Rush Limbaugh hates Blacks: volume 100

Yeah I know, big surprise. But he once again crossed the line, parroting all kind of nonsense about Katrina victims in New Orleans.

Hat Tip: Crooks and Liars. With audio.

I want to know. I look at Iowa, I look at Illinois—I want to see the murders. I want to see the looting. I want to see all the stuff that happened in New Orleans. I see devastation in Iowa and Illinois that dwarfs what happened in New Orleans. I see people working together. I see people trying to save their property…I don’t see a bunch of people running around waving guns at helicopters, I don’t see a bunch of people running shooting cops. I don’t see a bunch of people raping people on the street. I don’t see a bunch of people doing everything they can…whining and moaning—where’s FEMA, where’s BUSH. I see the heartland of America. When I look at Iowa and when I look at Illinois, I see the backbone of America.

So many lies, so little time...
I'm not going to waste time debunking this scumbag's numerous Katrina smears, since there are plenty of websites like this one, this one, and this one too, that have already done that job. So, I'm going to focus on reasons why he's saying this blatantly racist slime.

Reason #1: To conflate his base of listeners who are already biased against minorities to vote against Sen. Obama in the fall. His "Operation Chaos" nonsense failed miserably (except maybe in IN), so he needs to prove himself relevant in the eyes of his GOP overlords. What better way to do that than to keep his bigot brigade riled up over the summer, ready to deploy into the voting booth to vote the entire GOP ticket? Look at all these code words "heartland", "whining and moaning", "backbone of America". You know damn well what these code words are implying.

Reason #2: He's a moron. Point blank, a moron. Ceder Rapids and Iowa are not New Orleans or the Gulf Coast circa 2005. FEMA knows better, or at least they're trying to act like they do. The Midwest floods aren't being caused by a Cat 3 hurricane. However, one thing the Rushes of the world tend to neglect is Bush's own negligence. Just like in New Orleans, Iowa's farming areas and eastern cities are protected from flooding by levees. And here, just like in 2005, the levees weren't maintained properly and are failing. Literally, failing. And why would they be failing, you ask? Where's the money going, you wonder. If you thought "Iraq" you're the winna! Ding ding ding!

Reason #3: He sure as hell can't point the finger at those who might be more responsible for the disaster; the titans of industry that so many of his ilk pander to. Big Oil, Big Auto, Big Ag, the major sources of carbon dioxide and methane which are responsible for Global Warming/Climate Change. Are these floods the result of climate change? Possibly. Will we see more such floods in the future? And what can we do to prevent or mitigate the next great disaster? See, you won't find answers to these questions amongst the Reich-wingers like Rush. It's too hard, too costly. And long as they're safe in their fortress of greed, surrounded by like minded fools, parrots, and Blackwater mercenaries, then why should they care about the poor farmers or poor residents of New Orleans?
And where's Sen. Obama? Filling sandbags. McCain? Picking up checks. Bush? Just now showing up.
