Rush on Kennedy's Neanderthal Statement-a quote
RushLimbaugh.com ^ | 11/18/2003 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 11/18/2003 11:10:29 AM PST by Mich0127

"What's gone on since I've been gone? Ted Kennedy called a bunch of highly respected minorities 'Neanderthals.' The fact that he's still in the Senate and hasn't been forced to resign, means that nothing's changed. It's just a good thing Senator Kennedy didn't say it on ESPN, or he might have resigned."

I am so glad Rush is back. Rush made this comment today on his talk program on the EIB network. Doesn't it ring true? Well, actually ESPN is full of liberal wimps who would probably ignore Kennedy's statement or even indorse it!

If he had called them N*gger Apes he would have been forced to resign for sure. As usual liberals get a pass for displaying bigotry.

Isn't there a five day waiting period that is employeed in such a circumstance? Doesn't the media have to tell ESPN what to think?

Today? He said it yesterday. The only reaction I saw from the media last night was that he was his old self and started attacking Ted Kennedy right off the bat. Of course, they neglected to go into further detail about the verbal assault. I figured it was because what Rush said was true.

If he had called them N*gger Apes he would have been forced to resign for sure don't bet on it. If Ted can kill a woman and get away with it, words are not going to get him in trouble. They use to say the only way he would lose an election was to be caught in bed with a dead woman or a live boy.

Rush is right. Race is simply used by Democrats in cynical subterfuge to obtain political advantage.

Back in the days before the likes of Frank and Condit, it had a tinge of truth too.

I guess neanderthal is a recognized political party now. Instead of a VRWC, will it now be re-labeled as a Vast Neanderthal Conspiracy?

Yes. The "N" word is no no for a Republican. But its understandable if a Democrat gets offended by minorities who've strayed off the Liberal Plantation proceeds to insult them.

Rush is kidding, right?

Fatso Kennedy gets drunk, kills a girl, goes home, sleeps it off, calls the cops with a bogus excuse, and walks on the whole ordeal. He skates because he's a member of a corrupt regime (the dimoRat party) that can only be compared to the Nazi party in corruptness.

And we think the fatman is going to be held accountable for a mere statement about neanderthals?

You know what the Japanese say about it, don't you?

Nevah haappen.
