Limbaugh Calls for Return to Segregated Buses

Monday, September 21, 2009

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, talk show host Rush Limbaugh declared on his program last week that the United States needed to return to racially segregated buses. "I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism," he said. "I mean, that's the lesson we're being taught here today. Kid shouldn't have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses."

I heard his show on Wendsday and he didn't mean what you are trying to say he meant and your article doesn't provide a full transcript. It provides only the pieces convienent to your cause along with commentary. Hillarious.

Here's a little quiz, though--can you guess who said this?:

In April 1976, however, a glimpse of his old self shone through when he answered a question about integration issues, blurting out, "I see nothing wrong with ethnic purity being maintained."

"This is stupid. I heard Limbaugh replay that bit. It was satire."

That's fine and dandy, if true, but if you have 12 million listeners (to make up a number) and some large percentage of them don't _understand_ satire, there's a problem. And I will suggest (hardly unique to me) that even "entertainers" have some responsibility when it comes to how their presentations are received. Do you really think that all his listeners, or even most, are thinking, "Oh, how clever of Rush to poke fun at society's foibles!"? Or do you think a large portion are going, "Yeah, get them niggers back on their own goddam buses!" And yes, of course, most of the audience is probably not at either extreme. But using the "It's satire" excuse doesn't work for this show, and it probably doesn't work for some leftwingers too. Do you use that when John Stewart does a _clearly_ satirical piece skewering Sarah Palin, or do you get pissed off that he's bashing a capable, accomplished, voice of the people?

But then, I don't give a shit that Rush is a drug addict either. I am bothered by him because of what I posted above. I think all the name-calling is pointless, though there is the idea that Rush could be deemed a hypocrite regarding drug addiction.

Don't personally like the man, but good for Rush on this one. He was using sarcasm to make a point. The MSM went batshit on the Cracker Barrel incident, but ignores or plays down hate crimes perpetrated against whites. Rush at least brought a case of a hate crime by blacks against whites to the public arena.

The very fact that DR Righties are responding that this is satire is encouraging. If you ever the DR Righties marching in lockstepo with Limbaugh then you should start to worry. It simply hasn't been seen.

Yes, there is a percentage of people out there who might take his words out of context but those are the same ones you always have to worry about. It's not as if Rush is somehow electrifying new legions of mini-Lester Maddoxes with his sweaty schtick.

Give your fellow Americans a little more credit than that.

He was correct. The blacks have no use for the whites and the whites the blacks. get it out in open. racist are alive and well in both communities, just look at obama, oprha, holder, jackson, sharpton for examples of black racist. hide under a bush and call it racial pride but if a white does the same it is racist so it is racist also if a black does it.

and rush was being sarcastic

Mystery, the Onion has clearly stated its mission as a satirical instrument, just as John Stewart has. Rush doesn't _say_ he's doing satire; it's not his raison d'etre; it's one of the tools in his toolbox.

And you know what, I have indeed seen instances of people visiting the Onion (which also, btw, is not a partisan instrument, though you will probably lump it in with leftwing media) and taking stories as fact. Happens fairly frequently. If they were perpetuating stereotypes and fomenting anger rather than rational discourse (not only what Rush does, but he clearly does some of that), I'd be down on them too.

MrFair, I'm fully relaxed. I seldom get truly worked up on DR. It's a website, man.

But I have seen enough of people citing Rush to believe that it's as I say. I am NOT saying all his listeners are stupid dupes. Never said that. I'm saying it's an issue. And that the "it's satire" excuse isn't enough. That's all.

Limbaugh knows what his audience wants and he gives it to them regularly. On the evidence of these quotes he believes it himself too.

"I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray. We miss you, James. Godspeed."

"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."

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

There are plenty of other quotes from him about Jesse Jackson, South Africa, Darfur, Donovan McNabb etc but why bother with them? He is what he is. His audience is what it is.

The only significant thing about him is that the GOP has allowed him to become its de facto leader. It's the right that Limbaugh owns not the left as Washboard(#5) thinks.

A car antenna is lethal by itself anywhere, anytime. However battery cables must be hooked to a battery and the other ends to a pair of testicles in order to be effective. Always remember...red positive, black negative.

When Limbaugh replayed it, he was mocking liberals for having no sense of humor. When he suggested busing, his voice was dripping with contempt for the idea. How much more can the man do?

I was lucky to catch the, "Barack, The Magic Negro," parody he did in response to Al Sharpton's remark and I found it hilarious. Same with Barney Frank and, The Banking Queen."

The headline is just written to make people get all angry and argue. He clearly wasn't really calling for segregation. He was just being shocking because he's on TV.

He's not saying anything useful or meaningful, just trying to get his ratings up.

I will admit that, as much as I dislike the man, sometimes he has a funny bit on his show. He does a pretty good Bill Clinton, for example. And I'm a sucker for humor, no matter the source. But on balance, he just stirs up shit for no real reason other than to boost ratings. Fine for him but bad for anyone wanting to actually understand complex issues.

I'd prefer to look for ways for Americans to get along and solve the serious problems facing us, using civil debate to work through conflicts, rather than harping on our differences all day long.

Considering all the racist things Rush has said in the past, one more racist remark isn't going to make any difference on my opinion of rush, whether it is satire or not. When people eventually figure out that Rush is just a cheap shot, loud mouth, uneducated blow hard, that is when their real education begins. It's like switching on a light of reason.

It's not like Liberalistas listen to Rush, and the few who do are masochists who are just trying to be mad when Rush says something they don't like.

In the case of Rush's comments, beyond the satire, the comments are about the latest spate of school bus violence, which no matter what the talking heads say, seems to have been racially incited. With this in mind, when you have people who do not like each other, in a place where these tensions exist, perhaps the school administration should consider segregattion policies, NOT because to the race of the people involved, but because of the actions of the people involved.

It may sound a bit contorted, but they would not be separating the people specifically because they are Black or White, but because when these groups come in contact with each other, fights are produced.

#136 | Posted by JOE at 2009-09-21 03:28 PM | Reply | Flag:

Here, maybe reversing the order of these two paragraphs can help you follow it.

Limbaugh's comments came after a called complained to say that local law enforcement said the attack probably wasn't racially motivated. The incident had been hyped by the conservative Drudge Report, which posted a video of the fracas.

"Police initially said the beating of the white student by two black students appeared to be racially motivated," the Associated Press wrote. "But police on Tuesday backed away from that."

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: "I think the guy's wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that's the lesson we're being taught here today. Kid shouldn't have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama's America."

Can you follow it now?

The "latest spate of school bus violence"?

It's one instance. That hardly makes a "spate of school bus violence".

re: when you have people who do not like each other, in a place where these tensions exist, perhaps the school administration should consider segregattion policies, NOT because to the race of the people involved, but because of the actions of the people involved.

So, your take on Rush's rant is that students should perhaps be segregated by race, but not "because" of race, in "Obama's America".

Anyone who reads this article and actually thinks that Rush Limbaugh advocated segregation is a FUCKING MORON!!!

I actually listened to the show that day unlike the dumbass libtards on this site. Rush was making a joke and saying it was the WHITE KID who was the racist and OBVIOUSLY thinking racist thoughts because Whites are born racists according to an article in a major news magazine. He was saying the black kid beating up the white kid was only defending himself against racism.He was joking in saying that the racist white kid should be segregated from the black kids so the black kids won't be hassled or subject to racism from whites. He was clearly joking and making a political point about how events involving people of different races are portrayed.

Even dumb libtards know that if it was bus full of white kids beating up a black kid and cheering the assailant on, we would have seen this event as clearly a racial hate crime. Instead it was not because the assailants were black and the victim was white so it was all just "bullying."

Once again, as black man myself, I am sick and tired of WHITE LIBERALS crying racism on behalf of blacks. We have our own voices. We are not stupid, listening white liberals? We can speak for ourselves even though you white liberals think we are too stupid to speak for ourselves. Quite using black people as political tools!!! The real racists are white liberals!

Regardless, the torture couldn't have been that bad. He lived for 54 years afterward.

Are buses are segregated and always have been.

I've seen the right side of the lot has the buses that are green. The left side has yellow ones. The center usually has the green ones, but there aren't many of them.

Those that don't work are segregated to the repair shops.

Those who drive them can segregate them to their own houses from the lot itself.

Lots of segregation. I just don't get the point of this issue.

A movie called "The Last Supper" really made me rethink Limbaugh.

For those who never saw it, it was about a group of liberal friends who decide the best way to save the planet is to kill consdrvatives. They kill a child molesting priest and a right wing domestic terrorist, but they have their sights set on a Limbaugh type person the entire movie. They get him over for dinner and they find out he is more liberal than they are, but feels liberal radio is boring so he screws with the righties instead.

If you're going to apply that to Rush's audience then you must apply it to audiences that watch SNL and any other TV programs.

Well, I'm here to tell you that America is filled with drug addicts. I bet you know some personally. The ones who choose to fight their addiction and not use deserve nothing but credit and praise. It is obvious that you have never personally suffered from an addiction or you wouldn't insult people who have them. And please don't try and tell me that your statement was not intended to insult or degrade. People fighting to stay clean are better people than you are.

Clearly, you're not reading what I'm writing. SNL is a _comedy sketch show_. See my comment RE John Stewart and The Onion. Different beasts. Though it is true that lots of people repeat Tina Fey's "I can see Russia from my house" as a Sarah Palin quote.

I'll say it again--Rush L, from what I know, uses humor (not to my taste, but I'll give him that) and satire as _some_ of his tools. He also uses ad hominem attacks, name calling, and probably some logic and actual deconstruction skills. The comedy shows are comedy shows--it's their very purpose and structure. As for listeners, I _never_ said they were _all_ too stupid to get it. I use language much more carefully than that (well, most of the time). And if Air America said similarly dangerous, hateful stuff (and maybe they do--I don't get to hear about it, and they don't have the market share Rush does), I would comment on that, too. SNL and Rush Limbaugh have different sets of responsibilities. Or so I believe. : )

As a black man, I take racism very seriously especially having been the victim of racism on several ocassions. What I do know is that Rush Limbaugh is NOT a racist and NEVER advocated segregation.

Rush never seriously said we should have segregation dumbass. I listened to the show that day. His quotes were taken out of context. He was being SARCASTIC by saying that it was the White kid who was racist and deserved his beating by black kids trying to protect themselves from white racism. He SARCASTICALLY said that there should be segregated buses to protect black kids from racists white kids like the white kid on the bus being beaten and cheered on by black kids.

What is wrong with Democrats these days? They are getting more desperate by the day. Now they have to make up lies to defame people. White liberals just USE blacks as political weapons and don't give a rats ass about any blacks. I bet most of the libtard Dems in Congress don't even associate with anyone black as person friends and probably don't live in neighborhoods where many blacks live. Racism is not a political weapon libtards. If you truly experienced it you would know that.

Great post BROCK:

Limbaugh knows what his audience wants and he gives it to them regularly. On the evidence of these quotes he believes it himself too:

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray. We miss you, James. Godspeed."

"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."

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

There are plenty of other quotes from him about Jesse Jackson, South Africa, Darfur, Donovan McNabb etc but why bother with them? He is what he is. His audience is what it is.

The only significant thing about him is that the GOP has allowed him to become its de facto leader. It's the right that Limbaugh owns not the left as Washboard(#5) thinks.

You are correct--Rush was being SARCASTIC by saying that it was the White kid who was racist and deserved his beating by black kids trying to protect themselves from white racism. His sarcasm was meant to illustrate that it was the black kids who were racist and were beating the white kid because they were racists. He knows he couldn't SAY that, so he hid it with his sarcasm. What do YOU think he was tryng to say?

You are also correect when you say--He SARCASTICALLY said that there should be segregated buses to protect black kids from racists white kids like the white kid on the bus being beaten and cheered on by black kids.

What he MEANT by his sarcasm is that there should be segregated buses to protect white kids from racist black kids. He knows he couldn't SAY that, so he hid it with his sarcasm. What do YOU think he was tryng to say?

He used his sarcasm to hide what he really wanted to say. There was no racism on that bus--but Rush saw racism, and he pointed out that blacks and whites should have segregated buses to protect them from attacks as seen on that bus. THAT was the meaning of his sarcasm.

What do I mean by that?

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

It is obvious I dont like Rush? Cause I state a simple fact?

Fact is I dont listen to him. I find his brand of radio unlistenable. Boring, infuriating and annoying. I find his affectation most distracting.

Sorry I just dont get his appeal.

But the Fact is that he is a drug addict.

Take it for what it is.

Funny to compare HIS thoughts on drug addicts and him being a drug addict, but I digress.

Oh and BTW, taking drugs alters the brain chemistry either short term, long term or permanently based on the drug, dosage and length of time on the drug. Since cognitive ability is based on brain chemistry it is logical to assume that being drug addicted would effect one's cognitive ability, either when he was on the drug or longer term.

But of course

Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict.

So Rush sees racism and says the blacks were displaying a lack of racism by attacking a white kid? You really are as stupid as your posts indicate.

Here is an example of SARCASM and what the person is saying.

SARCASTICALLY Obama is the greatest President the United States has ever known.

SARCASTICALLY I can't think of anything I would rather do than spend an evening with you.

What the speaker meant I would rather do anything than spend an evening with you.

RUSH SARCASTICALLYWe know that white students are destroying civility on buses, white students destroying civility in classrooms all over America,

What the speaker meantWe know that black students are destroying civility on buses, black students destroying civility in classrooms all over America,

You and the leftist, wannabe communist, lying yellow-dogs of politics can't understand sarcasm, though, unless you are spouting it like the race baiting verminous mob of liars you are ...

It is you in your ignorance and hatred for other Americans that keeps you from understanding sarcasm.

"How about a "for instance" where libs call a conservative a racist when there was no racism involved?"

This site is an *EXAMPLE* of the effort to revile and dehumanize the rightwing as racists ...

Linguistic alert! There's no such thing as "reverse racism." There's just racism. It goes in all directions. There's no reverse.

It may seem silly, but words matter. "Reverse racism," in this context, would imply that whites own racism, and would therefore argue against the very point the poster is trying to make.

So there. : )

I comprehend the written word very well. You simply have poor writing skills. If you are referring to Rush not saying we should have segregated buses, you are mistaken. His whole tirade was a hate filled rant against blacks. How about you refer to my #219 post and see if you can respond with some intelligence. I'm especially interested in your response to #4.

Since it seems that most people here want to imply Rush was being sarcastic while insinuating racial biases towards minorities.

Let's say for the sake of argument Keith Olberman (?) insinuated that Marines deserved whatever happens to them in Iraq because they are mostly evangelical republicans and they supported Bush and the war?

Now think about that for a moment.

Rush is simply trying to keep up with that wacky Mormon Glenn Beck and his magical underwear...

Has anybody referenced the Newsweek article that spawned this schtick? www.newsweek.com I read it at a doctor's office and was pissed at the premise. It was unbelievable to think anybody could take the cover story seriously. Read it and look again at Rush's statement. At least his was satire; Newsweek was dead serious (and dead wrong). The most telling line of the story to me is: If "black pride" is good for African-American children, where does that leave white children? It's horrifying to imagine kids being "proud to be white." This article is not a study about race, it is a practice in soical engineering.

Basic difference: White kids haven't been made, for generations, to feel that they are less than kids of other races. Far from it. I can agree that black pride goes too far, but I think many of you either don't get the point or willfully don't see it.

I'm not commenting on Rush here, just on the differences between white pride and black pride.

(And I think the idea of having pride for what one simply is, is ridiculous. Pride should be for actions or achievements. But I can still see the point.)

"So, your take on Rush's rant is that students should perhaps be segregated by race, but not "because" of race, in "Obama's America"."

Basically. Separate one group of losers from the other group of losers because they can't get along and like to bash each other's heads in ... not because of the skin color of either group of losers.

It used to be that schools used to dole out discipline, and when they did, they didn't take skin color into the equation.

Because we can't beat the snot out of kids anymore, like they could do when I was a kid (I'm 41) ... oh wait, did I type that with my *outside* voice? ...

Basically I'm right though! With the teen culture getting so violent that you hear about school shootings every other month or so, and with school districts bowing to people who say DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON MY CHILD!!! No wonder one group of malcontents can beat the Hell out of another group of malcontents. The only good thing was that the idiots involved will be charged with criminal charges.

John, I was hoping for a serious conversation. If you are serious about the problem being we can't beat the children, then we have nowhere to go. I think the problem has much more to do with parents who don't support schools (which I hope is what you were getting at and the rest was a joke) and who don't hold their own children accountable but want teachers and schools to take care of problems for them. My take is that there's been a societal shift. Schools get even less respect than they used to.

Oh, and I'm your age, but I never saw any serious beatings when I was in school, and I would have been quite upset--as in angry and asking my folks about recourse, not crying or acting out. I did see some teachers kick garbage cans, grab, and scream.

Beating children isn't the answer. You can't beat politeness and consideration for others into someone. The answer comes from parents, and too often the parents attitude is reflected in their children. Parents don't take the time to interact with their children, being content to let them study and watch TV while the parents are in their own separate world. The parents of the children on that school bus who did the beating should be arrested.

Unfortunately, you prove my point. I agree that there are times when a good spanking is necessary, but the point is that the parents have already failed if it gets to that point. They haven't spent the time to explain the situation to the kid.

I would suggest the kid on the bus is due a good spanking from his father. However, the situation on the bus had been going on for sometime. I'm sure the kid made some references as to how he felt about his interaction with others, and his father let it slide--mostly because the father approved of his 'macho" son. Had the father taught the son compassion, and how to deal with others, the incident wouldn't have happened. The kid was obviously strong, intelligent, and a leader. He just wasn't raised with the right guidance---he was mostly raised by his peers, and the majority of kids have the same background.

I am especially critical of parents who say---only I should discipline my child. With that kind of upbringing, the child quickly learns that only their parents can discipline them. That opens a wide door of contempt for abuse to teachers, police, and other adults. I don't think that any adult should be able to discipline any child, but if a student bad mouths a teacher--throws a tantrum--disrupts class, the concept of "we'll tell your Dad" is crap. The other students see what happened, and the disrespect spreads. If the parents were doing their job, the problem wouldn't have happened in the first place. Too often the students with the worst problem have parents who defend them from all outside discipline and fill their heads with religious dogma. The child feels he can do anything, and God is on his side--or will at least forgive him if he comes up with a nice prayer to smooth things over. Since no one can discipline that child, his first brush with reality comes when another adult with a badge takes him to jail.

Sorry Buffalo Bob I can not blame Parents always for their kids failings and failings in discipline. I had good Parents. I rarely got along with My Mother but that was more Me than Her fault. I think it's way too easy just to blame the parents without looking at how they raised their kids. Too many times the Parents are scapegoated in order to rationalize the kids bad behavior. I know Both My parents did the best they knew how with the material that they were given(Me) I can't fault them for much. My Mom did Her best while My Dad went to work to put food on the table and a roof over our heads. I can not in conscience blame them.

Blame them for what? Are you blogging from prison? Have you violated other peoples rights and been a violent individual your whole life? Do you have no regard for the feelings of others.

Everyone has problems that are their own fault, even violent tendencies as discussed in my previous post may be no fault of the parents. But the kid in question who did the beating on that bus, could be a real leader in his community if he had proper parenting in my opinion. As it is, this could be a turning point, leading to a life of misery.

Another form of abuse that is often overlooked is women beating men. Some men won't hit a woman under any circumstances, and some women will beat them. I would be for the same tat being applied in both circumstances.
