Okay, this guy is a blowhard that does not deserve any kind of comment, but dude WTF???
At McCain/Palin rallies where effigies of Obama are hung, where the crowd shouts things like “terrorist” “Muslim” (so what if he was…) “kill him” “commie” “traitor” etc etc, why are people who incite hate not being called to the mat by their own party. Is this what conservatives have become in the US? Close minded, racist, isolationist bigots? Please tell me there are more decent conservatives than Colin Powell or David From out there. What is wrong with these people. It’s some kind of bizarro alternative universe where it’s not really about conservative issues like self determinism, small governments and a free market. It’s about who can be the most successful at ‘otherizing’ an historic candidate.
Please go see racist remarks that go unchecked by Rush Limbaugh while Obama has to constantly repudiate John Lewis, why does McCain not have to constantly repudiate Limbaugh.
Wanna know what else I hate? Dick Pound, part of the international Olympic committee (a Canadian) recently said in an interview that we were a land of savages only 400 yrs ago. First Nations groups in Canada, not so happy with being referred to as savages. Understandable. The best part though is what comes next, you know the apology… I’m so sorry if what I said offended anyone, that was not my intent and savage is not a derogatory term.
DUDE! This is what I like to call the NON-apology. It’s not “I’m sorry I hurt your feelings”, it’s “I didn’t mean it THAT way, and also? you’re wrong, because I said it was not offensive” That’s a neat trick right? Appear to be saying sorry but still maintain your racist bastardness. Listen old, white guy, you do not get to determine what is and is not offensive to a group of people that have been systematically abused by a racist government and where inequality is STILL the order of the day. I am so sick of the non-apology! Next time you mess (and we know you well Dick), just say “I am sorry” and shut the eff up.
Mara ~ thank you and good night
Bravo!
Limbaugh is just one example of the many crazy, far right-wing conservatives who make me want to move to Canada if McCain-Palin are elected on Tuesday. This election has revealed the frustratingly conservative views of many of my friends and family members (though, thankfully, none of them racist) that make me so angry. Why are people like Limbaugh in the positions they are in in this country? Why do we accept this crap?
It’s time to pull the plug on the fat, ignorant, blowhard of a racist ‘entertainer’. Enough is enough. He spews nothing but mindless opinion and garbage.
