Limbaugh on Obama: His "only chance of winning is that he's black"
On his radio program, while discussing Sen. Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, Rush Limbaugh asserted that the Democratic Party was "go[ing] with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black."
On the June 2 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, while discussing Sen. Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, Rush Limbaugh asserted that the Democratic Party was "go[ing] with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black." As Media Matters for America noted, Limbaugh said on his May 21 broadcast that "Barack Obama is an affirmative action candidate" and asserted during his May 14 broadcast that "[i]f Barack Obama were Caucasian, they would have taken this guy out on the basis of pure ignorance long ago."
Also during the June 2 broadcast, while referencing a May 26 column written by John Lott Jr., Limbaugh stated, "John Lott Jr. has this theory. He's done some research and found out that the growth of government can be traced to when women got the vote." Limbaugh later asserted, "The one observation you can make about this whole business, because he proved it. I mean, it's -- the growth of government started like crazy when women got the right to vote. Which just proves: Size does matter to 'em."
In his column, Lott claimed, among other things:
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal -- often viewed as the genesis of big government -- really just continued an earlier trend. What changed before Roosevelt came to power that explains the growth of government? The answer is women's suffrage.
From the June 2 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: I gotta give you something else to think about here, Nick, and I know you're on a cell phone. I can hear a little bit of delay, but -- you know, somebody's running Obama. Somebody's behind Obama. This -- there's -- and I don't mean in a conspiratorial way. There's always a mover and a shaker behind candidates. Reagan had his "kitchen cabinet" and so forth. Somebody's pushing Obama, somebody's writing his speeches, somebody has figured out that he was the best guy to get rid of the Clintons. There's somebody in the Democrat [sic] Party that really wants rid of the Clintons.
CALLER: Absolutely.
LIMBAUGH: We know that George Soros is involved with Obama, but there's somebody that's putting the words in his mouth. 'Cause you're right -- when he goes off the teleprompter, he is a different guy. He does not come off as the messiah, he doesn't come off as this great unifier. He has trouble articulating with a bunch of stutters and pauses and so forth. So -- but my point in telling you this is that there must be real animosity toward the Clintons at high levels of this party. To go with a veritable rookie whose only chance of winning is that he's black.
CALLER: Oh, absolutely. Well, you know what frustrates me the most is here you've got a candidate, Mrs. Clinton, that's done her duty, she's sat quietly for 20 years and been loyal to our party, and now look what she gets. I have a proposal that you may not like to hear, but if you'll hear me out on this. Mrs. Clinton --
LIMBAUGH: Well, I love listening to Democrat proposals.
CALLER: Well, you know, you guys are -- Republicans are upset about McCain and how he crosses the party line, but I think that he could do what's really good for the country and [unintelligible]. Why not show the ultimate sign of American unity and national unity and join up with an unstoppable ticket? Clinton -- rather, a McCain-Clinton ticket?
[...]
CALLER: I can't enjoy Hillary's implosion at all because I'm so afraid Obama. He just makes me nervous.
LIMBAUGH: That's not what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid, too, but I'm not -- I mean, I'm afraid of Obama, but I don't think Obama has a prayer.
CALLER: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, definitely not.
LIMBAUGH: I don't think he has -- by the way, did you hear last week -- did you hear me do the story on -- John Lott Jr. has this theory. He's done some research and found out that the growth of government can be traced to when women got the vote?
CALLER: I briefly heard you. I couldn't listen because I kind of teach part time. I teach a government and economics class but --
LIMBAUGH: You do?
CALLER: I do.
LIMBAUGH: Where?
CALLER: It's a private group, a private school. It started out as a home-school group, and then we -- are now a private school, considered a private school. So I teach part time and --
LIMBAUGH: Well, God bless you.
CALLER: -- I'm doing my best to indoctrinate the next generation here. So -- and you're helping me out there. I often bring my little radio to have them listen to your opening monologue.
LIMBAUGH: God bless you. You're doing the Lord's work out there.
CALLER: I'm trying to do my part, although my daughter said she's going to register as an independent. And I'm like, "Wha -- independent? OK, well, we'll talk."
LIMBAUGH: That's just because they have to rebel --
CALLER: Yeah, she's a good kid.
LIMBAUGH: -- Lisa. How old is your daughter?
CALLER: She's 17.
LIMBAUGH: Eh. It could be worse.
CALLER: Yeah. She's got a good head on her shoulders, though. But she said she wants to get into politics, perhaps, and I thought, "That's good, 'cause there's still [unintelligible]
LIMBAUGH: Independent -- she just doesn't want to have to take a stand on too many things right now, but give her time.
CALLER: Yeah.
LIMBAUGH: Give her time.
CALLER: Well --
LIMBAUGH: That's a shame you didn't hear the story about the growth of government being commensurate with women getting the vote, the right to vote.
CALLER: Yeah, I would've liked to have heard that. But I try to listen as much as I can.
LIMBAUGH: Well, I appreciate it, Lisa. Thanks so much.
CALLER: You're welcome. Have a great day.
LIMBAUGH: Great that you called. The one observation you can make about this whole business, because he proved it. I mean, it's -- the growth of government started like crazy when women got the right to vote. Which just proves: Size does matter to 'em.

Operation Chaos a failure? This crazy stuff with the democrat party and its candidates would have ended about 3 months ago! Think of all the fun we would have missed!
No wonder they screw up government every time they get their hands on it.
Oy.
By the way, Rush is personally responsible for bringing huge numbers of Democrats to the Primary and will also give us a huge number in the general. But he will find out, his diabolical plan actually energized Democrats so his nasty little plan just flops. However, he did realize how hopeless the Republican chances were so he thought to intrude on the Democrats with his hairbrained idea. In the end, he has single handedly assured the election of Obama. Now watch him switch and say that was his plan all the time. AND if you believe that I have this big resort I am willing to sell you for 50 billion bucks.
The joke will be on Jeff Christie and all the others on the right cheering him on if one of the first things President Obama does after taking the Oath of Office is sign an Executive Order reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine..... :-)
ATTENTION JEFF CHRISTIE:
The luandry called. Did you want starch in your hood and sheet?
What is it with Republics and their inability to distinguish between a noun and an adverb?
If they had fully functioning brains, they'd be Democrats. Instead, they roam around hunting rinos and being proud of things that no one should look upon as a source of pride.
"and being proud of things that no one should look upon as a source of pride."
I hope snoop isn't "proud" about the fact he claims to know what certain parts of rush's anatomy look like: "limpdick, pimple butt"
Phil,
Google Rush Limbaugh and Vietnam and you see the first hit from snopes.com: "Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh was disqualified from the Vietnam War due to a pilonidal cyst." TRUE
http://www.snopes.com/military/limbaugh.asp
And are you really telling me you have no memory of Limbaugh's arrest for having someone else's Viagra in his luggage after his Costa Rica trip?
And are you really telling me you have no memory of Limbaugh's arrest for having someone else's Viagra in his luggage after his Costa Rica trip?
If Philib had a memory for facts, he wouldn't post as many lie-filled items here on MMFA.....
"And are you really telling me you have no memory of Limbaugh's arrest for having someone else's Viagra in his luggage after his Costa Rica trip? "
You've given me more facts(?) about him than I ever care to know. Interesting that you liberals know more about him than a conservative. But, I guess, since I don't listen to him or watch him while you liberals can't take their ears and eyes off of him that would make sense. I prefer to watch and listen to factual news, while liberals seem to love rush. You love everything about him, well you must since you can't seem to stop talking about his butt and other parts.

Oh, don't give us that crap, Phil. Your "Never-Even-Heard_of-Rush" act is so phony, it's pathetic. The only reason that some of us subject ourselves to small doses of Jeff Christie's radio pukefest is to try and keep tabs on what your side is doing.
I prefer to watch and listen to factual news, while liberals seem to love rush. You love everything about him, well you must since you can't seem to stop talking about his butt and other parts.
If you actually listened to factual news, Phil, you would not be as ignorant as you are. And that bit about loving Jeff Christie's body parts seems to me to be a bit of projection. Perhaps you've discovered latent homosexual tendancies in yourself that fill you with shame? And in order to deflect them, you try to project them onto others? Hmmmm???
" seems to me to be a bit of projection."
So then your earlier comments concerning starch in the hood and sheet directly imply your deeply rooted racist tendencies, "And in order to deflect them, you try to project them onto others? Hmmmm???
Funny how a conservative who spends a lot of time here on a left-leaning website is lecturing us on how we are obsessed about someone on the right.
"I prefer to watch and listen to factual news, while liberals seem to love rush."
Very well said. Rush has never been about facts. There may be some hope for you yet.
Phil,
When I heard how pro-war Limbaugh was, I googled Limbaugh and Vietnam to see if he served. The articles came up that Limbaugh had that cyst.
If you had paid any attention to his troubles last fall, you would have heard that he might have violated his probation by having someone else's Viagara.
If you had paid any attention to his troubles last fall, you would have heard that he might have violated his probation by having someone else's Viagara.
If Phil paid any attention at all, he wouldn't post half of the stupid things he posts at MMFA....
"Viagra in his luggage after his Costa Rica trip?"--FBB
It was the Dominican Republic if I remember correctly. A "guys night out" was how I think Rush described it.
It was the Dominican Republic if I remember correctly. A "guys night out" was how I think Rush described it.
Yes. it was the Dominican republic. An impoverished nation where it is reported hundreds of young men and boys sell themselves for sex in order to survive. Seems like an island filled with male prostitutes would be the PERFECT vacation getaway for Jeff Christie, going by his personal record of performance...
"An impoverished nation where it is reported hundreds of young men and boys sell themselves for sex in order to survive"
Are you doing "research" on this subject? Like Bernie Ward did with child porn? Or like Tatum O'Neal says about coke? Is that how you know so much about that island 'paradise'?
Are you doing "research" on this subject? Like Bernie Ward did with child porn? Or like Tatum O'Neal says about coke? Is that how you know so much about that island 'paradise'?
No, Phil. I knw things because I read about them from reputable sources. For example, I know it's cold in Anarctica without having to go there. I know the Amazon River is very wide without having to see it in person. And I know that once again, you're bringing nothing to the table.
And you can just give up your little game of trying to claim that I'm homosexual. I happen to be straight. I've been married to my third wife for 15 years now and have two adult children from a previous marriage - a 33-year-old son and a 31-year-old daughter. And for the record, I have no problem with anyone being gay - however, I DO have a problem with gays like Jeff Christie who will not admit the truth about themselves. I consider them to be extreme hypocrits.
(BTW. Phil - just so you may actually learn something from this exchange, here's an article about prostitution in the Dominican Republic:
http://www.aegis.com/news/mh/1997/MH970604.html
What's the matter, Phil, not getting enough attention paid to your anatomy? Jealous much?
Judging by the quality of the posts he makes here at MMFA, it's a safe bet that no one loves Phil for his mind, either.....
"it's a safe bet that no one loves Phil for his mind, either....."
And, that's what makes money such a great thing. I can have all the friends I want.
And, that's what makes money such a great thing. I can have all the friends I want.
I guess you WOULD have to pay people to hang around with you.....
I mean that's was once a core conservative value but you guys sold out on that, too.
phony.
po po snoop dawg,
I think the opening shows when it was filmed. And remember that many in the democrat party feel the same way, what real qualifications does Obama have? Senator Casey has served almost as long as he has, brought more to the floor than him and he HAS visited with the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan within the last 2 1/2 years. Yet, would he be qualified to run for president, no, nothing special about him except he only has one eyebrow and he is not ........
Did you even look at the youtube video?
what real qualifications does Obama have?
He's not a republican.
minset of typical lib,
So Casey would be a better candidate?
So Casey would be a better candidate?
There is no "litmus test" for opinions in the DemocratIC Party, PC - retgardless of what you've been told. We don't go around and hunt for "DINOs" the way poor misguided individuals like Rino Hunter try to make the GOP conservatively pure. That's why there are elected Democrats at all levels of government (federal, state, and local) who are both pro-choice and anti-choice, pro-gun and anti-gun, and on both sides of virtually every issue.
Our differences do not divide us - instead, they make us stronger. Which you will see during this November's DemocratIC landslide.
"That's why there are elected Democrats at all levels of government (federal, state, and local) who are both pro-choice and anti-choice, pro-gun and anti-gun, and on both sides of virtually every issue."
There are no democrats at the federal level who support anti-choice. You're just pulling this stuff out of your a$$ just to make being a democrat sound good. But, I don't think being a hypocrit EVER sounds good. So, you have to lie to get people to join your ranks?
No.
All we have to do is point to all the mierable failures, rampant corruption, criminality, moral hypocricy of the GOP and say we aren't them.
And here's a picture of today's typical Republicans. See all the flags? I'm sure they're even wearing their flag lapel pins...
Is that Robert Byrd (front left)? It sure looks like him, I didn't know he was a republican.
You're only showing your ignorance now, Phil. Robert Byrd has not been a member of the Klan for more than 60 years now. He now says that joining the Klan was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. And every time you or someone else on your side brings it up, you simple show how little you have in your arsenal of ideas.
Philib and PC, Just to be sure, I don't give a rats' @ss about your diseased minds and thoughts about Democrats. Instead of being whiny posters, try to think about the subject matter, is Limbaugh correct with his assertion about Obama, yes or no? If yes, don't vote for him. If no, then your minds are getting better. But that is the point here.
Remember November 2006....It will be like a tea party compared to what is going to happen in November 2008 if jerks like Rush keep spewing stupidity. And I'm using Rove math.
"Instead of being whiny posters, try to think about the subject matter, is Limbaugh correct with his assertion about Obama, yes or no?"
Coming from someone who is whining about whiny posters, you sure totally ignored the subject matter, also.
Whether I agree with rush or not is not the subject matter. The subject matter is rush/O'bama. I think O'bama will lose this election cycle because he has no experience and he can't even gain support from the democratic base (blue collar workers). The only real support the guy has is from the fringe groups, which fits perfectly his political stance: far fringe left. Americans would have no problem electing a minority, but not one who is farther left than Stalin.
Bring on the conventions, bring on the debates and bring on the election. As you so very handily demonstrated with your lazy minded allusion to socialism, the right are out of ideas, they lack vigor, creativity, imagination. Those stupid deflections are old hat and only shows you can not counter our vision of the greater good without using wild-eyed smears and distractions.
The truth is most Americans already think like Democrats; that America is at its best when we have effective government, mutual responsibility and broad prosperity.
There are no democrats at the federal level who support anti-choice. You're just pulling this stuff out of your a$$ just to make being a democrat sound good. But, I don't think being a hypocrit EVER sounds good. So, you have to lie to get people to join your ranks?
You forgot about Harry Reid, Phil:
http://www.ontheissues.org/Social/Harry_Reid_Abortion.htm
I don't have to pull anything out of anywhere to make Democrats sound good when compared to RepubliKKKans, Phil. Eight years of the Bush Misadministration and dereliction of duty by six GOP-controlled Congresses are evidence enough of how unworthy Republicans are to hold the public trust.
Your act of calling people liars and hypocrits is getting old, Phil. You've run out of material because you have NOTHING to back up your flimsy arguments. Time for you to log off and go somewhere and read a book.
>>You forgot about Harry Reid, Phil:
That's understandable. He's only the majority leader...
"Your act of calling people liars and hypocrits is getting old, Phil. You've run out of material because you have NOTHING to back up your flimsy arguments. Time for you to log off and go somewhere and read a book."
bugger off. You're just pissed that I am able to confront you hypocrits with a nuetral mind. While you bring nothing except severly skewed thinking. Your Reid link showed he supports abortion, supports making criminals of those who kill unborn humans (except doctors) and supports using these aborted humans as a source of embryonic stem cell research.
Nice try, but YOU are wrong again. He is NOT anti-choice.
It took me a while, but I managed to find a list of current Democratic governors, Senators and Members of Congress who identify themselves as being "pro-life". Proof that once again, on yet another subject, Philib doesn't know what the hell he's talking about:

And like a true liberal, as soon as you lose your arguement, you change the subject. You started out claiming 'anti-choice', now you change the subject to 'pro-life'. Are you expecting me to argue that one, too? Since you've already been proven WRONG on your first subject matter, do you really want to tangle with me again?
"Anti-choice" and "pro-life" are synonomous, Phil - they both describe an opposition to abortion. The subject was not changed, and once again, you lose.
I'll tangle with you any time, phil. It's so easy to show that you have no idea what you're talking about on a wide range of subjects. And if you're a typical conservative, us liberals have nothign to fear going forward to this November's election.
Squeak,
Stephanie Herseth Sandlin is from S.D. Her NARAL ranking is 100% in 2007. Looks like you got it wrong both ways. (It happens.) :-)
For what it's worth, a quick lookup shows that Reid's voting record scored 100% by Naral in 2005. (100% being the best according to NARAL.)
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Senate/senator_ratings-2005.html
I didn't find 2006 ranking but in 2007 Reid again scored 100% by NARAL.
http://www.naral.org/choice-action-center/in-congress/congressional-record-on-choice/nevada.htmlReid's score doesn't sound so pro-life to me.
Got any others?
By the time I posted I see wz listed others. Thanks!
Looking at the NARAL site for the Senators, I see that Pryor scored 100% by NARAL in 2007. Casey scored 65% and Ben Nelson scored 25%.
That means two of WZ's Senators who are supposedly pro life were scored at 100% by NARAL in 2007. One scored 65% and one scored 25%.
I wish I had time to check out all the Congressmen. It would be interesting.
But, I don't think being a hypocrit EVER sounds good.
So why do you think your posts sound good?
He's not a republican.
That alone speaks volumes for his qualifications.
Referring to,
"Yet, would he be qualified to run for president, no, nothing special about him except he only has one eyebrow..."---PC
MARI,
"I do wish Limbaugh would understand this idea and quit his stupid remarks like this one"
That's just it........ he does understand! He knows that, but uses it anyways because it sells to his core dittoheads and makes him his millions!
We know Rush is all bunk, Rush knows he's all bunk, a small percentage of his dittoheads know he's bunk and listen for entertainment purposes, but the majority of Rush's dittoheads actually believe this drivel coming from Rush as if there truth to any of it......
Rush aims for the bottom of the barrel in opinion and has made a fortune doing so!
PC,
If experience is all that matters to you, how do you explain how a lawyer from Illinois with 2 years of experience in the federal government became quite possible the greatest American President in our history? Please come up with your onw talking points. I come here to see some originality. All you give is the same sh!t we can hear on Hannity or Limbaugh's show. God you're awful.
So, validation because a Hillary supporter said the same thing? Anyone think Rush's size joke held a double meaning ;)? Shameless.....
Would you morons stop calling it the Democrat party?! Good Lord...you people are sophomoric! Not that there aren't simpletons on the Democratic side, mind you...but you neo-nutbags really take the cake.
And as for Rush....this is great news for him. A Dem in the White House buys him 8 more years of his mindless programming. Gee, now we can have 8 more years of Rush making fun of people with disabilities...and now...ethnic groups! Way to go ditto-head!
"It's the Democratic Party"
Actually i shall call the democrats however i please, thank you.
And also, "democratic" gives the illusion that the democrat party is more democratic than everyone else.
Actually i shall call the democrats however i please, thank you.
We can't post what we call people like YOU, Finarfin......
Yeah, yeah....... we get it.....
Rush is a racist homophobic lying drug addict!
Tell us something new about Rush?
ps: Thank you MMFA for exposing yet another gem from Rush.
I'm starting to miss those Republicans who were nostalgic for the 1950s, now that we've got these ones who are nostalgic for the 1890s.
But they take care of that nostalgia by putting on their sheets and going to their Klan rallies.
"I'm starting to miss those Republicans who were nostalgic for the 1950s"
Actually i am oft nostaligic for the 1950s, what a grand old time it was!
Well, i think it was certainly a dandy time to be white, and a good time to be white is a good time for me.
And also, the 1950s were a pretty exciting time for blacks too, getting their civil rights and all...
Well, i think it was certainly a dandy time to be white, and a good time to be white is a good time for me.
Gee - how racist of you. Tell me - are you posting this from some Aryan Nation compound in a remote section of Idaho?
And also, the 1950s were a pretty exciting time for blacks too, getting their civil rights and all...
That just smacks of absolute ignorance. Blacks did not "get" their civil rights in the '50s - the process started with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 (ever hear of Rosa Parks?).
Here's another name for you to Google - Emmett Till. Look his name up and learn how "exciting" it was for blacks in the '50s.
(I'm hoping that one of the people I really respect here at MMFA - Miss Pearlene - stops by in this thread and sets you straight. She knows more about Black America during the '50s than any of us, because she lived through it and graces us with the wisdom she picked up along the way.)
" Look his name up and learn how "exciting" it was for blacks in the '50s." + [speaking of Pearlene] "She knows more about Black America during the '50s than any of us, because she lived through it and graces us with the wisdom she picked up along the way."
Perhaps she can say a few words about Sen. Byrd and his record during that time. Democrats and liberals are SO proud of that man!
Perhaps she can say a few words about Sen. Byrd and his record during that time. Democrats and liberals are SO proud of that man!
The Robert Byrd of 15 years ago is far different than the Robert Byrd of today. He was a product of a segregated society who evolved with time and changed is thinking. Something YOU seem to be incapable of doing, Phil.
Tell me - if Robert Byrd was still the racist you claim he is, why did he endorse Barack Obama? Now, go get some new material and stop litterring MMFA with this old crap that's been disproven long ago.
More likely, the only reason McCain has a chance of winning is that he's white.
"Yeah, Rush, because being black has been such a boon to so many presidential candidates." -Archfiend
That was before affirmative action.
In this age bieng black is the best way to get anything!
Fin,
Your racist tripe is getting annoying. How did McCain and Bush get into their post-high school educational opportunities? I assume you oppose that type of favoritism too, right?
That was way back in the glory days of white civilization.
Certainly i oppose any kind of favoritism, yet it certainly is pleasant to be the object of such benevolence.
Fin,
You just get sicker and sicker, don't you?
My favorite part is where he says the guy is doing 'The Lords work" by playing the opening monologue of Rush's show at his little private school. Yikes.
I'm callin' child abuse on him.
That the caller is "indoctrinating" children on Rush's hate and racism is stupid.
What a dysfunctional culture these Republicans have forced on us all.
"I'm callin' child abuse on him." -JJ
Perhaps Child Protective Services could barge into the private school with assault rifles and take away all of the students...
It is brainwashing and you seem to take pride in it.
It doesn't take much to keep a dimwit happy. Finarfin would probably be just as happy looking at a shiny piece of paper as he is spewing his racist drivel. They take the same amount of brain power.
Do the idiots who listen to this dolt really believe this stuff?
The caller seems very concerned for his party, the "Democrat" Party. So concerned he thinks that there should be some sort of Unity Party with a maverick senior citizen at the head of the ticket and his favorite Democrat as VP.
Actually McBush's only chance of winning is that he's white. It didn't work for Hillary and it won't work for him.
Wow where did all the Operation Chaos Agents go??? ProudLib, what happened??? Don't go away mad dawg just go away.
Hahahahahaha
ROFLMAO
There is not a bit of racism in Obama's church or any other part of his life. Your merely asserting insubstantial delusions does not make it so.
There is not a bit of racism in Obama's church or any other part of his life. Your merely asserting insubstantial delusions does not make it so.
There's no racism in Obama's former church, and there's no intelligent thought behins any of Philib's posts.
Rush is absolutely right. One only has to look at the overwhelming number of Black elected officials in Congress and the individual state houses as proof.
He needs to join Pat BuKKKanan and Geraldine "Grand Dragon" Ferraro at the Old Bigots' Home.
More racism from Rush, did he ever learn from his Donovan McNabb statements.
Jeff Christie never learns from his mistakes. And he has so many opportunities to learn, if he'd only take advantage of them....
J,
I think he did learn from that incident and found that some in his demographic thrive on this type of rhetoric.
I think he did learn from that incident and found that some in his demographic thrive on this type of rhetoric.
True. The KKK is chock-full of conservatives and Republicans.....
Senator Byrd is not a Republican.
And he hasn't been a Klan member for more than 60 years, Dave. When are the imbeciles on your side gonna get some new material?
You are assuming they can adjust to "new" information. I have not seen much evidence of that.
That's probably because they never get any new information. The so-called "good conservatives" who listen to Jeff Christie, Sean hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, and all the others hear the same old well-word words and phrases over and over again. It's the old Nazi propaganda ploy - tell a lie often enough, and people begin to think that it's true.
(And before any of you claim that the bit about Robert Byrd and the KKK is true, here's the facts. Robert Byrd joined the KKK in 1942 or 1943 as a young man, because it was expected of anyone seeking public office in West Virginia at that time - the same was true in many other parts of the country. But he dropped out of the Klan shortly afterwards, and now calls his KKK membership one of the biggest mistakes he ever made.)
Maybe Obama gets elected because people like his message. Maybe he gets elected because people like what his plans are, and want to see what he can do.
Experience didn't seem to be an issue with W, why is it such a big deal for Obama? Also, we keep hearing that we want someone who is President, who doesn't have a lot of exposure to "DC Politics", and yet, when we get a person who is just that (like Obama is), all of a sudden, we need someone with a lot of experience.
This whole campaign is making my head spin.
woo-woo,
yes, but didn't most of the votes that Obama took there were 'present' only?
O'bama is half white, that will make him our next WHITE commander in chief.
How racist of you to ignore half his ethnicity. That comment tells us SO much about who you really are, Phil.....
"How racist of you to ignore half his ethnicity."
His better half, right?
His better half, right?
No - they're equal. But I understand why you can't grasp that concept, Finarfin. You seem to have a problem with equality, and with minorities in general....
So you choose to ignore half of Obama's culture? Racist.
Yep.
"when you see your new Black Commander in Chief, you better stand and salute."
I personally will be glad to salute Obama:
Most indeed.
SourceYou conveniently neglected to mention that there are three ways to vote: yes, no, or present. If Obama voted present 3% of the time, wouldn't that lead you to believe that the other 97% of the time, he voted yes or no?
You also conveniently neglected to mention the REASON some senators vote 'present'. It's a symbolic gesture in that the senator might not agree with the specifics of a bill, but support the overall idea of the bill. The world isn't black and white (maybe to you it is) and the words 'yes' and 'no' don't always fit the bill (pardon the pun).
Furthermore, you conveniently neglected to mention that your source is seriously biased against B. Obama.
Three strikes, stupid. You're out.
Yes, and that was the point of my post, I highlighted the number of present votes taken by then state senator Obama in relationship to the total numbers of votes he took strike down PC False claim that Most of his votes were present votes.
You also conveniently neglected to mention the REASON some senators vote 'present'. It's a symbolic gesture in that the senator might not agree with the specifics of a bill, but support the overall idea of the bill.The link also provides explanations for his present votes, explanations I believe any human being capable of reason would not take issue with.
Furthermore, you conveniently neglected to mention that your source is seriously biased against B. Obama.The AP can be quite sketchy sometimes, but it’s not The Weekly Standard or NewsMax. I don’t see the seriously bias language you claim
woo-woo,
yes, but didn't most of the votes that Obama took there were 'present' only?
At least he SHOWED UP, PC - which is more than we can say for Gramps McCAin, who has one of the worst attendance records in the Senate.
Again, the video shows how many feel within his party. He is not qualified, regardless of race, he's a lightweight and a marxist to boot.

A Marxist? That's precious. Do you think he might be a witch or a Redcoat as well? I don't know how you cons manage to stay in character with that retro stuff, you're like those die-hards at the Renaissance Faire walking around saying "Forsooth!" " Me'Lady !"
Marxism, socialism etc. are lazy, worn out distractions used to keep folks from considering the proper role of government. The 'socialist' brand, handed down from on high, is the street level government-hating reactionary's way of conferring legitimacy to the belief that only the disciplined, therefore moral, are prosperous. As if only the lazy are poor. It's unacceptable in this most wealthy society that a person working a full-time job is unable to provide food and shelter for their family.
Conservatives have reframed the common good as socialism. From Blackwater to school vouchers to health insurance. It's their method of shocking the body politic into accepting the radical conservative privatization agenda.
I can't wait til we toss those pernicious dumbclucks out of government.
All right colors of destiny.
If I'm mostly russet potato colored with violet highlights what is my proper position in our society? How bout a trendy mat black with yellow pinstriping?
"The one observation you can make about this whole business, because he proved it. I mean, it's -- the growth of government started like crazy when women got the right to vote"- --R. Limbaugh
I'll assume Mr. Lott is correct regarding the state figures and that there were no other factors unaccounted for such such as WW2 and The Great Depression at the federal level. If true, why might that might be? I would guess it has to with the children they bore, presumably including Mr. Limbaugh's ancestors as well.
That's the funny part, Irony, these clowns thinking they're important to the election, rather than just helping their ignorant audiences to rationalize their bigotry.
It's why I've been trying to catch HANNITY & colmes lately. Hannity runs down his Obama scary list (Rev. Wright, unrepentant terrorist, not proud of America, etc.), then asks his con guest, completely bewildered, why Obama's poll numbers aren't suffering.
The other half of his puppet show, whoever the guest con happens to be, calmly explains that the media is giving Obama a pass or that Obama's supporters are too brainwashed to be affected by the BS.
I really believe they don't understand that their suckers, a group entirely made up of Republo-Zombies who will vote republican as automatically as they breathe, are the only ones stoopid enough to buy their line of crap.

"I'm doing my best to *indoctrinate* the next generation here."
indoctrinate: teach (a person or group) to accept a set of beliefs *uncritically*
Many have said it before - and I'll say it again:
Preachers with churches who want to wield political influence should begin paying taxes.
Remember that Rusty is an addict - not a knock, simply a fact. I applaud him for getting help. But if you understand addiction, then you know that most addicts are emotionally immature. His "analysis" confirms that.
If you listen to Rusty for 30 seconds he sounds like the kid who didn't get picked for dodge-ball and now he's getting his revenge.
Rusty - grow up and call your sponsor.
I have a real hard time believing that this caller is an actual Democrat. It's that Republican -shut up, do what you're told and you will be rewarded- crony mentality that's the dead give away.
Liberals, in general, don't recognize ability based on loyalty. That's what conservatives do, it's who they are.
What is really disturbing is to hear Hillary supporters who adamantly say they will not vote for Obama no matter what and say they will vote for McCain instead. It seems that Hillary and Obama have more in common than Hillary and McCain so why would McCain be their 2nd choice???? I would caution those that say they will vote for McCain over Obama if Hillary is not nominated to think what another conservative on the Supreme Court will mean for womens rights, civil rights, and workers rights for generations to come. The next president may have a opportunity to choose our next justice to the high court, no way do I want McCain to make that choice, so Hillary supporters please rethink your choice!
Hopefully, all this bluster about not voting for Barack is just a scare tactic they're using to move people to Hillary's side. Otherwise, it will be a very ugly four years.
I just spent the weekend with my in-laws and they are BIG Hillary supporters. My father-in-law said he would probably not vote if she was not the nominee. Personally, and knowing him, I think he's just sulking. He often thinks he knows what is best for everyone, but now that the majority of Democratic voters have chosen Obama, he feels slighted.
Oddly enough, he thinks that Obama has been using Republican tactics to cut Hillary off at the knees, that the media has given him a pass on his gaffes, and that Reverend Wright's last press conference was staged so that Obama could more easily disavow him.
I used to respect his opinion, but then he said he thought Con Air was a good movie, so now I just think he's a lunatic.
I'm doing my best to indoctrinate the next generation here.
Wow. That guy's a teacher? And he's got a problem with his 17 year old being and independent. So much for the idea that people should think for themselves.
LIMBAUGH: Well, God bless you.
CALLER: -- I'm doing my best to indoctrinate the next generation here.
Kind of says it all doesn't it?
So, you have to lie to get people to join your ranks?
It worked for Bush in the lead up to the war. Ain't working too well now.
Spending as much time as I do overseas (namely Japan), I recently read an editorial in a daily Japanese newspaper that talked about how the west (the US) is "preachy" with their political correctness and how they try to force it on the rest of the world. The fact that many of you go on a witch hunt every time someone you do not like expresses their opinion is proof of that. To those of you who call themselves journalists, whatever happened to unbiased and objective journalism?
Some people that call themselves Liberals, namely the Democratic party, more resemble the Fascists in WWII Italy by trying to silence any idea they don't agree with. They shouldn't call yourthemselves liberals because they are the furthest thing from it. And those who call themselves Republicans have the same ideas as the Democrats, they are just a little more subtle. They just want to go about it a little more "conservatively".
I challenge you all, have you really objectively looked at Obama and McCain and what they stand for? Why not vote with me this fall as a Libertarian? Go to our website and check out our ideas. You just might broaden your horizons.

Very funny and pitch perfect.
Found this on Rush's website:
RUSH: With Obama we started out, we couldn't talk about his big ears 'cause that made him nervous. We've gone from that to this: Not only can we not mention his ears...
We can't talk about his mother.
We can't talk about his father.
We can't talk about his grandmother unless he does, brings her up as a "typical white person."
We can't talk about his wife, can't talk about his preacher, can't talk about his terrorist friends, can't talk about his voting record, can't talk about his religion.
We can't talk about appeasement.
We can't talk about color; we can't talk about lack of color.
We can't talk about race. We can't talk about bombers and mobsters who are his friends. We can't talk about schooling. We can't talk about his name, "Hussein."
We can't talk about his lack of experience. Can't talk about his income. Can't talk about his flag pin.
This started out we can't call him a liberal.
It started out we just couldn't talk about his ears.
Now we can't say anything about him.
If Rush is correct on these points, I'll add one more. After last night's speech, Barack doesn't want questions about his qualifications to be President and won't question McCain's qualifications. I would be interested in knowing what we can ask him about.
