Pigboy Limbaugh's blatant racism floors me

What They'll Say After the Debate

September 29, 2004


Anyway, let's get started. We got some great audio sound bites. We got a lot of good news here today, folks, it's going to be a fun three hours. The Kerry campaign has finally gotten a chocolate chip. The Kerry campaign has announced that civil rights activist, the Reverend Jackson, has joined the campaign on Wednesday. That's today, the day before the debate, Jesse Jackson has joined the Kerry campaign. Well, no, Charles Barkley is the Milk Dud. Reverend Jackson is a chocolate chip. It's all timed to the debate, don't you understand, it's all timed to the debates in Florida. It's all about how we're going to suppress all these millions of black Floridians who are not going to be able to vote, that's what the hurricanes were all about. Anyway, this announcement was made as a poll showed support for Kerry slipping among black Americans, this is a critical Democrat constituency. The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press said Tuesday its latest poll showed 73% of blacks support Kerry compared to 12% supporting George W. Bush. In 2000, Algore won 90% of the black vote.

3. Interesting that they always choose to look at the racial divides...

And not economic, regional, etc.

4. Pigboy always says "Reverend Jackson" in a funny voice
that he claims is the voice of William Buckley.

Notice how Pigboy conflates "all these millions of black voters" into Florida. By placing all black votes not counted into Florida, then the right-wingers can ridicule the claim. After all, everyone who doesn't know W "won" Florida is a Looserman who should "get over it."

Channeling Pigboy: It's the liberals who are the racists by bringing race into the Florida election because they have no proof of past discrimination and now they are playing the race card again.

The liberals call conservatives racists because they hate us and have no ideas of their own that they can sell to the country, so they scream "discrimination." <channeling over>

5. He's going to regret that comment
when the federal penal sytem forces him to trade boinkmates, specifically Daryn Kagen for a large African-American man.

6. Isn't he in jail YET?
I am reading a book called "The Nazi Conscience" by Claudia Koonz, and it's amazing how much this country is starting to resemble Nazi Germany. The was a method to their madness. First create the concept of other, demonize and dehumanize them, and then create the perception that they are a mortal threat to your country and way of life.

How sick is it, that as a culture, we allow this kind of hate mongering to be spewed on the airwaves. I call "Clear and Present Danger."

7. minus 5 points for replying to myself
Michael Moore put it nicely in SWM -

"White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I’ve never heard a black person say, 'We’re going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here — have a nice day!'”

9. I'm glad when they say stuff like that
it shows who they really are, and what being a "conservative" is all about.

I think in this election they are actually the worst they've been in a long time on the issue of race, because they are trying to gin up their base: Chimp not going to NAACP, Cheney saying he didn't know about the AIDS crisis afflicting black women, Chimp bringing up Dred Scott..

Rove is wooing the fundie klan faction of the GOP base because he thinks they stayed home in 2000.

13. "W" stands for White Women
"Cheney saying he didn't know about the AIDS crisis afflicting black women" (in the debate)

And they say "W" stands for women. The fact is, W stands for White Women, pregnant and barefoot White Women to be more specific.

11. Face it. Racism is why Bush and the Republicans have so many supporters.
Remove that factor and there is no reason for poor whites to support these thugs.

16. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. That's why Republicans are such a hit
here in the South.

17. Without racism, the Republican party would be powerless
Edited on Mon Oct-11-04 07:01 PM by Democat
And anti-Jewish sentiment was also a motivation for many Republicans before the "war on terror" when Republicans decided they would try to "use" Israel for their own benefit.

12. Druggie Limbaugh - popping pills again
Did he say this under the influence or was he sober? Not that his judgement is much better either way. I wonder if he will be able to vote in FL with a felon record, or if the Republicans will purge him thinking he is probably black or hispanic.
