The subtle bigotry of Rahm Emanuel

.
So, here we have it. The President insults those with physical and mental challenges with his bowling blunder.... The democrat Senate Majority Leader and his"no Negro dialect" nonsense... and now we have the President's own Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel using his foot-wide tin ears to screw up again with his "retard" remark:
Emanuel was quoted in the Journal last week making the comment during an August meeting with some liberal activists who were threatening to run TV ads against conservative Democrats hesitant to embrace President Obama's approach to health care reform. "F**king retarded," was his response to the plan, witnesses told the Journal. He later called Special Olympics head Tim Shriver to apologize.
The problem I have with all of this rests primarily with the two-faced position of the democrat party concerning minorities and those with physical and mental challenges.

On one hand, they claim to be the party that represents those less fortunate. They claim to be the voice for those who can't speak for themselves.

Isn't it obvious that such a claim is a sham? Isn't it obvious that those leading the democrat party use this as a veneer... a sham.... to fool the very people they hold in such low regard?

Memo to the democrats: you not only have to talk the talk.... you gotta walk the walk.

Just sayin.
