Rush Limbaugh: Kathleen Blanco Hates Black People

Kathleen Blanco is white, correct? George Bush is white, correct? At least according to the pictures I see. The majority of the residents of New Orleans, black, right? According to the census and the pictures I see, right? Yes. Okay. Hurricane comes. Most of the suffering that we are shown is being incurred by black people in New Orleans who are said to be poor, who are said to be black, and about whom it is said Bush is happy this has happened. Bush doesn't care about black people. Kanye West and the rest of the civil rights leadership echoes this, and why? Well, because Bush is white. Okay. What if I were to say to you, "You know, Kathleen Blanco has been running the state here, she's in her first term. You've had a bunch of white governors throughout the state's history and you've had the population of New Orleans what it is for a long time. And you've had the poverty in New Orleans among that population what it is for a long time. I think Kathleen Blanco hates black people. I don't think she cares about black people, and I don't think Huey Long cared. I don't think Edwin Edwards cared about black people. You know why? Because he didn't do one damned thing to help them out! He sat there, she sat there, all these people sat there while the black people of New Orleans suffered away in poverty as part of the entitlement state. I must conclude they don't like black people."

"Oh, that's outrageous!" you say.

Well, is it any more outrageous than saying George W. Bush, who is not even in Louisiana, hates black people? They're the ones that had something to do with it. They're the ones promising black people to elevate them out of those circumstances, take them to the mountaintop. That just didn't pull. It must be because they don't like black people, must be because they actually want black people to suffer. Maybe it's because they're racists. Maybe they're racists. Maybe what you have in the case of Kathleen Blanco is really Pieter Botha. Does the name ring a bell, folks? Pieter Botha? He was the leader of South Africa who refused to let Nelson Mandela out of jail. He went to the end of his career trying to uphold apartheid. Yeah. P.W. Botha. Pieter Botha. It looks like we got some apartheid. Louisiana. You got all these white governors; you got poor blacks never getting out of those circumstances -- and, in fact, you don't have even much being done about the rampant crime that was going on down there. We keep hearing that got worse. Maybe all these white governors in Louisiana didn't want to do anything about the crime because they wanted the black population to kill itself off. Maybe that's really what's going on here. Does this make any more sense to you than what the left is saying about George W. Bush? I told you, Mr. Snerdley, I was going to say something that might get me in heap big doo-doo, but I'm just trying to put an A/B picture for you, A/B, side-by-side comparison. You have white governors; you have black people in New Orleans that are destitute, crime-ridden for years, for generations. Nothing is done about it. Nobody ever said during that, "Maybe those people just don't like the blacks down there. Maybe they just don't like them, and they're not doing much about the crime. It's black-on-black crime. Who cares? So says the governor rather of New Orleans."

Well of course now you're offended by this and you're outraged. "Rush, how dare you say this?"

Is this not exactly what they're saying about George W. Bush? My point is: why is it believable about Bush to some people, yet totally offensive and outrageous when you say this about Kathleen Blanco or Edwin Edwards or Huey Long? Huh? Well, you know the answer to this. I'm just trying to force you to think about this in a different way.

Rush completely nailed the hypocrisy of the left with this!

[peyton randolph]

MSM Rule # 1. All Republicans are racists.
MSM Rule # 2. Dimwits (including Sheets Byrd) are never racists.

[Ohioan from Florida]

He nails their hypocrisy every day! God bless Rush Limbaugh!

[joesnuffy]

We had a boss like that on the old Soo Line RR
He did not like white people...

I could tell...because everytime he came by and
we were sitting around bs ing on the clock

He would yell at us to get back to work...

Since we were all white guys ...it can only be concluded
that since he refused to pay us for not working..

He must have hated us...

imo

[wagglebee]

I know he does, but today if any of the racist leftists were listening they were under no illusion about what he meant.

[woodb01]

ACTUAL racism would be consistent with her actions in letting the poor DIE while she played DNC style politics.

[Ohioan from Florida]

I agree. Boy, are they ever gonna be mad that he outed them...again.

[Malesherbes]

Hey, big hint to the Rev. Jesse and the Rev. Al: Blanco is the Spanish word for WHITE. Take that and run with it.

Kathleen Blanco's husband, Raymond, was dean at USL in Lafayette when Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot. On that April day in 1968, he was requested to lower the school flag to half-staff, as was being done all over the county. Raymond politely told the requesters to f--- off.

During the 2003 campaign, as she was running about 5 to 10 points behind her Republican opponent, Indian-American Bobby Jindal, Kathleen put out an anti-Jindal ad in which a photo of her opponent was touched up so as to resemble a bona-fide "black" man. The ad was screamingly headlined "WAKE UP, LOUISIANA!" Kathleen won by four points.

Just a couple of tidbits.

I just love listening to him. I have a friend who is conservative, but told me she didn't like to listen to him because, in her eyes, he seems pompous. I told her that what I really like about him is that he makes so much sense! She got over it after that.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Soo Line. We have a Gil Reid original of a Soo GP in our hallway. Not that it matters since we're "trailer trash."

----I have a friend who is conservative, but told me she didn't like to listen to him because, in her eyes, he seems pompous.----

That's part of Rush's charm -- his pompousness is entirely tongue-in-cheek. Your friend should check out O'Reilly's radio show for GENUINE egotism.

Racism is part of the Democratic party's normal, everyday MO. It is part of their nature and who they are. Democrats have a LONG HISTORY of Racism...

No kidding! O'Reilly is a definite egotist. I stopped watching his show long ago.

[johnmecainrino]

Racism by governor and local officials Jesse Jackson silent about.


Governor Blanco refused to let helicopters drop food and water fearing riots from black people no one calls out her racism.

Police evacuated tourists from the superdome and left the black people there what about that racism.

Mayor let the hotel guests go to the superdome and cut to the front of the line for people waiting for buses at the superdome.

Cops in the precinct to the west of Orleans refused to let black people cross the bridge fearing mass looting no one talks about that racism.

Limbaugh was starting to get a bit dull until a few months ago. Now I think he is better than he has ever been. God bless you, Mr Limbaugh.

And the moral is. . .there are much worse things than being poor. Casting a vote for a Democrat. . .is one of them; being responsible for the success of these self-annointed Demrats contains it's own curse.

[wagglebee]

Can you provide reliable links for both of these pieces of information? I don't doubt for a minute it's true, but for something of this magnitude, I think it's important to have verification from credible sources.
