Limbaugh proves once again what a racist d*ck he is.
as he attacks Obama for helping Haiti. And Pat Robertson proves that he is just a demon seed that should be planted some where other than on the tv.

"On his radio show on Jan. 13, Limbaugh vented to listeners that Obama – who was on winter holiday in Hawaii when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried but failed to bring down a U.S. airliner – took three days to address the nation on that subject. In contrast, and much to Limbaugh's ire, the president's remarks on the devastation in Haiti came just one day following the tragedy there.

In the same program, Limbaugh suggested that Obama was happy for the quake in Haiti, as his administration will "use this to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community, in the ... the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made to order for them."

Limbaugh was not the only conservative media personality to offer his spin on the events in Haiti. Television evangelist Pat Robertson also analyzed possible meaning to be found amid the rubble of Port-au-Prince. On "The 700 Club," Robertson laid historical blame at the feet of the Haitian people, stating, "They were under the heel of the French ... and they got together and swore a pact with the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you'll get us free from the French.' "

I don't know what we are suppose to post here but I want us to start posting some things from the news where we don't have to go to the other bogs to discuss the latest thing out there. I know this is not the news but you know what I mean.

1. I knew that racist ass would have something ignorant to say.
This is news.....I wish like minded people would post everything here for rational discussion! Even if we disagree, there is a level of mutual respect and understanding not found in other forums.

4. Yes you can always count on limp basket to say the lowest thing possible.
He use to talk about Dominican Republic endlessly. They were the lowest people on the earth according to him. I would try to tell people that what he was saying was not true and they would argue it was because there was an ounce of truth in a ton of his words. I just gave up and learned to hate the man beyond measure and not like/respect the people too much.

Now he vacations in DR and has turned all his racist thoughts on others. Not that he probably doesn't still hate Dominicans. But the Haitians are perhaps darker due to their desire to remain of pure African descent and to be proud of their heritage, so that gives them a link with Obama's African roots, and that gives him a ready target. Oh, and I'll just bet Obama was so happy to have another disaster to take charge of in these times of disaster overload.

Referring to Limbaugh's attitude toward Haiti:




Obama = Bush

I gotta stay away from here. It's not doing my blood pressure any good.

3. The irony - that poster hates the government
I would say about half the DUers from the Gulf expressed the "government get out of the way" attitude and that poster is one of those types. He also loves his HSA and every other Republican policy. Regularly disrupts but does it in such a fringe way that he slides under the radar. That post is outrageous.

5. It is not doing my heart any good either.
Especially since I am a DU addict. ;)

I had not seen it before I came upon your link, but I went and replied to his post. I don't know how well I handled it but you can find it there. I don't think I can link to it. I am so unsure of the rules on that. But I copied the post below.

"Most of us here are Americans and I doubt that many of
us look at you the way limbaugh or robertson spoke of the Haitians today. You know what, I have not known many people from Louisiana but I have known Dominicans and Haitians. Have liked most of them, but not all of them, after all they are just people like you and me. I have also met Barack Obama and if you think his response would be anything like bush's was to Katrina, you need to think again. He showed concern to individuals and to groups in Illinois. I can't put into words how angry your post has made me so I will just wish you a good day and good luck."

:shrug:

7. If it's against the rules to link to another thread,
Edited on Thu Jan-14-10 01:46 AM by TicketyBoo
I've forgotten that rule. Guess I'd better go back and look at the rules again. I've read them several times, but it's easy to forget.

If it's against the rules here, it's the only board I've joined where that is a rule, so I apologize if I've done something I shouldn't have done.

Edit: I don't believe it's against the rules to link to another post on DU:

8. Who knows since some of the rules are forgotten by so many.
Edited on Thu Jan-14-10 02:19 AM by rebel with a cause
wink, wink...:rofl:

Okay, this may be it. It is a special rule for group forums. I know several people here have discussed it. :shrug:

"Do not use the DU Groups to "rally the troops" to go participate in discussion threads elsewhere on our website, or to likewise encourage members to vote in polls or recommend threads or alert on posts."

10. What bullshit.
I'm so sick of the Obama = Bush talking point.

Jeebus Christ on a crutch, but some people just refuse to open their eyes.

12. That's one reason why I quoted it.
I thought it might be deleted.

I could scarcely believe what I was reading!

As for encouraging anyone else to respond to it, that was not my intent.

13. I never thought you did.
I went back today to check on the post for some reason, I don't even remember now why, and saw it had been deleted. So I posted that it had been, crossing my fingers that I was not breaking any rules, so people would know not to worry about it anymore. It had been taken care of.

And dang it, my response to it disappeared with it. It is not even listed on 'My DU' anymore. :cry: :rofl:

15. Yes I do like this much.
As I posted over there, a man with a Scottish Brogue is sexy and the fact that he is funny, liberal, and doesn't like rush just makes him all the more appealing.

17. I would liked to have seen their reaction to that.
I'll bet they laughed their heads off. At least I hope it was at least a positive reaction.

18. Well, it was something positive to
retort after limpbaugh had everyone shaking their heads and saying "he's crossed the line". Me, "he always crosses the line".

And, didn't McCaskill get elected bc limpbaugh crossed the line with Michael J Fox?

They were glad to hear what the Haitian Ambassador to the US said in reponse to pat robertson, too.

One friend said about limpy.."he's his own reponse..that says it all"..Oh, and then he said "rush crossed the line this time".

We'll see about that. limp is just mad 'cause he couldn't buy into the football team.

21. I hate him ...

I don't use that word much in reference to people, but I use it with him.

I. Hate. Him.

I have a friend, a long-time friend with whom I've been through many trials together, who tries to tell me he isn't so bad. I am sad, very sad, to say I feel this friendship may be ending soon. I cannot call myself a friend of anyone who defends that motherfucker.
