Talk-show host Rush Limbaugh is still playing the victim card in his failed attempt to buy a share of the St. Louis Rams. Rather than own up to his past racial comments, he blames his partners’ decision to drop him on the media’s contempt for conservatives (which, apparently, doesn’t extend to all the other NFL owners who are conservatives). Limbaugh wrote in a Wall Street Journal commentary that claims of racism are “being used to try to keep citizens who don’t share the left’s agenda from participating in the full array of opportunities this nation otherwise affords each of us.” He even likened criticism he received to attempts to smear Clarence Thomas when he was nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court. “These intimidation tactics are working and spreading, and they are a cancer on our society,” Limbaugh wrote.

What about an example of one of his ‘racist’ comments.
“What about an example of one of his ‘racist’ comments.”
Real or Made-up???
The casual stabbing to the buttocks of the MSM in Limbaugh’s article has gone largely unnoticed. I wonder if it hurts when Mr. Brownlee sits?
“When Mr. Goodell was asked about me, he suggested that my 2003 comment criticizing the media’s coverage of Donovan McNabb—in which I said the media was cheerleading Mr. McNabb because they wanted a successful black quarterback—fell short of the NFL’s “high standard.” High standard? Half a decade later, the media would behave the same way about the presidential candidacy of Mr. Obama.”

Oh bullsh*t, he said more than that. He said that McNabb was getting recognition that he didn’t deserve because he was black, never mind the fact that the quarterback of successful NFL teams tend to get recognition.
It was a boneheaded comment, and his inability to cop up to it is his problem, no one elses.

Oh c’mon, CONs –
Your feigned ignorance of Limbaugh’s overt racism simply is not credible.
Except, perhaps, for the ignorance part.
CONs have to ignore reality. It’s their only hope.
Another Limbaugh thread? Color me underwhelmed.
The NFL owners, and potential owners, did what they wanted to do. Limbaugh objects. Who cares.
“The casual stabbing to the buttocks of the MSM in Limbaugh’s article has gone largely unnoticed. I wonder if it hurts when Mr. Brownlee sits?”
If only the sort of dittoheads who shout “right on!” when they read editorials in a News Corp publication (although, in fairness, the current WSJ is not as bad as faux news and is not likely to get that bad) think that Limbaugh nailed his critics, he really, really didn’t nail his critics.
I suspect Mr. Brownlee’s buttocks are just fine.
See, Aggie missed it too.
old news, who cares, move on…

“See, Aggie missed it too.”
Self evident to you does not mean self evident.
I missed nothing.
Wrong, try again Aggie.
OK, here it is. Not only was Limbaugh unrepentant at his skewing of the sports media for interpreting his comment as racist, he doubled down and told them they did the same thing for Obama that they did with McNabb.
Of course, Limbaugh was proven wrong in his opinion on McNabb’s abilities. The jury is out on Obama. But if Obama’s the first few minutes (throwing two interceptions and fumbling a snap from center) is any indication…
“Regular” contributes –
“old news, who cares, move on…”
Yeah, you’d like it if everyone ignored the reality of Rush Limbaugh’s overt racism. “Just forget about it. Don’t think about it. Thinking is hard.”
“outlander” goes berserk with –
“…if Obama’s the first few minutes (throwing two interceptions and fumbling a snap from center) is any indication…”
That’s gotta draw a 15-yard penalty for abuse of an analogy.
It begins with “if” and ends with an ellipsis.
You CONs aren’t even trying today.
Real or Made-up???
Real.
“Yeah, you’d like it if everyone ignored the reality of Rush Limbaugh’s overt racism.”
I must have missed your comments on BJ’s racism. Or maybe you just “ignored” it. After all, he is not a “Con” so it is okay for him to be racist.
“He said that McNabb was getting recognition that he didn’t deserve because he was black, never mind the fact that the quarterback of successful NFL teams tend to get recognition.”
So, in your little world if a conservative comments on a liberal’s racism that makes him racist.
Sad, really sad.
I always have to chuckle when a person who has basically won the birth lottery tries to claim the mantle of victim-hood.

You have me confused – confused with someone who gives a flip about this topic.

Oh, yeah.
Your fall-back position when confronted with your absurdities is you’re “…just playing.”
Right?
Didn’t you post that, “Regular?”

Come back with a name-calling response, “Regular.” That’ll help you work toward that perfect world when you can frog-march me into an empty field and put a bullet in my skull.

Uhm, what?
minutelady “contributes”: “So, in your little world if a conservative comments on a liberal’s racism that makes him racist.”
What are you blathering about? Are you claiming that the sports media is “liberal”? (it’s not, by the way, Keith Olbermann to the contrary).
Limbaugh’s comment was that Donovan McNabb was overhyped simply because he was black. Now, last I saw, sans injury, McNabb remains a starting quarterback for one of the more successful franchises in the NFL.
It was a stupid comment. The racism implied in Limbaugh’s comment was that black quarterbacks got special passes from the sports media and the NFL. That comment, as revealed by history then and since then, is utterly false. McNabb was no more or less hyped than the quarterback of any other successful NFL team. And history has proven that the Eagles do better when McNabb is behind center.
And anyone who thinks that liberalism runs rampant among NFL owners is truly blind.
To claim that he has lost out on his potential partnership on the Rams due to LIBERAL media’s (and by extension the NFL’s) contempt for conservatives is simply pathetic. He lives by his mouth, and because he does so, he is open to things that get him into trouble. He wants to blame someone for his troubles, he should start with the mirror.
And the above doesn’t even include his mind blowingly dumb “there, I said it” comment about what watching a NFL game is like.
Did you dittoheads ever wonder why he calls you dittoheads? It’s because if he called you the term he uses behind your backs he’d be fined by the FCC. Here’s a man who comes right out and say his entire purpose is to say anything that will spike his ratings so he can make money, and you keep right on clinging to every word. — D-I-C-K-H-E-A-D-S
Dud,
Okay, how about his request to award a posthumous medal to James Earl Ray, the assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King? You wouldn’t consider that racist? Of course you wouldn’t. You feel the same way and you couldn’t possibly admit to your own racism! You need a long, long look in the mirror.
“Dud,
Okay, how about his request to award a posthumous medal to James Earl Ray, the assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King?”
Wow! He should not of said that. Of course, this is one of the statements someone made-up.
He said enough to talk about without making-up untruths.
Jed: your above statement about Limbaugh and James Earl Ray is one of the “Made Up” statements. He never said such things.
Jed, there is no evidence that the supposed Rush quote about James Earl Ray is authentic. Even though he supposedly said that on his radio program in 1998, the earliest reference to this “quote” was in 2005, and believe me, it would have been noticed. Therefore, the quote is almost certainly bogus and there is no reason for Hud to defend that comment.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/limbaugh.asp
Jed, ya better post your link on Limbaugh’s statement about James Earl Ray… not that it will help open closed minds…
From the article cited at the top: ” My racial views? You mean, my belief in a colorblind society where every individual is treated as a precious human being without regard to his race? Where football players should earn as much as they can and keep as much as they can, regardless of race? Those controversial racial views?”
“You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
Anyone who believes that Limbaugh said that without it causing a major scandal in 1998 (and that those who oppose him wouldn’t even notice that he said that until 2005) seriously needs to take their bullsh*t/baloney detection device in for repair.
That statement would have ended Rush Limbaugh’s career even on Clear Channel.
Agnatha — That’s why I said it needed a link… :-))
“Therefore, the quote is almost certainly bogus and there is no reason for Hud to defend that comment.”
Wow! When did I “defend” that comment?
“Agnatha — That’s why I said it needed a link… :-))”
One last time, read the Snopes link I have now posted TWICE on this thread.
“Wow! When did I ‘defend’ that comment?”
You didn’t, and you shouldn’t.
I was talking to Jed. Read his post, and read my reply, and it should make sense.
“You didn’t, and you shouldn’t.”
Well, except for the response you did post to Jed, which was appropriate.
Juan Williams gets called an “uncle Tom” or “house Negro” for defending Rush.

Ag,
Snopes didn’t refute the quote, it just couldn’t find it on the original 1998 tape, which appears to have an 18 minute gap in it that his secretary accidentally erased while practicing Tai Chi.
Everyone should be concerned when a member of congress and a group from one side can control what business a private citizen can own or buy.
Or no one.
I think Jed and others on the Left have eaten one too many schitt sandwiches.
Today, Rush can’t buy his team, tomorrow it might be you!
Not surprised by this.
Limbaugh should not be allowed to own any part of a Football team. It would destroy the fabric of this nation to allow such freedom.
How could Americans manage to live happy lives if they actually allowed themselves to be really free?
Imagine the terror if we actually Let Freedom Ring?
Nope, don’t let it happen. Please keep freedom in check and make sure that certain people are prohibited from things that a select group of other people decide they should not do. Owning football teams by conservative talk show hosts is a big NO-NO in freedom eschewing America.
And we are better for it because, ya know we are just sooooo free in this country.
Amway,
The other owners were who vetoed his attempt to buy in. They no doubt felt that given his on-air comments about black players and the image he cultures, not to mention his documented abuse of narcotics, he wouldn’t be good for the team.
Imagine the terror if America actually Let Freedom Ring?
Nope don’t let it happen. We must submit to the Politically Correct Police.
Freedom to own a football team by a conservative talk show host is a big NO-NO in Freedom eschewing America. It would just destroy the fabric of this nation to allow such freedom.
To me the Limbaugh thing is over except for what Rush thinks he has to do to the people who would spread slanderous lies about him.
What concerns me most is when the communications director, Anita Dunn, from the White House tells how the Obama camp controls the media. That the press is given their talking points and nothing that is reported could deviate from those talking points. That the Obama group never let anything in the press that wasn’t complimentary to ‘the one’. This is very concerning and is the basis they are using to keep FOX out of the White House.
If a lib here thinks this is bogus you should do some fact searching today. And if it doesn’t scare the krap out of you then you really have traded in your brains for mush.
Sheeple blindly following on.
So going through this thread, the only alledged racist comment was the McNabb thing. And of course that was made BEFORE McNabb had matured and gotten better. Rush’s comment was directed against THE MEDIA, for hyping and hyping on a QB that was VERY mediocre at the time but the MEDIA couldn’t shut up about how wonderful it was that you had a black starting QB.
All this comment was, was Rush calling out the MEDIA on their ooohh, ahhhs and hyping, JUST because McNabb was black and a starting QB.
There was NOTHING racist said ABOUT McNabb. In fact there was NOTHING bad said about McNabb other than Rush pointing out, that at the time he was mediocre at best.
NOW, was Rush a bonehead for thinking that that SAME MEDIA wouldn’t go out of their way to paint him out as a racist? YES HE WAS!
Jed which part of the ‘truths’ you talk about were lies made up by political enemies of Limbaugh?
You believe what you want to believe I guess. Please don’t let truth get in your way.
This is why liberals have lost ground recently. Their lack of character is showing.

They were used in those CIA LSD experiments 40 years or so ago. Jed volenteered to eat a sandwich laced with LSD. He hasn’t been the same since.
“The other owners were who vetoed his attempt to buy in. They no doubt felt that given…..”
the hate and racial card being waived that they would be better to bow down to the Obama and democrats that
risk keeping Rush on.
“Everyone should be concerned when a member of congress and a group from one side can control what business a private citizen can own or buy.”
The NFL is a private business organization. THEY can decide who can buy into the organization, and that is their right.
No one from Congress has “controlled” the vote – which, of course, is months away.
Yes, the NFL can reject ANYONE from ownership.
The NFL is made up of 32 teams that share league revenue equally – it is in their best interest not to alienate fans and players.
Granny,
“That the Obama group never let anything in the press that wasn’t complimentary to ‘the one’…”
Are you insane or just ignorant? The press has been full of uncomplementary stories about “The One.” The only people who control “the media” are the publishers, and currently publishers can be anybody with a website. “Control of the media” is just not possible in this age of internet. Even the most repressive governments have failed to control what gets published, no matter how hard they try.
Back Porch Fergie to Dolphins Approved by Owners
Posted Oct 14, 2009 10:15AM By Michael Katz (RSS feed)
The Miami Dolphins already have a slew of celebrity owners. Only now are the Phins becoming glamorous.
As in, G-L-A-M O-R O-U-S. Glamorous. Glamorous, glamorous. You get the point.
Fergie — female vocalist for the Black Eyed Peas — is set to become the franchise’s latest celebrity part-owner. It’s music to the ears of the legions of hip pop/dance fans — a genre I just made up — in South Florida.
————
Since it is all about Limbaugh and no one wants to talk about Dunn then we probably look at celebrities the NFL deems acceptable for their high moralistic group.

Listen to the words while see the evidence of a grown woman peeing her pants in a live concert. Very high class. Real NFL material. I could tell.
It is the same thing with president hussein, the MEDIA will paint him as the messiah and ANYONE who goes against him is a racist. Nevermind that he is mediocre at best, the MEDIA thinks we should just oooh and ahhh that we have a black president.
It kind of reminds me of one of the old Bloom County comics.
The television is yelling at Opus the penquin to go out and spend $60.00 for a pair of Jordache jeans.
Opus yells back at the television that he doesn’t WANT to spend $60.00 for a pair of jeans.
And the televison yells back, WANT, WANT what does that have to do with anything? You HAVE to do it because I say so. Didn’t I tell you to vote for Jimmy Carter and you did.
Donnyboy,
“They were used in those CIA LSD experiments 40 years or so ago. Jed volenteered to eat a sandwich laced with LSD. He hasn’t been the same since.”
Believe me, the CIA has never once showed an interest in me, and for good reason. I wouldn’t have been a revealing subject of experiments. And I saw a lot of it but I managed to live through the ’60’s and after without using LSD or any other psychedelics. My mind was expanded by education and life. Try it sometime.
Tsk, tsk, Limbaugh gets thrown out of David Checketts ownership group at Checketts request, and the right wants to talk about Fergie.
NEWSFLASH: The NFL has never made a ruling on Limbaugh or the Checketts proposed bid – the team isn’t even officially for sale.
Dave Checketts forced Limbaugh out, not the NFL. He realized that Rush Pigboy was way too divisive and kicked him off the team
His right.
People have made up racial quotes and attributed them to Limbaugh. Cite exactly when and where you allege he said those things. Everything is recorded now and Limbaugh has plenty of enemies; you should be able to document anything you charge he said. By the way, didn’t we have this topic last week? Looks like the Eagle blog writers are running out of ideas.
To whom is your post directed to, Chi?
WS not sure where you live but in the real world this comment was made”
“N.F.L. Commissioner Casts Doubt on Limbaugh Bid
October 14, 2009 , 5:15 am
Commissioner Roger Goodell cast doubt on Rush Limbaugh’s viability as an N.F.L. owner Tuesday, saying that “divisive comments are not what the N.F.L. is all about.”
“I’ve said many times before, we’re all held to a high standard here,” Mr. Goodell said. “I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the N.F.L. — absolutely not.”
——————
Now I take that as a comment by the NFL. No vote was taken but the words between those lines are clear enough for any idiot to get the message.
So Fergie can pee her pants in public and this lives up to the ‘high standards’ set by the NFL.
I’m getting a good laugh out of that one.
“Now I take that as a comment by the NFL. No vote was taken but the words between those lines are clear enough for any idiot to get the message.”
Damn, I thought you Con/Republicans were all about the rights of businesses to make their own choices.
Now, you are b!tching about a PRIVATE enterprise that hasn’t even VOTED ON LIMBAUGH’S BID and you expect to be taken seriously?
Goodell has the right to make his statement – free speech.
The head of the players union has the right to make his statement – free speech.
The dozen or so players have the right to make their statements – free speech.
Limbaugh has the right to whine like a baby – free speech.
Checketts has the right to kick Limbaugh out of his ownership group – capitalism at it’s best.
okobserver,
Are you claiming that this statement by Rush is not true?
“Having brought me into his group, Mr. Checketts now wanted a way out. He asked me to resign.”
Do any of the Con/Republicans believe that a Checketts/Limbaugh ownership would work?
How many black free agents would opt to sign with the Rams?
Zero.
How many black Rams players eligible for free agency for opt to resign with the Rams?
Zero.
How many black draft choices would opt to sit out a year and reenter the draft before signing with the Rams?
Most.
What coaches would consider signing with the Rams?
None.
The St. Louis Rams are one of the worst teams in the NFL today.
With Limbaugh as co-owner, they would be the worst of all time.
How does a pink panty wearing commie liberal like brown lee keep a job at a paper here in Wichita? I canceled my subscription because of the liberal bias to this paper. I’d gladly give my money again if they changed their attitudes! UNTIL THEN I’LL KEEP GETTING ALL I NEED ONLINE FOR FREE FREE FREE FREE (evil laughter)!
But besides all that, they really don’t have anything on Rush. Most of it was made up, the rest was taken out of context from parodys he did of work that originated from the mostly black people who didn’t think Barrack Obama was “black enough.” (like Barrack the magic negro….”
He made a comment about a mediocre quarter back who probably WAS being touted as something he wasn’t for the sake of political correctness. If that’s not true, Rush is still entitled to his opinion. The people he worked for did not like his opinion, and had every right to fire him as well.
I find it hilarious how a man who coordinated with the NAZI’s was also part of the bid, and no one thinks their is anything wrong with that, hell, sorros went around pointing out the jews to the NAZI’s in Hungry, sending people to their deaths!
Shemp,
If Brownlee upsets you, he must be fairly close to reality.
“If that’s not true, Rush is still entitled to his opinion.”
Yep, an his employer is STILL entitled to fire his sorry regular.
I find it hilarious how a man who coordinated with the NAZI’s…
You must be talking about Soros. Soros did more than coordinate with N@zi’s, he turned people over to them, including Jews – by pointing them out.

Soros was 13 when the Nazis invaded Hungary. He worked on a youth council they set up for TWO WHOLE DAYS until he found out what they were doing to Jewish people.

“from participating in the full array of opportunities this nation otherwise affords each of us.”
Well gee Rush, what ARE those?
YOU don’t get to own a football team? Poor baby! Where is opportunity in this country? I certainly have never seen it.
Rush Limbaugh often says the conservative ideal is “I love ya man. I made it and you can make it too!”
What he DOESN’T say is that the club has rules. And if you aint Rush, you abandon your dignity at that door. That’s rule one.
SHOCKER Rush, people who you say have no right to health care, a living wage, etc, have little sympathy with your “right” to own a football team. And so it seems. we have something to teach you.
It’s called disappointment Rush. And I know you have very little exposure to it. But people like you have made it something that Americans are just supposed to embrace.
Now, it’s your turn for a hug!
Limbaugh is a fool, trying to lead a parade of fools… He is worse than a bad joke… He is soon to show his true colors, and then EVERYBODY will know who and what he really is…
When has Limbaugh NOT been the victim.
That’s his whole shtick: hard-working white guys are the real victims in today’s society. Everybody else has their hands out and are picking hard-working white guy’s pockets.
The only people who are productive are supporting the huge and growing population who are parasitical on them.
It’s like how good hard-working Germans were victimized by the clever Jew.
“Ag,

Jed! Stop and think for a moment. If that quote had aired, there would be no damn need for an original 1998 tape.
Try applying some basic critical thinking. If that quote had aired, it would not be unconfirmed on Snopes, and in fact Limbaugh would be history.
Regular lies that George Soros pointed out Jews to the Nazis.
That would be strange since Gregory Schwartz was born into a Jewish family in Hungary.
Did he point himself out to the Nazis?
Wiki says:
Soros was thirteen years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany took military control over Hungary. For two days, Soros worked for the Jewish Council,which had been established during the Nazi occupation of Hungary to forcibly carry out Nazi and Hungarian government anti-Jewish measures. Soros later described this time to writer Michael Lewis–
The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper…It said report to the rabbi seminary at 9 a.m….And I was given this list of names. I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, “You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported.
To avoid his son’s being apprehended by the Nazis, Soros’s father paid a Ministry of Agriculture employee to have Soros spend the summer of 1944 living with him and posing as the godson. Young Soros had to hide his Jewishness even as the official was overseeing the confiscation of Jewish property.
In the following year, Soros survived the battle of Budapest in which Soviet and German forces fought house-to-house through the city.
*****
So not only was it a lie, it was a particularly despicable lie considering the hell that a 12-15 year old Jewish kid had to endure in Nazi controlled Europe.
Here you go Capn, the interview done with Soros.
http://sweetness-light.com/archive/george-soros-on-helping-the-nazis-during-the-holocaust
Soros not only denied being a Jew during that time, he posed as a Christian and helped with the confiscation of property belonging to Jews.
Reads to me that Soros was a N@zi collaborator, regardless of his age of 14.
I knew what was right and wrong at that age, so did Soros.
The difference is that Soros took the sniveling coward’s way out and collaborated with N@zis.
Gene Raston tries to rewrite history with: “So going through this thread, the only alledged racist comment was the McNabb thing.”
Uhm, no. Go back and read the Snopes link. The wishful thinking bullsh*t on this thread from partisans on both sides here is really getting annoying. The McNabb quote was hardly the only controversial thing Limbaugh spouted off about African Americans, or even African Americans in the NFL.
“And of course that was made BEFORE McNabb had matured and gotten better. Rush’s comment was directed against THE MEDIA, for hyping and hyping on a QB that was VERY mediocre at the time but the MEDIA couldn’t shut up about how wonderful it was that you had a black starting QB.”
Oh bullsh*t. This is just trying to retrofit Limbaugh’s comments to suit your beliefs, Gene. McNabb was a starter at the time Limbaugh made his idiotic comment, and the Eagles were doing very well with him under center.
“All this comment was, was Rush calling out the MEDIA on their ooohh, ahhhs and hyping, JUST because McNabb was black and a starting QB.”
This was Limbaugh trying to get a shot against the “politically correct media”, and picking a very stupid fight at that. He said that a quarterback who was getting the same sort of attention that winning quarterbacks typically get was, in his case, getting undue attention because he was black. It was a stupid thing to say, and the absurdity of it is obvious to anyone who follows football.
“There was NOTHING racist said ABOUT McNabb. In fact there was NOTHING bad said about McNabb other than Rush pointing out, that at the time he was mediocre at best.”
Again, retro-fitting after the fact to try to make Rush’s comment acceptable.
The McNabb comment was a stupid thing to say. To say that an athlete is getting undue attention because of his race when other athletes in the same position is racist, because it plants the seed that someone of the “race” in question probably gets positive recognition because of his race, rather than because of his accomplishments. Even if that was not what Rush wanted to say, that is how it was interpreted, and that interpretation is more than reasonable.
And the fact that Limbaugh’s bone headed comment cost him his position at ESPN, and is remembered by NFL players (as is also his equally, if not more stupid, “there, I said it” comment) is his fault.
And self described coalition conservatives really have the brainless nerve to call “liberals” people who duck responsibility.
That is what Rush is doing here.
There are and hyave been plenty of NFL owners who have outspoken conservative views. Hell, the main partner in the group bidding on St. Louis is probably every bit as conservative as Rush.
It is not Rush’s conservatism that got him in trouble, it is his foot in mouth disease. He let fly stupid comments that have come back to bite him on the tookus, but he is whining about “liberal” persecution.
The ‘jawless fish’ gives the hyphenated word category a new entry, “ retro-fitting.”
Oh, come on, Regular.
Did Anne Frank take the “sniviling coward’s way out” because she and her family hid in an attic.
A lot of Jews passed as goyyim and lived. So did Soros. They were the lucky ones. The rest of them died horribly.
You said he “pointed Jews out to the Nazis.” This he most assuredly did not do.
That’s a really nasty lie too, given the circumstances at the time.
RE: Capn and Soros
::crickets::
Hey, Gene, “take the bone out of your nose and then call me back.”
Yeah . . . nothing racist about that.
“The ‘jawless fish’ gives the hyphenated word category a new entry, ‘retro-fitting.’”
Fiiiiiine. Gene Raston’s attempt at retrofitting is still baloney.
Oh, and no more soup for you, troll.
He was forced to go along with the charade or get sent to the death camp.
He had no choice.
And it was a choice that any reasonable person would have to take in a similar situation.
And Prescott Bush was in no danger of his life when he collaborated with the Nazi fascists.

Anne Frank hid with her family from the N@zis, unlike Soros who collaborated with the N@zis.
Anne Frank died in the Bergen-Belsen Concentration camp.
Soros is still alive and shows that a sociopath even at an early age will do anything to further their own cause and save their own skin.

Nice diversion, even though it is completely false.
That story about Prescott Bush has been shut down so many times on this blog, it’s hard to keep track of the numbers.
But you do enjoy lying don’t you Capn?
“Am Way – Anti – Jim Johnson – Regular = one and the same.
“Multi-nic posters, all the same person.’
I strongly doubt that.
And making questionable, if not outright meritless, accusations at to nic switching like you and another certain poster tends to do becomes like crying wolf.
Seriously, every conservative poster who picks a fight with you does not equal Regular/Republican/Republikhan/Eier/JM.
Jim Johnson, however, almost certainly does equal Max/Max Grobnik.
AmWay has almost certainly never been anyone but AmWay. He doesn’t have time. When he gets on a roll, he posts too often under his own name.
Posters have styles, and it is not as easy to sustain mimicry of other styles for extended periods of time under other identities. In fact, it is damn near impossible.
“Soros is still alive and shows that a sociopath even at an early age will do anything to further their own cause and save their own skin.”
Seriously, Capn’, this is classic trolling.

How Bush’s grandfather helped Hitler’s rise to power
George Bush’s grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company’s assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator’s action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis’ plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler’s rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.
Remarkably, little of Bush’s dealings with Germany has received public scrutiny, partly because of the secret status of the documentation involving him. But now the multibillion dollar legal action for damages by two Holocaust survivors against the Bush family, and the imminent publication of three books on the subject are threatening to make Prescott Bush’s business history an uncomfortable issue for his grandson, George W, as he seeks re-election.
I am most interested in how “Regular” has exploited the “opportunity” this nation provides.
He has figured out to ride the wagon while whipping the horses.
Like Limbaugh.
Except Rush gets married and doesn’t live with his sister.
The Guardian Capn?
Surely, a UFO story from the Guardian would have been more factual and even more entertaining.
Rush is impotent too.

This just another shining example of how the feds are sticking their noses’ into everyone’s day to day lives. I bet they’d let any of the tax cheats in the white house get into minority ownership.
The Guardian story was based on recently released US documents.

Documents: Bush’s Grandfather Directed Bank Tied to Man Who Funded Hitler
Friday , October 17, 2003
President Bush’s grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who helped bankroll Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, government documents show.
Prescott Bush was one of seven directors of Union Banking Corp., a New York investment bank owned by a bank controlled by the Thyssen family, according to recently declassified National Archives documents reviewed by The Associated Press.
Fritz Thyssen (search) was an early financial supporter of Hitler, whose Nazi party Thyssen believed was preferable to communism.
Reports of Bush’s involvement with the seized bank have been circulating on the Internet for years and have been reported by some mainstream media. The newly declassified documents provide additional details about the Union Banking-Thyssen connection.
Trent Duffy, a spokesman for President Bush, declined to comment.

Thank you for that interesting article.
There’s nothing sensationalized about it. It reports on the Ministry of Defence records released about UFO reports.
The paper itself in no way claims that UFO’s are alien from other planets. It simply reports what people claim and compares it to MoD reports.
Liberals and other compassionates are your meal ticket “Regular”.
Conservatives would pave you over. And you know it.
But you have not even the dignity to support those who guarantee your continued existence.
And it is because you are small and selfish and afraid.
Otherwise useless, you embrace being a political tool.
Oh they afford you more than me. And while that lets you live better than me?
I am sorry for you. Little that I may have, I am not a tool.
So Capn, from your 2003 story on Prescott Bush:
Because Prescott Bush was one of seven Directors on a bank that was owned by a Dutch guy that did business with the N@zis, then Bush is guilty by associated.
Well, with that kind of logic, I think O’BAMA supports domestic terrorism, because he served on the same board with a member of the Weathermen (Bill Ayers), a domestic terrorist.
Speaking of tools BlueJay, get back on the Capn’s – you didn’t finish the _____job.
CONs have an easy task. They start with the CONclusion and spin the facts to back it up.
For instance, Pope Benedict . . . if he’s CON enough for them, they defend his CONscription into the Nazi Army by pointing out that he went AWOL ASAP.
If he’s not CON enough for them, they attack him for deserting his fellow troops.
If McCain gets a medal in Vietnam, he’s a hero. If Kerry gets a silver star, a bronze star with V for Valor, and three purple hearts . . . it’s all lies.
If Bush steals an election and loses the popular vote, everybody should just “get over it.”
If Obama wins with the highest vote total in history, “he fooled people” and “wasn’t born in the US.”
associated = association
If McCain gets a medal in Vietnam, he’s a hero. If Kerry gets a silver star, a bronze star with V for Valor, and three purple hearts . . . it’s all lies.

I’m curious – did McCain ever throw his medals over the fence or lie before Congress on what occurred in Vietnam?

No, O’BAMA just fooled the sheeple.

Hell, yes. Without American bankers like Prescott Bush funding people like Thyssen who was a well-known funder of Hitler, Hitler couldn’t have come to power.
Why don’t you CONdemn the Pope for taking the “snivelling coward’s way out” by joining Nazi Youth, Regular?
Nevermind, I already know.
He’s not considered a liberal.
Where was Old Blood and Guts Limbaugh during Vietnam?
Yeah, he got a deferment because of “piloneal cyst” (look it up) . . . that would also explain the three divorces . . . ICKY
The Capn writes: Hell, yes. Without American bankers like Prescott Bush funding people like Thyssen who was a well-known funder of Hitler, Hitler couldn’t have come to power.
Ummm, Thyssen owned the bank, he didn’t need Prescott’s Bush’s permission to get funding.

Of course, you do realize that the N@zi’s confiscated everything Thyssen had invested because they thought Thyssen was an American collaborator.

Actually, Clinton got a high draft lottery number, so he didn’t have to go. But he did pull some fast ones, no doubt. As did party-hearty GWBush.
But the difference is that Clinton didn’t support the war like Limbaugh and GW supposedly did.

Clinton’s Draft Avoidance
February 16, 1968 – “The Johnson administration unexpectedly abolished graduate deferments.”
–[Wash Post Sep 13 92]
March 20, 1968 – Clinton, age 21, is classified 1-A, eligible for induction, as he nears graduation from Georgetown.
–[Wash Post Sep 13 92]
Comment: Bill Clinton was the only man of his prime draft age classified1-A by that draft board in 1968 whose pre-induction physical examination was put off for 10.5 months. This delay was more than twice as long as anyone else and more than five times longer than most area men of comparable eligibility.
–[Los Angeles Times Sep 02 92]
Clinton’s Uncle Raymond Clinton personally lobbied Senator Fulbright, William S. Armstrong, the chairman of the three-man Hot Springs draft board, and Lt. Comdr. Trice Ellis, Jr., commanding officer of the local Navy reserve unit, to obtain a slot for Clinton in the Naval Reserve.
Clinton secured a “standard enlisted man’s billet, not an officer’s slot which would have required Clinton to serve two years on active duty beginning within 12 months of his acceptance.” This Navy Reserve assignment was “created especially for the Bill Clinton at a time in 1968 when no existing reserve slots were open in his hometown unit.”
According to the LA Times, “after about two weeks waiting for Bill Clinton to arrive for his preliminary interview and physical exam, Ellis said he called (Clinton’s uncle) Raymond to inquire – ‘What happened to that boy?’ According to Ellis, Clinton’s uncle replied – ‘Don’t worry about it. He won’t be coming down. “It’s all been taken care of.’ ”
–[LA Times Sep 02 92]
Fall 1968 – Because of the local draft board’s continuing postponement of his pre-induction physical, Clinton is able to enroll at Oxford Univ.
–[Wash Post Sep 13 92]
February 2, 1969 – While at Oxford, Clinton finally takes and passes a military physical examination.
–[Washington Times Sep 18 92]
April 1969 – Clinton receives induction notice from the Hot Springs AR draft board. Clinton however claims that the draft board told him to ignore the notice because it arrived after the deadline for induction.
–[Wash Post Sep 13 92]
June-July 1969 – Clinton receives a second induction notice with a July 28 induction date and returns home.
–[Wash Times Sep 18 92]
July 11, 1969 – Clinton’s friend at Oxford, Cliff Jackson, writes, “Clinton is feverishly trying to find a way to avoid entering the Army as a drafted private. I have had several of my friends in influential positions trying to pull strings on Bill’s behalf.”
– [LA Times Sep 26 92]
August 7, 1969 – Clinton is reclassified 1-D after he arranges to enter the ROTC program at the University of Arkansas.
–[Wash Post Sep 13 92]
Clinton’s admission into the ROTC program again runs contrary to his repeated statements that he received no special treatment in order to evade military service. Col. Eugene Holmes, commander of the University of Arkansas ROTC program, said Clinton was admitted after pressure from the Hot Springs draft board and the office of Senator J. William Fulbright (D-AR).
September 7, 1992: Col. Eugene Holmes, USA Ret., signs a notarized statement in which he asserts that “there is the imminent danger to our country of a draft dodger becoming Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States.” He later writes that “I believe that he (Clinton) purposefully deceived me, using the possibility of joining the ROTC as a ploy to work with the draft board to delay his induction and get a new draft reclassification.”
They’ve abandoned you ya know “Regular”.
Oh Hank weighs in in a nic or three. And Okie shows up now and again. You do your own part inventing nics that support you.
