Rush Limbaugh Is A Bigot With Opinions That Are Broadcast Nationally!

Watch the video & please convince me that this is legitimate acceptable political satire!Rush Limbaugh is a despicable bigot who has been given a platform to express his oppressive views of society. When I think of how plantation owners must have acted, he somehow always seems to come to mind. He is a blight on society with his antiquated views. But apparently, he speaks to a large audience of like-minded people. There should be more outrage shown over the statements he has made. They are based on stereotypes & mendacities.
Someone wrote a comment & I don't know who because it said they were "anonymous". First of all, if you want to ridicule my opinion of "Joe The Plumber" you should be going after those who actually make a living based on deception,like Rush Limbaugh. There is nothing malicious or unfounded about what I said. Everyone knows that "Joe The Plumber" is a metaphor. So, let me ask this "anonymous" person!Why don't you want to reveal your identity?I'm not hiding behind a curtain! I hope that you take the time to leave Fox, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, & other paid commentators a message to do more thorough research before they offer their outlooks! Here are some Rush Limbaugh statements we should all be outraged by:
On Colin Powell:
"Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race... OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."

On Donovan McNabb : "Limbaugh said on Thursday he stepped down late Wednesday from the show "Sunday NFL Countdown" to protect the network from the uproar caused by his statement that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed."

These are the kinds of statements that hurt all Americans. When people are divided, they can be conquered. To be worried about the opinions I share on this blog is nonsensical! That is why I call it a commentary because I am not a journalist. I give my take on the issues. Anyone who leaves an anonymous comment is a coward & WILL BE DELETED! Stand up to the racists & bigots of the world who get paid to spread lies & innuendo. Don't concern yourself with an unpaid blogger like me.

McCain Muslim & Christian Supporters Speak Out!

Watch this video because it shows McCain supporters challenging the stupidity of other McCain backers. There are Muslims & Christians defying those McCain supporters who speak negatively of Islam. One Muslim lady is visibly irritated & asserts that their behavior is costing John McCain votes. I think that John McCain should have clarified that there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim. The supporters in this video should be commended for calling out these ignoramuses! This type of crap is intolerable!

John McCain's Ancestors Owned Slaves Who Retained The McCain Surname! Read How Famous Blues Guitarist Mississippi John Hurt Is Connected To McCain!

Sen. John McCain's ancestors were cotton barons who possessed slaves in Mississippi.He knew that they fought in the Civil War. He claimed to have just found out they owned blacks when it was revealed to him by www.salon.com in 2000. Here is an excerpt with the link to that article:

"McCain added at that time: "Personally, I see the battle flag as a symbol of heritage. I have ancestors who have fought for the Confederacy, none of whom owned slaves. I believe they fought honorably."

Mark Salter, McCain's Senate chief of staff and co-author of "Faith of My Fathers," said Tuesday that no one in McCain's family had ever told him that his ancestors had owned slaves. Salter said that McCain simply assumed his family would have shared such information."(END QUOTE)

How could he have known that his ancestors fought for the confederacy without becoming familiar with the fact that they owned slaves? I mean, the story was well-known throughout the rest of the family. Here is another excerpt:

"The writer Elizabeth Spencer, a cousin to John McCain, does mention the family's slaves in her family memoir, "Landscapes of the Heart," -- a book McCain and his co-author Slater both say they have read, though they say not closely enough to have caught her glancing references to the family's slaves."

Mississippi John Hurt is connected to this story as well. He is a very famous blues singer & guitarist that was born in the late part of the nineteenth century. This is his connection to John McCain & McCain's reaction which I took from the same article:

"Tracing the genealogies of slaves is often easy, because slaves frequently adopted the surnames of their owners. In 1876, for example, a Mary J. McCain married Isham Hurt. The two had a son, blues guitarist "Mississippi" John Hurt, in 1892 on Teoc, the plantation community where the McCains owned 2,000 acres.

"Is that right?" McCain asked, after considering his possible connection to the famous bluesman, who died in 1966. "That's fascinating," he said." (END QUOTE)

There is an article about the black McCains in the Wall Street Journal. It tells the tale of a family that rose to prominence & fought for civil rights. America has definitely evolved from the days of slavery. This is a great & interesting read. Here is the link :

The fact that he has not renounced the Confederate flag,given his Southern roots,is one of the main reasons I could never consider voting for him! That flag is an offensive reminder of a past that african-americans are still grappling with to this very day. Mississippi is one of the most racist states in the United States. My father is from Greenwood & he never goes back to visit relatives. The pain of the lynchings & hatred shown by whites toward blacks are memories that he wants to suppress. To most black people,the Confederate flag represents oppression and it will forever be tied to slavery. He proclaimed that his family never owned slaves. Will he come out against the Confederate flag since his family did own blacks after all? Everyone's talking about Reverend Jeremiah Wright's association with Barack Obama as proof that Obama is racist. Well, shouldn't John McCain renounce the Confederate flag as a racist symbol? I know that he won't. He is a true son of the south .
