A Freeper pointed out yesterday that all Dan Snyder really has to do here is launch a PR campaign aimed at documenting the sad, deplorable conditions on Indian reservations in Harry Reid’s home state of Nevada.

Back in the late 1980’s the Bureau of Indian Affairs “lost” $9 BILLION dollars that was supposed to go to the various tribes ... nothing ever came of the investigation ... Politicians have been stealing from the Indians since they first met them and nothing has changed.

A government that actively persecutes its citizens is not what you’d except to find in “a land of the free”, which we no longer are, but in a fascist or Stalinist proto-tyranny instead.

It is a perfect straw man...Harry can knock down the Redskins, while not having to spend floor time debating Fast and Furious, VA, IRS etc.

Follow me on this. Anyone watching soccer World Cup? Well I’m not, it is not something that I usually care about-Soccer. Have you noticed the world wide take over of Soccer? Latin and European countries are and have been crazy over soccer for decades but Football does not translate to these countries. Ponder that for a moment. We have watched the systematic destruction of the game of football for the last decade. Head injuries leading to lawsuits(heck the use their heads in soccer) names of teams now will be subjected to change. Football players out of control financially I predict will be brought down to size...then destroyed because their game is not a “Global” one. Rush brought it out a few years ago saying they were feminizing football. (Pink accessories used) It just makes sense that the worldwide ELITES will destroy a once great game. I prefer College ball myself!

Somewhere, somehow, this is about money.

It always is.

Agree Rush has talk about this for years….pink in football & men with pink shirts & etc. They want no men men anymore. Just WUSSY…..I’ll take cowboy and real man anyway. I did not watch soccer games. Its not football its they want the whole World to be alike. How many time have U heard officials say they do it all other country….healthcare, 4 day workweeks, months of vacation times etc.??? Just like with schools they want all kids same.

Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter and National Congress of American Indians executive director Jackie Pata, who call the Redskins name a “hateful slur,” hope that the patent ruling will “imperil the ability of the team’s billionaire owner to keep profiting off the denigration and dehumanization of Native Americans.”

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." - Booker T. Washington

Substitute the word Indians for colored and negro, and it is as pertinent to this nonsense as it is to the Sharpton-Jackson charlatans of today. Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter and National Congress of American Indians executive director Jackie Pata are the injun version of Sharpie and the Rev'rund.

Its sole purpose is to make LIBTARDS feel better about themselves.

Change the name to the 'Washington Thinskins' like freeper coleo suggested. It would be such a great reminder of who liberal elites really are...

I don't understand why the American 'natives' get to use the name INDIAN anyway. The real Indians, from INDIA, should file a class action lawsuit.

The 'native' Americans should use a name that is more descriptive of their race.

Like.... oh I don't know... REDSKINS.

Why is it OK to call negroes ‘BLACK’ based on their SKIN COLOR, but NOT OK to call the natives ‘REDSKINS’ based on their ‘red’ skin color ?
