It being "Black History Month" and all (Frankly, ANY month, or any DAY for that matter, can be a "history" related event), I thought it apropos to educate those with their heads in the sand about the topic of race
The right-wing college crowd ramblings of a pro-life, colorblind, Capitalist, Conservative, California Republican

Fear is as effective in enslaving us as iron shackles. One more nail was hammered deeply into America's freedom coffin when a group of private sector entrepreneurs were intimidated by race hustlers into ousting talk show host Rush Limbaugh from the consortium formed to buy the St. Louis Rams.
Armed with nothing more than demonstrably false charges of racism, fabricated to destroy Limbaugh, several black NFL players claimed publicly that they would never play for a team owned by Limbaugh. Into the cauldron of racial slime jumped the usual race mongering suspects, The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton - aided by the liberal media, including CNN, MSNBC and their ilk.
The phony charge of racism is continuously used as a weapon to silence conservatives who dare stand up for our nation's traditional values and oppose the radical socialist agenda of Democrats and the Obama Administration. Limbaugh deserves our gratitude for showing no fear of the race-baiters, fighting back and helping to preserve the freedoms that have made this country great.
Frances Rice, a retired lawyer and US Army Lieutenant Colonel, is chairman of the National Black Republican Association and may be contacted at: www.NBRA.infoConservatives, Dittoheads in particular, make many demands of Rush Limbaugh. He’s considered a spokesman and a champion of their political philosophy, and one who articulates it to millions every day. But now that he’s been dropped by a group seeking to acquire the St. Louis Rams football team because of statements taken out of context (and in this case, simply made up), he needs to punch them all in the mouth.
li·bel
2 a : a written or oral defamatory statement or representation that conveys an unjustly unfavorable impression b (1) : a statement or representation published without just cause and tending to expose another to public contempt (2) : defamation of a person by written or representational means (3) : the publication of blasphemous, treasonable, seditious, or obscene writings or pictures (4) : the act, tort, or crime of publishing such a libel
Obviously, this is what we have here.
Whether it be football players reciting or reacting to statements made by so-called media professionals that cannot be fully attributed anywhere, Rush Limbaugh needs to take this to the next level because if the media (that berates “bloggers” for not having editors of “filters”) believes they can just pull an incendiary quote out of the air and make it stick to someone who never said it, no one is safe, especially coming from thin-skinned news anchors and pundits who believe they’re shielded from retribution simply because they are the press.
So why should Rush sue? Because he can probably prove some serious damages.
All one has to do is look at what the monetary worth of the-then St. Louis Lambs was, and contrast that with what the Rams were worth in the days when they were “The Greatest Show on Turf”. We could be talking billions of dollars in increased and higher-priced ticket sales, merchandising, television rights for local broadcasts, increased national exposure on Sunday and Monday nights.
Because Rush’s partners jettisoned him and the baggage the media thrown his way, even as a minority partner, the potential monetary losses could be huge.
With that, he’d need to go after everyone who repeated the “slavery” quote, including the man who orginally composed it, the media entities who ran it without checking it’s authenticity, the news and sports punditry who publicly reacted to (and based negative opinions on) the false quotes, the commissioner of the National Football league and Indianapolis Colts owner who publicly declared Rush Limbaugh guilty before proven innocent, and at least admonish those players (whom he had the most admiration of) who accepted that guilty charge and made their own pre-trial closing statements.
In order to clear his name, and as we’re talking the potential loss of serious millions, Rush Limbaugh could conceivably own a significant part of CNN, MSNBC, and toss a lot of irresponsible hacks out on their asses. That’s how much we could be talking about.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson cannot be allowed to continue dictating what good taste and permissible speech in America is. Just the fact he said he was going to talk to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about the situation is laughable. Who is Sharpton to get an audience in the first place, just because he decided to interject himself into a manufactured controversy after the media called their favorite race-issue consultant?
And as I said earlier, if Rush doesn’t take these lying slanderers out back once and for all, they will do it again to anyone with a Republican last initial.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism professors (moonlighting as cable news experts) cannot be allowed to go to any old website containing a post with no attribution and use that as a basis for character assassination. Partisan pundits can’t hide behind freedom-of-the-press to repeat false quotes just because they don’t like another persons’ success at articulating an opposing point of view.
Race hustlers cannot be allowed to interject themselves into a false controversy and anoint themselves as speech arbiters, especially when they were given a pass on false comments (including ones that cost people their careers.
News anchors cannot be allowed to work on a news set after they knowingly read a false quote and their way of apologizing is to ring up other quotes out of context. The very football players, who claim to be this potential victim of a Rush Limbaugh, can’t just go to the media and repeat false quotes because of what could’ve been.
The media also has to believe in fairness and equality.
Should any media personality decide to go back and create a story based on fabrications, they should also be worried about their own skeletons, right Mr. Sanchez? They are the first to get all bent when they receive criticism for malicious damage of someone else’s reputation. They’re always too good to apologize; it’s beneath them.
Now’s the time for them to find out what it’s like to have your life destroyed. It’s time for the message to be sent that the arena of ideas is just that. Should they decide to play loose with the rules, they must suffer the same consequences as the dozens of others they’ve had their way with.
Rush Limbaugh has an obligation, not only to us but himself, to sue everybody involved in this sham.
Her latest mission is to defend someone she clearly deems an inferior (despite the obvious power of his office), Barack Obama.
It’s obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country that tea-baggers, the 9-12ers, these separatist groups that pretend that it’s about policy – they are clearly white-identity movements. They’re clearly white power movements. What they don’t like about the President is that he’s black – or half black (applause) – and they, what also is shocking is that people keep pretending that that’s not really the case with these people.
What’s clearly not obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country is that Garofalo lives (when it comes to racists) in a very big glass house.
Let me tell you a little story.
A few years ago while networking in Los Angeles, I met a black man who worked at an industry post production facility in Hollywood. On an almost daily basis, he found racist pictures taped to the door of his work area. He didn’t know who the person was who left those pictures, but it was clear he was annoyed by the fact that any one of the co-workers he associated with who smiled to his face, could have been the person who looked at him with hate.
His problem was this: he could make a complaint with management. Under normal circumstances, that’s all it would take to get to the bottom of this. But we’re talking Hollywood.
Whomever it was leaving those pictures had no fear of being caught or of retribution. The act so dictates. Had this black man had the “wrong person” reprimanded or fired, that’s where the fun begins in Hollywood. The person issuing the complaint would be gray-listed. From then on, any place he sought work would know in advance he could be a “problem”, and he’d probably not get the job. Thus you have an atmosphere where racist and sexist behavior occurs frequently, as the victim stands more to lose than the asshole harasser.
Hollywood racism is as blatant as that on the inside.
A couple of quick examples come to mind.
When black O.J. Simpson was accused of killing his wife, white Hollywood shunned him. When white Roman Polanski was found guilty of drugging, raping, and sodomizing a little girl, white Hollywood circled the wagons.
Notice how two of the more recent widely successful shows were all white, Janeane? None of the “Friends” were black, and Seinfeld’s lead ensemble were as well. Black people get “Cribs” and can pimp rides. “Laguna Beach” rich kids are worth watching, a reality show in The Hood may be too much information, and who would even think of green-lighting anything involving a no-talent, black-Paris Hilton-type. (There are black “princesses” in Hollywood.)
During the presidential campaign, Hollywood did everything possible to show solidarity behind Barack Obama. During his college years, I doubt few in the industry would allow their daughter to date someone with his tint and odd-sounding name, but as he could potentially have more power than them, industry elites had to temporarily shelve they’re superiority complexes and closet intolerance to support the black guy. Their publicists also liked and could work with that.
For years now I contend that white liberals consider black people their pets, and Janeane Garofalo is no different. But using race as the basis for her argument, especially being a “comedian” who based on her body of work would stay unemployed if she were black, is clearly being done for her own sense of relevance.
Oh, and besides looking at black people as pets, liberals love to use them as well, as reflected with the many actresses who just have to adopt a minority baby as an I’m-better-than-you accessory.
Would white Hollywood EVER show constant depictions of their children as gangsta’ thugs and their women as hos? We always hear different liberal groups get all bent over Playmates or Hooter girls, but when was the last time an industry bigwig ever condemned the slutting of black women in entertainment? I’ve mentioned before the Hollywood exec preference for light-skinned black women, as they’re the ones who get most of the gigs. But has Janeane Garofalo ever asked why black people are presented to the world in such a demeaning way?
Probably not, because that’s probably how she sees blacks. Now that an Affirmative Action candidate has gotten the top job, she sees any resistance to Barack Obama as an opportunity to rescue and take him to a shelter for mistreated animals.
Like most liberals, she is gutless and seldom (I can’t think of a recent exception) goes on a venue with equal sides of a debate and participate. She prefers shows like Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann where she can spew unchallenged.
She calls tea party protesters racist teabaggers. If that’s the case, Janeane Garofalo is a Hollywood racist. While the 9/12 crowd protests the president, many liberals in Hollywood still have no problem in harassing and denigrating black people, and do so with impunity.
When she says, “Fox News is happy to feed into this; AM radio is happy to feed into this,” including “this tacit nudging towards violence”, Hollywood enables and promotes racism and Garofalo by not speaking out, must be happy to feed into this. Hollywood magnifies the worse in minorities, claim that they’re keeping it real, and for that reason, Marlon Brando was right when he inadvertently hit liberal Hollywood right between the eyes. I would just substitute the word “Jews” with liberals.
Hollywood is run by liberals. It is owned by liberals, and they should have a greater sensitivity. They should have greater sensitivity about the issue of people who are suffering because they’ve (been) exploited. We have seen the nigger, we’ve seen the greaseball, we have seen the chink, the slit-eyed dangerous Jap. We have seen the wily Filipino. We’ve seen everything, but we never saw the ultra-liberal, because they know perfectly well that is where you draw the wagons around.
Janeane Garofalo, in that quest for relevance, is exploiting Barack Obama, and as she’s using race as her basis, is a racist herself. Once she addresses the racist cesspool she freely associates with, she has no business calling any law-abiding, citizen who wishes to protest the direction a president is taking the country, something she clearly is herself.
