Did Rush Say His Good-Byes Today?

[MarcATL]

Your ignorance and desperation are not surprising.

The people who were Democrats then, all fled to the Republican party after the Civil Rights movement.

Hence we have what we have now. An almost 90 percent all white party.

The Democrats court blacks and all other races and ethnicities. The Republicans appeal to whites.

Rush made things worse by continously appealing to their base instincts and stoking white fear and grievance.

Few will be saddened when he leaves this mortal coil.

im2 stupid is a huge HYPOCRITE! Guys even admitted he married A WHITE WOMAN and had a half breed kid with a WHITE WOMAN! AND HES DIVORCED! LMFAO!

I think the fact that he married a white woman proves that he's not racist. Proves his capacity to love people of all stripes.

Interesting that you took away such a negative connotation.

So the "Parties switched sides" when LBJ (democrat) held up Ike's Civil Rights Bill which he called 'the ****** Bill"

Is that what you're saying?

"Lyndon Johnson said the word "******" a lot.

In Senate cloakrooms and staff meetings, Johnson was practically a connoisseur of the word. According to Johnson biographer Robert Caro, Johnson would calibrate his pronunciations by region, using "nigra" with some southern legislators and "negra" with others. Discussing civil rights legislation with men like Mississippi Democrat James Eastland, who committed most of his life to defending white supremacy, he'd simply call it "the ****** bill."

Then in 1957, Johnson would help get the "****** bill" passed, known to most as the Civil Rights Act of 1957. With the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the segregationists would go to their graves knowing the cause they'd given their lives to had been betrayed, Frank Underwood style, by a man they believed to be one of their own. When Caro asked segregationist Georgia Democrat Herman Talmadge how he felt when Johnson, signing the Civil Rights Act, said "we shall overcome," Talmadge said "sick.""

Lyndon Johnson was a civil rights hero. But also a racist.

Scores of desperate Democrats have tried beating that drum but NONE has been able to show a list of those moving to the Republicans. Nothing. Never a single reliable source and working link supporting your phony allegation.

Yep, Democrats pander to blacks and other races and then pigeon hole them and then make impossible promises tailored to each group.

Republicans, as demonstrated by the great President Donald Trump treat everyone alike and, as a result, greatly benefit everyone. Undeniable proof of that is the economic results produced by Trump's policies. Record low unemployment, including for blacks and other minorities, increases primarily to low and middle-income workers and a record narrowing of the income gap.

I listened to him earlier in the week and he's definitely struggling, but refuses to give up or give in.

Snake Savage continues to mock him !!
Called him a fake conservative on many shows and called him pathetic for bringing his illness on the air . What a total dbag

ALL RISE!

The Honorable IM2 will present tonights lesson.

The title:

REPUBLICANS AND BLACK FOLKS- A Re post.

The Democratic party was formed in 1828. Slavery was made legal in the United States in 1640. Slavery was the law for 188 years before the democratic party existed. It takes a simple mind to conclude that since the democrats were for slavery in the 1860s that they are the party of racists in 2018. At this time, meaning right now, there are whites in America who have chosen to ignore the last 150 years of history. When trying to discuss race with a “conservative” white republican, you are almost guaranteed to hear the lecture on why blacks should be republicans today because Abraham Lincoln was a republican and he freed the slaves. Forgotten in this revised history was the fact Lincoln did not believe in racial equality.

Let’s end the lie right here. The party of Lincoln wanted to free blacks and in return we were to be moved back to Africa or somewhere in South America. So let’s drop the lie about the republican party and face the fact that republicans were just as racist and now today the republicans party is the racist party while democrats have become more diverse.

While the far right and some black and non white stooges try pushing the slavery ended then Martin Luther King showed up and finally ended racism fairy tale, the fact is that republicans lost blacks because of their actions after slavery. During reconstruction initially it looked like blacks and whites would be able to get beyond slavery as a nation and perhaps unite. But it did not happen because of a republican backlash to black progress called the lily-white movement.

“The lily-white movement was an all-white faction of the Republican Party in the Southern United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It battled and usually defeated the biracial element called the Black-and-tan faction.

During Reconstruction, following the U.S. Civil War, black leaders in Texas and around the country gained increasing influence in the Republican Party by organizing blacks as an important voting bloc. Conservative whites attempted to eliminate this influence and recover white voters who had defected to the Democratic Party. The effort was largely successful in eliminating African-American influence in the Republican Party leading to black voters predominantly migrating to the Democratic Party for much of the 20th century.

The term lily-white movement was coined by Texas Republican leader Norris Wright Cuney, who used the term in an 1888 Republican convention to describe efforts by white conservatives to oust blacks from positions of Texas party leadership and incite riots to divide the party.[1] The term came to be used nationally to describe this ongoing movement as it further developed in the early 20th century,[2] including through the administration of Herbert Hoover. Localized movements began immediately after the war but by the beginning of the 20th century the effort had become national.” “This movement is largely credited with driving blacks out of the Republican party during the early 20th century, setting the stage for their eventual support of the Democrats.”

Michael K. Fauntroy ​

The racism inherent in much of the current republican base allows a failure to understand that blacks are able to think critically and make decisions without white input. We know what republicans have done. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Rutherford Hayes, a republican, ended reconstruction. We had the republican lily white movement to purge blacks from the party. Republicans endorsed separate but equal, every republican administration in the early to mid 1900's broke promises made to blacks, most notably during the Great Mississippi flood, which resulted in massive black casualties, displacement and basically returning southern blacks back to slave status.

The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in the history of the United States. Twenty-seven thousand square miles of the United States was under up to 30 feet of water. More than 200,000 African Americans were displaced from their homes along the Mississippi and had to live for lengthy periods in “relief camps.” Calling them relief camps is overly kind. Blacks got whatever was left. African Americans could not receive supplies without providing the name of a white employer or a voucher from somebody white. Means of evacuation after flooding were given to primarily to whites. Blacks were made to work against their will and were not allowed to leave.

Walter White, then the president of the NAACP visited the Mississippi delta. When he returned to New York he had some very choice words for the conditions he saw that blacks had to endure. “Negroes in hundreds of cases were forced to work at the point of guns on the levees long after it was certain that the levees would break. Conscripted Negro labor did practically all of the hard and dangerous work in fighting the flood. Harrowing as many of these stories are, they are the almost inevitable products of a gigantic catastrophe and are part of the normal picture of the industrial and race situation in certain parts of the South. The greatest and most significant injustice is in the denial to Negroes of the right of free movement and of the privilege of selling their services to the highest bidder. That, if persisted in, would recreate and crystallize a new slavery almost as miserable as the old.” White called the facilities the federal troops used to hold until their employers could claim them concentration camps.

Whites report as well as others caught the attention of Herbert Hoover who was then U.S. Secretary of Commerce. Hoover was responsible for flood relief. In classic racist fashion without white oversight, the report from a black person on the condition they saw other blacks enduring would not be good enough for the whites in charge. So Hoover decided he needed to create a Colored Advisory Committee. This committee was appointed to investigate the NAACP’s complaints. The Colored Advisory Committee was chaired by Tuskegee Institute president Robert Moton, with eleven other people from Tuskegee serving as committee members. Hoover was using black conservatives in hopes that what came from the Booker T Washington side would be less critical and could be used to discredit the drilling the federal government took from the NAACP. Once again, the Washington philosophy failed black Americans in spectacular fashion.

Like Washington, Moton believed that the best way to advance the cause of African Americans was for blacks to prove their worth to whites. He did not fight segregation or challenge white authority. Moton sat on the boards of major philanthropies with the likes of Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller Jr. It is not overstating that Moton held great influence in the America of that period.

After the NAACP roasted the government, Hoover, who was thinking about a presidential run, was told by advisors to find prominent blacks and get them involved in evaluating the condition reported by White in order address the criticism from the NAACP. Such is why Hoover used Moton to Chair the Colored Advisory Committee. I describe this as using because that’s exactly what Hoover did. The Committee goes to investigate the situation in Mississippi. On December 12, 1927, The Colored Advisory Commission sent Hoover a letter with the findings from their investigation. They reported on the conditions they found on arrival and made 13 recommendations to Hoover.

Moton presented the findings of the commission to Hoover and advocated for immediate assistance to those most in need. Hoover asked Moton to not let information contained in the commission report be leaked to the public. Moton did as requested and kept the findings from the public. In return for doing that, Hoover hinted to Moton that if he get elected president, Moton and his people would be part of the Hoover administration. Hoover also implied that as president he would to divide the land of planters bankrupted from the flood into African American-owned farms.

Because of these promises, Moton made sure the Commission did not leak the full story of what they saw and were told by blacks who were suffering mightily in the Mississippi delta. Moton then pumped up the Hoover's candidacy in the African American community. Once he was elected President in 1928, Hoover caught a case of amnesia and forgot about the promises he made to Moton and the black community. To quote Ice Cube, Moton got, “fucked out of his green by a white boy with no Vaseline.” In 1932 Moton ended being accommodating and when he finished, the damage he did to the republican party has lasted to this very day. Moton withdrew his support for Hoover and switched to the Democratic Party. His move created a historic shift as African Americans began to abandon the Republicans Party, the party of Lincoln, the party of the Emancipation Proclamation, and turned to the Democratic Party.

But a few stragglers stayed faithful to the Republican party still after 70 years of the party ignoring blacks and breaking promises. Until 1964. That was when a democrat that signed what amounted to our second Emancipation Proclamation when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. Members of todays republican party spin a disingenuous tale about republican support for the Civil Rights and voting rights act. They tell about a democratic filibuster and will tell us that more democrats opposed these bills than republicans. These things are true. But they only tell part of the story. According to Merriam-Webster the definition of disingenuous is, “lacking in candor: giving a false appearance of simple frankness.” As it pertains to the Civil Rights Act, 153 democrats and 139 republicans voted in favor of the legislation in the house . In the senate, 46 democrats and 27 republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act. In the house, 221 democrats voted for the Voting Rights Act, 112 republicans did. In the senate, 47 democrats voted for the Voting Rights Act, 30 republicans did.

By 1964 there were blacks whose families had been republicans for almost 100 years. Despite loyal black support, Republicans nominated Barry Goldwater for president. Goldwater voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. His nomination was a slap in the face of black people. When we got civil rights, republicans decided that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, turned their backs on us and began letting southern white racists become part of the party. The history of the republican party is one of broken promises to black people.

Love him or hate him, there's no denying Limbaugh's impact on the political landscape in this country...

The problem is, his impact has made things worse.

There used to be a saying, "you are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts."

Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, etc. have blown that away, allowing conservatives to live in their own alternative reality.

This is not a positive development.

 

[JoeB131]

Here's the problem with the rise and fall of Rush Limbaugh.

In the Bush years, he was a breathe of fresh air, bringing up an alternative point of view to not only the liberal media, but also challenging the moderate conservativism of Geo. H. Bush. It came to a head when he endorsed Pat Buchanan, probably fatally wounding Bush's chance for a second term.

During the Clinton years, he had a target rich environment, as the Clintons just couldn't keep out of trouble.

His decline really began in the Bush Jr. Years, where he pretty much endorsed every stupid thing Bush did.

During the Obama Years is when he started imploding, both because he lost ground to even crazier voices on the radio and TV, and because of some of his own missteps. He pretty much discredited himself when he called Sandra Fluke a "Slut" and advertisers wanted nothing to do with him after that.

In the Trump years, his show is a hollow shell of itself. Gone are the parody songs, the humor...

Probably fitting he won't be around for the Biden years.

 

[IM2]

Yeah, a lot of racists have impacted the political landscape.

The only trouble the Clintons got into was Bill and Monica. Rush was running his nmouth and filling the air with false propaganda. Limbaugh has race pimped an entire generation of whites and he is part of the reason we are here at this point.

The Clintons got into more trouble than that. There were the dodgy campaign donations, the FBI files, Whitewater, etc. ...

The Pure fucking hubris of the Clintons trying to foist Hillary on us when the country had quite enough of them is part of the reason we had Trump inflicted on us for four years.
