t bet money on this! I was so sure that Rush would throw her a bone and stage some sort of event where he would not agree to be PC, but would defer to a mother’s righteous rage….

I have not been a Palin fan, especially because I wasn’t sure she had what it takes to be an advocate, but she was thought of as one by default. I started to gain a little respect for her last week. Guess I’m off that hook!

What a letdown. I don’t like Palin, but I was hoping she’d use her position to become a disability rights advocate. The disabled community could use somebody that’s in the spotlight on their side. Rush is so extreme. Do all Republicans back everything he says?

Could this woman be more hypocritical? She calls on Emanuel to step down, or for the White House to fire him, and then calls the same language use “satire” or an “oversight” (as with a recent Perry aide in Texas). And to think she is a parent of a child with intellectual disabilities is just disgusting. Her lack of understanding of so many issues — this one in particular — should be reason enough for any political party to cast her off as a potential “leader” in any capacity.
