      No, it's not. It's part of a legal settlement.

      You're just parroting loons like Steve King and Michelle Bachmann.

      I'm just surprised he's not calling it "rape-arations." The Trogs will love it (when he does).

      Dear Rush,

      They don't just "say" they were discriminated against. The USDA settled with them to avoid losing a lawsuit. These are not the reparations you think they are.

      Oh, and why do you keep calling it the Oval Orifice?

      GFY,

      Imbecile.

        If they were white farmers, Rush would see the whole thing as justifiable because obviously the Big, Bad Government outstepped its bounds. For blacks, it is just reparations. Racism anyone?

          Anytime a black person stands to gain more than ten bucks during any 24-hour period, Rush gets very, very nervous.

      If this is reparations, what were the Bush Tax Cuts?

      Notice Cmdr. Pill Popper neglect to mention how many black farmers were discriminated against who subsequently lost their farms. It's more likely that aspect did not penetrate the racist part of his brain.

        That part of his brain is probably thinking -

        Why bother mentioning the loss of 40 Acres? The farmers got to keep their mule right???

        I was wondering about the difference in numbers ( that Blimpy automatically deems "corruption"), and that's the first thing that came to my mind.

        Is it also possible that the heirs of deceased farmers could claim money ? Or is Rush suddenly in favor of a Death Tax ?

      Wait, I thought Health Care Reform was "reparations". Or was it the stimulus?

      Has there been anything Obama has done in the last two years that Limbaugh hasn't labeled as reparations?

      No, it's called settlement of the Plaintiff's ad danum or alleged damages.

      Maybe if Rush had been more successful in school, he could have gone into the family bid'ness and become a lawyer or a judge or a legislator like everyone else in his family. Then he would have know what this was.

        He might know or might not. The point is he doesn't care, and will say anything to support his corporate masters.

      Well, yes, Rush, they are being paid for past wrongs. Do you have a problem with that?

      Limbaugh Logic:

      1) We're not racists.
      2) Any time something good happens to a black person it's either:
      a) Becuase of Afirmative Action
      b) Reparations / White Guilt
      3) Because: OBVIOUSLY Blacks could NEVER get job (win an election) or win a court case legitimately.
      4) We're not racists.

      Boy it sells to be a racist nowadays. I expect this from Limbaugh but I'm surprised King got away with saying that crap on the floor of the congress. My congress. I need to call my congressman and see if anyone correct the gentleman from klnaville.
