RUSH - Genocide of the Indigenous American Peoples is OK because they "all have casinos" now.
I heard this on my way to class on Friday. The car is the only place I can listen to that scat-muncher, because if I listen at home I'm too tempted to take a baseball bat to the radio.

Why do I listen at all? Good question. Sometimes I don't know - but I do live in a very red area, and it's often helpful to know where all the stupid is coming from so I can discount it properly and provide an honest answer when I'm asked "How do you know he's a racist, he's just joking, have you ever listened to him?"

Yes I have. He's a scat-munching racist.




From Media Matters:

Rush to Native Americans: "They all have casinos. What's to complain about?"

Then Rush went back to talking about Ahmadinejad and his supposed agreement with Obama in thinking about Iran. Rush aired an audio clip originally played by MSNBC of Time's editorial board interviewing Ahmadinejad. Naturally, Rush's next subject was Hugo Chavez's speech to the U.N. and his appearance on Larry King Live, which Rush played sound bites from both. What really irked us was Rush's response to what Chavez said on Larry King:

CHAVEZ: I do not deny the Jewish Holocaust. And I condemn it. But in South America, when the Europeans arrived, there were close to 90 million Indians; 200 years later, we only had four million remaining. That was a holocaust. And the Europeans denied this holocaust.

Rush replied:

LIMBAUGH: And what is the -- holocaust? Ninety million Indians? Only 4 million left? They all have casinos. What's to complain about?

Did I mention Rush is a scat-muncher?

1. Rush
needs to put down the narcotics, leave his $15 million mansion and visit an Indian reservation.

Deliberate lies to further brainwash his already brain dead audience.

4. I'm sure he knows better. I'm sure most of them do actually.
They just don't feel the need to hide their racism any longer. Ha ha. So funny.

2. It's not OK
No group in this country has been as truly and deeply f*cked over as the Indians.
I richly enjoy the irony of the fact that they are now enjoying the benefits of stupid white people gambling away their rent money

3. So, he calls Obama "Hitler" and a racist while he makes light of the genocide of native peoples.
Projection, anyone?

10. He may be the only human being on the planet whos death I hope to one day celebrate
Without Rush, Beck, Coulter, Hannity, etc. wouldn't exist in their current forms. Without Rush, Cheney et.al. wouldn't have gotten away with their war of choice.

Rush has brainwashed the masses into buying the bile and garbage of the GOP. All while demonizing those that actually want to change this country for the better. He's no better than your average high school bully.

13. It's killing Pigboy to take a back seat to Glenn Beck.
He will continue to amp up the crazy in an attempt to remain relevant.
