> not going to apologize for it. I'm just quoting
> Emanuel. It's in the news. I think the big news

> supporters "F-ing retards."
>
> So now there's going to be a meeting, there's
> going to be a "Retard" Summit at the White House,
> much like the Beer Summit between Obama and Gates
> and that cop in Cambridge...
>
> From the Wall Street Journal: "Emanuel Steps Up
> His Apology -- Rahm Emanuel privately apologized
> last week to the Special Olympics after the
> Journal reported that he used the word 'retarded'
> in a derogatory manner. But advocates for people
> with disabilities didn’t think that apology,
> coming in a phone call to Special Olympics head
> Tim Shriver, was enough. 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. But, folks, let's not forget,
> Obama insulted the Special Olympics on The Tonight
> Show. I haven't forgotten this. You know, here's
> the thing. If you want to look at how this is
> broken down, Emanuel compares Democrat activists
> to retarded people, then apologizes to retarded
> people. Not to the Democrats.
>
> Normally if you call somebody a retard, you
> apologize to them for calling them a retard. But
> he has apologized to the retarded people for
> daring to lump them with Democrats. It's
> hilarious. So in an effort, ladies and gentlemen,
> to quell rising questions about the endless
> apologies necessary from Democrats, Obama is
> taking a short bus, little yellow bus full of
> "retards" -- "F-ing retards" -- to Las Vegas for
> the weekend. Senator Harry Reid expressed
> appreciation for the gesture and hoped that none
> of the "F-ing retards" spoke with a Negro dialect.
> Arne Duncan, the secretary of education, will
> also be with the delegation in Las Vegas, bringing
> some undereducated children from Katrina-ravaged
> New Orleans. The goal is to teach them not to
> gamble with their college fund. I mean that's
> what we have learned from what is happening with
> this administration. If this were Republicans
> making these statements, there wouldn't be any
> forgiveness. There would be calls for
> resignation. There would be calls for public
> humiliation. There would be calls for fines...
>
> USH: I referenced a moment ago that Rahm Emanuel
> with his "F-ing retard" comment and Obama, you
> remember, had gone out on The Tonight Show and
> he'd made fun of Special Olympics bowlers. Well,
> here, let's go back in time and remember how that
> happened.
>
> (playing of Obama prepping for the Tonight Show
> spoof)
>
> RUSH: He said it. "I bowl like I'm in the Special
> Olympics," President Obama.
>
> BREAK TRANSCRIPT
>
> RUSH: You know, folks, seriously -- and you may
> not know this. This uproar over Rahm Emanuel
> calling Democrat activists "F-ing retards,"
> demonstrates the power of Sarah Palin. It was
> Sarah Palin who, on her Facebook page this week,
> demanded that Obama fire Emanuel. But this
> comment is from last August! The "F-ing retard"
> comment, he made it last August. Of course our
> State-Controlled Media buddies tell us that she's
> "irrelevant" and she's "stupid" and so forth and
> "she would be the instant death of the Republican
> Party." She's the one that got all this brouhaha
> going.

> BREAK TRANSCRIPT

> RUSH: This is Gail, Barrington, Illinois, nice to
> have you on the Rush-Limbaugh program. Hi.
>
> CALLER: Hi, Rush. Love you, listened to you for
> lots of year but I was distressed by your comments
> on Rahm Emanuel's reference to retarded persons.
>
> RUSH: Hm-hm.
>
> CALLER: And I was distressed because you took the
> view as though his comments were an insult to the
> liberal Democrats, which I'm sure Sarah Palin
> wouldn't have cared about anyway. The reason they
> were so offensive is because by using the term
> "retarded" or "retards" as a term of opprobrium or
> derision is insulting to all persons with mental
> disability.
>
> RUSH: Right. But the point I was making was that
> Emanuel compares Democrats to retarded people and
> then apologized to the retarded people, which, in
> turn is not a complimentary thing to say about the
> Democrats, either. It's sort of like if I would
> compare Obama to a rat and somebody said, "Don't
> do that, you're insulting rats." This is the same
> thing. Rahm Emanuel is comparing Democrats to
> retarded people. People say, "Don't insult
> retarded people that way." That's my take on it.
>
> CALLER: I think he and a lot of people in our
> society use those terms as a way to denigrate
> those people. It is not polite. It can be
> hurtful. And I think that in a lot of your
> comments, it sounded to me as though you were
> repeating that.
>
> RUSH: Well, I was. I was trying to focus
> attention on, once again, a loose lipped Democrat.
> These guys get away with insulting people left
> and right, they're never called on it, and so if
> Rahm Emanuel can say it, I'll just jump in to
> highlight the fact that another Democrat, this
> time the president's chief of staff, is out there
> talking this way.
>
> CALLER: Well, and I agree with you on that point.
> I just felt as though your comment, it seemed to
> me to underline the idea that the insult was to
> the Democrats, and it's not, the insult is to the
> people with disabilities.
>
> RUSH: No, no, no. I know the insult is to
> retarded people but those are not my words. Those
> are not my words. And, by the way, I gotta tell
> you something. When I grew up, this is to show
> you how society has changed, retarded is what they
> were called even by the schools. When I grew up,
> that's what they were called. It's only recently
> that that's become a pejorative.
>
> CALLER: Well, you know, and I don't have a
> problem if someone is discussing an actual person
> with mental retardation in appropriate -- I mean,
> I have a son with developmental disabilities. And
> if I were discussing it with, you know, someone at
> the school or we were discussing him in a clinical
> way and saying that he had mental retardation,
> it's not the current term, but to me that would
> not be an insult. Yet if somebody referred to him
> as a retard --
>
> RUSH: Like Rahm Emanuel did.
>
> CALLER: Well, and the way Rahm Emanuel referred
> to him was in fact insulting. But I thought that
> your comments that the insult was to the
> Democrats, not to the people who were denigrated
> --
>
> RUSH: Well, maybe I didn't express it right, but
> the point is I just found it funny that Rahm
> Emanuel, the first thing he did was compared
> liberal activists to retarded people and then
> apologized to the retarded people for doing that
> as though it's an insult to be called a Democrat.
> And --
>
> CALLER: Well --
>
> RUSH: As I told you, it's just like if I were to
> call Obama a rat, "No, no, no, don't insult rats
> that way." So here's Emanuel, who has called
> Democrats retarded, and the retort is, "Don't
> insult retarded people that way by calling them
> Democrats." That was the point I was trying to
> make with the irony in Rahm Emanuel's comments.
> But you got to understand, look, this is not just
> Emanuel, it was Obama on The Tonight Show --
>
> CALLER: Special Olympics comment.
>
>
> RUSH: Special Olympics, when he bowls he looks
> like a Special Olympian or something, I mean the
> dirty little secret is all these pejoratives and
> all these politically incorrect terms, Democrats
> use them all the time in private conversation and
> they never get held to account for it. Rahm
> Emanuel made this comment back in August. Did you
> know that, Gail?
>
> CALLER: I did, because I was listening to you
> earlier and you referred to it. Yep. No, I agree
> with you about the double standard, and I agree
> with you that it was offensive, but it is not
> clear from your comments that the reason why it is
> so offensive is because it is used as a pejorative
> --
>
> RUSH: No, no, no --
>
> CALLER: -- denigrating as an opprobrium against a
> whole class --
>
> RUSH: You've gotta cut me some slack. I've been
> here 20-plus years. You've got to know that I
> know that that's a pejorative comment. It's the
> reason I kept repeating it is to never let people
> forget that it was Rahm Emanuel who said it. It's
> like Harry Reid and the Negro dialect, I kept
> talking about that, "Yeah, he's light-skinned and
> he doesn't speak with a Negro dialect except when
> he wants to." And sure enough the next day I
> caught grief as though I had originated the
> comment. That's the way the press works. Anyway,
> Gail, I'm glad you called. I appreciate the
> opportunity to clarify any confusion that existed
> out there.
>
> Let's go to John in Crofton, Maryland. You're
> next. Great to have you, sir. Hello.
>
> CALLER: How you doing, Rush?
>
> RUSH: Good.
>
> CALLER: You always catch flak whether you deserve
> it or not. The way I took it was that Rahm
> Emanuel, who's supposed to be, you know, such a
> masterful politician, he got caught in the act of
> being himself, and liberals, Democrats, to me
> they're synonymous, they're supposed to care for
> these protected classes of people like the
> disabled or whatever they call them, and the
> Special Olympics people.
>
> RUSH: Exactly. They're the ones have all the
> compassion --
>
> CALLER: Yeah.
>
> RUSH: -- and the understanding and the tolerance
> --
>
> CALLER: But see, this is showing the hypocrisy
> --
>
> RUSH: Right.
>
> CALLER: -- and I think that's what you were
> trying to point out.
>
> RUSH: Right, exactly.
>
> CALLER: Absolutely.
>
> RUSH: And they're fighting for these people while
> out there calling Democrats "F-ing retards" and so
> forth. I mean these people are phony baloney,
> plastic banana, good-time rock 'n' rollers.
