Limbaugh: "little black man-child..." Need it decoded?
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 06:26 PM by Jackpine Radical
Maybe I'm dense, maybe I just don't think in this language. But it just hit me after seeing that phrase on this board all day.

What is a 3-letter synonym for "man-child?"

Hint # 1: It begins with a "B"

Ya got it now?

That's right. Rush is using terms that his racist swine listeners decode as "black b__."

1. The kind of child a "baby mama" would produce?
The right have such an obvious repertoire of bigoted invective. They really haven't moved on very far from "some of my best friends are..."

3. No, I got it.
And even without decoding it, it means the same thing. Anyone not fired up by Obama for this election should listen to Rush--that will remind that what to vote for.

4. We need to put bushco, in it's entirety, and all the right wing lying pundits
on a very real survivor type pay per view show. We'd have that deficit paid off in no time.

12. seen the movie "battle royale"?
Bunch of Japanese kids stuck in a gameshow where the winner is the last one alive. Given the RW love of blood and war, I'm sure the RW pundits would love to play with one another.

I'm betting Ann Coulter wins.

5. Rush knows the pedophile story is getting legs so he needs to go racist
big time, as if to say "look over here!"

6. I'm still waiting for the apology for mocking M.J. Fox's Parkinson's disease
That was, what, 2 years ago?

7. When this election is done and we get bored I think it would be fun to
bring this idiot down off his air waves. We can use our research and boycott powers to advantage.

8. Decoding it would mean playing the race card.

10. More than that.
A classic stereotype of racism was of black people as being child-like or otherwise intellectually unprepared and thus requiring the white people to run things.

13. haven't gotten it, but "little black man-child" is bad enough
I don't want to know the 3-letter word.
