Limbaugh: ‘When Is Obama Going To Refute Hoffa? Hell, Obama Wrote It For Him!’

audio
» 212 comments

Rush Limbaugh promised listeners today that he was in a “fit to be tied mood” and, boy, was he. Right at the top, he launched into a classic rant about Barack Obama and James Hoffa that featured such Limbaugh touches as accusing Obama of either suggesting or actually writing Hoffa’s controversial comments as well as insisting that Nino Rota’s theme from The Godfather play under the entire segment.

Limbaugh asked if there was “any doubt that Obama has been thinking of Republicans as his bitches ever since he got elected” and played comparison clips of the President in his Tucson memorial speech and Hoffa’s. He also pointed out that Hoffa’s comments weren’t at all metaphorical, comparing them to Sarah Palin’s infamous bullseye map. That being said, a video of Hoffa’s speech released by Fox News and including sections excised from the version Limbaugh played (including Hoffa saying “Everybody here’s got a vote” right before “let’s take these sons of bitches out”) would seem to go against Limbaugh’s argument.

Limbaugh also used the Arizona comparison to go after other Democrats and media figures. Playing Debbie Wasserman-Schwartz’s appearance on Fox and Friends this morning as well as clips from various CNN shows. He made special point to note whenever the news anchors and politicians mentioned “radio hosts” and “shock jocks” in the aftermath of January’s shooting, showing just how personally he was taking this situation.

He summed up his feelings saying “I hope, before all of this is over, Hoffa has to go hide in Italy somewhere.”

    “Obama Should Call Out ‘Violent Rhetoric’ Of Jimmy Hoffa”

    …unfortunately, that’s NOT POSSIBLE PHYSICALLY – you see, NO-PLAN OBOZO’s (aka, Steve Urkel without the glasses) lips are still attached to hoffa’s butt, so it’s’ impossible for him to say anything.

    The Left in this country has been embarked on a duplicitous cultural regression for the past 50 years.

    Just look at how their welfare policies have decimated the black family unit – 80% of newborns now born to single children and women, with multiple sex partners as their “baby-daddies”!

    That’s outright primitive, and it’s incumbent on those of us more mature and evolved in our thinking to put an end to that kind of Govrernment-sponsored Child Abuse!

    Why would Oblamer want Hoffa to apologize for what he said when Oblamer is just as divisive?

    Hey, OBAMO: Next time, make SURE you wrestle the guns out of the hands of those ‘bitter clingers’ before you declare war on them.

  • Nature Freak

    If you look at what Jimmy Hoffa actually said (not the edited version), he was 100 percent correct.

    I wish President Obama would quit being so low key and instead used oratory like Hoffa did.

    Of course they are Sons of Bitches! It is true.

    President Obama is too much of a nice guy. Obama needs to aggressively refute the radical right wing/ tea baggers. And Obama needs to articulate his own vision and accomplishments better than he has so far. President Obama needs to stand up to the far Right.

    So Limbaugh did not play Hoffa’s entire clip. Rather misleading. What else would one expect from Rush?

    Given the circumstances surrounding the National Guardsmen (and innocent diners) attacked in Nevada today, immediate suspicion – and reasonably so, for all of you Emote-First, Think-Never liberals out there - will fall upon Islamic terrorists. 

    Now, just observe the extent, tone and judgemental perspective in the way the mainstream media reports on this story.

    Then ask yourself how the extent, tone and judgemental perspectives of those reports would be had suspicion befallen a Tea Party member!

    They don’t call it the Liberal media for nothing!

    Never again will a LIB float in on a purple Media throne like OBAMO did and wag his (or her) finger about ‘Hope and Change.’ The lie of Liberalism has been exposed, and the noose around OBAMO’s neck has ensnared his Lewinski-like media ‘friends.’ That’s the beautiful thing that I see.

    I personally don’t have a problem with Hoffa’s comments, nor do I care that Obama is almost certainly in agreement. The civil war has taken about forty years longer to come than I thought it would, but I always did kind of think that it would indeed happen in my lifetime. Obama will get the chaos he’s looking for before the election, and he will go down in history as the asshole that tried to bust the country, but failed.

  • Norbit

    Moreso, Rush is alluding to the hypocritical reaction of Democrats and their Advocacy Media’s contrived “outrage” over the innocuous Palin map; compared of course, to a union leader’s call-to-arms for his “army” to “take out” Obama’s political opponents.

    - and still, nothing but SILENCE from the (lol) “One-America” (lol) President!

    ps) Don’t delude yourself into thinking all these duplicitous, “Chicago-Style” tactics aren’t leaving a big-ass hurt on the way people are viewing this guy’s character, integrity and honesty.
    If you can’t trust the man, why would it matter what he says?

    It just amazes me that this will turn into a victimhood party for which ever political spin people want to paint. Glen Beck and Sarah Palin didn’t shoot those people in AZ, just as Hoffa and whoever didn’t shoot these people in NV. However, none of them are the victims either. The only people who are the victims are those who are shot or dead. Not any political movement, not anyone in the media, and not anyone who posts on this site.

    Something is going on. The Congressional Black Caucus is attempting to rally the blacks to rise up against the Tea Partiers and the Unions are attempting to get their “armies” to rise up against the Tea Partiers.  VP is calling them barbarians and terrorists.  They have a plan afoot.  Are they looking for social unrest or just trying to demonize the right in order to win re-election?

    So welfare is a black thing? Welfare is caused by poverty. More poor black people = more black people on welfare- it is a simple thing.

    Create jobs and education for everyone (including minorities) and you will see less people on welfare. What have republicans done for the poor man? What did Bush do with his 8 years? Reduce taxes for the rich? Widen the gap between rich and poor? 

    BTW I grew up in a black society with majority of households had two parents- In Nigeria ( a 3rd world country). What does that say about the way blacks are treated in USA? 

  • Anonymous

    Uh… Limbaugh is not a racist. I can deny it, because it isn’t true. Obama IS similar to Hitler in many ways – greek columns and nationalizing car companies to make a “people’s car” are only a few of the many comparisons. But that’s because Fascism is and always was a stepchild of the Left – those who equate the “Right wing” of 1920s Germany to the “Right wing” of 21st century America simply have no clue. The very definition of Fascism can be found in Obama’s relationship with GE.

    The controversy is not over what Hoffa said or whether its just hot air, he’s a first class tool – its really about the Left lecturing the Right since Gabrielle Giffords about “civility”. It’s only right that it gets thrown back in their faces. Were you one of those people lecturing Palin about “targeting” districts? Because this applies to you, too, then.

    It was way more offensive than even that. His joke about Hoffa’s father’s murder was so tasteless, the giant windbag himself couldn’t get through it. He tried it three times and messed it up twice.

    The joke was supposedly about context: “if only the guys sent to kill Hoffa had known they were just supposed to vote him out of office.” So tasteless, even he messed it up

    Yes, Sarah Palin deserved the backlash she received and so did Hoffa. However, it is hot air because violent rhetoric happens on both sides every time and fox news cut out crucial parts of the quote which actually softened the rhetoric (even though “sons of bitches” is still bad rhetoric).

    As for Limbaugh, he said that Obama, Acorn and Ayers have been training young blacks and their parents to hate America. He also says that is the reason why blacks are left behind in America. Only an idiot will agree to such idiotic statements. Watch the video.

    You honestly believe that Obama is a neo-nazi and not the skin heads who beat other races? Btw, I know    that you are talking about this faux GE controversy;

    Rush is such a freaking genius. That was hilarious. He’s so right about Detroit. Obama chose to praise organized labor in a city run by organized labor and destroyed by it. Detroit is a burnt out shell of a city. Detroit is precisely what happens when labor unions have power. Utter destruction.

    ACORN and Ayers have been training young blacks to hate America. Have you seen the curriculums Ayers has put together during his educational career? Basically neo-marxist cr_p. And might I suggest that growing up and being indoctrinated into that cult does leave you behind? I did watch the video, and he is essentially correct in his statements – you just aren’t thoroughly versed in Black Liberation Theology and Marxism. If you were, you’d recognize the prevalence of it in Obama’s rhetoric.

    As for Nazi – being a National Socialist – and “neo” meaning new… yeah you could call Obama a neo-socialist. I think he’s more of the Chavez/Castro variety, but I won’t quibble about the flavor.

    And GE is not a “faux controversy”. GE doesn’t pay any taxes. They’ve shipped thousands of jobs overseas. And you can’t say they haven’t benefitted from Obama’s green agenda, or the fact thet Jeffrey Immelt is part of Obama’s administration. Tell you what: change “GE” to “Haliburton”, and “Obama” to “Bush”. There, maybe that’ll get your panties in a bunch. GE and Obama is worse than you ever imagined Haliburton was with Bush.

    Hoffa used a poorly chosen metaphor to cheer on, and advocate for, ”getting out to vote”. That’s clear when you look at, and listen to, the full un-bastardized quote/video.

    Rush Limbaugh, Hoffa’s slick, sick, psychotic accuser, is first, and foremost, an incessant liar. His lies are countless, and they are easily proved. He is also, and this is the kicker, guilty of violating Title18, Chapter 115, of U.S.Code, on a very regulary basis.

    My problem is with the reckless, irresponsible childbearing decisions these established government welfare payments promote. 

    Being responsible for the care and upbringing of a child should be a well-though-out, planned and considered decision; not something influenced and enabled by a government monetary guarantee! 

    As for the two-parent Nigerian households, that would be comparable to the 70% two-parent black households here in the United States – before welfare!

    In August of 2011, the NYTimes and CBS did a poll. You probably heard of it from jackasses like Limbaugh, because it showed the President’s poll numbers were down to like 44%. He probably forgot to tell you how far the mighty Tea Party has fallen and he knew you would never check.

    Limbaugh has more contempt for you than I do!

    And, john, I do hate to tell you that the election in 2010 was, like, in 2010. Tea Party members couldn’t even win then, as I recall seeing Christine O’Donnell, Sharon Angle, and that nut who was too crazy even for Alaska’s resumes on Monster.com.

    Still, I do love the logic of “well, hell, they done won an election like a year ago.” By that standard, the President should still expect to be at 52%. He is not.

    The Left calls “socialist” a hateful term, and you think what he said doesn’t rise to that standard?

    It’s ”Chicago (or Venezuela) Politics, 101″.

    I’ve seen dozens of Tea Rally’s broadcast over C-Span & the cables, and I’ve never seen the rampant Racism, or plethora of guns; nothing as it’s depicted by the Left.

It’s a really unhealthy attitude.  Sorry, your post can’t be taken seriously…it doesn’t even mean anything. Try again please.

    I think I understand how you feel Norbit, however, this whole thing is a back and forth fiasco that always gives the other side the high-ground. It was just as ridiculous for media outlets to make an issue of the Palin map as it is to make an issue of this. No one is calling for violence, and frankly, name-calling is always juvenile. American outrage is being misdirected. These penny-ante wars are a sideshow to divert our attention from the real issues of our time, peak resources and the depletion of American capital.

    I hope you know that I am black. Please, can you explain to me how Ayers and ACORN have taught me to hate America? Keep believing Rush’s BS!!!!!  So you 100% believe that young blacks hate America? I know from this conversation that you have little or no black friends. How can you believe that blacks train their young to hate America? Why don’t you go and ask you black friend if he does that? You and Rush are sick! Racist.

    I can bet my life that you do not know the difference between socialism and a social programme. Bailing out a company with govt funds is not socialist unless it was forced or mandatory. Other capitalist countries have done that to avoid their economies crashing with the failure of their big comapanies.

    Rush is always fit to be tied, in 5 point restraints in a mental institution that is. I wonder if he’s gotten over that ingrown hair on his *SS that kept him out of Vietnam. With as much as he sits on his fat *SS he probably has hemorrhoids and that’s why he needs Oxycontin’s he sits on his coward, lazy *SS to much.

    For now, we’re trying to determine whether Rush Limbaugh has violated “Title 18, Chapter 115, of U.S.Code, on a very regulary basis”.

    Rush Limbaugh is a threat to the Office of the President of the United States. The case is crystal clear.

    That’s the most misinformed thing I’ve heard in ages. Go back to school and take some history classes. A) How can do Illegal Aliens have “more rights”? What does that even mean? B) Illegal aliens pay more benefits and pay more tacos then American people? Besides not making any sense, not all illegal immigrants (or legal ones for that matter) are Mexican. C) How exactly would you save trillions of dollars by eliminating the lowest paid and most efficient arm of the American workforce. You would drive businesses like Tyson’s chicken and ConAgra to their knees, not to mention all the hotels and restaurants. Having just taken a Mexican American history course, I can recommend a number of great books on the subject, particularly, “the Miliatarization of the US-Mexico Border” by Timothy J.

    Since you grew up in Nigeria perhaps you don’t know that education is here for blacks & whites equally.  In fact, for the past 50 years there was affirmative action in force..meaning if there were a black person & a white person applying to the same college, regardless of who scored higher, the black person got the position…so how can you suggest there has not been equal opportunity for both races?   You ask what have Republicans done for the poor?  They followed the Constitution and gave tax cuts equally, not based on a person’s personal success.  Poor people do not create jobs, by the way.
     I’m not sure what your  last comment signifies about the way blacks are treated in the USA.  Maybe you could clarify the connection to the majority of households in Nigeria having two parents and exactly how that involves white people in the USA….?  Seriously, I don’t get it.

    Who is cherry picking data now? What else did the poll show?
    Congress: Disapproval: 82%
    Republicans in Congress: Disapproval: 72%
    Democrats in Congress: Disapproval: 66%
    President Obama: Approve: 46% Disapprove: 47%
    Tea Party: Favorably: 20%, Unfavorably 40%
    Spending cuts don’t go far enough in debt-ceiling agreement: 44% 
    Spending cuts are about right: 29%
    Spending cuts went too far: 15%
    Debt-ceiling should have included tax increases: 50%
    Only spending cuts: 44%
    So the Tea Party has a higher approval rating than Congress, and a lower disapproval rating than Congress, Congressional Democrats, Congressional Republicans, and President Obama.

    Most conservatives aren’t playing “victim”, that’s where the cute little proggie pieces of crap have the market cornered. Most are simply pointing out the hysterical hypocrisy of the little darlings. The reason that it doesn’t work on the conservative side is that conservatives are civilized, progressives aren’t, but on the other hand, most uneducated, ignorant liberal slobs aren’t very well trained in anything outside of carrying signs and chanting like the dumb ass little marionettes that they are.

    He is the dictator of the fascist republican regime.  Limbaugh’s stamp has to be on every policy before they can trumpet it to their unwashed, knuckle-dragging low-information constituents.  What we knew as the republican party is a crazy, fringe movement full of religious fanatics and rabid xenophobes.

  • donalda

    Right on.  Welfare is a white thing.  Just as many white people are on the dole and just as many of those poor white women have children out of wedlock.  It’s sheer racism that is behind the overemphasis on the black underclass and its pathology. Meanwhile, successful blacks in the upper and middle classes and impoverished and working class whites are all but ignored.

    Right.  Fifty years of affirmative action and everything is suddenly equal.  What about the people not privileged enough to go to college? What about the discrimination in hiring, housing and the criminal justice system.  Honestly, white people who have the luxury of never having to seriously consider race and who don’t know much about the history of African American people and their continuing struggles here need to STFU.  I can assure you that our Nigeria friend knows more about being black in the U.S. or anywhere else than you do.

The Tea Party is a made-up group created out of thin air to give the appearance of a populous movement  so Republicans can energize their psycho base for 2012.  Only the ignorant are falling for it.  Labor, minorities, women and all sensible people vote Democratic and these Republicans know it.  That’s why they have to resort to voter suppression, lies, and wedge issues repeated over and over on the Rupert Murdoch ruled media.

    I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer
    But all the people that you made in your image
    See them starving in the street
    ‘Cause they don’t get enough to eat from god
    I can’t believe in you

    Dear god, sorry to disturb you but…
    I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
    We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
    And all the people that you made in your image
    See them fighting in the street
    ‘Cause they can’t make opinions meet about god
    I can’t believe in you

    Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
    Did you make mankind after we made you?
    And the devil too!

    Dear god don’t know if you noticed but…

    And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
    And all the people that you made in your image
    still believing that junk is true
    Well I know it ain’t, and so do you
    Dear god
    I can’t believe in
    I don’t believe

    I won’t believe in heaven or hell
    No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
    No pearly gates, no thorny crown
    You’re always letting us humans down
    The wars you bring, the babes you drown
    Those lost at sea and never found
    And it’s the same the whole world ’round
    The hurt I see helps to compound
    That father, son and holy ghost
    Is just somebody’s unholy hoax
    And if you’re up there you’ll perceive
    That my heart’s here upon my sleeve
    If there’s one thing I don’t believe in

    WALT WHITMAN: I Sing the Body Electric:

    “I sing the body electric,
    The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
    They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
    And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul.
    Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
    And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
    And if the body does not do fully as much as the soul?
    And if the body were not the soul, what is the soul?
    2
    The love of the body of man or woman balks account, the body itself
    balks account,
    That of the male is perfect, and that of the female is perfect.
    The expression of the face balks account,
    But the expression of a well-made man appears not only in his face,
    It is in his limbs and joints also, it is curiously in the joints of
    his hips and wrists,
    It is in his walk, the carriage of his neck, the flex of his waist
    and knees, dress does not hide him,
    The strong sweet quality he has strikes through the cotton and broadcloth,
    To see him pass conveys as much as the best poem, perhaps more,
    You linger to see his back, and the back of his neck and shoulder-side.”

    “As I see my soul reflected in Nature,
    As I see through a mist, One with inexpressible completeness,
    sanity, beauty,
    See the bent head and arms folded over the breast, the Female I see.”
    6
    The male is not less the soul nor more, he too is in his place,
    He too is all qualities, he is action and power,
    The flush of the known universe is in him,
    Scorn becomes him well, and appetite and defiance become him well,
    The wildest largest passions, bliss that is utmost, sorrow that is
    utmost become him well, pride is for him,
    The full-spread pride of man is calming and excellent to the soul,
    Knowledge becomes him, he likes it always, he brings every thing to
    the test of himself,
    Whatever the survey, whatever the sea and the sail he strikes
    soundings at last only here,
    (Where else does he strike soundings except here?)

    The man’s body is sacred and the woman’s body is sacred,
    No matter who it is, it is sacred–is it the meanest one in the
    laborers’ gang?
    is it one of the dull-faced immigrants just landed on the wharf?
    Each belongs here or anywhere just as much as the well-off, just as
    much as you,

    Each has his or her place in the procession.
    (All is a procession,
    The universe is a procession with measured and perfect motion.)
    Do you know so much yourself that you call the meanest ignorant?
    Do you suppose you have a right to a good sight, and he or she has
    no right to a sight?
    Do you think matter has cohered together from its diffuse float, and
    the soil is on the surface, and water runs and vegetation sprouts,
    For you only, and not for him and her?”

    They soon shall hear the bullets flying
    We’ll shoot the generals on our own side.

    No saviour from on high delivers
    No faith have we in prince or peer
    Our own right hand the chains must shiver
    Chains of hatred, greed and fear
    E’er the thieves will out with their booty [give up their booty]
    And give to all a happier lot.
    Each [those] at the forge must do their duty
    And we’ll strike while the iron is hot.

    Rush is still fine tuning the lie on this one. He’s conflicted, does he craft an image to his audience of evil Obama behind the curtain pulling the strings and writing scripts for his minions all conspiring against this country

    Or does he retaliate for Bush who was correctly identified as a significant contributor to the declining average IQ of americans and present Obama as the minion whose scripts are written for him

    Amusing listening to him twist and torture himself trying to juggle these two conflicting narratives. But with the caliber of intelligence and grip on reality his audience possesses, he has nothing to worry about

    As much as I’m rooting for Obama losing in 2012, the one reservation I have is how insufferable rush will get. Best scenario one hopes for is for the best of two worlds, Obama loses but Rush’s candidate does not win the primaries… long story short: go Romney, go Huntsman

    Donalda, I certainly don’t know as much about being black as a black person, but I can say the same of every other color & ethnicity, just as you can. Do you know how it is to be white? I do know how it is to be a human being where things happen to us that aren’t always fair. That doesn’t fall into any particular color category.
    There are plenty of people, white & other, that cannot afford to go to college and still have to find jobs to support themselves. I worked all my life with no particular skills, and raised 4 sons on my own. I attended community college after working 10 hours a day. Please stop looking at yourself as a victim. It doesn’t make anything better, but it does allow you to excuse yourself from participating in your own growth. There has never been any kind of gratitude at the multitudes of white people that fought to stop discrimination in all forms. You seem to believe that every white person in this country has aimed to harm black people without realizing the gains were achieved by the same white people you condemn and say ‘not enough’. I never had enough either & I can’t blame it on color. It’s life on life’s terms as we all have to live.

    “They don’t call it the Liberal media for nothing!”  Who is “they”?  I think the “they” are people like you who call foul everytime the mainstream media neutralize one of your causes. I for one listen or watch many media outlets  Oh by the way, I just happen to feel Rush is an idiot that is why I stopped listening to him. However he does not standalone in the talk show catagory I would place in the catagory of idiot.

    I normally don’t step down to your level on a response, but I’ll make an exception in this case . I’m sorry but they are still trying to fumigate the place from the last Administration.

    Palin certainly didn’t have a problem with him referring to a group of representatives for special needs children & adult, as well as the special needs adults, as “retards.”

    It’s only “funny” or “metaphorical” or “(fill in bullshit excuse here) if it comes from a right winger. 

    It’s treason or thuggery when it comes from the left.

    Frankly, as the daughter of a farm boy who became an 8th grade drop out due to lack of health care and got his GED when he was 35 and had been in the military for nearly 20 years (before retiring a decade later and becoming one of those evil high school union custodians), I find this whining about Hoffa’s language pretty hilarious. 

    The right wing and all the white collar intellectuals who haven’t gotten their hand dirty since… ever?… clearly have no idea what people who actually work for a living are like, especially those who with their hands. They talk a big line, but most don’t have a clue.

    It was right on the mark little man. It’s point was that Unions are not known for expressing their violence in words only.

    The Goons follow their leaders with blind compassion as history has shown when they killed Hoffa’s father.

    I bet you’re an expert on Unions now just like you’re an expert in Military strategy and FDR’s non involvement in WWII.

    What about the tasteless comment about Tea Party members wanting to Hang Blacks by Andre’ Carson one of the Leaders of the Black Caucus and a member of Congress.

    You leftists were all up in arms when you blamed everyone but Democrats from ratcheting up hate and you idiots are the most hateful idiots on the planet.

    Limbaugh is a shock jock who likes to use his celebrity to attack President Obama for personal and financial gain, not for the good of the country. It is not up to the President to correct Hoffa who is quite capable of speaking for himself. And Hoffa, said nothing wrong. The intent of the workers of the country has to be a combined effort using BOOTS AND BALLOTs to get rid of the SOB’s who would rather let the people drown in debt, hunger and homelessness, than pass a single program that may give Obama success. What kind of people can sleep at night, knowing that millions are suffering, you have the power to change that, and choose, CHOOSE to do nothing. The TBAGGERS WON in 2010 promising JOBS and they have not done that. Their real intent has been all along to defeat Obama, enrich the uber rich, protect the wealth of corporations and undemine our democracy in favor of an oligarchy. It really is desperate times for american workers and with boots and ballots we will reclaim the EARTH that was won in the CIVIL WAR and rebuild the nation where all people are equal once again.

    I don’t think you received an appropriate amount of attention for your comment.  I am a Philosopher, and I see plenty of dots to be connected!

    Well done, there is much to work with there, and I will add such to my journal.  Thank you…

    To defeat the opposition and send them home is what politicians are supposed to do. 

    To “take them out” is the language of assassination, or is at least a military euphemism for killing the enemy in combat. Rush Limbaugh has never called for the murder or killing of any Democrats, no matter how much they might deserve to die.

    Every person
    of color is a victim of a race-based society that discriminates against them in
    some way.  That being said, it is
    possible to be a victim BUT also be moving forward with one’s life.  That old conservative meme of “victimhood” is
    BS and doesn’t work on me.  I refuse to
    accept your frame on that point.  Since,
    you didn’t understand my post let me elucidate matters:  I was simply citing the historical
    circumstances that have contributed to blacks as a whole having less than the
    majority.  Because I know my history, I
    realize that white people of good conscious have always assisted blacks in
    their struggles for equality.   There are white people as individuals who
    are both good and bad, and then there is the system of entrenched
    institutionalized racism that was established hundreds of years ago that
    thankfully is slowly but surely being dismantled.  All I ask of certain
    white people on this forum that they not spout off nonsense without having a
    true grasp of the historical facts. You may not be able to help being in the
    majority and not having a sense of what it means to be black, brown or red but
    you can know your history.

    Rush Limpballz is the emperor of the republican party.  They don’t DARE refute him.

  • Sadgegoddess

    You’re probably right.  Palin’s so dumb.  We give her way too much credit.

  • donalda

    I think they seized on that map thing because the truth of the matter is T-party folks were bringing guns to political events. Some have also called for the assassination of the president and Palin was consistently using violent rhetoric and metaphors in her speech.  Right wingers have also murdered physicians who perform abortions.  

    This republican party, and by extension the T-party is certifiably insane. Same with the libertarians.  Let’s not sugarcoat it.  I personally think these people need to be checked.  There is no equivalency of their craziness on the Left, and if we don’t stop pretending there is, we do so at our peril.

    I love it when someone disagrees with you, they say “I know history and  you don’t” or “STFU” How silly is that?  I’ve lived much longer & understand history much better than most.  In fact it was my top subject all through school.  There is nothing I’ve said that would give anyone reason to suggest that I don’t know history.  You seem to attack any who don’t think as you do, Donalda.  Curiously, nothing I’ve read of your posts show me that you are of superior intellect to anyone else on this blog.   You would do well to listen more/read more with an open mind and be less critical…….That’s how people learn something different.

    Wow, how well said, and how TRUE!!!!  I am soooooo sick of the REVERSE discrimination going on!!

  • Jerry Baustian

    It was interesting… one person brought a rifle to a tea party event. NBC showed a photo of the man with a rifle slung over his shoulder. But they did a bit of creative cropping, because the original photo showed that the man was black and about 30-35 years old, wearing a white dress shirt and dark slacks. Not exactly the kind of image of a racist gun-loving tea partier that NBC wanted to promote. So in the edited photo shown by NBC, you could not tell his race or age.

    The killing of abortionists is a totally different subject, and outside the bounds of discussion of the tea party movement.

    As for calls for the assassination of a president, not only were there books and movies about the killing of George W Bush, but for several years nearly every left-wing protest demonstration included people holding signs calling for the death of Bush and/or Cheney. So do not pretend that left-wing hate-speech does not exist, because it is ubiquitous.
