Special Olympics to Rahm Emanuel: Apology not accepted
posted at 5:46 pm on February 3, 2010 by Allahpundit
Or rather: Apology unacceptable — literally.
Not a fight I would have picked, but it’s fun to watch Rahm squirm, I guess.
Seeking to damp down the controversy over Rahm Emanuel’s reported, months-old use of the word, a White House official yesterday told me and other reporters that Emanuel had called Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver to apologize.
“The apology was accepted,” the official said yesterday.
The vice president for communications at the Special Olympics, Kirsten Seckler, told me that this account of the conversation is “inaccurate.”
“Tim didn’t accept his apology,” she said. “Tim can’t do that. He can’t accept an apology on behalf of all people with disabilities.”
Having been informed that his apology can’t be accepted, Rahm duly apologized again and promised to sign an online pledge to end the use of “retarded.” Which is super, but (a) given what a sharp comic sensibility can do with the word, I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon, and (b) the fact that Rahm’s malice was directed at lefty activists and not at the mentally disabled is going to lead a lot of people to shrug this off. It’s a White House version of that South Park episode when the boys started calling obnoxious Harley riders “fags.” Is a slur that’s traditionally used to denigrate group A still offensive when it’s reappropriated for group B?

Why is it that they keep changing the words? It seams like the more they change them the worse they get.
I mean I would rather be called. Mentally Retarded (As in slow) than Intellectually Disabled. That can only be translated into stupid.
PCdom is bigoted at it’s core and new words are used to cover that fact up.

Just like with whites and blacks. Black is now African American. Before, hey your skin is a different color. Now, hey you’re a different kind of American. Of course that’s even changed again to Person of Color. In other words you have whites and others.

That’s exactly the point actually.
Esthier on February 3, 2010 at 6:25 PM
There are so many people in here whining about jokes, its embarrassing. If your sensibilities cannot handle hearing the “R” word, What the hell are you doing on the internet? Wanting to ban a guy from a forum because he made a joke using the word “retarded”. You disgust me.

Which people could just as easily do while saying “developmentally disabled.” Except “retard” is quicker and easier to say. I remember kids doing the hand thing when I was in middle school whenever the bus passed by the special needs school, however I don’t see adults doing that.
darii on February 3, 2010 at 6:28 PM
I don’t care how many times he apologizes. He has to learn that if he’s going to pick up a paycheck working for someone of diminished capacity, he’s going to be respectful.
anniekc on February 3, 2010 at 6:28 PM
The real issue is Sarah Palin’s opportunistic word police hypocrisy I think… the lack of self-awareness she’s displayed in this affair is truly unbelievable, and what she’s revealed is that at heart she’s every bit as much the cajoling harridan as Bloomberg.
Shrieking for the man’s job over something he said in private a year ago.
That’s just not America, Sarah.
Settle down.
happyfeet on February 3, 2010 at 6:28 PM
Now that I think about it…..doesn’t the Special Olympics host people of all disabilities not just mental ones? Should paraplegics be offended that Rahm considers them to be retarded?
clement on February 3, 2010 at 6:29 PM
I know. The mentally handicapped are way smarter than the nutroots. XD
darii on February 3, 2010 at 6:30 PM
Also- with Fairy tu-tu’s history of potty mouth remarks, I’m confident this isn’t the first time he’s tossed out the “r” bomb.
anniekc on February 3, 2010 at 6:30 PM
That’s my point. Trying to couch your language all the time because some guy somewhere is going to be offended will make this a pretty sucky place to live.
Bishop on February 3, 2010 at 6:30 PM
When I was a child, my sibs, and I had a friend, with special needs. Her name was Debbie. We were a mere 8, 9, 10…around that age, and she was a teenager. She loved taking care of us. Of course she would never be a babysitter, but she loved coming down, and just playing with us, and keeping an eye on us for mom. We loved her back. We also remember the taunts of other neighborhood children, hurling “retard” at her on a daily basis. This word was never used in kindness toward her. Always with malice, and cruelty.
I can see why the word offends parents, or anyone close to those peope with mental disablities. I won’t use the word retard, not because I believe it’s a bad word, but in the tone with which I’ve heard it used.
Rahm used it in that hateful, cruel tone. He was calling his fellow dems this name, thus, making the comparison to those with special needs. So in what tone do you use this word?
If Rahm was right in this, he NEVER would have apologized at all.
capejasmine on February 3, 2010 at 6:31 PM
Unless its an old man’s birthday party
Then its OK to shriek for a man’s job
Riiiiiight
macncheez on February 3, 2010 at 6:31 PM
Actually, the Special Olympics head seemed kinda arbitrary. Reminds me of the South Park where Randy says the n-word on Wheel of Fortune and has to “apologize” to Jessie Jackson. When Stan tells Token about it, Token replies, “What? Do you think Jessie Jackson is king of the black people?”
darii on February 3, 2010 at 6:32 PM
Isn’t it funny that everyone is upset over the use of the word “retarded”, but just ignore the word F#$#%ing that he used right before it???
What a country!
bridgetown on February 3, 2010 at 6:32 PM
I guess it depends on your definition of adult.
And yes people can call others developmentally disabled, and it would be just the same as calling them retarded. That’s exactly my point actually. That when you call someone retarded, you’re intending to compare them to people born with a mental disability.
Esthier on February 3, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Can you imagine if Karl Rove had said this when he was COS to Dubya?
Dire Straits on February 3, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Vice President Biden is rather high strung, isn’t he.
darii on February 3, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Some people are just determined to be rude, thoughtless, and insensitive. They resent being asked not to be.
Plenty of knuckles dragging on this thread, frankly. I’m a bit surprised. I thought more of people here.
capitalist piglet on February 3, 2010 at 6:34 PM
I thought you said you were taking a break from Hot Air yesterday after you made a fool of yourself by insinuating that Sarah Palin claimed that Rahm called them retarded children when she used the term “God’s children?”
Joe Caps on February 3, 2010 at 6:35 PM
She’s doing it right , she’s crushing the “we care for the little people” image of the liberals.
the_nile on February 3, 2010 at 6:36 PM
Are you serious? That’s exactly what America is. We’ve been playing that game for years. I’m not saying I agree with it, but if this is the first time you’ve had a problem with it, than you’re a hypocrite.
1. There is a difference between using a slur and saying something offensive. Or do you go around saying the n-word whenever you want to?
2. Public officials should be doing exactly that. They shouldn’t even be calling nutroots people nutsroots or stupid or ugly. He should be a bit more professional.
Esthier on February 3, 2010 at 6:37 PM
I guess. But ultimately, since words signify by convention, I would say the majority of the 7 words you can’t say on TV have lost most of their sheer offensiveness. Plus, when you use the f-bomb as an intensifier, it’s really not all that offensive (compared to telling someone: “Go f@#k yourself” to quote a favorite Vice President).
Although, I’m guessing your observation was more rhetorical than anything else. ;)
darii on February 3, 2010 at 6:38 PM
you know, these shrivers are kennedys
kelley in virginia on February 3, 2010 at 6:40 PM
SP should have gone screaming into Rahm’s office, jumped on his desk and started stabbing it with a knife while screaming death threats. Turn the tables on the spawn of Peter Lorre. /sarc
ontherocks on February 3, 2010 at 6:41 PM
Apologize now, sh!thead. Not even close to funny.
AP, this is beyond the pale.
TXUS on February 3, 2010 at 6:42 PM
Is “retarded” a slur like the “n-word”? I guess I’m getting old. My cousin was brain damaged at birth and we always used the word retarded. It never occurred to me that it was offensive.
entropent on February 3, 2010 at 6:43 PM
For the record, Emanuel’s remarks were reported on Jan 28th by the WSJ. Not at the time of the remark. Thus the call out by Sarah Palin on Feb 1st.
WSJ-http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703808904575025030384695158.html?mod=WSJ_WSJ_US_News_5
Buckeye Babe on February 3, 2010 at 6:43 PM
So the fact that Rahm made an , in my opinion, offensive remark against those with special needs, in comparing them, with his liberal colleagues, not to mention the profanity with that, then add Obama’s slight of tongue last year, when he referenced special needs people to describe his bowling…and you don’t see a trend here? Like minds?
On the job issue of firing, I think that’s a bit much, but I can totally see why Sarah, or anyone with a special needs child, or member of their family might take offense in this.
capejasmine on February 3, 2010 at 6:44 PM
So my Hot Air friends agree with Sarah Palin that Mr. Emanuel should lose his job cause of what he said?
That’s very progressive.
happyfeet on February 3, 2010 at 6:44 PM
Nope. I want him out of his job for other reasons.
bridgetown on February 3, 2010 at 6:45 PM

I am almost impossible to shock, but it would help if he didn’t have a brother who thinks that “those effin’retards. should be euthanized. Must have been some great child- rearing stuff in the Emmanuel Sr. home.
katy the mean old lady on February 3, 2010 at 6:46 PM
I hope he doesn’t lose his job. I want him to keep leading Team Obie over the cliff!
Dire Straits on February 3, 2010 at 6:46 PM
I think we’re missing the bigger point. It isn’t about what word Rahm used. Rather, it’s about the fact that Rahm’s an arrogant ass; as is with everyone in the Obama Administration.
- The Cat
MirCat on February 3, 2010 at 6:47 PM
I’m all for progress, but would never consider myself a liberal progressive. Their kind of progression destroys countries, and hurts people.
As for Rahm….nah. He’ll be losing it soon enough. In 2012. ;)
capejasmine on February 3, 2010 at 6:47 PM
Whatever happened to “Sticks and stones….”?
We sure have turned into an ultra-sensitive society. I’m not suggesting we all go around calling one-another street language names, but it really helps to shrug it off and do as my parents taught; consider where it comes from.
No matter how much I detest the things that have been said, they still have the Right to say them. I just try to remember that you have the Right to say it but it might not be right to say.

portlandon on February 3, 2010 at 6:54 PM
I agree with #2, but voters chose ‘the Chicago way’ for the White House.
Re #1, ultimately, I can’t disagree with you that retard can be used as a slur. However, it seems odd that retard, unlike most other slurs, is primarily hurled at those who are not in fact retarded.
Ultimately, I’m not for using slurs. However, since words signify by convention. My experience with the word “retard” is that it is not primarily used to demean the mentally handicapped but to insinuate that someone is really stupid. Ultimately, it seems to me that through such repetitious conventional usage, the word “retard” has lost to a large degree its status as a slur, in the minds of most people.
Thus, when groups like the Special Olympics or various individuals get up in arms about the use of retard, a word which is losing its status as a slur against a specific group of people, it feels like a mountain is being made out of a molehill (or at least a mountain is being made out of a largish pile of dirt).
darii on February 3, 2010 at 6:55 PM
Heh.
HornetSting on February 3, 2010 at 6:56 PM
The real issue is that Rahm is a strident, unapologetically derisive, unsympathetic person who has duly earned the antipathy and hearty disdain of many people. He has a history of bullying, strong-arming, sending dead fish, and foul-mouthed adversarial attacks. Rahm is a thoroughly despicable nasty customer.
Just as many people had little patience or understanding or sympathy for the snotty, uppity Martha Stewart (who looks angelic by comparison to Rahm), they are happy to see Emanuel meet his comeuppance and sweat it out and be denied an acceptance of his “apology.”
Thank goodness Cheney (another person people love to hate)just called someone a “f’ing a’hole.” People went crackers, it was embarrassing, but at least he didn’t offend and demean a defenseless portion of our society.

Exactly right.
capejasmine on February 3, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Going PC, after being caught not being PC.
Rahm needs to resign. He missed, he failed. Like any Pub who uses the word ‘macaca’, Rahm should be held to the same Dem standard, b the tenets of his own Party. A Dem should know better after all, shouldn’t he? Since Pubs are ignorant, and don’t know what’s right r wrong without liberal ‘enlightenment’, should a Dem who knows better be held to higher account?
That’s only ‘fair’, right?
Liam on February 3, 2010 at 7:00 PM
Hornet! Where have you been lately? We missed you last weekend with Ann in overdrive.
conservative pilgrim on February 3, 2010 at 7:00 PM
Apparently many Conservatives lack empathy for others – just like liberals. If it isn’t personal they can dismiss others being offended and call them too thin-skinned. For Palin and others who developmentally disabled family and friends this is personal.
Now personally the use of the n word doesn’t offend me because it doesn’t apply to me. However I acknowledge it as an unacceptable word because it does offend those in the black community. I respect their feeling that they are demeaned by its use. A pity that the same consideration can’t be extended to the disabled.
katiejane on February 3, 2010 at 7:01 PM
Agreed. Although, it is an offensive term (as is “idiot” or “moron” or “idiot”) insofar as the one who is called a retard, or moron, or idiot is likely to be offended. Of course with your note about tone of voice and context.
But ultimately (I think this is your point), is it a word which in and of itself offends? Nah, not really.
darii on February 3, 2010 at 7:01 PM
OMG~I heard AND READ~your slug recipe made me laugh up a lung~I was out of town!
HornetSting on February 3, 2010 at 7:02 PM
We’re not ‘progressives’. You always claim to be. So, yes–by YOUR standard, the one you have set but always seek to change at a whim, Rahm should resign. Being a ‘progressive’, he should have known better. You all are ‘enlightened’, aren’t you?
Liam on February 3, 2010 at 7:03 PM
We are not your friends, toad load.
HornetSting on February 3, 2010 at 7:03 PM
Rahm is to apology as a vampire is to crucifix. Just keep him busy on damage control, sorry is not in his toolbox.

What are you, a wannabe politician?
kingsjester on February 3, 2010 at 7:05 PM
Whatever.
I think Palin’s complaint was kinda petty (I didn’t find the statement offensive), but I didn’t take the call for Rahm to step down/get the sack terribly seriously. It just seemed like part of an attempt to score some political points.
darii on February 3, 2010 at 7:06 PM
ANYTHING that weakens the hand of the Marxist Progressive Caliph in the White House is a great thing.
Rahm…….say it again, O’Keefe can you get inside the White House with a camera?
PappyD61 on February 3, 2010 at 7:07 PM
The same way the term ‘macaca’ WASN’T a political maneuver, you mean?
And don’t try saying you didn’t have a problem with that at the time. If you did or nit, it’ll just be weak and quite without credibility.
Liam on February 3, 2010 at 7:10 PM
It just seemed like part of an attempt to score some political points.
Yes. Yes it did.
But how many times can she pull this sort of stunt and still be Sarah Palin?
I think she’s decidedly less freedomy for indulging in this sort of trumped-up politically correct stunt.
Something tells me guys especially might be more wary of her going forward. She’s a lot more like that one chick at the office now than she was last week.
You know the one.
happyfeet on February 3, 2010 at 7:13 PM
When the mentally disabled are upset at being equivalanced to liberal activists, the liberal activists need to rethink why this is the case.
unclesmrgol on February 3, 2010 at 7:13 PM
Y’know, come to think of it, isn’t there a recording from back when our president

Goodness, what kind of president could be such close friends with such a person…rogerb on February 3, 2010 at 7:13 PM
Since the Special Olympics doesn’t accept Rahm’s ‘apology’, the same way Al Sharpton wnt nuts over praise for Strom Thurmond, Rahm needs to resign immediately. Innocent or not, he screwed up. Being a Dem and a liberal, he should have known better. So his gaffe is all the more serious than Pubs who are ‘ignorant’ and ‘unenlightened’.
Liam on February 3, 2010 at 7:13 PM
That was my slug recipe, and thanks.

Oh no, but all means let Rahm keep his job. We just got a whole class of voters to come over to our side.
Maybe we can have Mr. Emanuel address the race question a few more times. That ought to get the idea across…
unclesmrgol on February 3, 2010 at 7:16 PM
But how many times can she pull this sort of stunt and still be Sarah Palin?
Despite your twisting, Palin isn’t the issue in Rahm’s statements. Rahms’ statements are the matter. They stand on their own, for what they’re worth. Palin is an aside, the same way your pitiable and decrepit defense of a bigot are an aside.

ladyingray on February 3, 2010 at 7:23 PM
I’m not sure that’s necessarily true. If mentally handicapped people weren’t still called retarded, then they wouldn’t be taking offense at the word. They wouldn’t associate it with their own handicap, and neither would we.
The problem is that the reason the word is insulting is because it’s being used to compare someone to someone with a mental handicap. Retarded doesn’t just mean stupid. It goes a step beyond that.
Esthier on February 3, 2010 at 7:24 PM
On reflection, I think Palin probably is truly offended by the term retard given that she has a special needs child. However, it seems that Sarah made a bigger deal out of this than she should have for three reasons:
1) Rahm wasn’t referring to people who were actually mentally disabled.
2) I don’t think most people are deeply offended by the term “retard” (which Sarah ought to recognize) and therefore wouldn’t think this is an issue which merits someone losing their job.
3) It was a private conversation (if I remember correctly).
I don’t doubt Sarah’s conviction. But given the context surrounding this incident, I think she overreacted and it seemed like she was trying to score political points by calling for Rahm to resign.
darii on February 3, 2010 at 7:25 PM
BTW, happyfeet: in a court of law, an apology is a tacit admission of guilt. Who apologized, but Rahm?
So where oh where is Palin somehow at fault for what RAHM did and tacitly admitted to? Tell us: should Rahm resign for his statements, or should Palin quit her job at Fox for calling him on his shit?
Liam on February 3, 2010 at 7:26 PM
Don’t worry about credibility or nit-picking, or whether SP was right or wrong.
He’s the cretinous chief of staff for a marxist president. Both are enemies to our freedoms. He’s a picture perfect target of opportunity to be vilified until the burden of his defense becomes too much relative to the execution of his responsibilities. It can only further weaken a wobbly political structure. This is not the time to pull punches. There is too much at stake.
ontherocks on February 3, 2010 at 7:28 PM
This was just a facebook post right? If so, I’d have a hard time making a big deal out of it.
Esthier on February 3, 2010 at 7:31 PM
Such an easy term to use: ‘overracted’. So open, so subjective. It’s a way of trying to still a medium response to an outrageous comment, so ease the harm to the F-head who was outrageous in the first place.
Tell us: did Rahm ‘overreact’, or not? Take your pick, for your own bigotry. Any terms you use can be applied to both sides.

After what Olbermann ranted about Scott Brown, with no one on the Left calling him on it, there’s no Leftie who has place to say anyone on the Right ‘overreacted’ to what any Leftist says. Olbie basically negated the Left’s right to complain anywhere, anytime.

ted c on February 3, 2010 at 7:39 PM
Not so much really. Ask yourself this question, Liam… did Sarah Palin’s eruption of shrieky politically correct harridanism result in increased usage of the offending term or do you think she decreased such usage?
Maybe we can ask Ace what he thinks.
happyfeet on February 3, 2010 at 7:39 PM
The mentally disabled are for ‘conservatives’ what minorities are for ‘liberals’. You tell a joke involving their respective golden calves at your own peril!

FIFY.
HornetSting on February 3, 2010 at 7:45 PM
Point proven.
A liberal would have simply struck out ‘mentally disabled’ and left ‘minorities’.
Dark-Star on February 3, 2010 at 7:46 PM
The Dems are actually trying to steal an election, unlike when the tinfoil-hatters screamed about TEH EVUL BOOOSH in 2000.
Dark-Star on February 3, 2010 at 7:48 PM
Yeah, I don’t think commenters here would stand for offensive jokes about other minorities either.
darii on February 3, 2010 at 7:48 PM
That defines your spin. But again, it’s not about Palin though you want to twist is that way. Again, since you haven’t gotten the point the first 500 times it’s been brought up, the issue isn’t Palin. The issue is what Rahm Emanuel said.
So, like you’re defending Rahm, I take it. You complaint isn’t what he said, that it might be wrong. YOUR complaint is the reaction to it, that people think it was vile. WE, and Palin, are the ‘bad’ ones in your eyes, aren’t we? Not Rahm. And that’s okay, that you stay in that closet you hide in, trying to be ‘reasonable’ and ‘caring’ and ‘fair’, while all the time being dishonest and untrue to your own self.
Liam on February 3, 2010 at 7:49 PM
You never watched Carlos Mencina, did you? He ranks on everybody! And, yes–I get a kick from his stand-up routine on whites, too.
Liam on February 3, 2010 at 7:51 PM
So, what should I be doing about this? Comment on a Scott Brown thread instead?
I doubt anyone here is going to lose focus of the Democrats’ attempts to jam their agenda through just because we’re commenting on Rahm Emmanuel being an a-hole and Sarah Palin not liking him being an a-hole.
darii on February 3, 2010 at 7:53 PM
If they sneak this guy in tomorrow, card check is in play and so’s every union

And hey happyfeet, why don’t you try a healthy dose of Dick Cheney’s GFYS on for size. This isn’t AOS. You’re lost. Why don’t you go bother Ace.
ontherocks on February 3, 2010 at 7:53 PM
I hate Rahm he’s a dirty socialist meanie face.

darii on February 3, 2010 at 7:55 PM
Political correctness is a favorite tool of the Left and is generally destructive. Look at the extreme forms of it in Great Britain these days as an example.
It is fun and effective, however, to skewer leftists like Emanuel with their own weapons- hoisting them on their own petard, so to speak.
And that’s petard with a p.
