Limbaugh compared Sharpton's NAN to "David Duke's ... whatever organization"
On the April 18 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh suggested that the attendance of Democratic presidential candidates at Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network convention is "similar" to Republican presidential candidates' attending a hypothetical convention of "The Rev. David Duke's -- whatever, whatever organization."
Limbaugh stated, "[E]verything you need to know for 2008 is encapsulated in this little blurb from ABC News' The Note: 'The Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network begins its annual convention at the Sheraton New York Hotel. Every 2008 Democrat presidential candidate expected to address the convention over the next four days.' " Limbaugh then asked, "Can I give you a similar headline that would cause havoc? 'The Rev. David Duke's -- whatever, whatever organization -- begins its annual convention at the Sheraton New York Hotel, and every 2008 Republican presidential candidate expected to address ... '"
According to his "official website," David Duke is a former national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He left the group in 1978 and founded the National Association for the Advancement of White People. Duke is the president and founder of European American Unity and Rights Organization, formerly known as the National Organization for European American Rights. Duke's website identifies him as "David Duke, Ph.D.," but his online biography lists an "honorary doctorate in political science from President's University of Kiev, Ukraine" as his only postgraduate degree.
From the April 18 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: That would be the golden EIB microphone. Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network. More details of this coming up in a moment, but everything you need to know for 2008 is encapsulated in this little blurb from ABC News' The Note: "The Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network begins its annual convention at the Sheraton New York Hotel. Every 2008 Democrat presidential candidate expected to address the convention over the next four days." Can I give you a similar headline that would cause havoc? "The Rev. David Duke's -- whatever, whatever organization -- begins its annual convention at the Sheraton New York Hotel, and every 2008 Republican presidential candidate expected to address --"
Media Matters: Limbaugh's Off the Wall spin on Michael Jackson's death
Howard Kurtz's wasted opportunity
And that is offensive how? It appears to be a simple truth. No hate there, doggone it. Maybe we are wrong about Rush?
Has Sharpton ever said anything like the following?
If so, you may have an argument. If not, well, enjoy the Kool-Aid.
"White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Rev. Al Sharpton in a 1994 speech at Kean College, NJ
Sharpton's has many incidents that mirror Duke's anti-semitism including referring to Jews as "Diamond Merchants."
Sharpton's racist accusations in the Brawley and Duke cases more than qualify him for David Duke comparisons.
The only difference between the two is Sharpton has acting and comedic talent and Duke doesn't.
I don't think you are going to get much of a defense of Sharpton if that is what you are looking for. IMO he has damaged his own reputation by being too quick to judge and make accusations. The Tawana Brawley situation ruined Sharpton's image for me. Not necessarily because I think he is a racist, but because someone in his position should have much more wisdom than he has demonstrated.
That said, there are much better comparisons to be made. NAN is nothing like the KKK. I used to work with a guy for about 8 months who admitted he was in the KKK. Pretty scary considering my wife and children are black and biracial.
I wouldn't think twice about working next to someone in NAN or Sharpton. I am just pretty skeptical of any claims made by Sharpton to put it mildly.
“We are the Demagogogues”
Do you know who we are? Fear is our sales pitch and hate is our stock in trade. We are here to save you from the heretic, the Jew, the Catholic, the gypsy, the witch, the infidel, the Communist, the Negro, the secular humanist, or the racist. Follow us, give us money, publicity, and votes, and we’ll save you fom the bogeyman. And if the bogeyman doesn’t exist, we’ll invent him.…We’re here to hurl reckless accusations and to slander innocent people. We’re here to talk about “crackers,” “gutter religions,” and “Uncle Toms.” …We’ll threaten the public safety if we have to; “Someone may show up with a grenade.”…Yesterday we are Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizards. Today we are Sharpton, Maddox, Mason, and Farrakhan.
Sorry, it was so good I had to bring it back to page one.
WTF are "Demagogogues?"
How many people have Sharpton, Maddox, Mason, and Farrakhan lynched - by which I mean, how many people have they literally hung from a tree? How many have they run down with horses or pickup trucks?
You don't have to love Sharpton to object to him being compared to a murderer.
Why do so many wingers have such a hard time just taking a stance and arguing the merits, rather than overreaching with a false equivalence?
Yes, because Duke was soooooo concerned for social justice and peace- right on, Windbag! KKK vs. NAN...? NAN hands down...
I guess that sucking up to race baiting vultures isn't as bad as sucking up to actual racists, but pretty darn close.
I think as far as overt acts the KKK might be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead in the racism battle here. What is up with Rush not being able to say KKK? That is weird!
I am not sure if there was a typo or an oversight, but did Rush really say David Duke is a Revrerend?
No, but it seems like they have been drilled to use the false equivalency defence at whatever Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Training Camps these guys all seem to be attending.
There is no situation or personality they cannot equate to a completely different situation or personality... there are times when it seems to me they have no other debating tactic.
Why is it when Conservatives use the same tools so commonly used by the left to make a point that the left cries foul, or resorts to name calling, or tries to rattle off some useless propaganda that they have picked up in their travels through the internet? It reminds me of the spoiled brat in the schoolyard who takes his ball and goes whining home because nobody will play by his rules.
"Why is it when Conservatives use the same tools so commonly used by the left to make a point that the left cries foul..."
You're basically saying that if I steal a candy bar that makes it OK for you to steal a candy bar too. Where's the moral superiority in that, Mr. family values culture of life war on terror tax cuts for the rich union busting government drowning deficit swelling market fundamentalist conservative guy?

Looks like Doughpro was intent on proving your point, Val.
He didn't say it because he is afraid. But funny thing is, he's complaining about the fairness doctrine because he thinks it will be instrumental in censoring him but what is he doing today? He's trying to get NBC to stop showing the Cho videos. In short, trying to censor the news. Hypocrite!
Last I checked he was pointing out how tasteless it is, not trying to stop it. He really doesn't care when the mainstream media shoots themselves in the foot.
True, but sucking up to Rush is still plenty bad.
Kudos, that was good!
As opposed to Tommy, who just sucks.
:-)
Rush's blathering has now offcially become an incessant buzzing in my head.... I am becoming indifferent to his rants, and that is not good-
Well now Limbaugh is being a tad ridiculous here...a better comparison might be watching Republicans flocking to a Pat Robertson Convention.
I think the Democrats are a bit misguided however, kowtowing to a Sharpton, a race baiter & flamethrower.
Fair enough, Jeter, but the comparison is a stretch, like you said, by any measure. Is Duke really a Rev?
Admittedly it is a stretch, and not exactly equivalent. But Limbaugh is making the point through exaggeration, like he always does. Apt or not, it's his MO
...and not exactly equivalent.
Understatement of the weak. Do you mean like brothers, but not exactly twins?
"Limbaugh is making the point through exaggeration..."
Then it must not be a very valid point if he has to exaggerate to that extreme. By Rush's standards one could compare Barak Obama's church to the KKK... by exaggeration, of course. But Rush's real problem is with the so-called "Democrat Party" and what he was attempting to draw attention to is that Al Sharpton is still an influential Democrat. And if Rush's listeners are attentive they have learned from Rush to hate Democrats and Al Sharpton.
So you're saying that since Rush uses a logical fallacy to make all his arguments, he is never to be believed, correct?
Tommy,
Do you think Rush is a race baiting vulture as well? I do and Rush has a huge following. I've watched conservatives get immensly riled up at these two men (Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton). Jackson and Sharpton frequently get death threats. Why is is that race baiting on the right isn't condemened just as passionately? You guys rarely if ever speak of the race baiting and the divisiveness that is perpetrated by the people in the conservative media. These media personalities have huge audiences and have build mult-million dollar businesses off of this stuff as well, yet you never hear race baiter in the same sentences mentioning Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh. Sean Hannity had the leader of the New Black Panther Party on his show the other night. Sean knows very well that this guy is a nutty racist Black separatist screaming out from the edges of society, yet Sean puts him front and center to represent Black opinion on his show.
Lynn,
To be clear, I despise race baiting and injecting racial components in an issue where there is no evidence of it's existence. Of course I am not that naive to think it only comes from the left, however cries of racism usually are directed at conservatives simply because of a difference of opinion.......and that comes from race vultures. I evaluate each instance based on it's own circumstances and I know that Hannity loves to put nut jobs on from his opposition and then act like they are mainstream.......he is beneath contempt for that. O'Reilly does it all the time, it is cheap and sleazy, I absolutely agree.
There are very serious instances of race and racism that we are faced with in this country from time to time. Crying racism when it's not warranted to score political points only demeans and cheapend those real instances, and that's unfortunate for everyone for it just desensitizes us more.
As for Sharpton and Jackson, I am sorry - but I feel as though they have a vested interest in the business of "race baiting"......they will only stay relevant if they can keep shouting that racism is the biggest problem that blacks face in this country. Of course we have racists among us, but there are far more serious issues in the black community to address - fatherless households, black on black crime, etc. They are more of a threat than institutionalized racism is, in my opinion.
Now you can disagree with me, I am fine with that and respect your opinion. But some jump all over me and call me a racist, and it is not only blantantly unfair and wrong, it is a hideous and unfounded accusation that I don't take lightly. I do not judge people by the color of their skin, their gender, their sexual orientation, their religion.......I judge them by their character. I am not color blind and I see and appreciate the differences and diversity in all of us
One can agree or disagree respectfully.
Regarding my "institutionalized racism" comment, let me be clear......I believe we have made incredible strides toward racial equality in the last 40 years. It is nowhere near the problem it once was. We all need to ensure that barriers for opportunity are eliminated for everyone, regardless of skin color.
Tommy,
I agree with the challenges you cite as being important, but institutionalized rasism is just as important an issue for me as is fatherless homes, and crime. They can be taken on simultaneously.
Maybe he should have compared himself to Al Sharpton or David Duke whichever is more appropriate, because either Rush is a race baiter or he is a racist.
Lynn , I am with you on that one, I will say Rush is both. He believes in pitting race against race, and we know from his ESPN work that he is a racist.
Doris, That wasn't the only time he's done that. To support his affirmative action stance Rush dismisses the abilities of non-conservative African Americans and their achievements are called into question and he often states that they are the product of "social engineering" which is Rush’s code word for affirmative action. He has done this with Barak Obama and hilariously he thought that the new Senator from Ohio was Black because of his unusual first name and he tried to make what he thought was his race into an example of a Black being promoted over a White. Regardless of how you feel about affirmative action and I've read some very nuanced opinions expressed on these boards about the subject; but there are few here that seem to believe as Rush wants them to believe that random Blacks are rounded up off the streets and asked -Hey you wanna go to Harvard?, Hey you wanna be a quarterback or a Senator?
Al Sharpton = David Duke? Rush, that is a stretch, don't you think?.
To borrow from Lloyd Benston... I've been around David Duke many times, from as far back as college. David Duke is a nut job. The Reverand Sharpton may have his faults but he is no David Duke.
At least every now and then Al Sharpton says something that makes sense, and he's often on the correct side of issues. When was the last time David Duke said anything that wasn't hate inspiring or was on the correct side of an issue?
How about when David Duke recently attended the big Holocaust Denial convention in Iran. When did Sharpton do something like that? Oh, I remember now, never.
Sharpton has had some missteps in his time that's for sure. And he's screwed up, and rarely, if ever, apologized for his screw ups, but to place him in the same category of David Duke.. Wow, just wow.
I'm with Jeter on this one. If Rush had made a comparison to Robertson, or Falwell, that is a lot closer to the mark, but I still think that Sharpton comes out ahead of those guys as well.
I do not have a problem with Limbaugh on this one. Al Sharpton is a disgusting racist, look what he did in the Tawana Brawley not to mention his phonyness. What he did to Don Imus was disgusting and race bating at its worst.
I'm with you there, brother. To bait Imus into calling those female college athletes "nappy headed hos" was dispicable. And if he hadn't twisted it to appear that Imus was insinuating that they appeared to be black ghetto women with curly hair who traded sexual favors for money and gifts, nobody would have made that connection.
I doubt Al Sharpton would be so uppity if he wasn't a congressman. But we allow everyone to vote these days, eh ERN?
Does Gwen Ifill have to look like a "Cleaning Lady" to report on the White house?
Are you joking, or do you think Gwen Ifill really looks like a cleaning lady and if so why? I saw Ifill on Meet the Press Sunday and she looks like she always looks, she was impeccably dressed and she has fine manners and comport.
It's a reference to Imus calling her a "cleaning lady".
So Limbaugh has NAN down pat but can't rememeber KKK? Whats up with that?
Maybe mentioning the name KKK would violate his membership oath...
Beat me to it, Nerzog. I thought of the "secret society" angle first as well.
I just did my lunchtime Rush scan, but it was an unbearable whine-fest, and I could only take a minute or so. His latest tribulation is the medias commenting on the VTech tragedy as connected to the "coarsening of our culture', and citing Rush and others as examples.
While I don't see much benefit to doling out blame to individuals for things like this, Rush's reaction was hilarious- Hyperventilating about the love of country, optimism and inspiration of conservatives, while then blaming "libs" for all of the hate that causes shooting sprees and everything else that's wrong with society.
Rush mentioned left wing blogs as a source of the most obscene hateful speech out there. sheesh.
"Rush mentioned left wing blogs as a source of the most obscene hateful speech out there. sheesh."
Things do get heated hear at times, but I've braved some Right wing sites and they get way past ridiculous.
Yeah, Monk, everybody gets heated up about something, I just think it's funny to compare the subjects of Rush's anger with those of liberals.
I caught that screed too, I couldn't stomach much either. I couldn't help but agree with the single point he made about the needless replaying of the footage on the news. After I heard him say that I changed the channel because I knew where he was headed; don't blame me and my peers for hate-speech or violent political rhetoric, blame liberals.
What a master subject changer is Rush.
Oh yeah, the first rule of the KKK is never talk about the KKK.
Good Fight Club reference.
Maybe mentioning the name KKK would violate his membership oath...
The first rule of the KKK - you do not talk about the KKK. The second rule of the KKK - you do not talk about the KKK.
I am Jack's pilonidal cyst...
Dude, my bad. Didn't mean to repeat your absolutely dead on Fight Club referrence.
No sweat. "Great minds..." and all.
You can have the "I am Jack's raging ego" reply to Brabantio's classic "polynoidal cyst" reply.
Evolutional path:KKK--->White Citizen's Counsel--->Rebublican party
I also thought that was odd.
He wasn't talking about the KKK. Read it again.
What was he talking about?
Could have been the NAAWP, AA, or ?????
David Duke makes Al Sharpton look like M.L.K.
Al sharpton has his faults (many), but he is no David Duke.
NOt that Duke or Rush would know the difference. We all look a like to those two anyway.
Limbaugh
Still spewing his hate? Al Sharpton is an American Hero, Limbaugh and David Duke are racist pigs.
Oh please, Doris. Al Sharpton spent a little time in Korea with a bunch of other guys. And it wasn't even his idea. Big whoop.
Rush and Duke have more than 45 years of personal dedication to changing the landscape of this country and one Nobel Peace Prize nomination between them.
So don't try to pull that false equivalence crap around here...
What are you talking about? Are you insane? Or just playing games. Racism is serious, go play your games in the school yard.
I'm pretty sure it was a joke, Doris.
Yes, it was an attempt to use absurdity humorously to illustrate the Limpaugh technique of using absurdity seriously to illustrate his absurd conclusions.
But... I guess I don't have it today. I'm done.
That was good!
I guess if you hate whites and jews, then Al Sharpton might be an American hero to you.
That is outrageous, how exactly does Al Sharpton hate Whites and Jews? And more importantly who told you this Sean Hannity or Michael Savage?
I've never heard Michael Savage and Sean Hannity gives me a headache.
But I have heard Al Sharpton. Try reading up on his comments during the Tawana Brawley and Duke U. rape cases. Then read up on his Crown Heights racism against Jews.
"Sharpton has been seen by some commentators as inflaming tensions with remarks such as "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house" and referring to Jews as "diamond merchants.""

Once again I find it humorous how you all take such offense to Rush. He made the statement to point out how specific Sharpton was in who he was by inviting only Democrats to his convention. He pointed out, and you all fell for it, how much of a todo it would create if David Duke were to hold a convention and invite only Republicans. It was a joke, and as usual, you all have failed to see the humor. When did this country lose its sense of humor? Now, do you think it would create havoc?
No he wasn't. He was insinuating that Sharpton's group was a radical lefty organization to whom the Democratic candidates were cozying up. And he was implying that there is no outrage of such a relationship, but if the Republican candidates cozied up to a David Duke group, people would be screaming. He was equating NAN to the KKK or NAAWP.
Now that you understand what he was saying, would you like to amend your analysis? It's hard to get to where you're going when your first step is in the wrong direction.
Bravo well said, and SOBs do come in different varieties.
…it wasn't funny because unlike you and Rush we don't see the equivalency of David Duke and Al Sharpton, and for this joke to be funny you have to accept that premise. Al Sharpton is a civil rights activist that has become addicted to media attention, and that's unfortunate because in many cases his celebrity now supersedes and overshadows what he's attempting to highlight. Moreover, those of you that have a hard-on for Sharpton will in knee-jerk fashion take the opposite view of any issue Sharpton is a proponent of. All you know is Sharpton is for it then yer agin it.
I think most of us here would instinctively oppose anything Rush might say, and many, not just racists, would react to Sharpton the same way.
I lived in NY during the Crown Heights and Brawley affairs. I heard Sharpton's voice on the tape, telling Mason that the Brawley case, in which they cynically and systematically destroyed a man's career and reputation, would make them the "biggest n*&&#@s in this town."
Now I find it uncomfortable that the (undeniably intelligent) Sharpton effectively articulates many beliefs I hold, because one belief I hold is that integrity is like virginity. You don't get it back.
The best you can do in defending Sharpton is to say, "He's a SOB, but he's our SOB." To me, that's not good enough.
I agree with your sentiments concerning "spokesmen", especially those who echo my ideology. I don't want to have to defend THEM in the course of defending my philosophy. And in that vein, Al is definitely an SOB. But I think he's a different SOB than Duke, and a comparison of the two parts at the following point: Duke is racist because of feelings of superiority or fear of other races, doesn't matter which. Al's actions appear to be based on a desire for power and wealth. To boil it down, Dukes hatred is sincere and deep-rooted, Al's is for show and effect.
The right treats this man and Jesse Jackson as if they're evil incarnate, they've got enough people on the right clamoring for their heads and I won't join in the mob, especially when I think there are many many on the right who use their platforms five days a week to race bait. In addition, as I have said here before the Jesse Jackson's of the world whether they have strayed from their original intent and if fame has somehow corrupted them I do not know; but I am forever grateful to these guys because their efforts and courage (being a civil rights activist was dangerous work) in the past paved a smother road for me. I never had to deal with the blatant racism that my parents and my grandparents endured. That said there are more Black voices out here and I wish the media and Whites when they’ve made a racist statement would stop running to Jackson and Sharpton to get the Black take on things or seek Black forgiveness. Jackson and Sharpton and nobody else can extend my forgiveness to anyone. I said and I still feel that Don Imus should have been suspended perhaps longer than two weeks or as someone said and I can’t remember who that he should have worked for free for a few months or something and donated that money to an appropriate charity like something for inner city kids. I believe that Don Imus graduated the degree of his stupid racist, sexist, and homophobic humor over the years because he never suffered a true consequence prior to this. This is the first, but I do understand and respect that sponsors did not want to be associated with Imus’ brand of humor, (that shows societal progress) and that the true impetus behind Imus' firing was sponsor withdrawal.
Very well stated.
Actually, she. I was trying to prove how both Duke and Sharpton are equally guilty of hate speech.
http://www.israpundit.com/2006/?p=4436
That's more like it. If she has something meaningful to say on Sharpton's behavior, then you should demonstrate that instead of "a letter to the editor we published in the Poughkeepsie Journal on July 19, 1988", which only reflects someone's opinion of Sharpton's behavior.
I was trying to prove how both Duke and Sharpton are equally guilty of hate speech.
You did a lousy job of it. That quote you're so fond of are only the words of Bill Levinson, not Al Sharpton. The worst quote I could find attributed directly to Sharpton on that whole page was the "pin back their yarmulkes" quote. Hardly the stuff of hate speech. And for me to believe that the really hard-core Sharpton stuff was left off of that website is beyond my capacity without chemical assistance.
Keep searching for that "killer quote" you thought you had.
It was a stupid and childish thing to say and very unbecoming a reverend, but that is a killer quote that has been filtered through a Sharpton hating wing nut brain. Sharpton bad, must hate Sharpton, must hate Sharpton, must Hate Sharpton.....
Little more than race baiting by comedian Rush Limbauuuugh. (Wow...Limbaugh race baiting??!!....noooooo)
Anyone who know even a smidge of history (apparently Limbaugh skipped class that day) understands there is no comparison, none, nada, between David Duke and Al Sharpton. I take that back, they are both human, they have that in common. Not sure Limbaugh knows even that. The guy just can't pass on an opportunity to interject race into any discussion.
More to come from EIB's resident racist.
This is fair. Al Sharpton is merely a black version of David Duke. The difference is Republicans said the GOP had no room for David Duke, while Democrats kiss Sharpton's ring and make a KKK Kleagle their Senate majority leader.
I beg to differ, Kev... Whereas, Al Sharpton has been known to be denounce particular individual white people, David Duke made a career of denouncing the entire black race... and he hated Jews, too. Duke admired Adolf Hitler, for Chrissake... Duke used to dress up in a Nazi cotume, complete with swastika, long before he donned the Klan's hood and robe.
Ask yourself this: Has Al Sharpton ever endorsed white political candidates? Has David Duke black or Jewish political candidates? Sorry... Al Sharpton can many times be irritating, be he ain't no David Duke.
MMFA: You keep demonstrating that Rush is Right.
No,.. if anything these MMFA features show Rush is High. I can't think of any other reason why Rush says some of the crazy things he does... and he is addicted to Oxycontin. Just stating a fact.
Irony, the poster before you just proved that this demonstrates that Rush is right. Well, not proved, but backed up with evidence. No, I mean argued forcefully. No wait, what's the term I'm looking for. Oh Yeah, mindlessly babbled it.
Mega dittos to you, HBL... ;>)
God Bless George W. Bush.
Man, I'm going freeper. I can post and watch rasslin at the same time.
Yeah but that lobotomy...
Hunt:
Don't say "mindlessly babbled". That's offensive.
Say instead, "baselessly asserted". Baseless assertions are, after all, the cornerstones of Rightwing misinformation, and their proliferation provides this site with a wealth of material.
Not really but you keep demonstrating that you havent got a clue.
Sharpton is a Jew hating, race baiting, hate merchant. And for the democrats to be cozying up to this scumbag is worse than shameful.
