This is Rush Limbaugh inciting racial hatred

boygabriel

What did this bullying high school violence have to do with race?

Nothing.

Yet Rush sez:

"It's Obama's America, is it not? Obama's America, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. You put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety, but in Obama's America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, 'Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,' and, of course, everybody says the white kid deserved it, he was born a racist, he's white."

Rebuttal, from Andrew Sullivan:

The story was a classic schoolbus bully incident; it could happen anywhere any time and has happened everywhere at all times with kids of all races, backgrounds and religions. To infer both that it was racially motivated and that this is somehow connected to having a black president is repulsive. I know that is almost de trop with Limbaugh, but sometimes you have to regain a little shock. This man is spewing incendiary racial hatred. He is conjuring up images of lonely whites being besieged by angry violent blacks ... based on an incident that had nothing to do with race at all. And why, by the way, does someone immediately go to the racial angle when looking at such a tape?

These people are going off the deep end entirely: open panic at a black president is morphing into the conscious fanning of racial polarization, via Gates or ACORN or Van Jones or a schoolbus in St. Louis. What we're seeing is the Jeremiah Wright moment repeated and repeated. The far right is seizing any racial story to fan white fears of black power in order to destroy Obama. And the far right now controls the entire right.

Do they understand how irresponsible this is? How recklessly dangerous to a society's cohesion and calm?

As elementary school kids in Brooklyn, my brother and I were two of just a handful of white kids on our schoolbus, and we got beat up on and had knives pulled on us, and had to fight to defend ourselves just about every day. Those were the early Reagan years. I don't recall any right wing freaks going on about how that was emblematic of the Reagan era or Reagan's America then.

It helps when you have the whole story and not pieces taken out of context as liberals so often do.

The video, which is disturbing and will not be labeled and or prosecuted as a hate crime cause we know only whites commit hate crimes, came out after pathetic Newsweek's recent cover :




"See Baby Discriminate

Kids as young as 6 months judge others based on skin color. What's a parent to do?"

At the Children's Research Lab at the University of Texas, a database is kept on thousands of families in the Austin area who have volunteered to be available for scholarly research. In 2006 Birgitte Vittrup recruited from the database about a hundred families, all of whom were Caucasian with a child 5 to 7 years old.

The goal of Vittrup's study was to learn if typical children's videos with multicultural storylines have any beneficial effect on children's racial attitudes. Her first step was to give the children a Racial Attitude Measure, which asked such questions as:

How many White people are nice?
(Almost all) (A lot) (Some) (Not many) (None)

How many Black people are nice?
(Almost all) (A lot) (Some) (Not many) (None)

During the test, the descriptive adjective "nice" was replaced with more than 20 other adjectives, like "dishonest," "pretty," "curious," and "snobby"


blah blah blah So Rush Limbaugh was pointing out the stupidity of liberals and their constant attack of calling people racists just because we question Barry's destruction of America.

Ya'll seem to have no problem with the Grand Kleagle Liberal Senator Byrd.

Hell just last night Hank Johnson D GA. when asked about the tired Joe Wilson outburst said next we'll be seeing white hoods.

Good grief, the term Hate Crime wasn't invented by liberals yet. It only applies when blacks are beat up by whites. Only whites are racists according to liberals and their darlings of the media.

Most Americans are pissed off being called racists, nazi's, astroturf etc etc.
You have your half black President and you're still not happy.

You're going to have to scream racism a little more often.


Rush Limbaugh's August Ratings Soar; Media Ignore the Feat
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor

CNSNews.com) - Rush Limbaugh, who calls himself the man the mainstream media "love to hate," would have created a stir last week – if the media had actually taken notice.

Arbitron’s “Portable People Meter” (PPM) ratings for August show that Limbaugh experienced record ratings in a number of major American radio markets.

According to broadcasting industry analyst Brian Maloney, Limbaugh had “blockbuster success” in some key cities, including Los Angeles -- home to the number one radio station in the country.

“There’s no question that the raging debate over Obamacare has many more listeners turning to Rush for answers and support – and everything they’ve turned to Rush for, for so many years, but in far greater numbers than ever before,” Maloney, who publishes the blog, “The Radio Equalizer,” told CNSNews.com.

In Los Angeles, where news-talk station KFI-AM dethroned Top 40 powerhouse KIIS-FM as the top station, Limbaugh’s ratings share went from 5.9 to 6.9 – a full point increase – with a weekly cumulative (“cume”) audience of 635,700 listeners.

Yet stories about the Arbitron ratings in The Los Angeles Times and other major newspapers either omitted or downplayed mention of Limbaugh’s success or his role in helping the ratings of affiliates like KFI, according to Maloney.

“Rush is the driving force, he’s the engine behind the gains, and yet they ignored it,” Maloney told CNSNews.com. “He’s first place, from 9 a.m. to noon, out of more than 40 stations in L.A. That’s huge.”

Other cities showed monster numbers -- In St Louis, Limbaugh gained a 0.8 share, up from 9.1 last month, logging 204,400 weekly listeners.

In liberal Seattle, Limbaugh went from 9.3 in July to 10.1 in August on KTTH. In Chicago, the number three media market – and President Obama’s hometown -- Limbaugh took second place overall on WLS, increasing from 5.0 to 5.3, with 319,700 tuning in.

Even in San Francisco, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) hometown, Limbaugh's ratings on KSFO, a leading station, went from 4.9 to 5.6 – makig his show number two in the market.

What did the bullying bus incident have to do with race and even more than that, what on earth does it have to do with Obama?

Should I say it slower?

If a bunch of white kids were beating up a black kid on a bus, there would be charges of hate crimes and Al Sharpton with his trusty bullhorn and the press would be screaming racism. But, because it was reversed, no hate crime charges will be filed.

As for Obama, again, if anyone disagrees with him and or his policies, they are labeled a racist.

Sorry, when and where were improper hate crime charges prosecuted?

This event had nothing to with race b/c there were no epithets, no history of racist comments, no nooses hung on trees or whatever the equivalent is for white people.

In short, it had nothing to do with race, despite Rush's best race-baiting attempts

As for Obama, again, if anyone disagrees with him and or his policies, they are labeled a racist.

"anyone"? haha. Right. Us Brooklynian liberals never disagree with conservatives on factual grounds, all we do is type, "Racist" in all caps, over and over again.

Same with all the leading liberal blogs. They don't do research and form arguments. They just type "RACIST" in big, red caps, over and over again.

It's a long shot, I know, that looking at actual numbers might make a difference to anyone's opinion. But here are the US-DOJ/FBI stats for Hate Crime in 1995:
http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hatecm.htm#bias

So that was around 8000 reported incidents, of which the most frequent (nearly 3000) were motivated by bias against blacks. Anti-white, anti-gay, anti-Jewish, anti-Hispanic were also frequently reported.

If you don't just read the transcript but actually listen to Rush say the words himself, it's even more apparent what a racist he is. Listen to him as he mimics a "black voice."



Racist!

I said it, and I'm perfectly justified.

Geez Louise! If Rush is going to try and channel his inner "disaffected black inner-city youth", he might at least try talking to one. When was the last time a black teenager used the words "right on, right on, right on, right on"? If I'm not mistaken that went out of the common lexicon when Nixon was president.

He probably decided against "dynomite!"

WTF does Wright have to do with this? I showed the video of Rush quite obviously being racist while he was calling others racist. You know, what this thread was about.

Typical Fox News tactic. Try to distract by scaring people with an angry Black man.

"I don't feel no ways tired. I come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy. I don't believe He brought me this far," drawled presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton, mimicking black voice to a black audience, at the First Baptist Church of Selma, Alabama. I'm wondering if Mrs. Clinton visits an Indian reservation she might cozy up to them saying, "How! Me not tired. Me come heap long way. Road mighty rough. Sky Spirit no bring me this far." Or, seeking the Asian vote she might say, "I no wray tired. Come too far I started flum. Road berry clooked. Number one Dragon King take me far."

The occasion of Mrs. Clinton's speech was the 42nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday, on March 7, 1965, when 600 civil rights marchers were attacked by police with billy clubs, cattle prods and tear gas, one of the high points in the black civil rights struggle. Commemorating a key point in American history is one thing, but a white person mimicking black dialect is demeaning and insulting. And, if it buys her votes from those in attendance, not much flattering can be said about them.

Mrs. Clinton later explained her drawl, around black audiences, to a meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists, "I lived all those years in Arkansas, and, you know, I'm in this interracial marriage." The interracial marriage bit has to do with the frequent reference to former President Clinton, by the Congressional Black Caucus and others, as the "first black president."

Mrs. Clinton is not alone in demeaning talk to black people; she's in good company with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who talk of "going from the outhouse to the White House" and "from disgrace to amazing grace" and other such nonsense.

Neither Clinton nor Revs. Sharpton and Jackson address white audiences in that manner. Before a predominantly black audience, during his 2004 presidential bid, Sen. John Kerry said, in reference to so many blacks in prison, "That's unacceptable, but it's not their fault." I doubt whether Kerry would have told a white audience that jailed white people were faultless. Kerry probably holds whites responsible for their criminal behavior.

In 2004, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume said of President George Bush, "We have a president that's prepared to take us back to the days of Jim Crow segregation and dominance." During the 2000 presidential campaign, Rev. Jesse Jackson warned black audiences by telling them that a Bush win would turn the civil rights clock back to the days of Jim Crow. Now that Bush's two-term presidency is near its end, why wouldn't someone ask Jesse and Kweisi about the accuracy of their predictions?

Suppose some demagogue in 2000 told Jewish Americans that a Bush presidency would mean concentration camps, or told Japanese-Americans that his presidency would mean internment? Do you think such pronouncements would have been welcomed and applauded? I'm sure that had someone made such a stupid prediction to Jewish and Japanese-Americans, they would have had ridicule and scorn heaped upon them.

What does it say about blacks who can be taken in by pandering, alarmist nonsense from both whites and blacks as a means to get their votes? As a black man, I don't find the most obvious answer very flattering.


Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

carnivore

Clinton may have been pandering (something all politicians on all sides are guilty of), but she wasn't being racist, as evidenced by the cheers from the audience. I'd love to see Rush spout his crap in front of that audience.

But keep trying to distract...

Ah, didn't see that, thanks (honestly..).

Actually, in her own words there, she says that it's among other organizations that she help start and support.

I don't take that as a claim that she founded it or that she owns it or that it's otherwise her site.

I think that's just a way of saying she's been supportive of their efforts and perhaps has donated to them and/or somehow advocated on their behalf, as I'm sure many other candidates and notable progressive figures did.

Made for a good campaign bullet point if one was speaking to an audience of progressives or moderates.

Thanks for posting that.

But yeah, as Carnivore mentions, Rush's speech there (which Rush chose to air on national/international radio before Carny posted the Media Matters recording of it here) could have been posted on David Duke's site for all anyone cares and it still would not change the fact that it is what it is.

Ad Hominem indeed with regards to Rush Limbaugh.

Just because you keep repeating that Rush is racist doesn't make it so. Maybe you can hook up with Moonbat Maxine Waters and go hunt down those racists. And it's not irrelevant who started the site. Funny you didn't know that considering it's the liberals bible.
