Discussing Obama, Limbaugh suggests Dems, media believe "you can't criticize the little black man-child"

On the August 20 broadcast of hisnationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh asserted of attacks by Sen.John McCain against Sen. Barack Obama: "[S]ee, there are Democrats -- thedrive-bys" -- a term Limbaugh uses to denote the national media -- "are just so upset with these so-called'ferocious attacks.' These have been benign. Even the BritneySpears/Paris Hilton ad was funny. It wasbenign." He later added: "It's -- you know, it's just-- it's just we can't hit the girl. I don't care how farfeminism's saying, you can't hit the girl, and you can't --you can't criticize the little black man-child. You just can't doit, 'cause it's just not right, It's not fair. He'ssuch a victim."

We can criticize Obama, but can it be about something substantive and not something unsubstantive?

Posted by megabot

Rush, you want to use the N-word - RIGHT?

Posted by captfoster2 in reply to megabot

Any doubt that Rush is just dying to scream out the N-word in hopes of no one caring or noticing?

Coulter, Savage, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Levin, etc, etc must all be sitting at their desks wondering which one of them will be the first to scream out the word first in the race to the bottom?

Is there not a brave one among them?

Posted by kalentros in reply to captfoster2

Probably McCain at the debates.

Posted by captfoster2 in reply to kalentros

If Grampy is the first to blurt the word....... any chance that it would finally put the nail in his political career coffin?

Or would the rightwing corporate owned media simply chalk it up as just another 'senior' moment?

Posted by RABBITLUVR in reply to captfoster2

Macaca doomed George Allen so the N-word would effectively end John McCain's presidential aspirations in a heartbeat. No wriggling out of that one.

Posted by bolo.boffin2180 in reply to megabot

It's not the N-word Limbaugh is hinting at here. It's the S-Word. The LBS-Word, to be precise.

Little Black Sambo.

And it's STILL only August.

Posted by wookie in reply to bolo.boffin2180

Yep, its the usual pattern of "we're not allowed to say (insert Archie Bunkerism here)

Posted by Pyrrhonist in reply to bolo.boffin2180

Bolo, I think you are dead on.  That was my thought when I heard this but then I really hate Limbaugh, so just to check, I played the audio for a neighbor and he immediately said "Why doesn't he just call him Sambo, because that's where he's going with this.""

Posted by skipp2989 in reply to bolo.boffin2180

I saw it more in terms of calling him "boy" without actually calling him "boy" as in "You can't say nothin' to that boy now that he's gotten all uppity."

Posted by Pyrrhonist in reply to megabot

Give him time, he'll think up a new racial slur just for his dittoheads to use instead of the verboten ones.  It'll be something really juvenile, like "feminazi".

Why bring race into it, Rush?

 

Posted by lindenbully in reply to friedbergboy1422

Simple, he thinks he can get away with it.

He doesn't think it, he knows it.

Exactly right. Limbaugh's use of race in this comment is completely unjustified. Pure unvarnished bigotry.

So to sit and listen to a America hater is NOT racist? Oh ok, it's just poor judgment...

Posted by robotchubby in reply to mgarnett251924

I thought America was a melting pot.  By saying someone who is an "America hater" is a racist, means you ASSUME (there you go again!) that America is only full of white people.

Why do you even post here?

Posted by Pyrrhonist in reply to mgarnett251924

Define America-hater.  Some, or maybe most, Americans are Democrats. Your idols trash Democratic Americans daily in vile and revolting ways.  Are they not by definition Some-of-America-Haters?

Some / most / all Americans are Dems ?

ROFL

Wow, can't control your party then, cause Rebups keep winning.

Posted by RABBITLUVR in reply to mgarnett251924

Posted by Pyrrhonist in reply to mgarnett251924

Who keeps winning?  Tell that to Rick Santorum and George Allen.  And mention it to the formerly cocky GOP leaders in Illinois, Louisiana and Mississippi - yes, Mississippi - who just lost once-safe seats in the House. You should tell the nice people in the white coats to switch your teevee off of Fox next time they bring the meds around. 

Posted by friedbergboy1422 in reply to mgarnett251924

Listening to someone makes you something?  Are you sure you want to go down that road, MG?  You listen to Rush, correct?  Despite your denials, does that make you a racist or just show poor judgment?

Posted by unhipcat in reply to mgarnett251924

Are you saying that everyone who listens to rush is a racist?

Posted by pparrish4537 in reply to mgarnett251924

Is it okay for McCain to solicite the endorsements of racist preachers Parsley and Hagee while at the same time Obama severed ties w/Wright? Do you have a clue? What is wrong with you right-wing people?

Posted by RABBITLUVR in reply to mgarnett251924

If you're gonna come on here and make statements such as that then either be prepared to back them up with solid evidence - no, that doesn't include Rush transcripts - or retract your statements.

Because he's a worthless, lying, racist, drug addict.

Yep, and IMO Barack Obama needs a hit man to say just that. Obama had better get p*ssed off and start firing back (through surrogates) at these people...

Like Wright ?

Or Ares?

Or Farakhan?

Your side has haters too friend...

Posted by commonsenseliberal in reply to mgarnett251924

First of all, ignoramus, Farrakhan, Wright and Ayers are not members of the mainstream left.  They are lunatics that most mainstream liberal Americans despise.  On the other hand, Rush, Coulter, et al. are members of the mainstream right in this country.  What does that say about your side?  At least the Democratic party doesn't make it common practice to carrouse (sp?) with such satanic inbreds - as the Republican party does with it's racists.

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to commonsenseliberal

Diagree...

Lib side has Senators calling our brave soldiers "baby killers'...

Mike Moore...

Radical gays

Radical enviromentalists,

Yeah your side does NOT have wack jobs...

LMAO

Posted by commonsenseliberal in reply to mgarnett251924

Nice.  You didn't rebut my post nor respond to any of my points.  Instead, you listed lunatics as representatives of the left-wing. 

Which Senator called soldiers 'baby killers'?

And speaking of radical gays (of which I am one), we're nowhere near as lunatic as you want and portray us to be.  At least radical gays don't shoot people, blow up clinics and Federal buildings to prove a point...unlike the those on your side who relish in terrorism, authoritarianism and hypocrisy - all under the mantle of the flag and G-d. 

Posted by friedbergboy1422 in reply to mgarnett251924

Define mainstream then, MG.  Perhaps we think a radio host who has the audience of Rush is more mainstream than a preacher, college professor, and "leader" who gets little media coverage.

Posted by nrenaud7161 in reply to mgarnett251924

Please back up your statements with evidence. I have never heard our military personell called "baby killers" by any main stream leftist.

Perhaps you are stuck in the 60's?

You have real problems with truth, just like the man you are defending.

Posted by leftinmississippi in reply to mgarnett251924

MGARNETT - Senator Kerry did not call the soldiers baby killers. He said some things that were pretty shocking, relating stories he had been told by soldiers, but that baby killers line was invented later by the Swiftboaters. 

Posted by topaahl7909 in reply to commonsenseliberal

Your comment…..“First of all, ignoramus, Farrakhan, Wright and Ayers are not members of the mainstream left. They are lunatics that most mainstream liberal Americans despise.”

My comment …….Does the fact that Senator Barack Obama has said many times he admires Farrakhan, Rev. Wright and Ayers and has called them his friends classify Mr. Obama as a lunatic also?

Your comment……”At least the Democratic party doesn't make it common practice to carrouse (sp?) with such satanic inbreds - as the Republican party does with it's racists.”

My comment………The most hateful remarks and racist statements I have ever heard toward right wing thinkers are on left wing cable shows such as Bill Maher and the always fair minded Keith Olbermann show. I won’t bother to list the myriad of blog sites that spew hate and anger with their comments.

My question is…… Why are Democrats so angry, hateful and mean toward anyone who would disagree with their comments or choices?.

Posted by Pyrrhonist in reply to IRONY 101

Biden will do just that if they just put him in the ring.  I would love to see a Limbaugh-Biden smackdown. If Limbaugh isn't already back on the junk (and I think he is) that should do it.

  

Posted by unhipcat in reply to Pyrrhonist

rush will not debate Biden. rush will not debate Franken (despite a $1 million bet on Franken's part). rush will not debate anyone. he will not appear at any forum where he must debate the facts of an argument. rush will only appear where he is the subject of an interview by a timid news talker or someone who shares his views. making up lies on the radio and talking to people calling from their moms' basements does not count.

Posted by leftinmississippi in reply to unhipcat

There would be no debate - Rush is too much of a coward - but you can bet if Biden is on the ticket Rush will be making up all manner of nasty things about him in the safety of his studio, surrounded by his call screeners.

Guilt by association, once again. MGarnett and his fellow righties are reaching again as usual.

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to RABBITLUVR

No, but if your willing to bring your entire family into a house of worship to hear the man you call a mentor PREACH HATE, one does have wonder about judgments, friendships, mentors and associations.

I will conceed that it does not make you a racist if you have racist friends, but why would you be there if your not, or don't agree with Black Theology?

Posted by historygeek001 in reply to mgarnett251924

Have you actually heard any of Wright's sermons -- entire sermons, not just the clips on the Internet?  Have you spent any time at the church?  Where do you get your information that Wright is an "America hater?"  Sources matter. 

Do you listen to Pat Buchanan?  How about Corsi?  They have been openly racist for years.  By your own logic, if Obama is racist, so are you. 

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to historygeek001

How do you assume it's not true when the man REPEATS the very hate filled things in public in front of cameras.

So basically you're saying that Senator Obama is a racist because he went to a church where YOU say the pastor is a racist.

OK, so that means that practicing Catholics are child-rapists - even if they haven't engaged in such dispicable behavior (because of the actions of a few pedophile priests)?  Your logic sucks.  Again.

Posted by lindenbully

Will the Obama campaign, or the DNC or some 527 group use this as a bludgeon against the Republicans? If McCain can link Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, can't Obama link McCain to the biggest conservative voice on talk radio?

Posted by DAWUSS in reply to lindenbully

Good point - McCain's associations with Limbaugh and Hannity are just as strong as Obama's associations with Wright and Ayers.

 

IIRC Michael Pfleger echoed what Limbaugh once stated about Hillary Rodham and only one of them was blasted to pieces for it...

Posted by lindenbully in reply to DAWUSS

Right on cue, Da Knee-jerk. You don't even compare apples and oranges. It's more like hallucination and fantasy.

Posted by DAWUSS in reply to lindenbully

OK - if the conservatives can make some big connection between Obama and Wright and Ayers, why can't the liberals make some big connection between McCain and Limbaugh and Hannity?

Posted by lindenbully in reply to DAWUSS

There's absolutely no reason they can't. But I'm not going to be baited into agreeing that Ayres and Wright are the equivalent of Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, et al. These so-called pundits and commentators have done far more damage to the country than Wright and Ayres.

Posted by DAWUSS in reply to lindenbully

OK - I see where you're coming from with that now. Neither one (Wright or Ayers) has impacted legislation in any way, unlike Limbaugh and Hannity.

Posted by deeznuts in reply to DAWUSS

Neither Wright nor Ayers has a daily venue where they are paid to spew their drivel.

Posted by Science101 in reply to deeznuts

So Wright doesnt make money spewing his drivel in the church?  His multimillion dollar home and Mercedes would disagree.  Ayers works in education I think, and he is getting paid to spew his as well.

Hey dipsh... Pseudo... answer this one. Are Rev. Wright's sermons broadcast on hundreds of radio stations coast-to-coast AND streamed online?

Posted by Science101 in reply to RABBITLUVR

Oh so now its about the size of the venue...not that their making money spewing it.  I see, nice change of subject matter.

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to lindenbully

OMG, I can't believe you really think that... WOW, blows my mind that any American can say what you just did... Ayers tried to blow up and kill people, he declared WAR on America, Wright spewed hatered against whites and America for 20 years.

Ok, I get it, you hate Rush, and to a degree I can see your point, he can be a blow hole, but to even remotly try to connect an American bomber and American hater to a republican hack is a far streach.

Posted by RABBITLUVR in reply to mgarnett251924

And what exactly does any of that bs have to do with Obama and his candidacy?

Posted by unitarianpatriot in reply to mgarnett251924

You are right. There is no comparison. The racist and misogynisitic bile Mr. Limbaugh puts out -- and the hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed and the trillions of dollars wasted by the war and other policies for which he is a powerful advocate and apologist -- is so many times worse than anything the Rev. Wright and Mr. Ayres have done or said in their lives. On the other hand, other than donating a teensy percentage of his obscene wealth to help veterans, Mr. Limbaugh has done nothing of note to help humanity. In contrast, the Rev. Wright preaches against racism and imperialism. (Sorry, but it is not racist to point out the damage done by the white power structure of America. It is reporting.) His church cares for the downtrodden and helps them rebuild their lives. I know little of Mr. Ayres' life today, and I certainly condemn his violent acts in the Vietnam era. But he committed them in opposition to an immoral war. Mr. Limbaugh commits all of his acts in opposition to the basic humanity of most people on this planet.

Posted by annes10 in reply to lindenbully

Are you suggesting Obama go negative?

I doubt the wisdom of that. Also, McCain can't really be linked to Limbaugh ... who is lukewarm at best in his support of "da mav". Hannity might have better linkability, since Sean made an iddy-biddy freudian slip on H&C a few weeks ago, acknowledging himselft to be a McCain surrogate. McCain, on the other hand, hasn't acknowledged Handy-Sean's surrogacy, but instead has made a big effort to remain detached from the rightie-hate-radio pundints ... fact, not opinion. Obama's campaign can't afford to stab blindly at McCain making false accusations about McCain/pundint collaborations.

Posted by peebs755

Is anyone surprised? He's been doing it for years. He's the very definition of "projection". Everything he accuses the Left of doing, he actually does. I remember him going on about how the Liberals didn't want Alberto Gonzalez because he was Hispanic. "Its the Liberals, ladies and Gentlemen who are the real racists. They're against Gonzalez because he's Mexican". I heard him make that completely unfounded statement quite a few times. Yeah right. The Left didn't want him because he was/is a criminal. Now he's going on about this. Its disgusting.

Posted by DAWUSS in reply to peebs755

One thing that I think has helped me is when I listen to him after not listening to his show for a long period of time. At first he sounds like he's sold the American people for the Republican Party, but then the longer you listen to him, the more you start to think you were wrong about your initial thoughts about the man.

Posted by zamfir273114 in reply to hurricaneyankee52983

It doesn't take a gifted expert to realize that Rush Limbaugh is a racist. If he isn't, then all of his propaganda, country-splitting writers are. Unfortunately, he is the most dangerous kind. Atleast a KKK member or a Skinhead will come right out and call you a N1G$3r. Rush has millions and millions of listeners and tries to legitimize the outright bigotry. It's really sad, actually. It makes getting along with other ethnicities that much harder for a white guy.
I agree with LINDENBULLY.the DEMOCRATS need to start hitting back , fight fire with fire. The REPUBLICAN  lowball   smear tactics worked in 00 and 04 . T he only way  to effectivley counter their attacks is to hit  THEM BACK HARD WHERE IT HURTS. They need to use REPUBLICAN tactics back on the REPUBLICANS.
Normally I would disagree with you.  However, in the past, Democrats have taken the high road, tried to stay away from the most negative campaigning (not saying negativity's not used, but it's not used to the degree that the Republicans have used negativity).  This might be the time to begin with the negativity (well, maybe after the Dem. convention).  it's time to play hardball with these pricks on the right.  Being nice and taking the high road is all well and good, but it's not working.  I say, blast those righties!

Posted by zamfir273114

It's scary to think that Rush Limbaugh only speaks what his listeners want to hear. Remember, Rush is a greedy fat pig that would switch from right to left if he knew for certain it would be more profitable. I truly believe he doesn't even write any of his own rhetoric. I'm not a left-winger but I definitely don't like people like Rush, Hannity, Savage et. Al. I PARTICULARLY AM DISGUSTED by Ann Coulter; the woman gives the transgender community a bad name.

Posted by DAWUSS in reply to zamfir273114

As I looked over the last 5 pages or so of what MM(for very little) has deemed worthy of their esteemed response, you find a dearth of complaints about ABC, NBC, CBS or CNN's specific attacks on Obama.  Alot of focus is present on anything that makes McCain looked positive at all.  I guess the mainstream media is keeping its hands off of the messiah.

Rampant drug use and lawlessness MG? That's pretty funny, considering Rush Limbaugh's percocet popping past. Remember, he made his housekeeper buy him narcotics on the street? I believe that buying and using unprescribed narcotic painkillers is against the law, even for a facist.

 Also, we are the America lovers! We love freedom, including freedom of speech, even when we do not agree.

I am appalled that anyone would even try to defend Rush's words about Barack. The words he used are so obviously racist, there is no way to defend them at all. 

You have not come up with one shred of actual evidence to back up your claims of racism or hate speak on the part of liberals or Barack Obama. You just do a lot of vitriolic spewing.

"I guess the mainstream media is keeping its hands off of the messiah."

This "messiah" crap was started by cons like you.

The political side that considers itself to be the most holy, the most faithful, and the most devout is so sacred of Obama that they've found it necessary to hijack and propagandize a term that I thought mistakenly thought was sacred and exclusive to their Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

The conservative right has taken "messiah" and turned it into a cheap school yard taunt.  I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

BHO took the flag of the USA off his plane, replaced it with his "new one world order" OHB symbol, talks about being "a citizen of the world" and I wonder just who is the radical... BHO or Rush.

At least Rush talks about pride in America, while the Obama's do not...

 That fits well here on MMA

Posted by pete592 in reply to mgarnett251924

Yeah, that means he hates America, right?

And where's the flag on McCain's jet?  Oh yeah, his plane's got a small one, JUST LIKE OBAMA'S PLANE DOES.

Posted by jasondab9842 in reply to mgarnett251924

Lets's get some facts straight.

FACT - Obama's plane was owned by North American Airlines.  Their trademarked logo, a stylized American flag, can be found on the tail of all their planes.  What was removed was a trademarked image.

FACT - Obama's campaign plane was repainted, just as other candidates have repainted their campaign planes to make them function as a marketing tool.

FACT - Obama's plane has an American flag on it, right next to the registration numbers on the fuselage.  Which is the traditional place to put the flag on an American plane.

Again, people don't have any real issues to bring up, so they nitpick minutiae.  If you really want to bother with this, explain why McCain is riding in a FRENCH made plane that is white, blue, and yellow -hardly patriotic colors, don'tcha think?  If it's silly to bring this up regarding McCain, then it's silly to obesess over this with Obama.

For me, patriotism isn't about clothing or logos or pins or buttons or stuff like that.  That's all surface, and is easy for anyone to do.  I care more about someone being a patriot than them showing off their patriotism like it's some cheap accessory.  I care about issues, not presentation, then again I'm a liberal.

I take it then that Ronald Reagan 'hated' America too because he proclaimed himself to be a 'citizen of the world'.

No matter what you post, MGarnett, you're gonna get called out on it. My advice to you is to quit while you still have some semblance of dignity.

Nancy P. your queen said that "GOD" gave BHO to America... rofl! And yet it's us repubs that have the Messiah complex...

Posted by pete592 in reply to mgarnett251924

God gave us a lot of things, if Obama's not one of them, does that mean he's an abomination?

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to pete592

Pet, your own party talks about his as "chosen" and "from God"...

Posted by pete592 in reply to mgarnett251924

Nice dodge.

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to pete592

Dodge or fact?

I did not lie, she said it, your party is calling him the Messiah...

Posted by commonsenseliberal in reply to mgarnett251924

ONE person from the Dem party has referred to Obama as the messiah - and not even in the way you douches on the right mean it.  Then, you righties took the moniker, ran with it, and use it, as Pete said above, as a school yard taunt.  Nice.  You're dispicable.

And to respond briefly to your post about liberals being commies, want a communist nation, etc.  That's all bs - and you freakin' know it.  Communism wouldn't advance our causes and the things we care about.  In fact, Communism would kill our side just as much as Fascism is killing your side right now.

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to commonsenseliberal

What do you want then?

Are you for the GOV controling / providing all healthcare?

Are you for re-distribution of wealth?

Are you for the GOV "socilizing" oil companies?

Are you for tax increases?

Are you for cradle to grave "social" programs?

We can go one by one and debate them..

Posted by RABBITLUVR in reply to mgarnett251924

You are STILL dodging.

Posted by pete592 in reply to mgarnett251924

Pelosi said that Obama was a blessing, not the messiah. 

Pelosi probably has too much respect for Jesus to describe Obama in the blasphemous way that conservatives have.

I see the subliminal messages from the "chosen one" ad are working after all.  You can say it - he's the Antichrist. I got that email too, I just didn't believe it.

PC, that is because you are at a comment section on a Limbaugh article. This isn't rocket science, it's just a thread that hasn't gotten too far off track (yet). 

Posted by snoopy

What do you expect from the mouthpiece of the republican party? He'll do everything to  innoculate songbird from criticism about his service, including the lies songbird tells to embellish his lackluster record, but let's be clear. Republicans offered a bunch of white guys who between them had more wives than a saudi sheik, now they are holding a convention whose diversity consists of a bunch of white guys who had more wives than a saudi sheik, and they are just livid that a bunch of democrats who had the balls to run both a woman and a black man actually had the balls to do so. Republican base is racist to the core.

Posted by DAWUSS in reply to snoopy

And don't forget - before the nomination, Limbaugh was a huge critic of John McCain, saying that he only straight talk that came from John McCain was his name and that he went wherever the wind blew. Now that McCain is the GOP nominee, it's a whole new light...

Posted by proudconservative in reply to DAWUSS

He's also said, it's about keeping a radical socialist from making it to the whitehouse.  McCain is the one now to stop the democrats from getting there, but he still wants McCain to more of a conservative whilst accomplishing that.

Posted by snoopy in reply to proudconservative

Close, but no cigar. Limbaugh actually said McCain's job is to keep a n****r from occupying the "white" house.

Posted by proudconservative in reply to snoopy

snoopdawg,

Nice try but your schizzle a bit wanting.

Posted by snoopy in reply to proudconservative

Sorry PC, but McCain's base is dying to say the n word. When it comes to issues, today's "republican" has nothing to offer but insults.

Posted by my4cents1172 in reply to snoopy

If McCain can literally,legally say 'dont vote for the N**R' and get elected, he would be shouting it from the roof top tomorrow. And there will still be people voting for him. Enough to get him elected? We will know how race conscious  Americans are (similar to taliban in a way), in November.

He has no principles, he is no maverick, and he is no different from Bush.

redbaronfoe,

Thank you for your pointed instruction and encouragement against the use of insults.  The manner of your conduct here over the years, fully demonstrates how to keep the dialogue above the demeaning use of insults and allow those who visit here, to see the benefit and gain from your fine examples of 'insultless' discourse posted here that show that insults should not be used as a part of one's efforts to win the debate, no matter how tempting it might be for someone, not you of course, to fill their postings with insult after insult with those with whom they disagree because of course, placing of insults in comments demeans the process of exchanging ideas and would indicate one's inability to demonstrate superiority of rationale or clearly have lost the argument.  To see it otherwise would be....insulting.

Thank you for continuing to lead the way in refraining from any insulting insinuations or comments that are intended to insult and therby show weakness in the core of your belief system.

Posted by snoopy in reply to proudconservative

What's the matter, PC? You've spent the same amount of time here doing just that. Sorry to hear you can dish it out but can't take it. Get used to it, y'all lowered the bar on civil discourse. I'm just playing by your rules. So stop crying like Depends John, you suddenly found civility PC.

Talk abaout a lie...

RACE is NOT the reason we want to defeat BHO...

I think he is a radical, far left socialist...

If Condie Rice was running I'd vote for her, and last I looked she is a WOMAN and African American.

So piss off...

It's policies, judgemnts, taxes, oil, socilized medicine that I hate...

Posted by snoopy in reply to mgarnett251924

You people think Jesus is a radical socialist. Ironic that y'all want to claim him as your saviour consdering your hate for his political views.

Posted by proudconservative in reply to snoopy

Snoopy,

Jesus Christ was no political figure, though he affected the politics of the day, but He was all about saving souls.  When our Lord died for the ungodly, he bore the sins of all who would believe in Him as their Savior, from the ills of sin in this world and the next.

Many wanted Him to become a political or military leader to expel the Romans and re-establish a physical government at that time.  But His kingdom is spiritual and anyone who calls upon Him, will be saved!

His work is way beyond politics because correct politics never saved anyone from damnation.  Having the proper political beliefs are not the way to obtain eternal salvation.

Strawman...

Posted by hogprint in reply to hogprint

Not for you PC, the snoopdog.

Posted by snoopy in reply to hogprint

Well, I like to use strawman arguments against people who are making strawman arguments. Seems only fitting.

Like your two comics though. It's good to have a sense of humor.

LOL You might want to re-phrase that statement, Condi's pro-choice!

OMG, LOL I forgot to add, Condi's also pro-affirmative action!

Posted by mgarnett251924 in reply to pearlene_scott1602

I'd still vote for her, I never said I want to overturn RvWade, it's the law... I'd say it stands... Nothing wrong with Affirm Action either, hand up, not hand out, I have said from start.

She is smart and loves this country... nuf said.

Then you better find another party because the Republican party platform is for overturning both roe v wade and affirmative action.

Condi Rice is a sell out token who is sitting pretty to make millions on the W legacy.

So, do you agree that Obama is a "radical socialist"? If so, would you please provide a web definition from a non-partisan source for the term "radical socialist" for me, and make a case for how Obama fits the definition?

Otherwise, careful readers here might assume you are a right-wing hack spewing red-scare propaganda.

FYI radical socialists, marxists, and communists all have their own parties. The democratic party supports capitalism, and is neither communist, marxist, or stalinist, no matter how many times a day you hear right-wing radio pundints claim it. Dems like Obama do support higher tax rates for the very wealthy than the working class, and tighter regulation to keep greedy corporations in line, I'll grant, but that's not socialism.

Ann is 10,

Here is what makes for a marxist:

Seeking the endorsement of the CDSA in his first election.    ttp://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng45.html#anchor1078925

What's the CDSA you ask?????? 

http://www.chicagodsa.org/index.html

And ne'er we forget William Ayers, the unrepentent leftist terrorist of Weatherman infamy....

"Mr. Obama also fit in at Hyde Park’s fringes, among university faculty members like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, unrepentant members of the radical Weather Underground that bombed the United States Capitol and the Pentagon to protest the Vietnam War. Mr. Obama was introduced to the couple in 1995 at a meet-and-greet they held for him at their home, aides said."

That from this article..

PC, at least you tried to respond rationally, so props for that.

You've adequately proven that CDSA is a communist group.
