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.

The Death of the Race Card

Everything that has a beginning has an end...

In Washington these days, every time someone stands up to tell the bald truth they are at risk of being called a Racist. "You lie!" racist. "Obamacare will kill off medical care as we know it!" racist. "Congressman Rangel has been cheating on his taxes for years - and he writes the tax code!" you racist!

Emotional fatigue. That will deal most of this political correctness the death blow. Yes, the death of all forms of political correctness will take some time. We are witnessing the beginning stages.

Every word has a well of emotion attached to it. Use it too much, and the word goes from Wired to Tired to Expired. What will the liberals do when this racist six-shooter has no more bullets?

I believe in the American people. However, aside from all their strengths, Americans are too willing to entertain fools and even those who walk up and slap them in the face. But not forever.

The American people are waking up to the lies they have been told. Global warming... peak oil... government-generated statistics... taxation... the list goes on and on. That's good and a sign we are growing up and putting childish things behind us.

I used to work in a government bureaucracy and every year they marched us into "workplace relations" training for two hours. I remember coming out of one - the message between the lines was that if you were white, you were naturally a racist. That really torqued me off. A fellow captain said quietly, "That was really revealing!" - and sure enough, it was.

Every year thereafter I would expose the workplace relations briefer as a racist - for example, I would uplift Condi Rice. For a brief moment in time, the briefer showed intense hatred of this "sellout". It was plain as day to everyone. The other workers began to jump in and verbally shred most of the points presented in the briefing. I sat in the back with a smirk. Mission accomplished.

Like I said, I believe in the American people. It has been said before that there are two types of Americans: those who believe in the common sense of the American people, and those who constantly defer to those in authority, the elite.

So don't worry. The stock of Political Correctness is going down. Common sense is going up.

When you see silly things like this, know well the end is nigh:
