Olbermann named Limbaugh "Worst Person" for claiming Dems are interested in Darfur for electoral reasons
Keith Olbermann named Rush Limbaugh the "winner" of his nightly "Worst Person in
the World" segment for claiming that Democratic opponents of the
Iraq war have focused on the
genocide in Darfur in order to secure a
percentage of the black "voting bloc." Olbermann also named Bill O'Reilly the
"runner-up" for telling "his cable audience, quote, 'We know that journalists,
most journalists, give money to Democrats.' " Olbermann asserted: "Not really,
no. The report said that most journalists who do give money to political groups
give that money to Democrats. But the report only found 127 American journalists who had
given money to Democrats out of about 100,000."
During the August 26 special Sunday edition of Countdown on NBC, host Keith Olbermann named syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh the "winner" of his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment for claiming that Democratic opponents of the Iraq war have focused on the genocide in Darfur in order to secure a percentage of the black "voting bloc," as Media Matters for America documented. Olbermann stated: "[O]ur winner, in an upset, comedian Rush Limbaugh, explaining that Americans who want to see their sons and daughters, and friends and neighbors, brought home from Iraq alive are actually racists." Olbermann quoted Limbaugh's comments from the August 21 broadcast of the nationally syndicated Rush Limbaugh Show on the purported "reasons" why Democrats "want to get us out of Iraq but can't wait to get us into Darfur." Limbaugh said on that program, "What color is the skin of the people in Darfur? It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they're in trouble. ... 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."
Limbaugh frequently appears on Olbermann's "Worst Person" list, as Media Matters has noted (here, here, here, here, here, and here). On August 2, Olbermann awarded Limbaugh the "bronze" for claiming that "Democrats have, quote, 'aligned themselves with the enemy. The enemy kills more soldiers, their spokesmen here in America are the Democrats. When we kill more of the enemy, the Democrats are silent and they say nothing. But when you have reports of, you know, another IED or a picture of a car on fire, then the Democrats assume the role of media PR spokespeople for Al Qaeda.' "
On the August 27 show, Olbermann also named Fox News host Bill O'Reilly the "runner-up" for, as Media Matters also noted, asserting that "most journalists give money to Democrats," apparently referring to an MSNBC report on journalists' political donations. After reading O'Reilly's claim, Olbermann responded: "Not really, no. The report said that most journalists who do give money to political groups give that money to Democrats. But the report only found 127 American journalists who had given money to Democrats out of about 100,000. That would be approximately one one-tenth of one percent, Billy, as opposed to, say, most."
On July 18, Olbermann named O'Reilly the "winner" of the "Worst Person" segment for defending his earlier comparison of the blog Daily Kos to the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan. As Media Matters has documented (here, here, here, and here), Olbermann also frequently names O'Reilly in his "Worst Person" segment.
From the August 26 special edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on NBC:
OLBERMANN: Our runner-up, good ol' Bill-O. Bill O'Reilly of Fixed News, citing a recent investigative report from, of all places, MSNBC.com. He told his cable audience, quote, "We know that journalists, most journalists, give money to Democrats." Not really, no. The report said that most journalists who do give money to political groups give that money to Democrats. But the report only found 127 American journalists who had given money to Democrats out of about 100,000. That would be approximately one one-tenth of one percent, Billy, as opposed to, say, most.
But our winner, in an upset, comedian Rush Limbaugh explaining that Americans who want to see their sons and daughters, and friends and neighbors, brought home from Iraq alive are actually racists. "They want to get us out of Iraq but they can't wait to get us into Darfur," comedian explained. "What color is the skin of the people in Darfur," he asked rhetorically. "It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to continue voting for them, if they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc they're in trouble." Wait, I haven't gotten to the best part yet. "So you go into Darfur," comedian added, "and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela."
Rush, I hate to break this to you but, most of American divestment in South Africa came while Ronald Reagan -- you might remember him -- while he was the president. And while the first George Bush was the president, they let Mandela out of jail and made the African National Congress legal again. And also, you're nuts.
Comedian Rush Limbaugh, today's Worst Person in the World.

Congratulations, Rush. Well deserved, as usual.
I agree, Rush was so wrong on this.
He's baaaaack!
Someone mentioned on another thread that Keith had been on vacation. Just one question since I don't watch Keith, doesn't whoever fills in for him do the WPITW awards? If they do, why didn't MMFA give them a thread?
Me thinks Brock & Olbermann have a little deal going on here ;-)
I already posted on the original Darfur/Limbaugh thread. I have nothing new to add to that opinion.
Nothing new here other than MMFA giving their errand boy a shout out for awarding Limbaugh.
Yawn.
Hi Jeter, from what I've seen when some one is filling in for KO they do not do WPITW segment.
Thanks for that info LostLogic
I will now shutup ;-)
We can only hope Jeter will shut up. Permanently.......
Tell ya what WZ, if you ever post anything of substance instead of just trolling this forum I'll shut up permanently.
Deal?
[Looks like I'm gonna be here a long long time]
Do us all a favor Jeter. Shut up permanently now.
I'd hoped to see this show. Somehow it didn't appear.
The usual deserving suspects made it I see.
In the spirit of pre-emption, why is what where?
To fast for me Jeter. You sunk my pre-emption! Dang you to heck!
Haha, sorry about that ;-)
Someday I'd really like someone to give me a reasonable explanation on why these Keith threads are here...other than the pat answer I usually get: This is MMFA's site & they can do as they please.
Hey I know that! But if that's the only reason...
If KO uncovered some conservative misinformation on his own...more power to mmfa for highlighting it.
Yet, this endless cheerleading and repetition of the same issue is a transparent charade by mmfa into their political pandering soul...and better said by another poster...mmfa is just feeding red meat to the zealots that come here...with the main intent of venting their anger.
Zealots? Surely not.
I'm afraid your analytical abilities have abandoned you there, Wes.
MMfH is simply cheering on someone else who highlights conservative misinformation, purely for entertainment purposes. None of the stories on KO evoke rage from the left, but they do draw out a lot of smiles from those happy to know that SOMEone out there in the "MSM" is battling the propaganda.
I agree with that assessment.
I commend you for your flawless judgement.
If KO uncovered some conservative misinformation on his own...more power to mmfa for highlighting it.
Absolutely agree with that Wesley. And every blue moon there has been a Keith thread like that.
I just don't get the point of doing re-runs of threads already featured & discussed just because Keith gave it an award. Seems pointless to me.
And redundant.
Jeter
I think the threads are here to give Keith more PR.
No doubt in my mind about that.
Like I said I think Brock & Olbermann have a deal.
If O'Reilly or Hannity (or any national news broadcast) calls-out Limbaugh for his Darfur slime, I'll bet they get "PR" here on Media Matters, too.
Adding that: I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for O'Reilly to feature Limbaugh's remarks on his "most ridiculous item of the day" feature, however.
And your bitching and moaning about it is pointless and redundent ... but it doesn't seem to stop you either, does it?
If it annoys you it's worth it :-)
And there you have it, a self-admittance that Jeter2 comes here to annoy people. Like the proverbial mosquito, an annoying pest that only serves to distract.
Get a life.
Wesley, I am not red meat. One of your boys, Dr. Savage said that I am vermin. Call me by my RIGHTname of don't call me any names.
P.S. No Darfurians can vote here RUSH...only a joke. And Rush when you concluded that someone is trying to get US into Darfur, I can only venture that you have given up on the '08 elections since this President won't help those people and only the Dems will do it...Furthermore, if Bush decides to send US into Darfur, will you, RUSH Limbaugh declare that the only reason is to gain the black vote?..that is not a joke...
"mmfa is just feeding red meat to the zealots that come here...with the main intent of venting their anger."
It must be really upsetting to the political right that the net has the power to give everyone a voice.
The right wing has long enjoyed an ownership juggernaut of talk radio where equally bloodthirsty righties call in and vent their anger to a host who agrees with everything they say in front of an audience of millions.
But the posters of MMFA are the zealots?
Nope...only the zealots are zealots.
But you're not naming names, of course.
Of course not...they know who they are...you know who they are...I know who they are.
It would just be redundant to name them...kinda like these KO threads.
OK. I think that citing your burning desire to avoid redundancy as an excuse may sell with a few of us, but probably not with the zealots.
Bobs your uncle.
These post arn't redundant for some of us. I work alot and do not own a tv. (by choice) Besides, if you or your right-wing buddies have a problem why don't you try to debate the message and not the messenger.
"mmfa is just feeding red meat to the zealots that come here"
What a laugh. As if Limbaugh isn't feeding red meat to his zealots. That doesn't concern you tho.
At least Rush provides FRESH red meat, not the day old variety MMFA and Bathtub Boy pass back and forth.
Now, that's funny. Do you know how Vultures feed their young? That's how Rush feeds his sycophantic dittobots.
That he knows he just tried to feed us second hand Rush regurgitation the same way.
"At least Rush provides FRESH red meat"
What you're getting from that Limbaugh-cow sounds like its coming out of the bovine's rump. Bon appetit.
Dave, you are slipping.
The apt response would have included the word "bull" in it, not "cow".
I will give you a half point for using the word "bovine".
..and yummy yummy how I do like my read meat with a delicate zealot sauce, Wes you're sooo smart!
may I suggest grey matter poupon with that red meat?
Grey matter poupon you say my good sir, now that's classy!!
Just guessing here, but it could just be a "tip of the hat" to a kindred spirit. Since Kieth is one of the few openly "liberal" cable TV talking heads, maybe MMFA wants to give him a plug whenever possible. If you think of all the liberal talkers, radio or TV, I'm thinking that Kieth is the most well known, though I haven't seen the stats, and could be all wet.
I would imagine that conservative blogs mention Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity pretty often, as well.
You have no idea! Google "I love rush limbaugh" gave me 1.6 million hits. Wanna see just a few of the examples?

Jeter, I'll take a stab at speculating as to MMFA' motives.(-: If their mission is to debunk the conservative agenda/misinformation thingy and to provide the tools to others to do like wise (this is my quick poaraphrase of the about us. Feel free to read verbatim to get better understanding about their mission) then it would follow that they would promote items that do the same and promote items that show their efforts to provide the tools to debunk is effective. KO seems to be a perfect example of someone who is debunking misinformation and conservative agenda thingy and using the tools MMFA provides. Perhaps it is positive reinforcement for others to follow suit. (-:
Nerzog & LostLogic,
This might be hard to believe but MMFA's arch-enemy Chris Matthews occasionally covers a story that was featured here & slaps the media for the way they MIS-informed the public& promoted a Conservative/GOP agenda.
Yet MMFA never gives Chris a pat on the head the way they do Keith. And I'm sure if one did some research there would be other examples out there on other programs. If MMFA wants to pat the media on the head when they've done *good*, maybe they should introduce a sidebar column here called *Tip of the Hat* [borrowed that from Nerzog]and feature the examples there.
I still say Brock & Olberman have a *deal*
Oh well.
You could be right. I agree that Matthews sometimes takes jabs at both sides. He's frustrating to watch, because sometimes he acts like a real journalist, and sometimes he acts like an errand boy.
My favorite anecdote along these lines is when Chris blasted Michelle Malkin about the Swift Boat ads. I was really proud of him...he virtually tore her a new one. Then, a few days later, he was interviewing Zell Miller at the Republican Convention and Zell slapped him down for the way he had treated Malkin. That's when Zell challenged him to a duel, right after his famous "spitball" speech. Sadly, Chris just rolled over and played dead.
I will never forget when zell challenged him to a duel. That was absolutely hilarious. Just another wacko politician showing his ass.
Someday I'd really like someone to give me a reasonable explanation
Actually, that happens every single time someone repeats this question. You guys just choose not to believe or understand the answer.
YOU'RE FREE TO DISAGREE. *
* tm Tommy
Chris Collinsworth did not seem so thrilled with Keith last night on this choice. I sense conflict at NBC Sports.
Leave that to the menfolk. Nobody named "Sue" should be worrying her fragile little mind over sports. She should be fetching beer and chips, and making sandwiches.
Now put down your shoes, and go crack us open a couple cool ones...DON'T WALK IN FRONT OF THE TV!!!! Sheesh...
Wow, very sexist comment. Would you take my chance to retract it? I know alot of women who love football including my own daughter.
Take a deep breath, Doris, and relax. Then ask yourself:
Does the entirety of what I wrote seem more like the lunatic ravings of a misogynist, or satirical exaggeration?
Ok, fair enough.
ok Imus, you are fired.
I got the impression neon was joking with this post...of course it could also be the result of his "little woman" cracking one too many of those cold ones over his head too (-;
Lost, perfect comeback. Yeah he was joking and I don't need an apology. It was funny kind of like when Lynn refers to HBL as "manly" not that he's not "manly" she just .... forget. It was funny IMO ;-)
It may be important that the type of beer come into play here. Domestic or Imported. And one should never say things out of line concerning women.
Personally, I remember the last word I said to my ex-wife...She asked what was on TV last last night and I answered...DUST. So be careful what you say.
Actually, after thinking about it, I do owe everyone here an apology.
I forgot it was Monday when I made that original comment. And we know how broads are on Mondays...
How pithy of you!
My wife asked me if I wanted her to make me a drink. I said "Sure, that would be great."
After about 15 minutes it appeared that she forgot about it, so I asked her how she was coming along with that drink she was making.
She snapped; "I've only got 2 hands. It sure would be nice if someone would wait on me!" I answered; "I've been waiting on you and that drink for 15 minutes!"
I never did get that drink.
I think you owe all women an apology for this hateful remark.
I don't think you really care. I think you're just trying to appear "sensitive", to attract chicks.
Considering I am a "chick" I do care. If your just joking fine but I do not find sexist jokes funny.
The fact you ARE a chick is not evidence you were not trying to attract OTHER chicks.
I'm a woman and neon doesn't owe me an apology...I thought his satire was funny. I don't believe he meant it in an offensive manner just playing around.
If he was just joking fine, but as a female I never found sexist jokes that funny and sometimes you meet the occasional sexist.
Will you two ladies pipe down, I'm trying to think.
Why do woman yap so much?
"Why do woman yap so much?"-Jeter
Its how we keep are fragile brains agile while making all those sandwiches and doing all that fetching?
Good answer ;-)
I'll have a Roast Beef sandwich & a Coors.
Now go...fetch.
;-)
damn republican beer the put conservative mind numbing drugs in it you know , explains alot
Jeter, stand up it will improve your thinking ;-)
LOL...now that was a good comeback (-:
Ow that hurt Pearlene :-O
I give up...you ladies win.
I shall now slink off to get my own coffee.
Can I get you anything?
I'll take the special, you know the Liberal red meat sandwich with pickles on the side.
Lynn, I even brought you some french fries...I mean freedom fries. Enjoy :-)
A mountain Dew for me, please. And look good while you're doing it!
Look good? Silly Julia, don't I always? ;-)
Baum chaka baum baum
Jeter, you know you are my favorite conservative ;-)
I'll just have my usual wine.
Wine in a box for the sweet & lovely Pearlene...and I'll throw in some crackers&cheese :-)
My work buddie tells me she needs 10,000 words a day to function properly. My wife runs on premium, so she's getting in 15,000 a day.
I, too, meet the occasional sexist, and frankly, I find them archaic and - due to the absurdity of their attitude - funny.
Nothing signals the collapse of an antiquated custom as much as when it's personification becomes humor. By not recognizing how ridiculous a misogynistic state-of-mind is nowadays, I think you're actually helping delay its extinction. Righteous indignation is only truly effective for the oppressed. Once that oppression is marginalized, righteous indignation becomes fodder for it's targets.
Well said, Neon.Almost as funny as conservatives crying about "PC" (meaning limiting their genuine bigotry) are liberals so sensitive that even satirizing this stuff is seen as bigotry or hate.
But that's just one ultra-manly man's opinion. ;0)
I think you've shown to be as keen a judge of masculine philosophy as there is.
But after reading Kevin's concerns below, maybe we need to get his opinion. You know, just for a completely...uh..."different" perspective.
I thought it was pretty funny like you and Pearl did. I also found the you’re trying to be sensitive to attract chicks come back funny as well. Neo and HBL are pretty funny guys IMO with a somewhat cheeky type sense of humor. I think if you post here long enough you appreciate it although folks that don't know these two might be taken aback until they get to know them. But of course humor is a personal thing for instance I don’t like bathroom jokes and I’m no fan of slapstick, oh well.
Chris spoke like someone who never watches Keith's show. Anyone who does knows that the serious news of the day, usually involving the real worst people, usually comes in the first half hour of Countdown and that the WPITW segment is Keith's chance to jestingly highlight stupid S*** that was said or done by stupid people.
Now I do not know much about Football and NBCs coverage but who is Chris Collinsworth?
He's a former NFL player turned sportcaster. He was sitting along side Bob Costas when Keith spoke with them last night.
Yikes. That's sportscaster.
Well Collinsworth has donated to Republicans before. Look out for fireworks if Keith tries to continue to turn the NFL Show into a Bush Bashing republican fest
http://www.newsmeat.com/sports_political_donations/Cris_Collinsworth.php
Keith being a sports media veteran, I won't hold my breath. Still, he does need to leave Countdown at the desk where it belongs. I think Collinsworth made that abundantly clear.
Well I think this is the last we will see of Countdown on NBC. The ratings for his show were a disaster (suprise).
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6471981.html?rssid=193
Just like it says in your link, even Keith had his doubts. I didn't expect huge numbers either, but there's more to the story...
Affiliates chose to preempt or ditch Keith in favor of their local programming. It didn't come on until 10pm where I live on the west coast.
It had a horrible time slot, NBC didn't promote it, and affiliates didn't embrace it. Few even knew it was on, and many of those who did couldn't watch it because it simply was not on where they lived. taking this into account, you're right, it's no surprise it didn't get any numbers.
I'm no broadcast expert, but this seems like the wrong way to go about a network debut.
Nielsen fast-national numbers: 4,146,000 total viewers (almost 6 times Keith's July MSNBC average).
Keith managed to beat Fox's "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" At least we have that one bright spot.
disaster is a slight exageration don't you think.
You have to wonder if discredited reporter David Brock and Olbermann are having sexual relations.
Kev:
I think you're probably the only one wondering about that or maybe you're fantasizing about it. They are both kinda cute!Kevin, when you "wonder" about these things, what are the boys wearing?
Frankly, no. I don't have to wonder that.
But if you're comfortable with that scene in your mind's eye, I say more power to ya. Whatever gets you through the night...
"You have to wonder if discredited reporter David Brock and Olbermann are having sexual relations."
You'd have to --if you don't have any of your own to wonder about.
My guess is Kevins only sexual relations involve cash or credit
No, I don't have to wonder any such thing...but you're entitled to your own private fantasies. I prefer to imagine Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin.
Nerzog: "I prefer to imagine Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin."
Thanks, Nerzog. I just threw up a little in my mouth, you sicko.
Nah I'm curious as to whether Weiner, Bill O and Sean are having a menage a trois?. Think so?
Oh, Pearlene, you are wicked today!
Kev, sorry to beat the dead horse but did you know this:
Idaho GOP Sen. Craig Arrested Over Lewd Incident In Male Public Restroom
www.huffingtonpost.com/
What's with Republican men and public restrooms?
Well maybe because they think the sex they really like is dirty so it should be had in a dirty place, or maybe that's just where the male hookers hang out .
Lynn it's gotta be the hooker thing.
You have to wonder what is in the head of someone so obsessed with OTHER peoples sexual doings. Closet getting a little cramped is it Kevin?
Jeter sure spends a lot of time commenting on a thread that he considers redundent.
The "Sloppy 2nd" Redundancy Regiment of the WITH Patrol is never content to say their peace on the Olbermann threads. They yearn for the fix that only MMFA can provide and simply cannot leave well enough alone.
Yeah, I don't get all these WITH comments in the KO thread. I understand what they talking about, I read a thread, and then basicly the same thread shows up the next day, but it doesn't bother me at all. I think Keith is funny with the worst person thing.
I mean, not to mention, if you know this is how its been and always is, why do keep posting the same response in every KO thread. Everytime I see one I know atleast three people by name who will say, "Wow, suprise, a KO thread on MMFA. Something's fishy." Look, if it bothers you that much just skip those threads, quit wasting your time and everyone else's.
Sexiest jokes are hillarious.
Olbermann named Limbaugh "Worst Person" ... yawn.
The sun rises in the East...dogs bark...KO criticizes RL ... yawn...I'm confused. The WITH Patrol's manifesto of late has been to accuse Olbermann of being obsessed with Bill O'Reilly. So Rush Limbaugh has now officially stolen the title of KO's Obsession?
I also think you conveniently left something out of your profound summation of the order of all things mundane, so I'll amend it for you:
The sun rises in the East...dogs bark...RL says something that's racist, insensitive, completely untrue or insanely stupid to his immense audience of mindless followers... KO criticizes RL ... yawn...
Lefties accuse RL of being "racist" and slander RL's audience as being a bunch of morons... yawn.
Gee why would anyone call someone who told a caller to take that bone out of his nose a racist?
To see if they could make a dittohead type "yawn" several times? Sorry, I thought it was a riddle.
I do like the trendy "yawn" thing.It's like the ADD version of "nothing to see here", and "just ignore this",
It seems to be gaining popularity with the conservative posters who think pretending to be bored by the exposure of bullsh*t means there isn't any bullsh*t.
Or maybe they're just sleepy from cheerleading for bullsh*t.
FAIR:
As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
(linky)
Ah, those objective seekers of truth at "Fairness and Acuracy in Reporting" ...
If you take a few isolated comments completely out of context then you can smear just about anyone.
So exactly WHAT context would make telling a caller to take that bone out of his nose NOT be racist unless it was preceded by I would have to be a bigoted moron to say...
Then by all means, link me to the full context of these statements.
According to snopes.com, one of their readers provided a Newsday article that quoted Limbaugh saying these things, and that to their knowledge, Rush has never denied or disclaimed it.
Ah, but if you actually read the Snopes piece, you will see that RL regrets having said it.
So, for consistency, if you accept Senator Byrd's regrets that he was a grand whatzit in the KKK, you also should put RL's (literally) regrettable comment from the 70's in perspective also.
So then for consistancy sake, we should treat Limbaugh once admitting to feeling a bit guilty BUT NOT SO GUILTY HE ACTUALLY APPOLGIZED, in the same vien as Byrds myriad and public appologies? Ah, no, not in this lifetime. Get back to me after Rushingdownthedrugaddictionmountain
coughs up a sincere and public appology like Byrd has, until then he's a racist.
And where should I put Trent Lott's?
You're again making an important omission from your hierarchy of mundane things, and another amendment is in order:
RL says something racist...Lefties accuse RL of being "racist" and slander RL's audience as being a bunch of morons... yawn.
Furthermore, 'morons' was your terminology, not mine. If you want to equate being a mindless follower of Rush Limbaugh (i.e. someone who lets Rush make up their mind for them) with being a moron, you go right ahead.
Surely no one is surprised at Rush's comments. His racism has been showing for years. When I used to belong to the Republican Party, I was always totally embarassed by his racist remarks and then to add to my discomfort, to hear all the Republicans make nice about his comments.
Limbaugh is either totally devoid of conscience in order to make those disgusting anti-women and racial comments or he is so stupid that he thinks those sorts of comments add to the enlightened conversation. If that is the case, one must wonder about his value system. Actually I did not make up the rules about how we must treat our brothers. God did. All this palaver about the "Christian right" and then they put up and deify such a hateful person. Does not fit with their constant drum beating about the moral majority.
If one was to search their soul and find RL to be a person worth defending, I seriously wonder about their moral compass. That goes double for Savage. These are mean spirited liars and dissemblers.
I got the "Media Matters" email, with the "Rush Limbaugh's Latest Race-Based Rant..."
So I came to see just what the ruckus was about.
The only thing, I can see, that make his statements RACE related is your assertion that it's a race related statement.
We need more people like you to get those moron Liberals that can't think or read to rally against ....(what? oh yes) anything that seems to be middle of the road or conservative.
You go boy/girl? A.I.
Ermmm...how about the whole claiming the Dems only want to intervene in the whole Darfur genocide situation because they're afraid of losing the 'black vote' comment that sparked off this thread?
Just a suggestion...
If you are a reverend, it's a sad state of the clergy to begin a post here with the term "moron liberals." Sets a tone of disrespect immediately.
Limbaugh has a history of bringing up race at odd moments, when others aren't,..he charges a political calculation that is very cynical and frankly; in my opinion, a projection, because that is how he thinks.
Well Rev just because YOU are too stupid to see the color of the sky doesnt mean it isnt blue. Try some adult education reading comprehension classes I suggest begining at about a second grade level. When you can actually understand the written word get back to us.
Rev I found this just for:
GOP Strategist: "We Are ApproachingA Level Of Ridiculousness"
You sleep tight.
I actually listen to Rush once or twice a week just so I can shake my head at what a damn fool he is. There is no way on Gods green earth that Rush is a good person. He is hateful and thinks afro-americans are inferior. Thats a fact. Twist it anyway you want but its true. How do "christians" defend this man. Forget being from the left or right. Any descent, warm hearted person should see this man is down right hateful.
I personaly think rush hit the nail on the head. The dems dont care about Darfur. Just like they dont care for the enviroment. Well I cant actually say they all dont. but look at Edwards remarks about americans giving up there SUV's, and then he was asked about his what is it 28,000 sqft house he said he earned the right after years of hard work. Edwards is right of course he does deserve to have that house if he wants it, but darn it I want my SUV too. Back to Darfur though, Its like Iraq. People dont like the war in Iraq but what makes the people of Darfur more deservent of our help than the people of Iraq. Didn't Saddam kill millions of People there too. But you'll never get a Dem to say we needed to free those people. So we'll abandon them and go to Darfur, yeah right.
