Limbaugh claims Dems' interest in Darfur is securing black "voting bloc"
August 23, 2007 4:33 pm ET
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."

How do you feel about spreading his sorry word of Rush Limbaugh. I said it before...and I'll say it again...the only people that care about what Limbaugh has to say are his liberal pets.

. . . and those who follow him religiously. I don't have a problem with people like Rush. They can say what they want for shock value and are completely entitled to their opinions. In the grand scheme of things, strict partisan bell-pushers like him have very little clout and impact on what people believe. The only said thing is that there are people in the world that buy into his BS and drink it like it is gospel.

I'll just say this one thing and then be done:
If Limbaugh was African American or a person of color, this would not be an issue with the liberal lackys.
Just saying... and no, I don't like Limbaugh, he's an idiot.

This is hilarious. Media Morons (a George Soros-funded, Hillary Clinton-backed smear machine) never knows when Limbaugh is tweaking them and when he's serious. Media Morons was the one who got all in a dither about Limbaugh's use of the term "phony soldiers" (and there were indeed phony soldiers campaigning at Democrat rallies) which prompted Racist Harry Reid to denounce Limbaugh from the floor of the Senate for besmirching the military. But since Harry "This war is lost" Reid is clearly no friend of the military himself, the proclamation was only a ploy to firm up his support with the idiot wing of his own party.
Reid mailed the proclamation to Roger Ailes who gave it to Limbaugh who put it up for auction on E-Bay and raised over $200,000 for his favorite charity - one that benefits Marines injured in the line of duty and benefits the families of Marines that were killed in action.
So that's Rush Limbaugh - exposing the idiocy and hypocrisy of the Left and that's why Media Morons can't resist having their buttons pushed even when Limbaugh is just poking fun at them.

Boy, liberals are so worried that people watch and listen to Rush, yet it's always them who start threads about Rush, Palin, and any other republican they don't like and what they said and did. You will find very few threads started by nonliberals involving these people. I find that interesting.

Go to the site. Read the first story there, this is from the same show today.
Rush: I could sit here and be really cynical. I'll hold off on the cynicism for a couple hours, I'll hold off on it. I'm going to hold off on it, give the show's flow a chance to establish, 'cause it's going to be the Media Tweak of the Day. I'll wait 'til about 2:15 when they're occupied with something else Obama is doing and then I'll make my cynical comment.
So there you go. Looks like the "Media Tweak" worked.

Republicans may have freed the slaves however the GOP is just as guility for ignoring the crimes of Civil era Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws, Lynchings, lack rights to vote, and segaragations, etc.
LBJ commented after signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that the passing of this legislation would cause the Democratic Party to loose the white racist Southern vote for generations to come.
Also consider this historical fact. In 1964 when LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, the white Democrat Congressional members in the South were so pissed they went over to join the Republican Party. So the GOP excepted all the racist Democrats from the South into their party and this racism has become a part of the GOP platform.

So how does the picture of a WHITE GOP member standing on the back of a black man reflect any of what you cited above?
Blacks re NOT stepping stones for people of any political party--and especially NOT Republicans.

Like Alan keyes. That jackass just doesn't have the platform to be heard like Limbaugh. Limbaughs' skin color has nothing to do with it. If Keyes had the platform he'd get critisized more often then he does now.

Democrats passed jim crow and had the voting majority in southern legislatures. Republicans actually had Negro Senators in the 1870's and Congressmen and registered the Negro to vote and allowed it. It was not until 1901 when the democrats regained control that jim crow was enacted.

Yes, these were the same Democrats that left the party pissed off after LBJ signed the Civil Rights act and took their racism into what is now the current Republican Party we see today.
The Sourthern region of the U.S. that is predmeniently Republican today use to be democrats and it was the signing of the Civil Rights legislation which caused the racist Democrats to switch over to the GOP.
Richard Nixon later came up with his southern strategy to drive the final wage btwn southern Democrats to vote republican to ensure he won the Presidency in 1968.

Again you show your ignorance of history. In 1968, George Wallace, Strom Thurmond and others formed the American Independent Party to promote Democrats who believed in segregationist policies. They did not join the GOP (Wallace was never a Republican). The AIP carried some southern states in 1968 but failed to gain much traction outside the South.
Obviously, with the Democrats divided among segregationists and integrationists, Republicans (whose campaign was more about law and order, not what should be done with blacks) certainly benefitted because the opposition split their vote between two options - much the way liberals divided between the Democrats and the Green Party years later.
Admittedly, the Republicans stayed mostly on the sidelines of the Civil Rights debate but a larger percentage of Republicans voted for voting rights and civil rights legislation in the 1960s than did Democrat lawmakes like Thurmond, Al Gore, Sr., William Fullbright, John Stennis, etc.

It was Richard Nixon who, after the landslide defeat of Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in 1964, sought to reorient the Republican Party to the white racist elements in the southern states. Nixon’s “southern strategy” involved an appeal to those former Democrats in the South who were disaffected by the passage of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act by a Democratic Congress, and the enforcement of these laws by the Johnson administration.
The Republican Party took up the long-time political methods of the southern Democrats, using racial demagogy to tie impoverished white workers and small farmers to the ruling aristocracy. In many cases—Thurmond was the forerunner for hundreds—Democratic politicians simply changed party labels while maintaining the same political orientation.
Ronald Reagan’s decision to launch his 1980 general election campaign with an appearance at the Neshoba County Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, the site of the most notorious crime of the civil rights era, the murder of three young civil rights workers in 1964.
When Reagan delivered a speech in which he declared, “I believe in states’ rights,” he was giving his tacit support to the maintenance of the social and economic oppression of the black population, even while the outward forms of legalized racism had been eliminated.
From then on, the Republican Party cemented its domination of the South, and especially of the states of the Deep South, which were the poorest and most backward in terms of social conditions, and where segregation and racial terror were practiced in the harshest form.
By 1994, when the Republican Party won control of the House of Representatives and the Senate for the first time in 40 years, it controlled the bulk of the congressional delegation from the southern states, and its congressional leadership was nearly all from that region: Newt Gingrich of Georgia, Richard Armey and Tom DeLay of Texas, and Trent Lott of Mississippi.

Actually Liberals believe that we as nation are only as strong as the weakiest amongst us vs conservatives generally believe in the rugged individualist and their ideologist principles. As far as a "Fair Shake" goes....its basically in the eyes of the beholder.

Bill Cosby was spot on with taking responsibility for ones actions, behaviors and choices in life. Cosby was exposing his beliefs based on ther generation of the 40's, 50's, and 60's. America has long since changed and evolved from that way of life and for better or worse. You factor in the fact that Cosby is worth 100's of millions of dollars, he can no longer relate to the plight and lives of people of inner city and what is plaguing them. However, when you get back to the "Societal Fair Shake" medifore, you must realize that within the human mind, fairness is always exposed to a slippery slope outlook.
