Liberals Kill Racism

Liberals going after Rush Limbaugh remind me of the sweaty, screaming hordes of pious Muslims at Mecca, inflamed by fervid religious passion, stoning Satan and trampling fellow believers in the emotionally-pitched frenzy.

Why is is the Rush story important? 

Because they've called him a racist.  A serious charge.  Words mean things, and the misuse of words cheapens them.  Everyone on all sides have thrown "Hitler" and "Nazi" around until, unfortunately, being called a mass murderer or a member of his hideous regime is no longer an insult. 

"Racist!" has lost it's sting

The left has done the same mortal damage to the word "racist."  They shout it through media bullhorns as they clutch their chain of worry beads, caressing the "bigot" and "speaking in code" beads as they go.  

Well, I'm done. That word doesn't work on me anymore.  And after this past year of leveling the charge at everyone who didn't vote for Obama or anyone who now criticizes him, the word "racist" is a spent shell casing. 

The libs went full auto, scattering rounds everywhere, hitting nothing

And that's unfortunate, because bigotry still exists in this country, but it's legitimacy is held hostage by limousine liberal races hustlers, including the NFL crowd.

Excellent Limbaugh Summary... By a Brit, No Less!

Toby Herndon has the best Rush summary I've seen so far.  He sums the issue up nicely and provides buku links.

Here's a short excerpt that summarizes how these virulent (and completely made-up) quotes got into the national bloodstream:

Trouble is, he didn’t say either of these outrageous things. 

And it wasn’t difficult to check, as protein wisdom shows here. They originated from, er, Wikipedia and Wikiquotes. Both quotes ended up in this book – a hit job that doesn’t cite any sources. They’re also included in this internet list posted a year ago and endlessly ripped off ever since.

 I love this trenchant dig at our lazy, biased press:

The irony is, of course, that the people reporting this as fact are the same types who are always denouncing bloggers and the internet as forces of evil intent on destroying proper journalism – proper journalism being the kind that involves checking facts.

In the case of Rush Limbaugh, however, it seems to be enough that the intention (i.e. to show the talk radio host is a racist) is considered pure.

Hush Rush: Bigotry Goes Equal Opportunity

Why haven't we cowards accepted Attorney General Eric Holder's invitation to racial dialogue? 

The outcry over Rush Limbaugh's attempt to purchase an NFL franchise is exhibit A.  Entitled groups own the conversation and make the rules, often on the fly.  Those authorized to freely dialog on race form an exclusive club. 

The rest of us can only come in through the back door, and then we must sit quietly while we are admonished and clucked over by the aggrieved and the anointed.  We must choose our words, nay, even our targets carefully lest we be branded with the scarlet R.    

Too often, the dialog becomes a lecture, and ordinary Americans of all stripes don't like being shouted at through bullhorns.  I know many black people as well who have refused to join the dialog because they are worn out by the implied tokenism. 

Many also tire of getting cornered into defending the Jacksons and Sharptons, or worse, repudiating them when they may actually agree with their larger point while simultaneously decrying their bombast.  

Bigotry still exists in America, but life's too short.  It's easier to just shut your pie hole and keep moving.

Even Jason Whitlock, the nation's most credible traffic cop working the intersection of sports and society, thinks Limbaugh owning the Rams would be a bad idea.

Here are two quotes from the best-of Rush Limbaugh racist collection:

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray (Dr. King's assassin). We miss you, James. Godspeed."

And ...

"Let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back. I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

You can argue the comments are presented out of context and were meant as jokes. Then I'd argue that Limbaugh needs to get on the comedy-club circuit and out of the business of attempting to influence presidential politics.

Jason admits the comments were yanked from their larger, sarcastic context by provocateurs wanting only to inflame, but it doesn't matter.  Limbaugh is not authorized to make such cracks that are routine fodder for liberal comedians, black and white. 

Rush doesn't belong to that exclusive club, but he brazenly barges in the front door amid billowing clouds of fragrant cigar smoke and pungent right-wing commentary.  He doesn't know his place.

So he is deemed a racist.  This is why a large segment of the population just avoids the whole subject.  Invite me in to "dialog" and then castigate me for saying the wrong thing?  Nah, I don't need the hassle.

There are certain franchises in America, exclusive clubs, where only the right kind of people are welcome.  I'm staying away.  I know my place.

Solution to Anti-Abortion Terrorism

By now, we've all heard about the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller. Murdering and bombing in the name of God is rare in this country, but it is not unheard of. Without pausing to consider the motives of the perpetrators, some call it terrorism.

Abortion laws in this country have inflamed the religious sensibilities of the populace, and an infinitesimal percentage, egged on by Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and others, just can't control themselves, so great is their outrage. We saw the end result of this on Sunday.

The only way to extirpate this violence from our land forever is to completely and unequivocally outlaw abortion in all forms. Call it the Muslim Cartoon Precedent.

Time to follow the European-UN-US Liberal line of thinking and capitulate to the anti-abortion movement. Just as Jihadi hate-preachers and their religion cannot be blamed for Islamic terror, we cannot blame Chrisitanity, nor Rush, nor O'Reilly, nor the anti-abortion Christians for this crime. We must try to understand and empathize with those who lash out in religious fervor at the abortionists who so flagrantly transgress the laws of God.

Better yet, we must refrain from offending the Christians. The only way to do that is to ban this abhorrent practice. For, if O'Reilly is to blame for putting the gun in the murderer's hand, the act of abortion itself must be logically held as the root cause. For, without it, O'Reilly would not talk about it and the violently deranged would not dance to his deadly tune.

Outlawing all abortions is the only way to end this senseless violence!

Everybody Needs Somebody to Hate: A Rush of Emotions

Liberal Democrats define themselves by who they hate

Working class family with a 5-gallon tank flush toilet and a carbon emiting barbeque grill: Bad

Millionaire enviro hypocrites with a carbon footprint the size of a small African country, wrapping the globe in private jet contrails: Good

Bankers who squander trillions of private investor money: Bad

Politicians and government bureaucrats who squander trillions of taxpayer money: Good.

Presidents Bush and Reagan: Bad

Presidents Carter and Obama: Good

You get the picture. Every Us needs a Them. Every great movement needs a nemesis, someone to hate.

In Orwell’s 1984, the people of Oceania hate Emmanuel Goldstein, traitor to the party. In real life, Stalinists poured out their hatred on Leon Trotsky, forcing him into a Mexican exile

The Democrats have found their own Emmanuel Goldstein, their own object of hatred: Rush Limbaugh.

James Carville, everybody at MSNBC, and now even White House operatives are stirring up their own version of the Two Minutes Hate. They direct their vituperation at the too-wealthy, overly-articulate Rush Limbaugh, a man of outsize girth and powerful rhetoric who dares criticize The Great Leader. Of course, they don't really believe their own BS, but it's good for stirring up the proletariate and distracting them from The Party's shortcomings.

The Democrats remind me of the sweaty, screaming hordes of pious Muslims at Mecca, inflamed by fervid religious passion, stoning Satan, often trampling fellow believer in the emotionally-pitched frenzy.

Who's the leader of the Republican party? Who cares? It's leaderless and adrift, like Europe or the UN. This means nothing to conservatives. Conservatives don’t need a leader. We’re conservative and we do conservative things because that’s the way we are, not because someone tells us to.

Sign the Democrats' Rush Limbaugh Petition!

The Democrats, having nothing better to do, have started an on-line petition against Rush Limbaugh because he said he wanted President Obama to fail. In the Democrats' funhouse world, it's OK to wish for defeat in Iraq and trash President Bush at every turn, but speaking ill of their chosen one is beyond the pale. I went and signed it. Here's what I wrote:

It's called the first Amendment. Just like when I was wiring up radios in Iraq and Sen Reid declared all my efforts were in vain. Stupid? Yes. Irresponsible? Yes. Illegal? No

You politicians have real constitutional and budget problems. Instead of facing them, you waste time on trivialities like this...

You are irresponsible and should be ashamed.

Please go sign the petition! Sign early, sign often, and be sure to leave them a scalding message. Like everything the liberals do, this is a farce. So in the spirit of bipartisanship, join in and do your part to make it even more farcical!
