MM: Limbaugh claims Dems' interest in Darfur is securing black "voting bloc"

[KeepItReal]

"Summary: On his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh claimed that Democrats "want to get us out of Iraq, but they can't wait to get us into Darfur." He continued: "There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in Darfur? It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they're in trouble." A caller responded, "The black population," to which Limbaugh said, "Right."

Limbaugh also stated: "So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela -- who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing."

Limbaugh added: "Clinton sent the U.S. military off to Bosnia. No U.S. national interest at stake. The liberals will use the military as a 'meals on wheels' program. They'll send them out to help with tsunami victims. But you put the military -- you put the military in a position of defending U.S. national interest, and that's when Democrats and the liberals oppose it."

My comment: This guy is a delusional, racist, hypocritical (per his own drug abuse) waste of bandwidth.

on edit:
Said best by J.R. Jackson on the Young Turks: "Black folks can't get them to go into New Orleans..." (Let alone Darfur)

4. Of course, the concept that someone could actually "care" about other people is foreign

to the right-wing mind. Unless forced to be nice by mortal law or fear of divine retaliation, the true conservative mind simply can't grasp alien concepts like "empathy" or "co-existence".

Obviously, there's an ulterior motive for any act of this kind, and the true beauty of the human soul is expressed in the accepting of this stark reality and not whining.
