Rush Limbaugh: “Obama’s America – White Kids Get Beat Up With The Black Kids Cheering”
Rush race baiting again!
RUSH SPEWING HATE;
You put your kids on a school bus you expect safety but in Obama’s America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering ‘yeah, right on, right on, right on.’ Of course everybody said the white kid deserved it he was born a racist, he’s white.
THE FACTS;
STL-A student on a Belleville West High School bus was beaten for his choice of seat, not because he was white, according to a witness and police.
“The incident appears now to be more about a couple of bullies on a bus dictating where people sit,” said Belleville Police Capt. Don Sax, who originally said Monday’s attack may have been racially motivated.
Jimmy Carter makes an asinine racist comment and it’s just Jimmy being Jimmy….Rush says something about race and he’s “spewing hate”, a “racist”….no surprise here as John is showing his jealousy of Rush’s success again.
After listening to the included video, I’m wondering where the “spewing hate” part is? Help John…you seem to know when it is hateful to tell the truth better than I.
Rush makes a great point…one cannot criticize the president on merit, it has to be race that causes one to disagree with the president. So if that is the new standard, whites can no longer criticize blacks then by all means it must be racism when a busload of black kids viciously attack the only white kid.
“Race baiting” Rush. There you go John, Rush has fooled everybody for over 20 years on the radio…he is really just a closet racist who finally has a prominent half black target to let loose years of pent up anger.
You are really a tool!
Bart
I will pray you can see what “Rush” did was wrong on so many levels!
Come on John, point out the “hate” being “spewed”. I really want to know what you and your other leftists consider to be hate.
Is calling Sarah Palin a “giant douche nozzle” hate?
Is it hate to attack a recovering addict as you do every time you think you’re being funny by mentioning Rush and drugs in the same sentence?
Is it hate for Jimmy Carter to refer to Obama as that “black boy”?
Where is the hate in your posted video John…I heard nothing that rises to the level of “hate”.
FYI
Rush Limbaugh hits racial bottom, digs
Gang, some of you are going to crack on me hard for this, but I just took down the post from earlier today about the white kid being beat up on the bus by the black bullies. I used that incident to talk about black male violence and the reaction middle-class whites and blacks have to it, and how we don’t talk about that openly in our culture much. It has since come out that the police officer who initially described the beating as racial has changed his mind. It appears it was just bullies being bullies, which is bad enough, but not as bad as we first thought.
But that’s not why I took down the item and the link to the video. I took it down because now we have Rush Limbaugh blaming Obama for black kids beating up a white kid on a school bus. This is what happens in “Obama’s America,” he said today on his radio show.
How low will these people go? Look, I think it’s important to talk about black male violence, or at least as important as it is to talk about any other important social trend. I don’t think we should be squeamish about discussing it in a responsible and fair-minded way, despite what the politically correct say. But good grief, Limbaugh is up to something wicked. He’s plainly trying to rally white conservatives into thinking that now that we have a black president, blacks are rising up to attack white kids! Christ have mercy, what is wrong with these people?
I won’t have anything to do with it, not even tangentially, which is why I took down the post. I can’t see this as anything other than Limbaugh deliberately trying to whip up racial fear and loathing of the president. This goes far, far beyond tough criticism of Obama. Does that man Limbaugh have any idea what rough beast he’s calling forth?
On his deathbed not too many years ago, a relative of mine confessed to having been part of a white lynch mob in the 1930s, which strung up a black man after he was caught having sex with a white woman. She accused him of rape. The sheriff led the lynch mob. There was no need for a trial; what a black man did to a white woman was considered so horrifying that nobody could wait for a trial and a verdict. After the black man was murdered, the guilt-stricken white woman confessed that the man had been her lover, and she called him a rapist to protect her honor.
None of us ever knew this about my kinsman, until in his dying days, he admitted it because it tortured him. It had been on his heart all his life. I pray that his repentance in the face of eternity helped him find mercy. It unnerved me, though, to think that that kindly old man had once fallen under the sway of race hatred to that degree, a race hatred that was part of the society into which he was born and raised. It still does, because that world seems like a thousand years ago. But it only seems so far away because many people worked too hard — and some even gave their lives — to drive those demons out. And now here is Limbaugh, of Palm Beach, and his ilk, calling them back insouciantly, for political advantage. This is evil.
It’s undeniably true that black males, as a group, are disproportionately responsible for violent crimes today (and blacks are disproportionately victims, too). This is important to talk about. This means something. I hate the kind of political correctness that demands we pretend not to see what we see. But as far as I’m concerned, if the Limbaughs of the world are going to be doing this kind of thing, and trying to blame, with no logical grounds whatsoever, a black president for black-on-white violence, and if they’re going to do this in an increasingly hysterical atmosphere of protest against that black president, I don’t want to talk about these things at all. Now is not the time. With this kind of inflammatory rhetoric, they are quite simply tearing the country apart.
Where do they think this is going to go?

Why can’t you answer the question in your own words John…do you always need somebody else to cover for you?
More hate from Congressman Hank Johnson (D GA)
JOHNSON: If I were a betting man I would say that it instigated more racist sentiment feeling that it’s okay, you don’t have to bury it now, you can bring it out, talk about it fully. And so I guess we’ll probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside intimidating people. And, you know, that’s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked and Congressman Wilson represents it, he’s the face of it.
Bart
You defending Rush on this issue demonstrates your issues with race!
Speaking of hate, why isn’t the vicious beating by the black boys on one white boy considered a ‘hate crime’? If it were the other way around, Jesse, Al and all the rest of the race baiters would be at the high school demanding their pound of white flesh!
John,
I’m asking you a question…why can’t you answer it. Did your liberal source that provided this bogus BS not give you talking points?
What part of Rush’s speech is considered by you to be hateful?
Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?
By David Harsanyi
RCP — C’mon, everyone knows the hullabaloo surrounding President Barack Obama is bigotry in action. The administration’s policy initiatives couldn’t possibly provoke any authentic anger or protest.
Proving this dastardly motive, on the other hand, has been problematic. But there are ways around this dilemma. Unearth some crazy outliers. Create caricatures. Recognize “code” words. Reduce to absurdity.
And presto!
“Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled ‘You lie!’ at a president who didn’t,” declared Maureen Dowd in her Saturday New York Times column. “But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!”
Of course, it’s fair. If inserting a racial epithet into a quote is wrong, I don’t wanna know what’s right. It is, moreover, common knowledge that middle-aged white men are bigots. If there’s a problem with Dowd’s premise, it’s that Wilson likely lacks the intellect to string together more than two words per sentence. He is from South Carolina, after all.
Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post began to sniff out this racism when he heard “tea party” folks “shouting about ‘the Constitution’ and ‘taking our country back.’ Maybe Obama’s health-care plan is an awful idea and his budget is way too big, but how exactly is any of this unconstitutional?”
For argument’s sake, let’s concede that “tea partiers” are collectively misinformed regarding constitutional law. Does logic not then dictate — nay, demand — that they are motivated by racism? Or perhaps demonstrators are devious enough to feign collective ignorance of the Constitution so they can be surreptitious (but not surreptitious enough to fool Kurtz!) racists.
It’s true that things haven’t been going smoothly for Change. And increasingly, we hear that anyone who opposes Obama too vociferously is hampered by the thought of a black man as the president of the United States. Conservatives, it seems, never have opposed a president before.
When right-wing radio talk show hosts and bloggers uncovered the past radicalism of green czar Van Jones, who was tasked with steering billions of dollars toward creating “green jobs,” progressives immediately claimed racism and McCarthyism. The right, apparently, never has gone after an Anglo-Saxon administration member.
Politico reported that Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, chalked up all this anger toward Barack Obama to racial tensions. “As far as African-Americans are concerned,” she claimed, “we think most of it is. And we think it’s very unfortunate. We as African-American people of course are very sensitive to it.”
“We”? Incredibly, Johnson speaks for tens of millions of African-Americans. (”We” Jews haven’t been blessed with that kind of leadership since Moses.)
What’s next? Why are all these misogynists targeting Nancy Pelosi? Why are these homophobes continuing to rail against Barney Frank?
Chuck Schumer? You guessed it: the Jews.
Who dictates what level of anger and dissent is allowable? Who decides what a clandestine racist sign looks like? Maybe someone like MSNBC’s Carlos Watson, who wondered whether “socialism” is really about the nationalization of industry and hyper-regulation of the private market or whether it’s just “becoming the new N-word.”
None of this has anything to do with the left’s paranoid belief that America is an inherently racist nation. It’s just that if you oppose more government dependency and expansion, you might as well be a Confederate infantryman. No, it doesn’t matter what you say, because we know what you really mean.
Is Obama a racist? This writer believes he is…
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/obamas_a_racist.html
Buzz Brockway, a conservative on Peach Pundit summed up his reason for not being interviewed by 11Alive regarding the racism charges by Carter, et al this way:
“For Carter, the legion of other Democrats, and TV anchors at MSNBC to flippantly label opposition to Obama’s policies as fueled by racism is merely an attempt to end the discussion. It’s an attempt to absolve Obama and his allies of the responsibility to defend his increasingly unpopular programs and proposals. In short, crying racism has become the last refuge of scoundrels and I’m not interested in playing those sorts of political games.” Bold added by BB.
John falls into the scoundrel category as someone who wants to attack conservatives as ‘racist’ every time we disagree with his president. Buzz put him in his place on PP after John tried to play the Rush race card there just as he was put in his place on this site….give up yet John?
bb: The recent ACORN video was embarrassing to liberals.
Why can’t you admit that Limbaugh’s race-baiting and some (SOME) of the teabaggers’ racially inappropriate comments/signs are embarrasing to conservatives?
If you did, you’d actually have credibility, instead of just your reputation as a mindless partisan.
Bart
You are losing all credibility on this issue! This is a civil respectful debate.
FROM ME
Buzz,
I agree with you on your post. Yet to many times people stay silent or condone race baiting that is done by the “Rush” element of the party. I realize the Democrats have their issues with the Jessie Jackson side but two wrongs do make a right.
We must start talking at each other to solve problems not use them as way to divide people for money and or political power.
FROM BUZZ
John,
I heard Rush’s show and heard his comments in context. I’m not going to defend every word Rush says because I don’t agree with every word.
He was making a point that since the left-wingers tell us that all criticism of Obama is racist, the reverse must be true that every thing a black person does to a white person must be racist also. He was demonstrating absurdity by being absurd. He does that a lot.
FROM A CONSEVATIVE POSTER
Couldn’t disagree more, Buzz. On this one I think Dreher is right.
http://blog.beliefnet.com/crunchycon/2009/09/rush-limbaugh-hits-racial-bott.html
There are elements of your party who are riding the tiger.
FROM ME
Buzz,
I do respect you but in this case making excuses for what is obviously wrong only gives credence to the racist argument. As you might remember I was very outspoken about the illegal immigration issue years ago. Yet I was very outspoken how wrong it is when the debate became about race and or culture over a policy issue. The racist elements of the immigration reform movement have perverted the cause by making it about race.
I am 100% against Affirmative Action but I would fight for anyone right for equal access no matter race and or religion.
I have policy issue with Obama but I do respect him for what he has accomplished in life with odds against him. Can we not be a country anymore that respects people we may have disagreements over policy?

Rush’s tweak of the day so John will have another “hateful” comment to attack him with tomorrow (after he gets permission from HP/MSNBC):
Liberal “charges of racism are a cover for Obama being a failure.” ooooh, how hateful and you know it is based in racism….ooooh!
Buzz accurately pointed out that you took the quote out of context in another futile attempt by you to attack Rush. He nailed you!
And I’m still waiting for you to point out the racist, hate filled spew in your original post. Buzz is right thus why you can’t point out the hate spewing.
Lefty,
How is Limbaugh “race baiting”?
Tea Party Patriots show up on their own, unorganized grass roots at it’s finest. They do not receive billions from the federal government and have not been represented by Barack Hussein Obama.
You cannot compare Tea Party Patriots to ACORN criminals, but if that’s the best you got, maybe it’s time to give up!
Here is the cover story from Newsweek that prompted Rush to demonstrate absurdity by being absurd (or as some call it, racist):
http://www.newsweek.com/id/214989
According to the story, white kids are born to be racists.
How Neal Boortz protects himself from charges of racism –
The Queen and I went out to dinner last night. The waiter was black, so we tipped 30%. The valet was a white dude. He got a buck.
Bart
You are sick seek help ASAP!
Still waiting John…
bb,
John won’t admit race really does matter until someone in his immediate family is jumped on by a group of non-whites who specifically attacked his family member because they were white. If John ever looked at the crime statistics, he would understand its “open season” on whites by non-whites! But he won’t look at those statistics for some reason?!
From President Obama’s so-called race speech last year:
“This time we want to talk about how the lines in the Emergency Room are filled with whites and blacks and Hispanics who do not have health care; who don’t have the power on their own to overcome the special interests in Washington, but who can take them on if we do it together.”
Joe Wilson proven correct again…seems Obama did want emergency room using, non-insured hispanics to be covered after all.
Former Prez Carter should have rolled the rude card and not the race card….didn’t help his stature with either side…..
Carter overlooks the Al Sharpton, Twanna Brawley fiasco – the race card is always played when a person is wrong because it works in our stupid politically correct society. Get out of jail free card; i.e., O.J.
If there were nothing racist in The Great GOP Leader’s comments, then the story would be “a kid in a green shirt got beaten up a kid in a blue shirt.”
But, no, it has to be “black” and “white,” or there is absolutely no reason to comment whatsoever.
.
I wonder how The Great GOP Leader would have described Eisenhower’s American . . . ?
Eisenhower’s America
If this were a bunch of white kids sitting around laughing and cheering on while 2 white kids beat up a black kid CNN and MSNBC would be playing it non stop with commentary from every black person they could put on tv. The white kids would all be racist just like Rush said. He said that because of the ridiculous newsweek article that says white kids are born racist.. fucking hiliarious.
The leader of the GOP is a black man, and he is attacked by white liberals all the time and no one says a word, including DOR. It isn’t racist when the black guy is conservative.
Nor when the attacks are on his party and politics, as opposed to personal (hello, “birthers!”)
David
Keep up the good fight.
Bart
Love God and you will see the light.
to anyone STUPID enough to belive this had anything to do with “obama’s america” you are the cause of what is wrong with this country. even if rush shitbaugh was correct, what about the 400 years of black kids being raped, slaughtered, shackled, worked to death, beaten, murdered, hung from trees, lied on etc……….. these idiot , bully kids in this video need their little asses whopped and left in jail. yes what they did was beyond wrong, but this is more proof behind x pres. carter saying this is all rooted by race. it is. you are all just mad that a white person has the balls enough to come out and f’in admit it. its funny how racists know their racist, but won’t verbally admit it. or they can talk all this shit on the internet, feed their kids their hateful habits and words at home, but you think they can say that shit out in public or in the workplace..??? HELL NO! grow a pair, if you believe in it then you should be able to say it out loud. you don’t because you know its f’in wrong! we are supposed to respect everyone, i teach my children to love all. we are hispanic and african american mixed. there racists, something to really talk about. for those of you that are white and kind enough to disagree and call limbaugh out, god bless you and thank you for being honest. my children will never be like this, my children are filled with love and know this is wrong. if one white person kills someone and hides her in the wall at college does that mean all white people will do it because this is “limbaughs america” NO. how retarded to even say something like this. im really blown away this time by rush. this is just disgusting to be able to get away with stirring up so much hate. i guess he was right. he would rather see obama fail than america succeed. disgusting! and yet i wish him no harm. because i dont hate white people and im not a racist. i just want people to start looking PAST color. i dont look at someone and start thinking oh they are this color so they must ……….. why do so many of you look at blacks, mexicans, indians, etc.. and think all this bullshit!!!!!!??????????
The very angry lady said: “but this is more proof behind x pres. carter saying this is all rooted by race. it is.”
Matt Towery in today’s Cherokee Tribune had a little more mainstream opinion that while some may, most of the oppostion to Obamacare has nothing to do with race but everything to do with government/debt expansion.
When the left says something outrageous you can count on Rush to jump on it and fan the flames.
Carter’s Atonement
by Matt Towery
ColumnistSeptember 18, 2009
Oh, the irony that former President Jimmy Carter has claimed big headlines by saying that South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson’s “You lie!” outburst against Barack Obama during the president’s speech last week was racially motivated.
………………………………….What’s unfortunate is that Carter now has chosen to flip that race card over and play it for the opposite effect he sought a generation ago. Though no racist himself, Carter now perhaps is seeking atonement for his campaign rhetoric of years past.
But that doesn’t explain why he presumes that those who oppose ObamaCare or other potential government expansion programs are racists.

Well as somewhat of a “conspiracy theorist” I think it’s amazing how the general public can be fed so much fear and hate, from one threat to another, and the only thing that can save us is (drumroll please) the politicians. hehe. Naaa, just like the overblown fear of the A-RABS this is just a useful way to get someone some more money and power.
