Rush, the NFL and the New CrueltyPosted Saturday, October 17, 2009, at 4:00 PM
From Jeremiah Wright, to Jimmy Carter, to Jesse Jackson, to Walter Mondale, to Jeannie Garafalo, to Al Sharpton, to Bill Clinton, to Nancy Pelosi and now the NFL, and just oodles more, have all cried racism at conservatives. In a society where the left always cries for tolerance, we see example after example of intolerance from the left. Rush Limbaugh's crime? He is a conservative. The politically correct crowd is always the most vocal when it comes for others rights to be violated or restricted, and they cry foul at every opportunity. You conservatives know what I mean. It gets old. Now it has gotten so bad that news outlets can openly spread lies about Rush, and smear him, and laugh about it. The left says they want "the rich" to invest in minority businesses. You certainly must call the NFL a minority business, as seventy percent of the players are black, and most of the profit in the NFL goes to the players union. Here comes a rich guy to invest millions into their business, and the left destroys the effort, because he is a conservative. In the end, the race mongers on the left probably did Rush Limbaugh a favor. Who wants to be involved in business with a bunch of close minded political bigots? Dog killers are okay in the NFL, but Rush Limbaugh must stay out. Also, let's stop with this nonsense that the left wants to end racism. Nothing could be further from the truth. Liberals feast on racism, they live for it, they eat it like candy. Most importantly, when it comes to keeping Obama in power, they'll fan the flames of racism and intolerance, whatever it takes to keep black Americans angry at white guys. And conservatives, let me make this observation. The left will always tell us who and what they fear. The left attacks those individuals and ideas that scare them. Look at how they went after Sarah Palin. They are scared BLEEP of Sarah Palin, and the same goes for Rush Limbaugh. Keep this simple fact in mind as the election process rolls around.

The only racism that I see in this country is the ones crying racism.
Thank you Sam, Road Dog, for bringing this subject up. For days we listened to the mainstream media and political pundits bring up the made up quotes from Rush. Very few, or perhaps none, of these people listen to Rush's show, so they rely on some nobody author of a book that listed the racist things Rush has said. Even after Rush denied ever saying these racist comments, they still went after him.
Only after the alternative media did the research, did the truth came out. No, Limbaugh did not say these things, they were merely made up. In the beginning, the left just knew Rush had to have said these things. Then, as doubt crept in, the left was just hoping these quotes were true. Now, they have nothing.
Has anyone else, who watches the "news", noticed how small these liars appear. Can you bring yourselves to even trust what they are saying.
A few months ago, this subject was brought up on a discontinued (now repackaged) blog. A certain some one who's initials are GI, said the quotes were true and directed us to a maze of websites where they could be found. Many were discontinued, but one called Snopes. I see where most of the quotes and are called "unverifiable".
Most people know what Rush said. The NFL knows. He says hateful things and he should stand up for what he says instead of backpeadeling and making up excuses. The, "they took me out of context", excuse gets old. He is a hate monger and the nfl just does not need a hate monger. So here you go, spouting off about how the nfl was wrong. I guess the right does not like it when hate mongers are held accountable for what they have said.
I guess the whole NFL is wrong and you are right chunky. Im sure the nfl did not do any reasearch, they just listened to the mainsream media and made up their minds about Rush. Barak the magic negro song must have been something they just thought they heard.
bigdawg, what did Rush say?
"Most people know what Rush said. The NFL knows. He says hateful things and he should stand up for what he says instead of backpeadeling and making up excuses". bigdawg
Anybody with a single brain cell can say that, can your back it up. And yes, context does matter.
As history has unfolded in the past few days, yes, I am right. He never denied the "Barack the magic Negro" song. And whats really racist about it? Or have you ever listened to it?
Sometimes, I think you just have to realize your not wanted and move on. Rush knew going in that there was a possibility of problems according to this article http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424...
I think when you have football players saying they wont play for a team because of a minority owner, then its probably a good idea to get rid of him. Why risk not getting a star player because of a guy that doesn't really have to be there.
I guess it dosent really matter if you think the barack song was racist or not, does it? Your opinion of that song is irrevelant, as is you opinion on who the nfl should let own teams.
I guess you see it one way and the nfl sees it a different way. Someday when you run the nfl you can let in who you want.
Yes, I have listened to the song and I thought it was completly innappropriate, but thats what rush does. Fired from espn, cant own an nfl team, see a pattern emerging here? He has shot off his mouth and now he cant own an nfl team, case closed.
bigdawg,
While I seriously doubt you have ever listened to the song, there is not rule as to who can won a NFL team. The pattern here is truth doesn't matter. Unfortunately, through your blind hatred of Rush, you can't see it.
I would argue there is a rule for who can own a team. Drug addicts, doctor shoppers, viagra popping racist,and hate spreaders are no allowed to own a team.
For 8 years if anything was said bad about the president you hated america and now its ok to play barack the magic negro. I could care less if he plays it all the time but when stuff like this happens dont bitch about it
Guill,dawg just listen to yourselves my god!
Dawg, if anyone spoke as hatefully about Pres Obama as the left did for 7 years about Pres Bush, the media would come totally unglued ...exactly as they did on Palin and Joe-the-Plumber. The right has never even tried to summon the type of overwhelming hatred that the left can (and does) call up at a moment's notice.
GI, racism in this country is almost 100% Democratic-owned. Just as the KKK was a Democratic organization, today's Democrats hide their racism under a very thin veneer. The Democrats constantly remind minorities that "they can't make it without our help," they work desperately hard to maintain government programs that destroy minority families and force minority kids to grow up in abject poverty (both financial and spiritual) and then deny them the right to choose better schools. The Democrats work frantically at keeping abortion clinics handy to minority neighborhoods. As Star Parker pointed out, through abortion the Democrats have managed to wipe out 1/4 of the black population - even with the KKK, they couldn't do nearly this much damage.
There have been some quotes out there that Rush never actually made. But here are some that have been sourced to his show, and he has not denied.
"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
"Look, let me put it this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the bloods and the crips without any weapons. There I said it."
"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).
Sam,
You say that the democratic party is keeping racism alive by "crying racism" all the time. So what is the solution in your opinion? When we see something blatantly racist, what should be done? Should it be ignored?
Ignoring it will not make racism go away. And I have first hand heard several white men in McCook use the 'n' word. Make horrible comments about hispanics and muslims. Yet I am the racist one for thinking they are racist?
Thank you MrsSmith.
It appears Iggy and bigdawg have resorted to name calling, meaning they just lost the debate.
Has anyone researched the quoted J-Lo has recently made regarding her part ownership of an NFL franchise? Hopefully you'll be shocked.
As one who has experienced real racism first hand, these quotes would only offend the hypersensitive. Namely guilt ridden white liberals. Mrs. Smith is correct, pure racist attitudes are the property of white liberals, after all, minorities in the USA cannot survive without the liberals awareness. And thats all they provide, awareness.
Guill,get a life please!
And what of Vice-President joe biden's comment on presidential candidate barack obama. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." Could this be racist?
And what about President obama's comment comparing his bowling skills to that of a Special Olympian? I'm sure there was some mean-spirited hatred there?
Are they to be excused because their liberalism?
So when the slaves were sold from Black Tribes in Africa what was it called then?
Nice try Iggy, but you fell flat. From that statement alone, joe biden is a pure evil racist. Let's not forget, he's also a plagiarist and by his attempt at a retraction, he's a liar.
Rush Limbaugh is a "American Patriot" Plain and simple.
Name calling? Rush has done every one of these things. Is Joe Biden buying an nfl team? Is obama?
Perhaps when they go to buy one we can have this discussion.
Rush Limbaugh is an "American Idiot" plain and simple.
I don't know, bigdawg, Rush is a the most popular talk show host who wanted to be in a partnership group that wanted minority ownership.
obama\biden are POTUS and V-POTUS. Maybe in your world, an NFL owner is the most important person in the world. For the rest of the world, it's POTUS and V-POTUS.
Obama,Biden buying an NFL team,not hardly.Selling out the American People yes.
It seems that this discussion has turned to pointing out who and who is not racist. This solves nothing. I want someone defending Limbaugh and who insists democrats keep racist alive to please answer my question:
When we witness something racist what are we to do, in your opinion?
Because apparently if you point out it being racist, you are truly the racist one.
gi, fredd, dawg...and the rest of you left wingers.
You want to talk about sheep, and blindly following...
Do you listen to Rush? If not, you are arguing a point in which you have no direct knowledge. You are blogging about alleged quotes from the left wing media that have a hidden agenda, and that were taken out of context. If you were a listener of his program, you would know the truth and not have to rely on a biased report from the media that is owned by the Democratic party.
Sheep...all of you.
For any sheep out there that I offended...I deeply and sincerely apologize.
Thank you Sam for this excellent post. Sure, dog killers are allowed in the NFL, and some wife beaters too. Your point about who the left is afraid of is true as well. Hubby says that liberals can not help themselves, they will attack truth. We have listened to Rush for many years. The man has never uttered a racist comment. As you so wonderfully point out again and again, it is the left, the Democratic Party that feeds in hate, in racism.
Your ability to see right through me is uncanny fredd...every since I was young, I've wanted to be an "old white male".
If I were hypersensitive, I might call you a racist for such a remark.
I see fredd is a full blown brain dead follower of the msm. Valerie Plame outed by the Bush Administration? Try outed by richard armitage.
Yes Husker23, you should be hypersensitive. You absolutely should dwell on this remark for the rest of your life. Never, ever allow yourself to grow past this date. Then you can say you have experienced racism.
gi,
You are over analyzing this. I believe that the precedent has been set that what matters most is how it makes one "feel". If one feels it was a racist remark, then it was a racist remark. From the book of Sharpton.
Just because you say "all of which is true" - doesn't mean it isn't racist. One could make many comments about each race, that is "true" yet still racist. I'll leave that to your own imagination.
Yes...it is ridiculous...that's exactly the point. But it works both ways.
Is "typical white woman" racist,(per Obama)? I would say probably not, but what if the word "white" were replaced with another race and it was spoken by any Republican? Are you the "one" of which we are to seek when deciding when true racism occurs?
There is a big difference between making a questionable comment and being a racist. That quote that you make of Rush with the "bone out of nose" was made in the 70's. Is your background so clean that you never made comments that you regret? Remember that Rush is an entertainer. Just as your idol Jon Stewart is, but apparently the double standard is alive and well in your world. Some of these comments were made in jest and some are just taken out of context. I would submit that your actions define your character.
Everyone of us (black, white, or other) has either made or heard jokes of other races (without demanding political correctness) from friends and acquintances. Does that make us racist? If so, then Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and George Lopez are some of the biggest racists.
Any group claiming racism with every comment, vote, or political persuasion of someone on the right diminishes and dilutes true racism when it does occur. Just as this "ridiculous" argument does.
It is extremely degrading to be called something when in fact you are not, isn't it?
Really, all you Limburger fans -- Coordinate your positions.
Some say -- Rush never uttered a racist word in his life.
OTHERS say -- Rush said that in the 1970s.
He and his cohorts sure didn't hesitate to express their attitudes in the 1980s and 1990s.
Limburger and Tnan Franthithco Thavage served to keep me awake many nights driving the empty roads between Reno and Hastings, Spokane and Tucson, Bentonville to El Paso, San Diego to Fargo.
Trying to claim these loose jaws are not racist, is akin to saying the KKK is an ally to the Black Panthers.
If you are going to endorse these people and all they stand for -- have the GUTS to declare what it is.
Don't take the west Texas politician Clayton Williams' route, of "When rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."
Yep, Ol' Clayton said it at a campaign stop, after a few drinks at the Elks Club bar before speaking. In front of TV cameras with live radio.
When three blades disappeared from the fan the next morning -- Ol' Clayton declared he hadn't said "....no such thing."
This in a campaign where the other candidate was Ann Richards.
It got a lot of laughs from that Elks Club crowd -- including the top honchos of both TV stations with cameras and microphones present and the owner of the radio station broadcasting live.
Word has it Rush makes $40-$50-Million annually with his bombastic pontifications.
So he is a wealthy, smart aleck Big Mouth. When he gets on a roll, truth has no place in his agenda.
Rush and the rest of these Neo-Con mouths will say whatever keeps the donations rolling in.
Back in the 1960s, I had a friend who was director of computer operations in D.C. for one of the right wing publishing outfits, which produced regular letter-sized newsletters.
Until I saw their money-counting room, I could not understand their purpose.
About 30 women sat on each side of this conveyor belt which had solid glass walls, the women were reaching in with long rubber gloves secured to the panel in front of them. They sat there in two hour sessions -- with 15 minute breaks -- emptying the envelopes which had been automatically slit open, removing checks, postal and bank money orders and cash, which they deposited in three slots in front of them.
Each woman was handling several thousand dollars during each two-hour session -- and there were 30 women there, working in three shifts, seven days weekly.
Anyway you figured it -- that was better than $1-MILLION DAILY.
My friend assured me the money operation went on 24/7, 365 days annually. Including Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day and even Ground Hog Day.
Somewhere in excess of $300-Million NET INCOME annually, with publications warning the Socialist Sky is falling, communists are taking over our government, the Democrats are trying to establish total government control, sponsor homosexuality, pot smoking and lewd behavior in liberal churches.
Wonder why the TV version exists today?
Wonder why Rush launches into his rants and diatribes on a daily basis?
Don't suppose it has anything to do with his $45-$50-Million annual income -- OR DOES IT??
Liberal are so jealous of Rush. Rush says what he thinks, is not intimidated by the current leftist White House watch dogs whose only job is to attempt to destroy anyone who would dare disagree with the 'anointed one'. To add insult to injury, Rush makes a lot of money, his popularity is growing and he (Rush) is still having more fun that a human being should be allowed to have. GO RUSH!!
GOOD BLOG SAM ALL THE CONSERVATIVES I KNOW AGREE WITH YOU. WONDER WHAT THE NEXT ELECTIONS WILL TELL US??
Altamae 7,
The next elections will probably tell us the same thing that the last did. The far right is dying fast. Being stuck in the mud and being represented by people like Sam have really not helped the party gain steam. Year by year democrats are gaining more and more power. And militant blogs like this are the reason why. Whether the crazies on this blog realize it or not, they are actually doing more to help the liberal idea than hurt it.
October, 2008 -- The GOP decrying Obama's fundraising ability, while McCain was cash strapped.
It is not hard to understand.
Conservative donations split between more than a dozen profit-motivated Neo-Con broadcasters and publishers---while Independent, Conservative Democratic, Moderate Democratic, Liberal Democratic AND MODERATE AND PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN DONATIONS GOING TO SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET-- all except what Ralph Nader attracted.
About 80% of the citizen voters donating to a single effort.
The remaining 20% donating to more than a dozen profit-making demagogues, with the only candidate available to them picking up a few crumbs.
The election result -- the McCain/Palin campaign's financial distress.
The political consequence -- a fear-driven vociferous, vitriolic opposition to any proposal which does not come from this tiny minority.
The cultural tragedy -- Non-stop personal attacks upon the only President we have, his family, his positive achievements and his goal to pull this country out of the mess DUBYAH AND THE DRAFT DODGERS put us in.
The numbers are in -- George W.Bush handed this nation $26-TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT.
Take away George H.W. Bush's NATIONAL DEBT accumulation -- and "DubYah's debt" would total more than 80% of the total debt accumulation since 1775.
Eight years with this nation mired in two wars from 2002 through today.
Seven years with no effective federal disaster relief for the Hurricane Katrina destruction.
President Obama has tackled only one of the domestic priorities listed in his campaign - HEALTH CARE REFORM.
Why -- Because unless the national cost for Health Care is reduced to less than 10%
-- AS A NATION -- WE ARE BANKRUPT.
Without reform, Health Care costs will increase to more than 20% of the Gross National Product.
This nation cannot survive with a $40-TRILLION national debt, MORE THAN one-half of our GNP going into Health Care, the Military, Law Enforcement and PRISONS.
Your children will lose their educations and futures.
All you super conservative patriots need do --
IS DO THE NUMBERS.
Since Hurricane Katrina -- Federal, State and Local tax income from the destroyed Gulf Coast economy has totaled more than three times what speedy effective rebuilding of the region should have cost.
The national economic loss has now risen to 400% of the total storm damage.
With reduced funding from the current depression slowing rebuilding -- that loss will grow to 600% of total storm damage.
Now add at least TWO TRILLION DOLLARS lost to graft, corruption and waste in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As taxpayers, YOU and I were funding more than 70,000 PRIVATE SECURITY CONTRACTORS in Afghanistan all costing more than $250,000 annually.
While 20,000 combat troops were scattered across the landscape which has defeated every military force in history.
The Draft Dodgers poured 90% of U.S. military effort into Iraq, allowing the actual enemy -- Al Qaeda to escape and rebuild -- and the Taliban to rebuild and become the world's major opium producing region.
Hurl your insults--come up with new slurs -- deny racism--THE FACTS ARE CLEAR.
Without reform, Health Care costs will increase to more than 20% of the Gross National Product...and with reform, they'll only cost 33% of the GNP.
This nation cannot survive with a $40-TRILLION national debt, MORE THAN one-half of our GNP going into Health Care, the Military, Law Enforcement and PRISONS...and yet Pres. Obama and his Democratic legislature continue to increase the national debt frantically to support endless entitlement programs, their favorite unions and banks...and hang our military out to dry in Afghanistan.
Your children will lose their educations and futures...exactly as the NEA has planned. Decades of hard work are finally paying off...the public schools are now turning out more illiterate sheeple than ever before!
Since Hurricane Katrina -- Federal, State and Local tax income from the destroyed Gulf Coast economy has totaled more than three times what speedy effective rebuilding of the region should have cost...it's just too bad their corrupt state and local governments are wasting it all.
Now add at least TWO TRILLION DOLLARS lost to graft, corruption and waste in Iraq and Afghanistan...a mere drop in the bucket compared to the graft, corruption and waste applied to the eternal, unwinnable War on Poverty!!
As taxpayers, YOU and I were funding more than 70,000 PRIVATE SECURITY CONTRACTORS in Afghanistan all costing more than $250,000 annually...and thereby managing the necessary work without a draft!!
While 20,000 combat troops were scattered across the landscape which has defeated every military force in history...except US.
The Draft Dodgers poured 90% of U.S. military effort into Iraq, allowing the actual enemy -- Al Qaeda to escape and rebuild -- and the Taliban to rebuild and become the world's major opium producing region...because our moronic left and the Democrats controlling spending are unable to commit to finishing the job of chasing the terrorists down, and are blind to the fact that our positions in Iraq and Afghanistan were perfect for taking our Iran if needed.
Hurl your insults, come up with new "factoids" - deny your responsibility, but the FACTS ARE CLEAR - the left is determined to grasp every dollar the right pays in taxes to use for their own entitlement programs instead of for the "common good" of all the country. Greedy, selfish, gimme-gimme-gimme leftists are destroying our freedoms, our economy and our children. Way to go, Hank.
Whether or not Rush Limbaugh or anybody else is racist is futile to argue, as we cannot read hearts; and words do not always reflect what is in the heart. In Gilly's case I'll make the exception.
What is actually the most disturbing to me is the fact that the Senate Majority Leader has twice brought his guns to bear on a private US citizen for no reason other than vile resentment and anger. And other representatives in the US Congress have used floor time to rake a private citizen over the coals. That, ladies and gentlemen, should NOT be happening no matter whether you or I agree with or like the person or not.
I see all to often these days that people want to argue the details and not the core issues. I believe that is dangerous, and that it plays into the hands of the elected who wish to exploit our distractions to further their own agendas.
People - we need to focus. We are definitely NOT going to agree on most points, but we really DO need to agree to maintain the freedom and liberty we enjoy; before those liberties and freedoms are stolen from us.
fredd......what is racist about that.My god can't anyone say anything anymore.P.S.go ahead call me what ever you want.It's not going to hurt or kill me.I'm the biggest cracker with red hair you'll ever see.
fredd, Valerie Plame was "outed" by richard armitage, a former deputy secretary of state.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brad-wilmou...
Just exactly what do you consider the sins of the Whigs and Free Soilers to be, Fredd? Does it p**s you off that they split from the Democrats? Do you know why? Do you think they were a bunch of racist pigs, too?
And please, dust off the dictionary and spell some words over 3 letters correctly. You know, the dictionary, the one down on the end that still looks like new? Right next to AL FRANKEN!!
You might start with "biggot" "caracter" "Demagraphics" "enimies"
Heck, you can't even spell your president's first name correctly! It is "Barack"
Is this racist, Fredd?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN5StQAr7...
So, you are saying Rush is advocating killing all the black people?
By the way, Rush has a hell of a lot more than 15 million listeners! And who says that little speech encouraging the killing of all the white people wasn't watched by 15 million people? After all, it was on CSpan, and now its on YouTube. Do you think he doesn't have an audience? Do you think the "chosen one's" preacher doesn't have an audience. Why don't you attack the real racists? Because you happen to agree with them?
Even Carl listens to Rush. Carl, do you think we ought to kill all the black people? Fredd, do you think we ought to kill all the white people?
You hate Rush because you disagree with his politics, then scream "HATE" and "RACIST" when someone disagrees with yours. And then, you have the nerve to call me a "pathetic little man!"
Congratulations Fredd, you have learned the art of spin very well! I asked you a question. Do you think we ought to kill all the white people? If not, why are you not denouncing that hate-monger in the video? Do you agree with his politics? Is it because he is not an "old white man?" Is "old white man" a compliment? Is it racist? Could it be considered racist? If the Latino population will very soon be the majority in this country, what does that mean to you? Do they advocate killing the white man? Do you mean to imply that the Latino is poised to "get even?" Are there racial overtones in what you write? Will you ever learn that words (even misspelled words) have meaning?
Just once, answer a question!
"Activist and bookstore owner Dr. Kamau Kambon, who taught Africana Studies 241 in the Spring 2005 semester at North Carolina State University spoke live on cspan."
This guy doesn't have an audience? No, he is just teaching in a University. Another Ward Churchill? Smell what you are shoveling, Iggy!
"wandering around the Earth like zombies hanging on every word this guy says"
Talk about the politics of the absurd!
You win the prize for absurdity on that one. Quick, call the Nobel folks!
You know, once upon a time, there was a little voice yelling "kill all the jews" and, for a while, he wasn't really mainstream. You do know how that worked out, don't you? Or are you one of those that thinks the Holocaust was a fabrication?
One question. Who is the most dangerous here?
"large, pervasive, and influential as Rush's audience"
You really are scared of this guy, aren't you?
Fredd! When are you going to answer my question?
Do you think we ought to kill all the white people? If not, why are you not denouncing that hate-monger in the video? Do you agree with his politics? Is it because he is not an "old white man?" Is "old white man" a compliment? Is it racist? Could it be considered racist? If the Latino population will very soon be the majority in this country, what does that mean to you? Do they advocate killing the white man? Do you mean to imply that the Latino is poised to "get even?" Are there racial overtones in what you write? Will you ever learn that words (even misspelled words) have meaning?
Sam, your point is proven, courtesy of Fredd and Iggy!
"In a society where the left always cries for tolerance, we see example after example of intolerance from the left. Rush Limbaugh's crime? He is a conservative."
I will try to make it easy for you!
Do you think we ought to kill all the white people? Yes or no?
If not, why are you not denouncing that hate-monger in the video? This is an essay question!
Do you agree with his politics? yes or no
Is it because he is not an "old white man?" yes or no
Is "old white man" a compliment? yes or no
Is it racist? yes or no
Could it be considered racist? yes or no
If the Latino population will very soon be the majority in this country, what does that mean to you? Essay question! (by the way, the projection is 30% by 2050. Not a real majority)
Do they advocate killing the white man? yes or no
Do you mean to imply that the Latino is poised to "get even?" yes or no
Are there racial overtones in what you write? YES!
Will you ever learn that words (even misspelled words) have meaning? MOST LIKELY NOT!
Sams' points are almost always proven out Duff. I think that is why the left hates him the way they do. They can not stand that an average guy, a truck driver no less, has more common sense than they will ever enjoy.
Fredd is another one of these folks who is ignorant on purpose. Rush never came up with Barack the magic Negro. It was the LA TIMES. Liberals never let a little thing like the truth get in the way of their opinions.
Hubby and I appreciate your defense of what is right duff. Keep it up!
Yeah, I see they even managed to send some of their "holier than thou" your way, too. Arrogance and ignorance is a deadly combination! You are correct! "common sense?" Don't use that term around a liberal, you will get called a racist!
Good! We are making progress! You answered #1, dodged #2, then went off on your anti-right diatribe. Take a deep breath and try harder!
I will simplify it a little more!
Dr. Kamau Kambon's comments, made in a public forum, by a black man, are much more racist than any comment ever documented (not imagined) as made by Rush Limbaugh! yes or no?
Fredd, another question! Why are you so anxious to crucify Rush for being a racist (according to you) and reluctant to specifically denounce Dr. Kamau Kambon's statements, which are clearly racist?
As for ownership of a NFL team (the original topic), when do you lefties get around to telling me I can't buy a Toyota, or I have to watch Mikey Moore's movies, or I have to buy your damned health insurance? His money, I say he can spend it any way he wants to! Isn't that what a free economy is all about? Or is a truck driver too damn dumb to know better? By the way, I was once a truck driver!
Very good Carl! Right up to the end when you just can't resist name-calling and labeling!
Sam, here comes Carl, helping to prove your point!
GM needs to protect itself too, especially since ObamaUnion now owns it. Who gets to decide whether or not I can buy a Toyota, Carl? The Unions, Obama, the left, or YOU?
Exactly, the NFL is only entertainment! Course, they are protected from anti-trust laws, which enable them to exclude someone for ownership. Pretty small potatoes, huh? So the Sharpton Gang gets away with their BS, and you applaud their effort! Free economy? I think not!
And the Union-owned GM, a shell of its former self, is a "lynchpin of the American economy?" NOT! Just a preview of what's to come of the American economy! And you guys wail about who wants to own a piece of a damn football team!
And the "racist pill popping bigot" is not urging anyone to kill anyone! If Kambon influences one black person to kill one white person, he wins! Can you possibly think for one minute that the possiblity does not exist? I certainly am not naive enough to buy your argument that Rush is more dangerous than Kambon, even if you believe it!
Your hatred and racism is just as wrong! Deal with it!
Why can't you answer my questions?
I do hope you are right that Churchill and Kambon are not teaching anywhere, but I suspect they probably are! And the problem really is the fact that there are hundreds more like them!
Carl, you are starting to act like "slick obama."
You said in one post the owners voted him out, then you say the investors kicked him out. You really don't know, do you! You are just too happy to see Rush get his, aren't you? And then it p**ses you off that someone has the audacity to be happy that Obama got screwed on the Olympics! The hypocrisy is amusing, keep up the good work!
By the way, what is a "debaucle?" Is that something I should get vaccinated for, or do you and Fredd confer on spelling?
Next I suppose you are going to tell me that Churchill, Kambon, and hundreds of other racists hiding under the guise of "educators" are really Bush 43's red-headed step-children?
What about Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan,
Wright, et.al? Are they Bush's kids too? Or Rush's? Are they "good racists" as opposed to "Rush racists?"
This just in: Bush and Rush conspired to kill Malcom X!!!!
This just in: Bush and Rush hired John Wilkes Booth!
Yes, somehow I have the audacity to believe that the way you express yourself demonstrates your credibility. Course, I went to school during a time when getting an education was important, not being forced to adhere to political correctness! We recited the Pledge of Allegiance, we had prayers at graduation, our History teachers taught history, not a political opinion, we learned how to spell! But that's just me!
No, my point was that your blaming everything you percieve to be wrong in the world is the fault of Bush and Rush is really getting tired and old. That's not a losing argument, that is fact! Learn to deal with it!
Wow, does that give you a warm, fuzzy feeling? Good! For just an instant, you forgot about Rush and directed your hatred toward me. We are making progress now!
And you think Jimmy Carter was better? Do you think the "great groper" pulling up his pants long enough to lob a few cruise missles was great foreign policy? Now his wife is S-O-S! Her payoff for getting out of Obama's way! What a joke! It appears to me that we have a pretty poor track record, with the exception of Reagan and JFK. Just admit it! You don't have to be honest with me, just yourself. Bush-bashing is fun for you, and you really don't know why! It just happens to be rage with the left, because, with the exception of Rush, they have nowhere to direct their rage.
Focus here, Iggy. Spelling!!!!!! At least you know how to spell hypocrisy correctly! "acuse?"
I freely admit that, in spite of a grand lady's effort, my achievement of grammatical correctness was just slightly above my achievement level of political correctness. And, OF COURSE, sometimes we write as we speak within our local culture.
Now both of you are starting to show your maturity! What are you, 14 year olds?
Fredd, what a philosopher you are! So great you need to repeat yourself! A legend in your own mind!
"The politics of the absurd 101" taught by Fredd, Iggy, and Carl. "The gospel according to AL FRANKEN" taught by Fredd! Is anybody learning anything?
Wow, the party of tolerance, b***hing about gays? Does the name Barney Frank mean anything to you Freddocrit?
OF COURSE, I am sure that democrat gays are more acceptable than republican gays!
Don't look now Freddocrit, but your intolerance is showing!
All along I thought you were a died-in-the-wool liberal, Freddocrit, and now it comes out! You are just a run-of-the-mill homophobe!
You said "family values crowd" then went off with a homophobic rage against gay republicans! Like a gay does not have "family values?" Freddocrit is a homophobe! Or, do you only like gay democraps? OF COURSE, Slick Willy knew the right place to put his willy, didn't he?
Freddocrit hates gays! But its OK, because he only hates republican gays!
GAY-BASHER ALERT!!!!!!
Come on Freddocrit, what group do you want to bash next? I'm good for all night!
Sam, keep the greasy side down buddy!
Old Fredd has violated the McCook Gazette policy. He has defamed and slandered Rush, but I am not a liberal, so I won't go running to the Gazette and cry about it like liberals do. Best to let Fredd and the others spew their hate for all to see.
And Duffer, I will add my thanks to Candy's for coming to the defense of sanity my friend. God Bless you. The left is loosing. If it were not for the racism that they promote to keep black Americans angry and confused, Obama would be finished already.
More and more blacks are realizing that the Democrat Party has let them down, lied to them and tried to manipulate them and destroy their families. The left has been exposed for the greedy, immoral and egotistical freaks they really are.
Well put Sam. Like I said, stay safe!
Ahah, the "logic police" shows up! And what do you have hidden in your closet, Iggocrit?
I just had warmed-over Chinese food for supper. Got any philosphy-laden illusions about that?
I just finished an ice-cold Bud. What logic can you use to determine my politics from that? Mind-reading? You suck at it!
"...Job one is to win the war, the economic war. Job two is to win the economic war. And job three. And you can't expect people to unite behind you if you're trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throat. So I would, I would absolutely say for the, for the interim, till we get this one solved, I would not be pushing a lot of things that are, you know, are contentious. And I also, I also would do no finger-pointing whatsoever."
Good advice to the ObamaNation from Warren Buffett back in March! I suppose he won't get a Happy Holiday card from the W/H? What do you think Mr. Logic Police, is he a racist, hating pig also?
You know, Iggocrit, sometimes you need to listen to a true master of BS, so here you go!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaKp6WQ3k...
Mr. Dufferxyz, I will add my thanks to Sam's for your support and comments. Sam is right, best to let them spout off and let all who read understand the true danger this country is in from these caawaazy libs.
I almost forgot, Mrs. Smith, you're comments were right on the money. The liberals know they promote racism. They need racism to keep people apart. It is all they know.
You are a teacher! Wow! I'll bet your classroom is really "fair and balanced!" From little acorns mighty marxists grow!
What do you do with your students that slip up and support a conservative view? Do you call them stupid too? Do you demean them with cries of "racist,""bottom-feeder" and "Rush Zombie?" Are they allowed back the next day? Do they get a visit after class from a thug in a purple t-shirt?
"Stick it out in school and have high school literacy levels?" You mean like Freddocrit? Was he one of your students? Wow! I really am impressed! I am going to stop worrying about the quality of education, now that I know you are leading the way!
By the way, what do you teach, "Republican-Bashing 101?"
Guillermo,
Just a few short months ago, you were a student in Lincoln studying on how to fight extremism in our schools (?). Now your in Washington working on education policy? Either you are truly gifted and we are to honor you. Or perhaps you exaggerate a little, and your just an internet bully who uses big words and phrases from other people, just to scare the ignorant into admitting defeat. So, are you a big man in a suit, or a little man in his pajamas? Looking at some of you post times, I choose the latter.
Chunky, you really think Iggocrit lies? Fight extremism in schools? You mean like shouting down conservatives? Maybe he has "delusions of grandeur?"
Is that it Iggocrit? Are you holed up in the basement with your cold pizza, pepsi, and filthy pajamas, getting back at all those that didn't play nice with you on the playground? How much pizza and pepsi can you buy with ObamaMoney?
freddy......A fence post may understand you.
fredd, another victim of lies, run over on the road of truth.
waterhead? Could this be a racist remark?
NO! It's a derogatory term for Down's Syndrome.
Guillermo Inglaterra, I hereby call for your removal from the Gazette's blogs.
waterhead: A person with mental health problems, ie downs syndrome, or retard for the lay person. Urban Dictionary
Wasn't it you that got G5 kicked out for using derogatory terms?
I guess the real bigot has been exposed, and it is Guillermo Inglaterra.
waterhead is a derogatory term, no matter how its used. And you have shown your bigotry.
Carl,
If your going to look up today's street slang, Roget's and Merriam Webster is probably not where you'll find it. A man of your great self-esteem should know that.
Or do you hold an underlying bigotry of those less educated as you?
Carl Leibowitz,
Thank you for your forgiveness, and I will forgive for the "n. an ill informed blogger with an abundance of opinion and a lack of fact." and "prejudice is insulting and an unfounded accusation. As most of your posts fall into these categories", comments of me.
But I do have to ask, would you tolerate anyone using the term "waterhead" at a mentally challenged person regardless of the cause?
Yes Carl, it would be greatly appreciated by the mentally inferior that you refrain from any discussion of the events of the day. Also I noticed you end your post by "God bless America". Are you a believer?
Guillermo, I can handle any insult thrown at me. Did you notice how defensive you got? Did you notice the time you spent defending your self? Did you feel the rage build inside you. Just as anyone who is a conservative, must spend valuable time defending themselves against the racism charge, the intellectual spends a great deal of time and energy defending against the charge of, I guess it's called intellectual elitism.
Calling me a waterhead didn't offend me at all, but it did give me an opening to put a pile of poop in front of you. And you stepped in it.
Face it Guillermo, you were just held up to the same scrutiny you hold conservatives to. And guess what, you didn't like it.
In your zeal to belittle everyone you disagree with, you always resort to name calling, and this time you were caught using a particular derogatory term. A real man would have apologized and hoped the offended would just forgive you. Instead you tried to defend it and just kept digging a deeper hole.
Some, I'm sure will see you as a bigoted elitist, but this "waterhead" will forgive you.
How incredibly insensitive of you, Iggocrat, to use a disparaging term associated to a mental and developmental disablity in your vain attempt to insult someone else!
Even worse is your lame-a** attempt to rationalize and dismiss your comment!
Maybe you should get your punk a** out in the sunlight once in a while, and take a look at the problems facing these folks, and maybe you would learn to be a little more sensitive!
OF COURSE, we all know where this came from! You picked it up while your buddies in the liberal camp were busy trashing Sarah Palin and her family! Not a whole lot different than your rock star president insulting the Special Olympics participants! At least his rationalization and apology rose above your lame effort!
You see, Iggocrit, that is why conservatives truly hate your arrogant, pious politics, because you sit on your thrones and preach one thing and do something entirely different. That is why we don't trust you or your cohorts!
We understand why you despise Rush and Glenn and other conservative voices! It is because they continually expose your double-talk and hypocrisy! We get you to yell loud enough and long enough, and the truth of your bias will eventually come out! Guess what? If you libs would quit providing them material, they would probably disappear from the scene, but OF COURSE, that will never happen.
Rush is a bigot? What exact disparaging word or words did he use in commenting on the NFL quarterback? OF COURSE, there were none! He described him as a "black" quarterback, using the term no differently than we hear it used every day describing our first "black" president! One thing for damn sure, he didn't use a disparaging term such as the one you did!
You should be totally ashamed of yourself, but OF COURSE we know your are not! Nevertheless,we can all see you for what your really are, an ARROGANT, LOUDMOUTH, HYPOCRITICAL, INSENSITIVE BULLY!!!!!
And Carl, your laughable attempts to support and rationalize Iggocrit's behavior are equally pathetic!!
Iggocrit, I just opened my mail and today I received my yearly request to donate to the Special Olympics, which I have obliged for many years. Would you like their address so you can send them a check?
And you keep it up, because you are exposing your bias!!
What do you want to do about the donation to Special Olympics?
What part of your insensitive, crude name-calling that disparaged a developmental disability did you conveniently forget? That bias!
Keep ducking Bucko, you might just let another insensitive, crude, insulting term fly out!
Thanks for the offer, but I send money to Omaha, and donate my time a little closer to home. But, OF COURSE, you will find some way to berate that also. Please don't dissappoint me!
Oh, the dictionary police are back! Still friggin' lame Iggocrit! You stepped on your willy and you are too damn vain to admit it! Damn if I don't feel better knowing that a punka** like you is so much smarter than all of us! What are you really, about 13 years old? As for the "urban dictionary," you may place the "urban dictionary" in your arrogant anal orifice! I heard that word associated with Down's Syndrome when you were still in diapers, if in fact you have ever been potty-trained!
Take the high ground! What a laugh! You got a long swim from the bottom of the sewer lagoon, bucko!
So, for "waterhead" to be listed in the Urban Dictionary as a derogatory term for those afflicted with Down's Syndrome, some one, some where has used it as such.
So in the end, Inglaterra cannot claim any moral high ground over Rush Limbaugh. Neither can Carl Leibowitz, who choose to defend this awful term and its use.
Mr. Chunky, Rush is a great guy, and that it what irritates the libs. They call Rush a racist and a bigot, and that is flatly untrue. You are right Chunky, Mr. Inglaterra can not claim any moral ground over Rush. When the left cannot destroy the message, they smear the messenger. You think they could try something new. It is evident which side is promoting hate. You and Mr. Duff keep up the fight.
Thank you, RMontana, and we will.
Freddocrit, you homophobe, I thought you left (pun intended)?
Iggocrit, you just continue to try to cover your punka**, don't you? But, OF COURSE, you continue to demonstrate your arrogance and inconsideration by continuing to use name calling and derogatory terms. A mind is a terrible thing to waste!!!
Once every so often, we hear from Freddocritus Homophobus, and Iggocritus Blowhardus. Their puppy, Carlisus Marxis also yaps once in a while.
Two "Latter Rain Movement" fundamentalist lay preachers down in central Alabama were every Wednesday afternoon fishing partners for 45 years.
Naturally, they discussed matters of faith and hope and eternity, helping each other prepare the next Sunday's sermon.
Luckily they agreed totally about segregation of the races, keeping Jim Crow laws in place and absolute divinely ordered white superiority.
Over the years, they promised that whichever went first, he would attempt to get word back to the
other.
One Wednesday Brother Luke arrived at Brother Floyd's home to find a Black Wreath on the front door and the widow grieving her loss.
As agreed, Luke delivered the funeral sermon for his old friend.
Time passed, Luke heard nothing from Floyd's spirit, until one day, Luke passed on.
Somewhat to his surprise, Luke found himself in Heaven, just strolling around when he spotted Floyd hurrying toward him.
After happy greetings, Floyd asked, "Have you had your audience with God yet?"
"Why yes, the day after St. Peter let me in."
"Well what happened?," Floyd demanded to know.
"Not much, God asked if I was surprised to find out that God is black."
"Well, what did you say?," Floyd shouted.
"What could I say. I just stayed kneeling there, looked up and said, 'No M'am'"!
Hank,
What exactly is your point?
Chunk ol' top,
It is truly difficult to comprehend anyone following the Hate Obama rhetoric in these several blogs -- and not understanding the point.
But, you do indeed prove there is an exception to every rule.
To draw a map -- Most Caucasian followers of the Judeo-Christian faith have a strongly developed comprehension of a white, male God.
Consider a devout, Southern Fundamentalist preacher who grew up in the days of Jim Crow, with everything segregated -- and as Sceptre so succinctly expressed it last midnight -- "All colored knowing and keeping their place, with my white foot squarely on their neck."
That preacher arrives in Heaven and despite the reality of his racism discovers God is a Black Woman.
Proving that having let him into Heaven, SHE HAS a sense of humor.
So how did these racists get into heaven? Would Jesus joke about this?
Chunky,
While realizing humor is sadly lacking in the Neo-Con world, It was a joke.
I first heard it at a combined state-wide clergy meeting about 25 years back.
If you want to wax with philosophy -- Maybe God has come to accept since SHE created this multi-million-light-year-broad universe and allowed the various colors and races of humans to populate our little speck in space -- Fear of those different from us is a natural development and SHE must share this Responsibility.
Someone up the line in this comment line of 250+ entries gave us the one glimmer of hope.
Life's cycle means the young escape many of their elders' prejudices.
Note --PREJUDICES -- IS THE OPERATIVE TERM.
We all have justifiable bias in some form.
From hard-earned experience there are two religious groups I refuse to do business with, because I have discovered since 1941 -- They will expound their moral superiority, while eagerly lying, cheating and even stealing from anyone not of their faith.
But the young people bring us hope.
In California, the Swiss/Italian families controlled much of the more prosperous agriculture.
Through the 1960s, many of the parents and grandparents could not say "Mexican" without prefacing it with "Dirty" and other slurs.
But the young people of both groups, and others, were in Catholic Church classes and activities and public school together.
As a result, following their hearts, minds and instincts, including hormonal urges -- dating, betrothals and marriages followed.
A number of youngsters were disowned by adults from both groups of in-laws. Sometimes both sets of parents, sometimes one set of parents and the grandparents from the other direction.
But as often happens with young Catholic couples, the bambinos arrived.
Amazingly, when parents and grandparents discovered that holding their grandchildren meant embracing both of that child's parents -- Old prejudices died rather quickly.
As well as speech habits.
In an area where no "Dirty Mexican" rose beyond crew leader in the fields, there gradually developed middle managers and eventually top managers in the industrial agriculture.
Then in the early '80s one major shipper/grower's corporate plane crashed into a mountainside.
Among the five dead, a young American of Mexican descent -- High School athlete and honor student, university athlete and honor graduate and the youngest executive in that company.
After the funeral mass, top executives of the firm, their wives and children, clung to that young man's family members with tears pouring from all eyes.
Remarkably, of the five good and decent men who died in that crash, that young man's loss resonated the most dramatically.
Sadly, on these blogs and comments, we continue to see subtly coded and not so subtle expressions of bigotry.
Like it or not, when the previous president's forces stole the 2000 and 2004 elections, our world as we knew it ceased.
The U.S. is now a hugely debtor nation.
That borrowed wealth is gone through corrupt "insider" contractors, mis-managed wars and croneyism -- all without improving the nation.
We are in EXTREME DEBT to the MUSLIM oil sheikdoms and to the former COMMUNIST Chinese.
There was never a time for arrogance in dealing with any other nations -- Certainly not now to those where this nation is so deeply in debt.
Just remember, all you Obama Bashers, all you Birthers -- The debts are purely a result of the incompetence of one Old Money, Old New England family of self-styled American aristocrats.
The "Kenyan" and that "Hateful Michelle" did not get us into this mess.
We owe this to the "Royal Bush Family."
The President is in Beijing today working his very well-educated half-black posterior off for YOU and me, our children, grand-children and their descendants.
Quit hoping for our President's failure, and pray that She will look kindly upon us and our president.
Put America first and your personal hatreds out to pasture.
By the way Chunky, while not pretending to be a Bible Thumping, "Speaking in Tongues" or liturgical Christian -- I have studied a little Scripture.
As I recall, Jesus frequently used stories with morals, PARABLES I believe they were called.
And yes, it is probable, He had a sense of humor -- Just as does His Mother.
She has to have a sense of humor -- after all She created humans, including NeoCons and Liberal Progressives.
Be kind, we are all God's creatures.
"Be kind, we are all God's creatures". Posted by HerndonHank on Tue, Nov 17, 2009, at 9:16 AM
Practice what you preach, HYPOCRITE.
The liberals hate Rush, because they fear him. Liberals fear truth. Examine the rantings of Hank and Guillermo. You can just sense the years of rage. The left hates Sarah Palin for the same reason, they fear her. What is so damn funny to watch is all these news commentators, acting so concerned for the right. If the Democrats really believed that Sarah Palin would hurt Republicans and Conservatives in the long run, they would leave her alone. They'd encourage us to embrace her, just like the media did with John McCain.
Has anyone else noticed a trend here? Weak, insecure (LIBERAL) men are the ones fearing/hating Sarah Palin the most. You know the ones who favor the federal government equalizing every aspect of our lives to make if fair for everyone. Sarah Palin represents their worst fear, a woman who doesn't need them. And they cannot list anything Sarah has said or done that justifies the fear/hate, so they make things up.
By the way, great posts by Sean McCloud and
RMontana.
Sean, care to explain Sarah Palin not being a Godly representative and where Fmr. President George W. Bush was better? George W. Bush's downfall began as he tried to partner up with the ungodly of this world, and he lost his support. Why would Sarah Palin lead the list of possible Presidential candidates, especially among the Evangelicals?
Your entire answer to Sean was an outright lie. (Are you naturally a hateful guy Fredd?) This kind of deliberate lying to defend your point of view is wrong. I encourage you to try and defend your point of view with something other than hate.
Sam - you cannot have an an intelligent discourse with a non-intellectual.
As a common sense man, you know that the lefty talking points are too entrenched in maleable minds to make a dent.
I applaud your continued efforts to do just that, however.
fredd never talked about wanting Palin to run for 2012 until I mentioned it to him/her. Now he thinks it would be terrific...proof of someone who cannot arrive at these conclusions on their own.
