Dem Dems aiming at 2020
By Viciouss 2020-02-11 18:19:13
Have at it. Like I said, decades of attacks on black athletes have given us plenty of fodder. I think there was a time when ESPN inexplicably gave him a job as an analyst and he was out by Week 4 for attacking Donovan McNabb because he was black.
Um, no, he wasn't attacking McNabb for being black. His exact words were, “I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern from the NFL; I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.” In other words, he thought the decision to start McNabb was influenced by him being black, not that McNabb shouldn't start because he was black.
Swing and a miss.
Seriously, this is how it usually goes with these claims of racism. Someone supposedly says something super duper racist, and it ends up only being racist if you assume that the person saying it had ulterior motives. Rush has been on the air for decades, talking upwards of 15 hours a week. Surely you can do better than a handful of statements from way back when that only sound bad out of context. A "raging racist" should be giving you fodder every day.
Nah Rav, his Donovan McNabb example is a home run. We were there when he made the comments and the panel blew up at him, only for him to back down then retreat to his home base on his radio show and continue slamming McNabb, then for ESPN to say "our bad for hiring this guy." He was attacking the NFL, the Eagles, and Donovan McNabb's race. Alleging that he "wasn't that good, they are where they are at because of their defense. He is only there because the NFL needs a black QB to do well." Everyone understood his attacks were rooted in racism. Next year, Eagles are in the SB thanks to McNabb. Great call there Rush.
And thats just one home run example of Limbaugh's treasure trove of racist attacks on black athletes. The Blood and Crips example is another long ball. The TBA is another. I'm just naming those off the top of my head. Like I said, have at it. Look them all up, keep trying to defend Rush Limbaugh's amazing racism. I'm not helping you. This is a stupid hill to die on, but you do you.
Rush Limbaugh will die a racist.

Oh so we want to turn the thread in Limbaugh’s racists hits for the next coup of pages? That’s too easy.
Quote: “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?” -Limbaugh 1990
“Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.” -Limbaugh in the 70’s under his then radio persona Jeff Christie
“Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.” - Limbaugh 1-19-2007
“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.” Limbaugh 1992
Totally not racist, just said racist like things for that conservative talk radio $$$$$

Limbaugh apologized for at least some of those. But you couldn't find one from this decade? Frick, I've got examples from recent months with Leftists calling some of Biden's latest comments racist. The only difference is that you assume Limbaugh is racist so his comments are automatically worse. You assume Biden isn't racist so he gets a pass.

Then why don’t you post them B?
We got 40yrs of Limbaugh ammo. You didn’t say give me some from 2010-2020. Let’s not start moving goal posts because you want spice.
Since the topic is Dems, post your spicy Biden ***. Stop being a tease girl.

Why is that relevant?

Okay, let's go with Biden making racist comments. Again, why is that relevant? Whether or not Biden made racist comments does not give Limbaugh some sort of pass.

I’m basing this on memory, but I do remember an apology for the comment he made in the 70s.

Sure, post your ammo. Just don’t give me the weak crap. If Limbaugh is such a hardcore racist then you can do better.
As for Biden quotes, let me hit my desktop up in about an hour. I’m not posting a ton of links from a phone, it friggin’ sucks.

“Im sorry for the racist things I said 20yrs ago. Not sorry about the racist ***I said 5 minutes ago”.
That’s some Sen. Susan Collins “I think he learned his lesson” level naivety/turning a “blind eye cause he’s my sides boy” mess.
Oh wait. Must be that “satire” I keep hearing about.
He could at least cop out and blame it on is synthetic opioid addiction. Pretty certain that’s the angle Jordan Peterson is working with after coming out with his Benzo addiction.

Well, it seems weird to want to deny Limbaugh a medal for it while simultaneously being chill another racist making a run for the Democrat nomination.

Why? You think Nausi wasn’t a racist.

Hope it’s good. Cause the left wing is aware, their media doesn’t hide ugly truths unlike the number #1 rated Cable News Network.

Because reasons and feelings.
Limbaugh’s racist, Biden’s racialism is racist, Bloomberg racist, Buttigieg questionably racialist, you’re in this thread thus racist. You can get your hood at the counter over there with Vic.
TLDR America is full of racists.

I wasn't expecting an equal distribution of -isms, so I'll give you props for not making it a partisan issue. The only problem I have with this post is the last sentence. If that's the standard of racism, then it extends way beyond America.

On topic, as I expected, the current NH numbers are Bernie, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, with Biden and Warren not earning any delegates. I think Warren's campaign is over and people are going to rally to Klobuchar. She had a great debate performance and did well in Iowa and now NH.

Yeah, Klobuchar is a far superior candidate to Warren, IMO. Wouldn't be sad to see Warren go. I still think Bernie deserves the nod, but something tells me the DNC is going to attempt to pull the rug out from under his feet if he does too well.

Looking like he's (Biden) is toast. Like I was saying the other day. South Carolina is his only hope and even then its already too late.
Klobuchar is definitely the dark horse.
The establishment wants a corporatist/centrist which is Biden, Bloomberg (who shouldn't even be in with such a late entry), and Buttigieg. But I don't see them getting behind Buttigieg unless they're desperate.
Sanders/Klobuchar or vice versa could be an interesting ticket.
So could any of the top 3 with /Yang as a rider.
Though its all a toss up.
By Viciouss 2020-02-11 21:09:55
Buttigieg is closing the gap on bernie with 65% in. Klobuchar has picked up a few tenths of a point as well.
By Viciouss 2020-02-11 22:36:16
Bernie is going to hold on to win NH, as expected. Buttigieg has to be thrilled with his showing, as well as Klobuchar. Yang dropped out. Warren I think will follow him within the next few weeks. But Klobuchar and Buttigieg will be there till the end.

I really shouldn't have to beat the "no personal attack" drum, but here it is.

Those same individuals have been personally attacking me for awhile, even called out by name back on like page 15 and beyond. From what I can gather they do this on a regular basis, I only seem it when someone quotes their posts. As a rule I block people who attack me personally, that has never stopped them from continuing to do so.

Then report it. Find me if needed. That's what gets something done about it.

Hey I mean, I encourage the mods not named Rooks to look into Saevel's allegations, the reasons they happen, his own offenses that bring them on. It won't take long to identify whats going on.

Just pointing out that there is a whole group of people who do that on a regular basis with impunity. I have them all blocked so I don't even see it except times like this when someone else quotes them.
So going forward I'll be even more careful not to have anything that resembles a personal attack.
