Rush didn't get McNabbed. If anything he got Palined. His words were taken out of context just like Sarah Palin's when she exhorted The Tea Party audience she was addressing to "party like it's 1773".
Rush was criticizing sports writers and talking heads, not McNabb.
As for the Snerdly thing. What does that even mean, "there u are"?
Why are you and Michael Savage so jealous of Rush's and Sean "Wallbanger" Hannity's success? What difference does it make that Hannity used to be a contractor?
Oh, by the way, Savage's real last name is Weiner.
But, then, I guess if you're going to attack others on baseless grounds, it sounds more manly to call yourself Savage than Weiner.
He knows full well that his icons opposed that legislation and folks he would have opposed then supported all of that.
Nearly all so called conservative pundits do this dance because they think it helps them with black people.
But supporting more and more government intrusion into private rights like all of that did and the identity politics and racial redress monster it all created is not conservative.
Conservatism is about truth and liberty. All of that 60s race legislation while waxing about liberty did far more damage than good and there is a reason the conservative Holy Trinity of the day..Magnus, Buck and Goldwater opposed it all.
Savage is Jewish you say? Shucks..so is Levin. Who cares? Would that more Jews followed their lead.
I could care less what Hannity did for a living? Why bring that up...that makes as much difference as you bringing up Savage's Jewishness.
I agree with Rush and Levin more than anyone including Savage. But I diverge with them over this issue as I assume I do with you as well.
The dirty secret no one dare utter is that most Southern Democrats were more conservative than Northeastern GOP...that is what the Buckley-Goldwater-Reagan(and others) upheaval in the GOP was all about and to diminish the power of the liberals like Rockefeller and so forth.
How did they do this...ultimately with Reagan, John Tower and Trent Lott and the Southern Strategy. And it worked. White Mississippians now vote 90% GOP in national elections. LQC Lamar woulda never believed that would happen after the dark days of Depression. White southerners left the ever more progressive Democrats..a turn of events that NeoYankees and folks PC over race have a hard time accepting..even here and especially amongst pundits and writers...without white southerners, the GOP would be a perpetual minority party...and my be soon anyhow if they don't shut the borders or buck up and embrace their base.
One last preempt..since I figure your next arrow in your quiver will be New Deal talk and southern Dems...Dems in the South were split...much like Civil Rights it took GOP crossovers to get it done. Here in TN, most of the Congressional Democrats..Crump folks...voted against FDR stuff time and again except notably a young Estes Kefauver of Mafia grandstanding fame who later supported early racial redress legislation...no surprise there huh?....populism ala FDR and Kingfish had no lock all over Dixie like revisionists enjoy portraying.
It is simply disingenuous for some conservative notables to parse this history like they do...Dems always libs, GOP always conservative and righteous which usually translates..”South bad, North and West good”...our political history much like life in general is much more complicated.
The other day I was reading an early Reagan talk on communism and he actually attributed the origins of the Democrat party to Jefferson...now this is how I was taught too but can you imagine that now from our conservative pundits..they like to write the Dems from whole cloth ala Jackson...the first POTUS they really hate ..
Snerdly is black...I doubt even I in these heated times over anything not white would go on and on how excessive or unnecessary that the 60s race legislation was given he is right in front of him..and Rush having been bit by the black bug so many times is perhaps wary anyhow...anything he utters about blacks is reported everywhere in seconds and mis quoted or out of context.
Perhaps he could say...Why didn't we just enforce the Constitution? All that legislation didn't create freedom it created a mess of dependence, victimhood, Balkanization and an extortion industry sanctioned by various government agencies and hurt blacks far more than helped them especially in family cohesiveness but one could argue that different. The white family has collapsed too and we never got any of that. What killed segregation and discrimination for the most part nationwide is whites gave up and have been browbeaten to submit and have enormous guilt and shame to even utter a defense of racial separation regardless of any empirical or anecdotal proof things were better before in any aspect.
I was around then...nothing is better today except medical care, fancy ballistics and automobile handling...and universal AC...I actually lived in Mississippi as a lad for the first 15 years of my life with no AC...an attic fan..imagine that...and I am quite obviously 100% southern peckerwood and my family extended and otherwise always eschewed handouts and my dad and granddad were GOP from Truman onwards...just for reference as well as not being favorable to FDR though dad was too young Good day.
