Kathleen Blanco Hates Black People

[CatWoman]

RUSH: Kathleen Blanco is white, correct? George Bush is white, correct? At least according to the pictures I see. The majority of the residents of New Orleans, black, right? According to the census and the pictures I see, right? Yes. Okay. Hurricane comes. Most of the suffering that we are shown is being incurred by black people in New Orleans who are said to be poor, who are said to be black, and about whom it is said Bush is happy this has happened. Bush doesn't care about black people. Kanye West and the rest of the civil rights leadership echoes this, and why? Well, because Bush is white. Okay. What if I were to say to you, "You know, Kathleen Blanco has been running the state here, she's in her first term. You've had a bunch of white governors throughout the state's history and you've had the population of New Orleans what it is for a long time. And you've had the poverty in New Orleans among that population what it is for a long time.

I think Kathleen Blanco hates black people. I don't think she cares about black people, and I don't think Huey Long cared. I don't think Edwin Edwards cared about black people. You know why? Because he didn't do one damned thing to help them out! He sat there, she sat there, all these people sat there while the black people of New Orleans suffered away in poverty as part of the entitlement state. I must conclude they don't like black people."

"Oh, that's outrageous!" you say.

Well, is it any more outrageous than saying George W. Bush, who is not even in Louisiana, hates black people? They're the ones that had something to do with it. They're the ones promising black people to elevate them out of those circumstances, take them to the mountaintop. That just didn't pull. It must be because they don't like black people, must be because they actually want black people to suffer. Maybe it's because they're racists. Maybe they're racists. Maybe what you have in the case of Kathleen Blanco is really Pieter Botha. Does the name ring a bell, folks? Pieter Botha? He was the leader of South Africa who refused to let Nelson Mandela out of jail. He went to the end of his career trying to uphold apartheid. Yeah. P.W. Botha. Pieter Botha. It looks like we got some apartheid. Louisiana. You got all these white governors; you got poor blacks never getting out of those circumstances -- and, in fact, you don't have even much being done about the rampant crime that was going on down there. We keep hearing that got worse.

Maybe all these white governors in Louisiana didn't want to do anything about the crime because they wanted the black population to kill itself off. Maybe that's really what's going on here. Does this make any more sense to you than what the left is saying about George W. Bush? I told you, Mr. Snerdley, I was going to say something that might get me in heap big doo-doo, but I'm just trying to put an A/B picture for you, A/B, side-by-side comparison. You have white governors; you have black people in New Orleans that are destitute, crime-ridden for years, for generations. Nothing is done about it. Nobody ever said during that, "Maybe those people just don't like the blacks down there. Maybe they just don't like them, and they're not doing much about the crime. It's black-on-black crime. Who cares? So says the governor rather of New Orleans."

Well of course now you're offended by this and you're outraged. "Rush, how dare you say this?"

Is this not exactly what they're saying about George W. Bush? My point is: why is it believable about Bush to some people, yet totally offensive and outrageous when you say this about Kathleen Blanco or Edwin Edwards or Huey Long? Huh? Well, you know the answer to this. I'm just trying to force you to think about this in a different way.

1. Your post is fine. The Mayor also acted like he hated blacks

So they both acted like they hated blacks? One is white and one is black.

[CatWoman]

3. um, that's a transcript from a Rush Limbaugh show.

24. You might want to re-read the post?

Oops.

But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

15. LOL!

Let's hope Rushbo lives long enough to lose everything and hear Dubya say, "You fucked up. You TRUSTED US!"

17. bwahahahahaha!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

5. Why is anyone posting such drivel?

I teach freshman composition - you know, clear communication, organization, logical thinking. I use Rush (as in drug addict high) - anonymously - as the perfect example of what sounds superficially good, but after the slightest analysis is revealed to be egregiously bad. Demagoguery, fallacy after fallacy after fallacy.

Thank you, but Shrub put enough raw sewerage and toxic material in my city. I don't a lying drug addict's Hitlerian logic on the DU site.

[CatWoman]

12. I posted it because someone posted a list on anti Blanco headlines

as listed in Google News.

The headline of this story was one of them.

Hardly a "news" story.

Besides, I thought my fellow DUers would be amused watching this idiot twist like so many pretzels in his defense of Bush.

It's quite riveting.

14. I think it's great you use him liek that. Tried any Ann Coulter at all as

well?

22. Please, I have enough stomach problems as is. :puke:

19. I know it sounds strange but it comes in handy sometimes

for example, when my conservative coworkers repeat such twisted, sick logic, I know which one of their dittomasters commanded them to think that way

6. What Kanye West said came from his heart.

What Limbaugh said came from his ass.

[Drum]

7. I hear you,

but I still think they treat poor people, of any race, with their real and crippling disdain.

In those RW pea-brains of theirs, though, they just assume that color is the deciding factor (I think I mean a linking of their bigotry.)

(Hope I'm not muddying the waters.)

[Drum]

9. That said, though, I don't believe

that you should paint Blanco & Nagin with the same awful brush as reserved for the current WH...with the Bushes, it's Policy.

They only salivate for Saudis

[garthranzz]

18. Nagin is not racist, he's middle class

In New Orleans, middle and upper class Blacks separate themselves from the criminal element and the unemployed - not necessarily the poor Blacks. There are degrees of "Blackness". I don't know Blanco that well, but my impression is she understands the dynamics of New Orleans; her concerns are economic (for the state) and political (for herself), not racial.

8. go, cat

the same rush who blew his gig on NFL sunday by saying the a black quarterback wasn't really that good, he was playing because the NFL wanted to buff (no pun intended)up its image?

i s'pose if anyone has the bona fides to speak about racism, its that lily-livered, chicken-scratching, pickle-picking bloodshot-eyed, hand-shaking, pill-popping, hemerroid-butted,multiply-married, small-dicked caterer of the buffet for the chronically blind and stupid.

wait a minute. i apologize for calling rushes listeners blind. that is unfair to blind people.

whalerider.

[oasis]

16. That's right. Rush hates Donovan McNabb and Mayor Nayger (sp).

:think:

[gumby]

11. Why would some people think Bush doesn't like black people?

Um, maybe the whole "conservative" movement, that Rush and Bush are proud members, is based on racism?

Here's an A/B picture:
Rush and the bottom of a well used outhouse.
They're both full of shit and really, really stinky.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Racism is rampant

in the part of Missouri where Rush grew up.

Just sayin . . .

[TahitiNut]

20. Kanye spoke for the oppressed; Rush speaks for oppressors

Kanye spoke truth out of love for the victims. Rush speaks lies out of hatred for the victims.

:shrug:

23. hehehehe

Mike Malloy is ripping him a new one right now :D

21. It is hard to be coherent and consistent

when your blood volume is 35% Percosets and Vicodin.

Lets check back with Rush after a week of detox.
