Limbaugh: ‘Some people are just born to be slaves’

[alp227]

In a polemic almost worthy of Ayn Rand herself, radio host Rush Limbaugh explained Friday why equality is impossible and declared that "some people are just born to be slaves."

But that's fine, Limbaugh explained, because "everybody's needed for something."

"There is no equality," Limbaugh said on his radio show. "You cannot guarantee that any two people will end up the same. And you can't legislate it, and you can't make it happen. You can try, under the guise of fairness and so forth, but some people are self-starters, and some people are born lazy. Some people are born victims. Some people are just born to be slaves."

A real-world perspective: How about No Child Left Behind and Obama's phony school reform TRAINING children to be slavish drone workers by eliminating critical thinking, arts, music, sports, and other extracurriculars just to be able to keep on drilling reading, writing, and arithmetic non-stop?

And I wonder if Limbaugh would ever say that wealthy heirs and "trust fund babies" like Paris Hilton are "born lazy" just as he attacks children in the inner city as this passage implies?

1. some young boys are born to be sex slaves

many of them live in poor countries, like the Dominican Republic. I'm not saying anything, Rush, I'm just saying...

[roguevalley]

17. I hope he goes slowly and watches all his stuff rot away even

though he has zillions and can afford the best medical care. he deserves it.

[Angry Dragon]

20. I heard on the golf course awhile ago

that rush's new wife found the rentboy number on his speed dial

but it sounds about right

[Ozymanithrax]

2. No Child left behind, a Bush family legasy. El Rushbo is an El Racistista. n/t

[Ishoutandscream2]

3. Very disgusting

But nothing new for the oxycotin king.

[Jade Fox]

4. The Right gets more and more blatant...

about their true beliefs.

Just today Pam Geller, in the NYT, proudly defines herself as a racist.

Now Limbaugh proclaims without shame a belief shared by Conservatives: Inequality is okay.

[Recursion]

5. Who knew Limbaugh was an Aristotle fan?

Though even Aristotle had the sense of shame to say his "natural slave" idea was only a metaphor.

[rrneck]

6. Some people are just born to be

fat, disgusting, arrogant, lying, pill popping, two faced, media whoring, back stabbing, race baiting, thieving, butt ugly, draft dodging, war mongering, sacks of green monkey shit waste of oxygen sons of bitches.

That's life.

[The Uncola]

7. That a$$hole gives..

.. me more reasons to despise him, every time he opens his sewer of a mouth.

[Arkana]

8. Just like some people are born to be fat, bloated gasbags

who are wrong about everything. Right Rush?

[old mark]

9. That sounds like someone I know.....nt

[Initech]

10. Some people are just born to be piece of shit radio hosts.

[moondust]

11. And I'm sure some people are born to be multimillionaires.

So don't anybody question the scumbag's status or income! It's all predetermined by god or somebody!

Isn't that how it goes, Oxyboy?

[sellitman]

12. I wonder how his advertisers feel about this one?

I never listen to him but I'd like a list of them so I could write them.

Off to Google....

13. Some people just choose to be jackasses. But slavery's not going to be an option here:

we exchanged some hot lead on that question a century and a half ago, and I personally consider the matter settled. Nowadays, we typically arrest would-be slave-traders and slave-drivers and put them on ice a while so they can reconsider

On the other hand, if Mr. Limbaugh and his gang really want to start another shooting match over the topic, enough folk will be ready and willing to return fire, and I don't harbor any doubts regarding the outcome: just tell us what you want on your tombstone, Rush

[rustydog]

14. And some people are born to be 40-million dollar corporate whores

it doesn't make you better than me, corporate whore. conversely, it doesn't make me better than you, you pompous ignorant dumbass.

"Everyone is equal" is not stating that you and I are the same. (THANK FUCKING GOD) Or a hooker and you are the same, or a NASA scientist and a meth-head are the same. What it means is: under the constitution all people in this country (citizen or foreign-born) are assumed equal under the law. It means you cannot tell a black person they cannot order lunch from the WHITE ONLY counter you racist bastard. It means you cannot sick German Shepherd dogs on people asking to be treated like White people, humanely.
And yes, in some nations, people are still born slaves. That does NOT make it right...But I believe the civil war and Abraham Lincoln had the last Goddamn word on slavery in America Rush, and no one in America are born to be slaves any more. No matter how much you wish for it you corporate whore.

15. Neo-feudalism is an ugly thing. n/t

[11 Bravo]

16. And others are born to be lying, repulsive, limp-dick junkies.

[Hannah Bell]

18. he is a horrible, horrible man.

[donheld]

19. Where's the Karma?

[Vickers]

21. And some people are born to be sweaty, bloviating, pill-popping pedophiles. n/t

[chillspike]

22. So Limbaugh admits Capitalism promotes

wage slaves? That to be just a worker for the rest of your life in the free market formula is something unfortunate. He's right.

[Octafish]

23. The Hoods Come Off.

Know your BFEE: Spawn of Wall Street and the Third Reich

Know your BFEE: Like a NAZI

Know your BFEE: Nazis couldn’t win WWII, so they backed Bushes.

Know your BFEE: Eugenics and the NAZIs - The California Connection

A fact curiously missing from American history and any mention of the Warren Commission
