Quinn stated that unlike welfare recipients, slaves "had to work" for food, housing
SUMMARY: On The War Room with Quinn & Rose, Jim Quinn said: "You know, if you were a slave in the old South, what did you get as a slave? You got free room and board, you got free money, and you got rewarded for having children because that was just, you know, tomorrow's slave. ... Can I ask a question? How's that different from welfare? You get a free house, you get free food, and you get rewarded for having children. Oh, wait a minute, hold on a second. There is a difference: The slave had to work for it."
On the November 6 broadcast of The War Room with Quinn & Rose, co-host Jim Quinn compared "slave[s] in the Old South" to welfare recipients today, stating that the "difference" is that "[t]he slave had to work for" the benefits Quinn said they received. Quinn said: "You know, if you were a slave in the old South, what did you get as a slave? You got free room and board, you got free money, and you got rewarded for having children because that was just, you know, tomorrow's slave. So, you got a free house, you got free money, and you got rewarded for having children. Can I ask a question? How's that different from welfare? You get a free house, you get free food, and you get rewarded for having children. Oh, wait a minute, hold on a second. There is a difference: The slave had to work for it." The show then aired an audio clip of a buzzer sounding and a voice repeating, "Insensitivity!" Quinn then stated: "Ah, the truth stings, does it not?"
Talkers Magazine lists Quinn & Rose on its "Heavy Hundred" list, which it describes as a list of the "100 most important radio talk show hosts in America." According to the show's website, it airs on 18 radio stations and XM Satellite Radio.
From the November 6 broadcast of Clear Channel's The War Room with Quinn & Rose:
QUINN: This is by Frances Rice. You can Google this in HumanEvents.com. Just Google "Frances Rice," a black historian. Frances Rice says, "It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? Well, from its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks." Gee, you'd never know that walking through the hallways of a school today or listening to the media. "And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democratic Party is, as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation, and now, socialism."
You know, I was thinking about this. You know, if you were a slave in the old South, what did you get as a slave? You got free room and board, you got free money, and you got rewarded for having children because that was just, you know, tomorrow's slave. So, you got a free house, you got free money, and you got rewarded for having children. Can I ask a question? How's that different from welfare? You get a free house, you get free food, and you get rewarded for having children. Oh, wait a minute, hold on a second. There is a difference: The slave had to work for it.
[audio clip: buzzer, voice repeating, "Insensitivity!"]
QUINN: Ah, the truth stings, does it not?
Republicans were indeed anti-slavery, but they were hardly pro-civil rights.
Gee. I've just been reminded what the elections of 2006 and 2008 were about: the 1870s.
Free money? Slaves got free money? I don't care what Republicans used to be, today's Republicans are mostly dumb Jack-Holes.
I agree, these two make Savage seem sophisticated.
I love it when these lying sacks of sh*t try to draw a continuum from today's Republican party back to Lincoln's.
Sorry, but it just doesn't work. Remember the racist Dixiecrats, those Southern Democrats who opposed desegregation and Civil Rights for blacks? Where did they live? The South. How does the South vote? Republican.
Is it that hard to connect the dots?
They also forget Goldwater's strong stance against the Civil rights act. And the long running conservative tradition that the government shouldn't dictate such things.
Let's see, what else did slaves get? They got lynched for trying to run away, they got whipped to near death for talkin back to massah, they got beat for not picking cotton fast enough, they got their families broken apart and sold off piecemeal to other plantations, they occasionally got raped by the massah, yeah, that's just like today's welfare.
BTW, why didn't Palin return all those clothes she bought with campaign money?
Sarah Palin left the national stage Wednesday, but the controversy over her role on the ticket flared as aides to John McCain disclosed new details about her expensive wardrobe purchases and revealed that a Republican Party lawyer would be dispatched to Alaska to inventory and retrieve the clothes still in her possession.
Still got a herd-on for Palin do you?
oh, I just take great pleasure in revealing what a lying dingbat she is.
You're going to have a great time with Uhhh-bama in charge then. He can't complete a sentence without saying uhhh five times. Talk about dingbats, he's going to be a classic.
Nah, he's way more articulate than sarduh failin. But rest assured you will get another chance in 2012 to see how incompetant she will become.
I think he ment to hit the "stupidity" sound effect at the end of that. Its an honest mistake!
You know, if you were a water carrying radio wingnut in the old Rightwing attack machine, what did you get as a slave? You got free airtime, you got free money, and you got rewarded for spewing ignorance and disgusting filth because that was just, you know, talking point nonsense. ... Can I ask a question? "What can you give in exchange for your soul?"
Reducing his gibberish down to the main point, is it...
Poor people today have it better than slaves did, and he's very angry about that?
Of course they are! Don't you realize, Col? They hate welfare, so in their twisted world welfare should be some vile, insulting, demeaning humiliating experience - because in their world, anyone who has to suffer that kind of humiliation will never want to go back on it again and will do everything in their power to avoid it at all costs.
The only problem with that concept is people really can't control the job market or the cost of living, and reichwingers have this nasty problem of looking down on someone who went on welfare and then have another nasty problem of never forgiving regardless of what the welfare recipient did with his life post welfare. It's just lifelong derision for the reichpublikkkans.
right, just like x welfare recipient Joe ye ole Plumber. but he's kind of different 'cause he paid into the system...
well that and he's a white guy.
... as are most people on welfare.
Fox news is already throwing black people under the bus, so to say. Watch them here mocking a black mans response to the Obama victory:

"Quinn stated that unlike welfare recipients, slaves "had to work" for food, housing"
I state that unlike slaves, welfare recipients are not pieces of property to be bought and sold.
You stay classy, concervatives!
Conservatives* too, obviously.
Wow, you reichpublikkkans are soooo classy! Burning Obama signs in a bonfire and hanging a noose from a tree! You go mulletheads!
After Obama's win, a noose is hung in Texas
By David Neiwert Thursday Nov 06, 2008 2:01pmCNN's Rick Sanchez has the story. From AP:
The student paper at Baylor, The Lariat, has more:
the world's largest Baptist university...
Praise the Lord.
well, it was the same place that the vid link I posted, "perfect college sinners" came from. May have to dig that one up again, the sexual hypocracy was quite - surprising...
Yep, that ranks right up there in class with the jerk in CA that hung the effigy of Palin around Halloween time. There are jerks in the world (and in the US), Snoop and they ain't all from one party, one religious faction, one demographic, etc. Being a jerk crosses all peoples, all ages.
While that's a true statement Oscar, I think it important to point out that for every Palin effigy hung (count of 1 so far) I've found dang near 10 Obama nooses. It's that age old quantity question, my friend.
No snoop, when it comes to spreading the hate around the right are socialists. They think left and right traffic in extremism equally. When it comes to spreading the wealth around, well that's different. Only the hard working conservatives have earned anything while the lazy undisciplined liberals are out to steal the fruits of the rich man's labor.
The student paper's called The Lariat? Isn't that like a lasso? which is pretty close to a noose? Honest mistake.
How do you kill your chickens Col Sanders? By cutting their heads off or by hanging them?
Lethal injection
I wonder what they did in the racist lands of western Pennsylivania, where they re-elected Murtha. You remember, the same Murtha who called his district 'racist, haters'. What? You got no articles about the racist democrats in Democrat land?? Go figure
I'm not really certain what your point is, but I can tell you that much of Murtha's district is not at all "Democrat land." Although I haven't seen or heard of anything as bad as nooses, I've heard plenty of stuff. In particular, I was poll watching in part of Murtha's district, where I heard Obama referred to as a "coon". Somebody else actually came to Obama's defense by calling him a "mulatto." I didn't really know what to say to that one. The other thing that struck me was the sheer number of confederate flags, which makes absolutely no sense in Pennsylvania.
So, there are probably no articles about that stuff because it's not as inflammatory as hanging nooses and burning effigies. But, although Murtha's phrasing was regrettable, I can't doubt that he was being truthful.
Was I supposed to do a special commentary on your behalf? Cause last time I looked this was about conservatives. I have no use for racist democrats, what few are left are either switching over to the GOP or have been relegated to the dustbins of history.
Hey, I know! Maybe you could try to find some racist dem postings to counter the massive number of republican racists out there! Even a blind squirrel is bound to find a nut in the forest!
"I have no use for racist democrats"
Why are you defending Murtha, then? You say you hate racism, but defend those who promote it (as long as they are democrat). Isn't that a little bit hypocritical?
Of course simply claiming there is a massive number of republican racists makes it true in your world. In mine, sometimes you need to provide proof.
Provide proof? Like you provided proof that Murtha is a racist?
So if in your world you provide proof, when ya gonna start? I've posted darn near 100+ posts of republican racism, you seem to be of the opinion it isn't enough. You haven't posted anything, yet seem to be of the opinion you provided more proof than I ever did. Perhaps you can explain that, cause it sure sounds like you have dyslexia at the very least...
Is it just me or does this clown seem like he's saying "those were the days" about pre-Civil War America?
This kind of talk is going to go along way towards unifying the nation.
A possible R. Williams line. 'Ah yes the good old days when a good flogging got you a good days work."
Well said, MoonbatYouBet!
Well said...Right On!!!

As opposed to the people who owned the salves, sitting around drinking mint julep’s, and themselves not doing a damn thing. That's what they mean when they talk about the good ole days.
To keep sane, think of it as the final roars of old dinosaurs in their death throes. These racists will sound more and more hysterical and ridiculous as their grip continues to weaken. As sunshine is the best disinfectant, perhaps we need to continue to disseminate these rants as widely as possible, and add information on who advertises or otherwise underwrites/funds this type of programming. We need to spend more time getting the sun to shine on the infestation that scurries about under the floorboards. Without a threat of advertiser boycott, without a threat of showcasing the direct association between hate mongerers and whoever bankrolls them, all we do is boost hits and encourage similar programming. Does anyone keep track of this info?
Well, Jim, no. The slaves didn't get free money. And what sort of reward did they get for having children? A pat on the head? And they didn't get free room and board and free clothes if the master didn't feel like it. They could work like animals all day and be beaten to death if the master felt like it. The master was under no obligation to give a slave enough food to eat, shelter from the rain, or clothes to cover them, any more than he had to feed his horse .
They did not have to work 'for it' because they could work and work and work and not be given anything. They were assured nothing.
They had to work, period.
And if a master decided to shoot a slave to test his new rifle, there was no court in all of America that could call it murder--or punish the master with so much as a 50 cent fine for doing so.
Mr. Quinn, you wouldn't last a day as a slave in the South.
If you wanted to continue down the path to right wing lunacy you could say that prisoners get free room and board. And here we're living on the outside like suckers...
Quinn probably thinks that slavery was just part of "trickle-down" economics. But the only trickle down for the slaves were their sweat and blood while the Quinn-types told them how lucky they were to be alive.
Mr. Quinn, I will once again send your nonsense to every sponser you have so they are informed that their money is doing America a disservice. And Radio Rosie, how can your Christianity allow you to sit next to this vile man and accpet what he is saying..remember, it is Quinn AND Rose. Rose, it is about time you denounce Quinn...or is the money and fame too much to give up. And for all reading this, these two read every word posted here but are too cowardly to respond..Go ahead Quinn, give an excuse.
This show is on XM radio channel 158. I suggest people call XM's corporate office. The number can be found here http://www.xmradio.com/about/corporate-information.xmc
I called the main number and asked for the executive complaint group. When you call make sure to mention if you are an XM or Sirius subscriber. The gentleman I talked to couldn't believe what was said. I think he was as offended as I was.
Wow, H.D. from Media Matters, do you have to drink a lot to recover from listening to one of these radio shows ? I don't know how you people do it, my TV, radio, and computer would all be smashed to bits !
But ya gotta read his response to the email I sent to disparage his remarks:
"my point was not to do a redux of the details of slavery. the point was that servitude comes in different forms and can be accomplished by oppression or pandering. sorry if you didn't like the analogy but i sense you are more troubled by the truth it reveals. seven trillion dollars redistributed and more poverty than ever. and an entire community of Americans shackled by the mind formed manacles provided by their so called community leaders that keep them dependent. as for women being raped and dis-respected, i would point you to the collapsed civilization of the inner cities where black families have been, as you say "torn asunder" and young men call women "ho's" while seeking male role models in gangs.
(just for the record, there were slaves who we trusted by plantation owners to leave the property to secure supplies and services in town. they were often rewarded with a small stipend for their efforts. of lessor note were the indentured servants who worked for their passage to the new world plus living expenses)"
emphasis mine. So first I'm not understanding his analogy... then he ends by attempting to reframe and support his analogy.
Priceless.
The radio hate monger cannot possibly believe that what he says is true. He must get paid lots of money to spread evil and figures this is the only way to cash in.
