Look at Rush's comments I think Native Americans should be offended

Cowboys and Indians
April 23, 2004
Days ago, my friends, I predicted that Tim Giago --South Dakota Native American activist -- would be scalped. Politically. He had the audacity to run for Democrat Senate minority leader Tom Daschle's seat. Now Daschle is in a tight race, the radio show is in trouble, and since Democrats view Native Americans as they do every minority -- as their private property -- Giago had to go.

Last week, Daschle and Giago had a pow-wow. What happened in the tee-pee is unknown, but when the smoke signals cleared, Giago was Home on the Range. He dropped out of the race. Now he supports Daschle...who agreed to "talk" with Indian leaders about the Black Hills...which the federal government took in violation of a treaty -- an issue unresolved since 1877. As for Giago: since he's back on the reservation, maybe Daschle will forgive him for asserting himself.

In other South Dakota news: Joseph Prentice was arrested by the Rapid City police after complaints that he was overly "aggressive" while registering voters. Democrats were paying Prentice three dollars a head for every voter who joined their party. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail for trespassing and possession of drug paraphernalia. The Democrat vote-enforcer has a past legal history including: providing false information, solicitation of prostitution, DUI, driving uninsured, driving without a valid license, and leaving the scene of an accident. He should have been in Florida. And when he was convicted in California he got second-degree murder. Yes, second-degree murder.

They call Bush a cowboy? These guys could teach the mob a thing or two...if they haven't already.

2. No I think he fought in the civil rights movement with Bob Novak, but I
could be wrong and they were both under sheets at the time.

4. Honoring the flag
Ol' Rush is probably pleased when he sees the Lakota riding in with the Stars and Stripes at the beginnning of a powwow. This is called "Honoring the Flag". What ol' Rush won't know is that the Lakota are honoring ONE Flag-the one Crazy Horse took from Custer at the Little Big Horn!

Don't mess with the Native People.

5. Rush is offensive to everyone except narrowminded white
bigoted males like himself. It's time the rest of us took our country back and sent Rush and his dittoheads to a reservation for fat, white, male Republicans.

10. I've replied already, but I
can not believe this. I had to check to see what year it was. How can someone, even someone who is best described by just saying his name, rush, spew this kind of garbage unscathed? My optomistic answer would be because no one listen to this brain fart, but I know better. I'm outraged! Does El-Douchebo know ANYTHING about American history? Obviously not.

11. Yeah, I'm offended...
But everything that piece of shit says offends me, so it's not really that big a deal.

It sort of reminds me of a thing my ancestors did to an army supply train. It involves genital mutilation and fire. I always thought it was pretty brutal, but when I picture rush as the centerpiece, it makes a lot of sense.
