Limbaugh Lie: "'Minorities' Are The Cause Of Financial Crisis."

First, Limbaugh admits that he's rather see the economy collapse than allow any so-called "socialism." But the main event is his effort to scapegoat "minorities" for the financial crisis. I've got the numbers on black homeownership rates to destroy this pathetic effort.

2. I heard him also state that
Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac where nothing but "reparations". It's as if he's TRYING to incite a dayum race war or something. It's frightening the stuff this bastard says across the airwaves and even more frightening the number of dead brain folk that listen to him.

7. "Race war". Ha.
There would never be a "race war." There might be a class war, but not a race war. I love how Repukes try and push the idea that the "races" are angry with each other. I've never met a minority person who was angry at ALL white people. I've met some that were rightfully pissed off at STUPID white people, or GREEDY white people, or IGNORANT white people, but never anyone who just hated all white people, no exceptions.

I've met plenty of the opposite, though--white people who hate all racial minorities, hands down. If Limpballs wants to talk about racial violence, he needs to start talking to the people who fucking perpetrate it--a.k.a., his devotees.

3. I have to agree with him. Corporate "welfare" and greedy members of this cabal
Edited on Fri Oct-03-08 09:50 AM by Frustratedlady
are responsible. Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater and other friends of Bush/Cheney come to mind.

Just sayin'.

Rush should be put out to pasture. Old goat.

5. This is age old tactic. Why do you thin the Republicans
continuously bring up F. Raines (Freddie and Fannie) and try to
tie Raines around Obama's neck?

6. Rusty Limpdick quote
"... he'd rather see the economy collapse than allow any so-called 'socialism'...."
Careful, Rusty, I don't see you complaining about our socialized police force, our socialized fire departments, or our socialized military. Stupid mofo.

8. He's absolutely right. Assuming that
"rich white Republicans" are now considered a "minority."

9. Did Rush actually say minorities were responsible for the economic crisis?
If those were his words, well, then nazi is an apt label for him, because that is the kind of statements the nazis made about jews in Germany.

10. I had a rational discussion with a Republican one day
about the bail out and the next day he said it was Clinton's fault that we had the problem because Clinton forced
the banks to make loans to poor blacks.

I said I am white and not poor but the last mortgage I got required no documentation (under Bush) whereas when I refinanced the mortgage on my first house (under Clinton) I had to provide all kinds of documentation in spite of the fact that the mortgage was for 1/3 the value of the house.

My experience made no difference to the Republican. I think he believed Rush and not me.
