Ru$h Roundup

The fallout behind Ru$h Limbaugh's nasty, mean spirited,  personal attack against Sandra Fluke continues, despite his half a$$, post advertiser bailout apology.
"My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices."
Isn't it funny how the right wing, Lords of Loud, always resort to the I was just kidding, I am an entertainer line when they resort to personal attacks, name calling and insults to attack the messenger because they can't attack the message?  Pun intended.

Speaking of attacking the messenger, local radio boy and Ru$h Wanna Be, gets the award for the headline of the week:  Kathy Peterson tried to punish WVNN for nailing her.  Be sure and check out the sidebar for a list of WVNN's  advertisers and sponsors. Ru$h to the exits. Pun intended.

Why Ru$h thought he could get away with calling a young, white woman a slut and a prostitute is beyond me.  Now if he had called Shirley Sherrod, Sonia Sotomayor and President Obama racist, criticized Michelle Obama's weight,  or, mocked Malia Obama  that would have been all right.  Snark intended.


"One of the things we can't do is, we can't let them distract from what we're all about, and what we're trying to accomplish. We're trying to keep the focus on comprehensive, universal health care reform, and they're going all over the place. They are desperate, uh, they don't have leadership, uh, they really don't know what to do, and so, I think we're going to continue to see a lot of crazy things happening, like all of the, uh, outrage that has been demonstrated at these town hall meetings, like the kind of statement that Congresswoman Jenkins made, and let them define themselves, let them reveal who they are. The American public needs to see that."~Representative Maxine Waters (D.CA)

Change Will Not Be Televised

Does this look like hundreds of marchers to you?  Me either.  I 'll bet if it were a bunch of TeaBaggers calling President Obama a Socialist, yelling they were going to take their country back, the Alabama media would be all over this important story.  But no. They choose to minimize and marginalize the story, out of sight out of mind.

Organized by Reverend Al Sharpton, thousands of marchers crossed the  Edmund Pettus bridge  in protest of archaic immigration and voter suppression laws passed by James Crow, Jr. Esq. and Company.



Forty Seven years ago, Civil Rights activist Viola Luzzio said "We're going to change the world", little did she know, we are still marching, still fighting, still being smeared, for trying to change the world.

Unfortunately,  Change will not be televised.  But it will be written about.
