    Did eggcream just say Media Matters is Hillary's web site?

    Yes, in Hillary's own words she started Media Matters and some other lib organization.
    Addressing the dailykooks:

    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.

    You're welcome. She says "like institutions that I helped start and support like media matters and center for American progress"...

    Like I said over and over Rush is not a racist. Believe what you want to believe. Do you really think with all his years of success with his millions of daily listeners, growing every day, that he could possibly be a racist? It's absurd. If you truly believe that then you are calling his listeners racist as well. You know the race baiters sharpton and jackson would be camped outside his office daily if that were the case.

    Here’s Our Top 10 Racist Rush Limbaugh Quotes

    1. I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

    2. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

    3. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?

    4. Right. 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.

    5. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

    6. The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.

    7. They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?

    8. Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).

    9. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.

    10. Limbaugh attacks on Obama. Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush.




    mr. met says:

    okay, everyone can decide for themselves. personally, i find that second youtube clip to be particularly damning. WHY DON'T YOU JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT, RUSH?
  • (obviously that's only the tip of the iceburg)

    WELCOME TO OBAMA'S AMERICA
  • i actually think that he was on point with his McNabb comment . but sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
  • When I think of Rush Limbaugh, two words come to mind.

    Massive stroke.
  • eggcream, you went away (again)

    According to my understanding of American history, Benjamin Franklin helped start the United States of America as an independent democracy, and he supported that institution. Did he own and control it?

  • eggcream wrote: Just because you keep repeating that Rush is racist doesn't make it so.
    No, what makes it so is his own words on video, in context, that he recorded himself for his own audience. As well as the many other things he has said that mr. met has enumerated for you several times.
  • eggcream wrote: I give up with you.
    a vast majority of criticism of Republicans is simply not couched in "opposition to Obama is racist" rhetoric.

    but it's easier for you to think that, I'm sure.
  • Subject: President Obama and race, and satire

    Race is definitely affecting the sensibiities of individuals bent on destroying President Obama's policies. However, as the President has said, it is more of a political and idealogical problem.

    To the author of another comment on President Obama, I offer the following:

    Dear Mr. Stein:

    As an 81-year-old, lifelong Democrat, I offer the following rebuttal to your woefully shameful and inept, satirical diatribe directed towards President Obama. As an opener, I would offer the following:

    “Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own” ~ Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745 ~ author and (gifted) satirist.

    Regarding your No. 1 paragraph, I can think of nothing more vulgar as former Vice President Cheney’s shocking suggestion to Senator Leahy, while on the floor of the Senate. And, for the sake of brevity, I will not cite the profanity and criminality of the Nixon years, as recorded for posterity in the tapes we can all hear on NPR.

    In regard to the rantings following paragraph No. 2, the biggest “tale tellers” in recent history were the ones who took us to war in Iraq, because of “weapons of mass destruction”. And, these same people declared publicly on many occasions that they “did not torture”!

    As far as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are concerned, these are all programs that the poor, the needy, and senior citizens have found to be unfailingly sustaining. They loom tall in effectively countering the usual Republican ideology of “sink or swim”, and I’m mighty proud that Democrats were responsible for these lifelines.

    And now we come to health care. I would quote another Jonathan Swift gem:

    “The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes.”

    Count me as one who would prefer to give them the shoes.

    In closing, I would again return to my good friend, Jonathan Swift:

    “When a true genius appears in this world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”

    I would also suggest that you postpone further predictions for the future of the GOP until President Obama finishes a full four year term.

    Sorry, I do have a life but this thread is dead don't ya think?

    "Beating a dead horse is an idiom which means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile. In British English, the phrase is usually rendered as flogging a dead horse."

    and to quote you:

    "okay, everyone can decide for themselves"
