Changed My Mind

Nah, decided not to make a post regarding Rush Limbaugh's blatant racism. I'll let Media Matters do it.

From the February 1 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"U.S. blacks -- young U.S. blacks believe in politics, according to a new study. "Many U.S. blacks are as confident" -- and we're talking about the clean ones here, folks, I must stipulate this -- young, clean U.S. blacks -- "believe in politics. Many young U.S. blacks are as confident as their white and Hispanic peers that they can use politics to make things better, but a majority of young blacks feel alienated from today's government." Why would that be? The government's been taking care of them their whole lives. Why would they feel alienated from -- maybe "today's government" means the Bush administration.

  2. Oh my, you can't see the problem with your statement? So, mimicking racist comments means never having to say you are sorry?

    BTW: I read the transcript, he was not. He was off on his own little plantation rant.

    Biden was way off base too, but he does not have a history of racist comments like old gas bag, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, though not my vote.

    btw: How's the family?
