Meet Obama's "token racist" nominee to the Supreme Court?
That is what the left said about Justice Clarence Thomas, when he was picked by Herbert Walker Bush to become his nominee for the Supreme Court. That was then, and this is now. The media has transformed back into its "historic" reporting mode. The news that Obama has picked a liberal Hispanic female has the media giddy with delight and joy. I have no doubt Chris Mathews received another thrill up his leg today. Her background however is pretty radical in regards to the issue of race. Nobody on the right ever expected Obama to pick a constructionist judge for his nominee, and Obama didn't disappoint. When will liberals give up the con game of trying to pass Obama off as a "centrist"? This is a statement Miss. Sotomayor made that should become a huge negative mark on her qualifications to sit on the bench.
Sonia Sotomayor "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life",
What exactly does race have to do with the interruption of the constitution or law in general? Race would only play a factor in a judge’s decision if the judge was indeed an "activist judge" and not a constructionist judge to begin with. Her statement was not only racist, but it exposes her hand on what type of judge she would be in the Supreme Court. Can you all imagine the response if Chief Justice John Roberts would have said the following
Justice Roberts "“I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a Latina female who hasn’t lived that life"
Judge Roberts would have been crucified if he made the exact same statement Sonia Sotomayor made. That's why I call these people moral frauds and two faces, double talking snakes. I believe that label is appropriate.The media of course is not reporting the two main reasons why Obama picked Sonia Sotomayor. Most on the right haven't figured it out themselves. The nomination of Miss. Sotomayor is political payback for the majority of Hispanic voters that voted for Obama last year. Some political pundits say the Hispanic turnout was key to Obama's victory. The second reason is that Obama doesn't want to alienate women that voted for him. Not having a female liberal on the bench will not sit well with liberal female voters. If Governor Sarah Palin does run in 2012, the female liberal vote might have betrayed Obama and supported Palin in protest for being taken advantage of and overlooked. Obama is a putz, but he is a calculating putz. I even have to give him that much credit. Everything with Obama is about calculation.
Rush Limbaugh nailed it right on the head today in his segment on Sonia Sotomayor. I'm sure he’ll be called a racist just for stating the obvious about Miss Sotomayor. The whole thing about non-whites being incapable of being racists is so retarded in nature by the left. Power has nothing to do with it, and Sotomayor's racist leanings are no better then the racist Hispanic group "La Raza". For those that don't know what La Raza stands for, it translates into "the race" in Spanish. I have more to come on Miss. Sotomayor.

"I realize that it is an unpopular and unhumanitarian position, for which I have been
excoriated by "liberal" colleag[u]es, but I think Plessy v. Ferguson was right and should

-William H. Rehnquist-
Those are the words of a "racist conservative" who sat on the court (as Chief Judge) until 2005! Racist conservatives judges have ruled on the U.S. Supreme Court since it's inception.
On the other hand, I don't know much about Sotomayor other than her ruling during the 1995 Major League Baseball strike. In doing a bit of research I found that she was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush in 1991 and confirmed in 1992.
She also upheld the G.W. Bush's Mexico City Policy that stopped foreign organizations from receiving U.S. funds to "neither perform nor actively promote abortion."
CB"Rush Limbaugh nailed it right on the head today in his segment on Sonia Sotomayor. I'm sure he'llll be called a racist just for stating the obvious about Miss Sotomayor."Rush Limbaugh has a vendetta to fulfill. He want's President Obama to fail. So if Obama picked Jesus Christ, Limbaugh would call it racist.
Limbaugh has gone far beyond simply being racist...he hates anyone or anything that doesn't agree with him. Sotomayor being a Liberal, "Hispanic", and a "woman" is prime fodder for his canon.
So just look at this entire nomination in this way- Now the racist conservative right has a not only a Black man as President to call a racist, now they have a Hispanic woman they can claw at.
Allen, defend her racist statement adequately and maybe you can make a point.
Affirmative Action is like throwing a bone to Racial Crybabies. I believe the best way to overcome racial stereotypes is to shame the racists who believe them. Obama is very racist because he attended a racist church and nothing MSM or Chris Matthews can say will change that ugly truth.
I guess a lot of white people who voted for Obama feel white guilt and self-loathing. Which explains the whole kill whitey rhetoric from Black Nationalists, Brown Supremacists and other race-based organizations. Author's note: these organizations are leftwing!
p allen quoting William Rehnquist ""I realize that it is an unpopular and unhumanitarian position, for which I have been excoriated by "liberal" colleag[u]es, but I think Plessy v. Ferguson was right and should be re-affirmed."."
Do liberals ever follow through with their head lines allen? You called Rehnquist a racist based on a ruling, but did you point out why he thought Plessy vs Ferguson was right? Of course you didn't. It's always about the seriousness of the charge isn't allen? You probably believe Barry Goldwater was a "racist conservative" as well. If I was a judge and ruled in the same manner Rehnquist did on the case of Plessy vs Ferguson, would I be a racist allen? The word "racist" has been completely bastardized by the left. It has taken on a new meaning of not agreeing with liberals on the issue of race other rather then not liking other racial groups.
P Allen "On the other hand, I don't know much about Sotomayor other than her ruling during the 1995 Major League Baseball strike.

It wasn't because he wanted to allen. Certain circumstances were behind that nomination that forced Bush 41 to make.

The spewing of the "racist caught word" by the left is at times annoying allen. Its like the boy who cried wolf one time too many,
You liberals had no problem attacking Clarence Thomas "black man" during his nomination and still to this day, "based on race.
Hispanic judicial nominee Miguel Angel Estrada was savagely attacked and famed you liberals. I did say Estrada Hispanic. Funny but Limbaugh supported Estrada and Thomas. So much for the your claim of racism allen. I can't forgot another "Hispanic" that was attacked brutally and had his reputation dragged through the mud by the intolerant left. Does the name Alberto Gonzalez ring a bell allen? Rush also defended and supported Gonzalez. So now that the hand you were dealt was bad, try another hand. This is why you can't use the word racist as a cookie cutter attack word. At some point you will have to back it up.
p allen "So just look at this entire nomination in this way- Now the racist conservative right has a not only a Black man as President to call a racist, now they have a Hispanic woman they can claw at."
I'm sure conservatives are going to call Sotomayor racists names like house nigger, simbo sambo, uncle tom like the left did Clarence Thomas and Janet Rogers Brown. Oh my mistake allen, she was just called an "aunt jemima". How many times do I have to tell you allen that the left doesn't have any high ground on which to stand in when it comes to race?
I'm sure conservatives are going to call Sotomayor racists names like house nigger, simbo sambo, uncle tom like the left did Clarence Thomas and Janet Rogers Brown. Oh my mistake allen, she was just called an "aunt jemima".
Tyrone please back this up with evidence. Liberals are never racist, I do not believe you.
CB;"You called Rehnquist a racist based on a ruling, but did you point out why he thought Plessy vs Ferguson was right?".
That's funny!
Watch this Tyrone...lets take your statement "EXACTLY" as stated, but switch the proper nouns.
You called SOTOMAYOR a racist based on a ruling, but did you point out why she thought THE CITY OF NEW HAVEN (now known as Ricci v. DeStefano) was right?Actually Tyrone, the question is do you think "EITHER" decision was right? By defending Rehnquist's written opinion on Plessy, you effectively agree with his statement.
Although I don't necessarily support Affirmative Action in many cases, I find it odd that you as a Black man would agree with separate and basically unequal doctrine for Blacks, yet disagree with a judges ruling for an equal opportunity for Blacks... that's just strange...
CB;"The spewing of the "racist caught word" by the left is at times annoying allen.".
But it doesn't bother you when it's done by Limbaugh??? Puh-leeezzzz!! It's annoying when it's done by "BOTH SIDES"!
CB;"Hispanic judicial nominee Miguel Angel Estrada was savagely attacked and famed you liberals. I did say Estrada Hispanic. Funny but Limbaugh supported Estrada and Thomas.".
As I said, it's done by both sides... As far as Limbaugh is concerned, (which I've also stated) he doesn't like "ANYONE" who disagrees with his philosophy. Particularly if they are Black, Hispanic or Women!!!
CB;"I'm sure conservatives are going to call Sotomayor racists names like house nigger, simbo sambo, uncle tom like the left did Clarence Thomas and Janet Rogers Brown.".
Most definitely conservatives will. Some will say it publicly, "MOST" will say it behind closed doors.
Anon;"Allen, defend her racist statement adequately and maybe you can make a point.".
I'm not going to defend any statement made by anyone! First off, unlike the Rehnquist statement, where anyone can view the entire written memo HERE, Sotomayor's statement really has no context. Basically, you would have to ask her what she meant...
Hey, "Little p", your characterization of Rush Limbaugh seems like it was made thinking that no one reading it has a radio. How do you do something like that and not realize how anybody reading such foolishness is shaking their head in disbelief and laughing their ass off at you? You in the twilight zone for true man.
iN PUERTO RACISM ABOUNDS. They dont tell you that in the beautiful Island made up of mainly three factions, African slaves, Spanish conquerors and Indians tribes. The mixture made a beautiful people. However the color of the skin still prevails. People the color of Allen are not given the same respect as the people with Tyrone's color. Just like in the Americas. This judge shows the black features but with the color of her white Spanish. There is no need to display bigotry, supporting hatred toward whites. It only divides the nation. If whites had been worst of the worst, all black in America would be dead. After slavery we had no weapons to fight back or food to feed ourselves.
Isnt it time to stop the hate and educate ourselves upwards instead of blaming the white man for slavery when Africans Muslims sold us to the whites who waited at the shore for the chained up African animist. East Africans submitted to Arab Islam and engaged in the Chattel slavery of African-non-Muslims. (See Roots)
Count B;"Hey, "Little p", your characterization of Rush Limbaugh seems like it was made thinking that no one reading it has a radio.".
"Little p???" Are you a "little pissed off" by my comments such much that you can't respond cordially?
Count B;"How do you do something like that and not realize how anybody reading such foolishness is shaking their head in disbelief and laughing their ass off at you?".
That all depends on who's reading it! Obviously you are "laughing your ass off." Yet, you can never be sure how many other "asses" are laughing with you!
Count B; "You in the twilight zone for true man.".
For true man? for true?? really for true???
I hate how the left has definitely rendered the word racist impotent. Some people would take any slight against them both real and imagined and turn it into a racial issue.
Like a black women owning a West Highland White Terrier being accused of being a self-hating sellout!
I think the left is grasping for straws when they play the race card.
I bet if Sarah Palin was black instead of white the left's attacks against her would be more vicious because she'd be a female minority you know the group that the left claims to champion the most.
The fact that she is a white christian woman makes her fair game to the left's nasty vicious slander and mean-spirited tactics. Liberals not being racist and intolerant. Don't make me laugh.
"Little p", you got the nerve to refer to my giving you a nickname that only refers to your first initial being in lower-case as "uncordial" after you outrageously and dishonestly slander a good and decent man? So, in addition to being a liar, you're very easily offended. Actually I notice that the offensive are often like that--sensitive like a schoolgirl.
This is a darn shame. Obama did not vet that woman. I am really supporting the New Haven firemen. Hopefully that case will be resolved before that woman sits on the bench. However, I am hoping that she does not get confirmed.

I called Sotomayor a racist based on her comment that came out of her mouth allen. Rehnquist never made such a statement. Do you see the difference? Trying to piggy back the two rulings is intellectually lazy allen. Sonia's ruling was based on her ideology based on her being a Hispanic woman. The New Haven law was discriminatory period, and those firefighters civil rights were violated period allen.
p allen "Actually Tyrone, the question is do you think "EITHER" decision was right? By defending Rehnquist's written opinion on Plessy, you effectively agree with his statement."
Rehnquist agreed with the Plessy ruling based on constitutional merit allen not judicial empathy allen. Once again its like comparing apples and oranges.
p allen "As I said, it's done by both sides... As far as Limbaugh is concerned, (which I've also stated) he doesn't like "ANYONE" who disagrees with his philosophy. Particularly if they are Black, Hispanic or Women!!!"
I've been following politics for a long time allen, and I've never seen republicans attack liberal Judicial nominees like Democrats do to Republican judicial nominees especially ethnic conservatives. Name a liberal judicial nominee that was attacked on the same level by conservatives that Clarance Thomas, Miguel Estrata and Albert Gonzalez were by the right. You always bring out the "both parties do it" excuses, when you can't find any "dirt" on the right to override my claims about the left allen. I'm so observant allen.
p allen "Most definitely conservatives will. Some will say it publicly, "MOST" will say it behind closed doors."
You know I was being sarcastic allen. Only liberals call black conservatives those names. I can imagine what would happened if McCain would have won the election and have appointed Janice Rogers Brown to the Supreme Court. The treatment towards her would be the polar opposite as it is now for Sotomayor.
Chilerkle "I hate how the left has definitely rendered the word racist impotent. Some people would take any slight against them both real and imagined and turn it into a racial issue."
The left has used the word racist so much, it has literally lost its potency. It has become nothing more then an attack word Chilerkle. Without the left throwing around the racist stereotypes of the right, the left would have nothing to run on. They even said themselves that if a person didn't vote for Obama, he or she must be a racist. The word has become nothing more then a tool Chilerkle..
p allen "Obama is very racist because he attended a racist church and nothing MSM or Chris Matthews can say will change that ugly truth."
The left can lay claim to being racial hypocrites Chilerkele. Conservatives need to call these people out for the two bit frauds they really are. If McCain was a member of a church that spewed the garbage that Trinity does, he campaign would have been over before it got started. Thats why I don't even pay liberals much attention any more when they invoke the race card. I yarn now when they use it.
arlene "This is a darn shame. Obama did not vet that woman. I am really supporting the New Haven firemen. Hopefully that case will be resolved before that woman sits on the bench. However, I am hoping that she does not get confirmed."
Obama didn't have to vet Sotomayor arelene. The media was going to cover for him one way or another.He could have picked a woman out of the gutter, and called her his nominee,and the media would have declared his choice the most brilliant choice in Judicial history. The first question that was asked by the media when Sarah Palin came on the scene was "did McCain vet her". Obama and the left are nothing without the media. Actually Sotomayor's Judicial career is pretty mediocre at best. That is why the media and liberals are focusing and promoting so much on her "life story".
One of my concern is about what will happen to the New Haven firemen discrimination case if not settled before Sotomayor gets on the bench. I am afraid that she will not recuse herself.
What has drawn so much attention to this TOKEN Supreme Court pick, is its connection with preference to race tokenism in the fire department. If we get a race token supreme court justice, then we can expect "race-token" rulings from the bench.
arlene "What has drawn so much attention to this TOKEN Supreme Court pick, is its connection with preference to race tokenism in the fire department. If we get a race token supreme court justice, then we can expect "race-token" rulings from the bench."
That is what Obama wants arlene. He said it himself that he wants empathy from the bench.Republicans in the Senate can't stop her even if they wanted to Arlene. I would love to see a filibuster of her nomination. The Senate has way too many weak moderate Republicans that won't put up a fight. Unless moderate Democrats bring rank against Obama, she will be confirmed arlene.
Just the fact that Obama can boldly say something as stupid as wanting "empathy on the bench" and there isn't a response of objection, disbelief, and ridicule from the people of this dumbed-down culture that once knew better, and that they are more likely to whoop and holler like groupies at a rock concert makes you want to cry.

Normally on this blog those who disagree with me refer to me by the name preceding the post. (eg. p.anthony, anthony allen, or allen) If you were using the name "little p" simply in jest, fine...I took no offense then, and I take no offense now.
In all actuality I was "ASKING" if you were pissed off, being that I did respond in the form of a question.
As far as "slandering a good man" goes, every person here has an opinion about their favorite, not so favored, and despised political figures and pundits. I would not expect you to refer any politician you did not like as an "angel in disguise." So, if I don't believe that Limbaugh or Rehnquist are "good men", that's just one mans opinion.
I was not offended, nor did I mean to offend you. So, If you were offended in any way, I cordially apologize...no harm, no foul.
President Obama has said he want an Internet Czar. Are we in Russia. Pravda said Obama is making America a communist state this week in their news. They know communism if anyone does. Americans have been dumbed down by a school system that teachs that Karl Marx was a benign theorist. Our colleges teach this lie. Communist is Marxism! He wrote the Communist Manifesto while in France.

I have to agree with you on that one allen. I've been tempted to just refer to you as mr. wrong. I'll stick to what I've been calling you.lol
Mr. Allen, sir, my dear good chap, may I just say that your response is utter rubbish.
There, is that high-toned enough for you?
Now let me get real and 'splain why I say that.
First and foremost this non apology dressed up like one must be in the official
political leftist handbook cause it is used all the time.
Rule one: Apologize for something, just not for what you did.
In this case the offense of calling someone a racist without cause or justification wasn't apologized for, instead you very lamely tried to explain it away as opinion, or as saying that Rush was just "unfavored" or "disliked", and instead "cordially aplolgized" to me.
What I need an aplogy for? And, of course as y'all always do it, that wasn't even a true apology. It was like this--"If you were offended, then I apologize" In other words, "Hey I'm cool, but I care about your feelings, so if you got your feelings hurt, then I'm sorry bout that."
About the thing of being offended. I gave no indication of being personally offended, but your response was all about being personally offended. What I objected to was the offense committed by you against truth.
In this case the person targetted was Limbaugh, someone I respect, but I have objected just as much elsewhere to some outrageous things said about Obama and others who I don't respect.
Truth is truth and lie is a lie. I love the truth and will defend it, not the person.
I also am sick and tired of the word "racist" being used like a weapon of intimidation to where it's becoming meaningless to the point of losing the righteous power that it should have.
If Limbaugh is a racist, and I somehow have missed it, let's see something. I damn sure would like to know if I have been so totally duped. It's a case of put up or shut up.
There was both harm and foul, but not to me, to the truth.
Melvin Count
She was indeed nominated by Bush Sr.
And she has acknowledged that her choice of words in claiming she'd "hope that a Latina woman with her wide array of experiences would come to a wiser decision than a white male" was poor.
It certainly was.
What's a somewhat more of a cause for concern is her view on the New Haven case that apparently saw race trumping even disability (Frank Ricci's dyslexia)...and her other "poorly worded" pronouncement that "this (the federal Appeals Court) is where policy is made".
Limbaugh is a commentator and as such he has the same intent as other commentators, such as the reliably wrong-headed and bone-headed Keith Olbermann...to advance the agenda they support....to, in effect, offer THEIR OWN opinions.
Limbaugh has every right to his opinions and Olbermann has every right to his....BUT Judges and especially SC Justices are NOT supposed to have their opinions influence their decisions.

With concern to Rush Limbaugh, frankly, I could care less what you think of him. My opinion is that he has "RACIST". Not an admitted racist, but one who attempts to hide (somewhat like the closet homosexual) the truth about himself. Although you might "think" the following are not "RACIST" quotes, I "BELIEVE" they are definitely racist.
Rush Limbaugh quotes
-”You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
-“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
-”Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
-”They oughtta change Black History Month to Black Progress Month and start measuring it.”
-”Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.” – in response to a black caller.
-”They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?” – regarding black people..
These were just some of the "verified" quotes from Limbaugh I obatained just by Goolgleing "Limbaugh Racist Comments." Proof enough?
p allen "Count, looks like we got off to a bad start. Needless to say, there's

This is not just a "BLOG" allen". It is a place where you come to get educated on how life really works on a a daily basis. This is a place for your daily liberal deprogramming and analytical butt kicking. This "blog" is more then just a "blog". This is a place people come to hear points of views that they would never hear on their nightly network newscasts. This place represents "the other side" of the story that the editorial staffs at the liberal daily rags leave out allen.
P Allen"But it doesn't bother you when it's done by Limbaugh??? Puh-leeezzzz!! It's annoying when it's done by "BOTH SIDES"!"
Present your facts allen!! Name the racist caught words Limbaugh has used over the last 20 years of his show. I'm laying the challenge down to you allen. What racist rhetoric has Limbaugh used against black liberals or conservatives. i should bet money on this, because it will be the easiest money I could make. I listen to Limbaugh almost daily, so I know the content of his show. Most liberals that try to smear Limbaugh don't even listen to his show. They have to rely on "media matters" to give them the cut and slice segment of what he said as something "controversial".

Welcome to the American Idol Electorate. They might not know who represents them in congress. They might now know who their governors are. They might not even know who the Vice President is, but they sure as hell know who won every American Idol and that Barack Obama is "cool". That is very scary.

Rules for Radicals
Rule #5 Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage. Every time a liberal uses the "race card", conservatives always go on the defensive. Liberals are using it now against Republicans in the Senate to quite them against Sotomayor. Conservatives have no reason to go on the defensive over something they didn't do. Their reactions are giving power to liberals to control the debate. Its not about liberals trying to prove conservatives are racists. They have shifted the debate to "prove that they aren't racists". Democrats and the media are making republicans "jump through hoops" in regards to Sonia Sotomayor, to prove "they aren't racists".
Rule #11 Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame."
Limbaugh is a huge symbol within the conservative movement. Liberals focused all their attentions on Limbaugh when he said "he hopes Obama's socialist policies fail". Limbaugh was then the frozen, polarized figure in which to attack. Then liberals went after other conservatives in order for them to denounce Limbaugh. This tactic was designed to destroy the unification within the Republican Party linked to Limbaugh. Its like the old saying
"when you destroy the foundation, the rest comes tumbling down".

Let me ask you this. You say you think he "attempts to hide" his racism. So how do you explain him saying the things you quoted? I can explain it for you. Although I have never heard any of these I'm guessing they were gathered by Media Matters, a lowlife leftist group who have one purpose and that is to quote conservatives out of context so they can slander and misrepresent them. If he actually said any of these things I can guarantee you that he was doing it to make a point and/or he was using parody which he goes in and out of all the time. The slow witted have a hard time following the quickness of his mind, and the trash like Media Matters take advantage of his condfidence in not being a racist that make him comfortable saying things that can either be misunderstood by the stupid, or missused by the wicked.
I don't think you are stupid, and I have no way of knowing if you are wicked, so I have to think that you have never listened to him at all, but for sure not enough to realize how completely out of character and ridiculous these quotes are.
Look, we don't know each other. Whatever comment I make in response to you has to do with something you've said here, and nothing else, so why don't you get over the ruffled feathers reactions and just deal with the issues. Ain't nobody getting any real life flesh and bone noses bent.
Peace Out

CB;"This is not just a "BLOG" allen". It is a place where you come to get educated on how life really works on a a daily basis. This is a place for your daily liberal deprogramming and analytical butt kicking.".
"Just a Blog" in the sense that, no one here holds the key to solving all of the problems of the world we live in. (although some might think they do...)
Daily deprogramming analytically???
Conservatives don't think analytically Tyrone. Conservatives typically use a more primitive approach when seeking to "deprogram"... like torture or water boarding. lol
CB;"Present your facts allen!! Name the racist caught words Limbaugh has used over the last 20 years of his show. I'm laying the challenge down to you allen. What racist rhetoric has Limbaugh used against black liberals or conservatives.".
I did once already. But for your reading pleasure, I'll post some of them again...
-”You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
-“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
-”Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
-”They oughtta change Black History Month to Black Progress Month and start measuring it.”
-”Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.” – in response to a black caller.
-”They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?” – regarding black people.....Satisfied Tyrone? For some reason I think that you won't be...
Count;"Let me ask you this. You say you think he "attempts to hide" his racism. So how do you explain him saying the things you quoted?"Because he hides it from people like you who admit;"Although I have never heard any of these I'm guessing they were gathered by Media Matters".
Thus, if you would read more of media matters, (which by the way, is where I "DID NOT" gather the quotes) you would know what he says!
And yes, I have listened to Limbaugh's program. I was listening in February 2006 when Limbaugh attempted to invented a racial rift in the Ohio Democratic Senate primary race. Limbaugh told his audience;
"And don't forget Sherrod Brown is black. There's a racial component here, too, the newspaper that I'm reading all this from is The New York Times, and they, of course, don't mention that.".
Senator Sherrod Brown is WHITE!
Count;"The slow witted have a hard time following the quickness of his mind".
Your absolutely correct. That's another reason why he gets away with racist remarks!!
Count;"don't you get over the ruffled feathers reactions and just deal with the issues.".
I haven't, and I wont. The issues is what the Blog is about.
"...he hides it from people like you who admit;"Although I have never heard any of these I'm guessing they were gathered by Media Matters".What? You are cracking me up, man. You actually think that makes any kind of sense?
First, I didn't say he didn't say any of these things. I said that I didn't hear them, and I have listened a lot. But by your crazy logic you saying that Rush is actually thinking, as he speaks to millions, "nobody will hear me say this and that's now I will hide my evil racist self". Come on man, you got to see how insane that is!
And then you go back to 2006, and find a short quote where he seems to be confusing this Brown with somebody else and mentions a "racial component" and drop it like it's some kind of evidence of racism without us having any idea of the context of the comment.
Something you should learn that maybe you missed. The racists who are about hiding it are on the left and they rarely mess up because they be double thinking everything they say. Like I said before, when you know your own heart and just speak your mind the clever and wicked can mess with it sometime but better to be real and just not sweat it.
Count;"You actually think that makes any kind of sense?.
Count, if it doesn't make sense, how were you able to answer? A more appropriate response would have been; "I don't understand what you're saying", so I can't answer"!
Here'a the deal Count, I believe Limbaugh is a racist scumbag...okay. If you don't, that fine. I've heard him on more that one occassion spout racist rhetoric. If you've never heard it, fine.
However, don't just tell me what you believe, show shom eveidence.
