PASWO: Rush Limbaugh remains a big, fat idiot...

[elfs]

Man, you have to admire this comment from Rush Limbaugh, addressing a comment by President Obama:

This is what this regime does. This regime tries to tell us how we are feeling. "This month more Americans woke up, got dressed, and headed to work in an office or factory or storefront?" "Storefront?" "Factory?" These are all Marxist and Leninist terms. So is "worker."

Wow, I guess in Limbaugh's world the only real producers in our economy are "owner", "investor" and "at-will employee."

I like "elitist snob," which is an amusing code phrase for "someone with actual brains instead of a mindless snot like the last guy in office."

Better then when they were calling him "uppity" I suppose.

Has Senator Robert "Sheets" Byrd been using the N word again? To refresh people's minds on who's party the true racist belonged to:

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/jimcrow/stories_org_kkk.html "Dressed in robes and sheets, intended to prevent identification by the occupying federal troops (and supposedly designed to frighten blacks), the Klan quickly became a terrorist organization in service of the Democratic Party and white supremacy. Between 1869 and 1871 its goal was to destroy Congressional Reconstruction by murdering blacks -- and some whites -- who were either active in Republican politics or educating black children."

It's more amazing when the Black Caucus waded on purpose through the Tea Party folks during their anti Obamacare rally in an attempt to cause a scene and failed. Then they couldn't get any racial slurs hurled at them (video/audio crew was with them the entire time, nothing could be heard), they simply made up the accusations not realizing the camera and mike were recording the entire event. Guess they thought since they were black, everyone would believe them and wouldn't bother checking the video/audio recording. They guess wrong.

Quick (multipart) question: How is Robert Byrd's past (and we're talking about his association with the KKK, one which had ended by the early 1950s,... that would be 60 years ago) relevant to:

• Robert Byrd today


• the Democratic Party of today


• President Barak Obama


• President Obama's administration

In short: do you have anything relevant to add to this discussion?

Bush bashing is so over used. Let's say that the previous President had a clue on how the actual, real world, economy runs and what is required when handed a recession while the money producers are over taxed to get the economy going. Unlike the now disgraced Keynesian model which has what, a $1T of borrowed money spent on a promise that the unemployment wouldn't go above 8%. Oh boy, that was an expensive failure unless your claiming the government employee unemployment remains rock solid at 4% while construction based unemployment is at 17% was a massive success in union pay back for their support, none union jobs be damned.

You don't get to point at events that happened over a century ago as relevant, point to events less then a decade as irrelevant, and expect to be taken seriously.
