Group marches for ‘white civil rights’ after Limbaugh hyped bus beating as a hate crime against whites.
Group marches for ‘white civil rights’ after Limbaugh hyped bus beating as a hate crime against whites.
Hate radio host Rush Limbaugh recently cast a fight between three Belleville, IL schoolchildren — the two attackers were black and the victim was white — as what happens to “white kids” in “Obama’s America.” Even though police said the bus fight was not racially motivated, Limbaugh insisted, “We need segregated buses.” On Saturday, members of white supremacist groups marched in Belleville holding signs echoing Limbaugh’s rhetoric that said, “It was a hate crime“:
While a police sniper watched from the roof of the police station, 22 members of white supremacist groups, shouted obscenities and made obscene hand gestures. One man, who had a crew cut and wore a black uniform, told the crowd of onlookers, “Wake up white America!”
“We were out there to denounce the violence,” said Belleville resident Jason Bonn, who is a corporal with the National Socialist Movement, a group with a name similar to the Nazi Party of Germany during World War II. Bonn’s group is “fighting for white civil rights.”
Several spectators “booed the white supremacist rally and shouted ‘Go home.’”

Oh please stop.
It’s alreadyembarrassing enough being a white male…
September 28th, 2009 at 10:03 amAnd, of course, Rush will insist he had NOTHING to do with this — absolutely nothing.

Yeah, they’re denouncing the violence.
Righty Oh!
September 28th, 2009 at 10:06 amWTF? Are these people insane? “Woe the White Man”? These people don’t have a clue. As a White woman, I find this embarassing. Limpballs has finally went insane. What a joke.

– - Referencing a ThinkFast story from this morning, wouldn’t these people then have as their leader the Hitler-mustached Obama? Awwwk-warrrrd.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:08 amIs there a difference between the National Socialist Movement and the Republican insurgents?
September 28th, 2009 at 10:10 amThe Limbaughs and Becks of the nation will not be satisfied until they see riots, chaos and mayhem in the streets. They will blame it all on Democrats and Obama as they sit in their comfortable studios fomenting even more violence.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:10 amDo we have any statistical data showing that black kids beating up white kids on school buses has increased significantly since Barack Obama was elected President? Empirical data? Anecdotal evidence of any kind?
No. As far as I can see, this was an isolated case of a fight that broke out in a school bus over a seat. It’s not the first time such a conflict has happened, nor will it be the last. But that’s all it was.
Not that this will matter to those who will grasp at any fuel to operate their propaganda catapults.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:10 amGee, you mean there were real National Socialists out there denouncing “Obama’s America”?
I guess we can’t call Obama a “socialist” anymore, right?
September 28th, 2009 at 10:10 amSeveral spectators “booed the white supremacist rally and shouted ‘Go home.’”
– - Sadly, they are at home.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:10 amThe good news in all this is that these dolts were only able to muster 22 suckers to march. Proportionally, this is probably very representative of the insignificant size of Limpball’s audience; however, it is very representative of the lack of intelligence and the bias of his listeners.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:11 amWhy do Republicans hate America?
September 28th, 2009 at 10:12 amMissHCMolly,
Evidence? EVIDENCE?
They don’ need no stinkin evidence! They got Rushblather, that must make it true, cuz they’re effing dittoheads.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:12 amWhite america felt the same way when they outlawed public urination and forced people to wear motorcycle helmets.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:12 amIs MSM covering this story? So much for the pundits who claim that the anger against Obama ISN’T about race. ‘Wake up White America.’? That should be the Repugs rallying cry. See how many minorities and young people vote for them after this sickening display.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:15 amSchool kids have always established “territory” on school the bus– heirarchy on the playground — “cliques” of who’s in and who’s not. The hundreds of years, it was a minority kid, or a nerd who was ostracized. This time, the white kid was in the “wrong” seat, according to the kids’ rules, albeit ridiculous and hurtful.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:15 amYou’d think that kids never had a fight on a school bus before Obama became president.
Finally an answer to the question, “Where’s my parade?”
(Well, except for the gay one, and the Macy’s one, and . . .)
September 28th, 2009 at 10:18 amFrom Wikipedia -
“Since 1991, Limbaugh has had the most-listened-to radio show in the United States, with over 14 million listeners a week as of December 2008. In 2003, he peaked with an audience of nearly 20 million a week. However, public polls have shown that a majority of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Limbaugh. For example, in a March 2007 Rasmussen Reports poll, 62% of those surveyed had an unfavorable opinion of Limbaugh, while only 33% had a favorable opinion, a nearly 2 to 1 ratio that was, by far, the worst among the 18 journalists and media personalities included in the poll.”
If 14,000,000 people a week listen to limpballs out of a national population of 300,000,000 then thats 4.6 percent of the population listens to him. However small and “insignificant” that may seem, it takes only one of those 14,000,000 nut cases to pull a trigger and we have a “significant” problem on our hands. And what percentage of the nutcases who listen to Rush own/carry guns? My guess, living in the south, is that its quite “significant.”
September 28th, 2009 at 10:19 amYou young whippersnappers think of the 60s as a time of hippies, free love and lots of good drugs — all true, all true. But the early 60s in particular featured a highly visible Klan and George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party. No hoods to disguise them, and Rockwell wasn’t afraid to show up in his storm trooper uniform for rallies. Do not be surprised to see a more visible resurgence of White Power advocates–I believe a lot of them were ecstatic about Obama’s election because it gives them a great tool for recruitment: finally, the coloreds have sullied the White House. Wake up, White People!
In previous eras, the racists didn’t have national media feeding their frenzy.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:22 amWhen racism is gone in America, the Republic Party will be gone.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:22 amI think I have seen these marches before, except everyone was wearing sheets!
September 28th, 2009 at 10:24 amWelcome to Rush Limbaugh’s America.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:28 am“fighting for white civil rights.”
Yes , because we all know how rotten we’ve been treated for the past couple of centuries here………
Sheesh…………..
September 28th, 2009 at 10:32 amHeck, we had much bigger fights, police in the hallways, inside a de-segregated Dallas school way back in 1976, Lameblob.
Isnt El Flushbowl a little old to be egging on grade school fighting?
September 28th, 2009 at 10:37 amBus in the news?
1. Schoolkids fighting over a seat in the bus.
2. Health care reform thrown under the bus.
3. Rush Limpalls reaches size of a bus.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:44 amA few weeks ago, some of these same people were calling Obama a socialist and a Nazi. Shouldn’t these jokers be out there defending Obama? There’s a lot of hate festering in these people.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:47 amI’m curious, what did Oxybreath have to say about the murder of James Byrd?
Was that all part of “Clinton’s America”?
Mucking forons! Each and every one of these nazi-scumbags.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:48 amI note that Stormfront found it necessary to post drivel on the ThinkFast thread, but nary a word on this one.
I wonder why?
September 28th, 2009 at 10:48 ama corporal with the National Socialist Movement
a white guy??? (not to mention “corporal”… what’s with THAT???)
i thought it was the black guy who was a ’socialist’…
i’m so confused…
but not as much as those people…
September 28th, 2009 at 10:48 amMike Hunt says:
I absolutely agree with you regarding the significance of one incident which may arise from Limpballs’ nonsense. Unfortunately, it is as inevitable in the future as it is also true that it has already happened in the past.
My point, however, was that we should not fool ourselves into believing that Limpballs’ ideology is a dominant force in society. As for the size of his audience — it’s important to remember that this “head-count” includes anyone who may have listened to ten minutes of his daily rant-fest on any particular day. It also includes folks like me who will tune in just for sheer amusement value because he is such a bombastic, pathetic a**hole.
Still, it is true that morons like him, Seanie Vanity and Glenda BeckyBoy wouldn’t even be on the air if there were not a market for the perverse, bigotted and ignorant brand of controversy that they stir up ad nauseum.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:50 amOdd that the Fatso himself is now connected to the Socialists. I wonder how he will spin this one to soothe his own inflated ego. Also, Pus has connected the Reich Wing Republicans to the Nazis. Go Pus! Pus Phlegmball has created a problems for himself which can’t be treated with Oxycontin. Perhaps he needs to step to a real problem solver like crack cocaine.
By the way, Webster says that Pus is a “yellowish-white discharge produced by an infection”. How’s that for an accurate description of the boy?
September 28th, 2009 at 10:53 amNo GUTS!!! These groups have no guts at all. If they want to be taken serious then lets see them take this same type of march with Limbaugh leading them straight through Harlem.
Lets see the MSM follow that one!
September 28th, 2009 at 10:54 amBonn’s group is “fighting for white civil rights.”
___________
Sounds good to me. I’m all for that.
So you’re addressing the fact that as of 2008, 9% of non-Hispanic white Americans over 18 do not have a high school diploma? How about that median household income for whites declined by 2.7% between 2007 and 2008, or that 8.6% of white households are below the poverty line? Or are you fighting for the 10% of non-Hispanic white Americans without health insurance?
Those are the kind of civil rights you’re talking about, right?

Hitler was a corporal in WWI. He was RechsFuhrer in WWII, but still only ever a corporal. That’s what’s up with that.
September 28th, 2009 at 11:01 am“22 members of white supremacist groups…”
Cue FOX reporting on this true cross-section of the American people…
Cue Glenn Beck touting the thousands who rallied in Belleville to fight for their rights…
September 28th, 2009 at 11:02 amI thought Limbaugh didn’t believe in hate crimes.
The man is a white supremacist.
September 28th, 2009 at 11:05 amTP, thanks for changing your discription from a “school bus beating showing two African American children assaulting a white student,” to “a fight between three Belleville, IL schoolchildren.” Inflammatory wording isn’t helpful.
September 28th, 2009 at 11:06 amI wonder why the trolls aren’t here defending their Freeper buddies.
September 28th, 2009 at 11:07 amWhite supremacists echoing another white supremacists racial smears of the President. What a surprise
September 28th, 2009 at 11:11 amMeet the base of the Republican party. Personally, I’d much rather sit with Reverand Wright.
September 28th, 2009 at 11:18 amFrom what I have read, these clowns want to isolate all non-whites to internment camps and remove them from having any rights in America. Haven’t we been down this road before?
September 28th, 2009 at 11:19 amI’m sure that Rush was out there in spirit. Yes, the Repuglican party is filled with such hate mongers. Every repuglican should be proud to support their white constituent supremacist groups. Way to go Rush, lets keep polarizing America so that you dream of a lilly white nation can be achieved—NOT
September 28th, 2009 at 11:21 amI was agreeing with you, Tom!

September 28th, 2009 at 11:49 amZ, methinks they’re still getting their Rush/Steele/Beck talking points this AM, and Kreist knows their slowwwwww….
September 28th, 2009 at 11:52 amI’ve said it before and I will say it again. The hateful, racist, fear mongering rhetoric from the right is far more dangerous to our country than anything some Islamic terrorist organization may say or do.
September 28th, 2009 at 11:59 amPlease remove the following words from your vocabulary: hate, fear, envy, greed, and ignorance. Doing so immediately castrates the radical right. The TV and radio also come with on/off switches. When the world wants to know who the fluck is Rash Limpballs we will have succeeded. Beck? Malkin? Coulter? who the hell are they?
September 28th, 2009 at 12:04 pmw_cleon_skousen,
I am still waiting for you to provide a link to your license plate conspiracy or man up and admit you lied.
I am also waiting for you to propose your alternate hypothesis to disprove the theory of evolution.
I am also hopeful you will serve jail time for your death threat against the customers of a Starbucks.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:06 pmMike Hunt, Tom Baker;
Rush’s “20 million” “listeners” are a fabrication, based on on the crude statistic of the number of people who COULD be listening-in to the hundreds of stations that air is show.
There is no listener monitoring system in place for radio as there is for television with Nielsen.
Radio is very ‘portable’ and accessible throughout the day compared to television, and it’s not uncommon for small businesses (2-10 employees, I mean)to keep a radio on all day which COULD be tuned to right wing radio—or “easy listening”, or NPR.
So how many listeners might Limbaugh actually have?
Well maybe we could use O’Reilly as a yardstick.
O’Reilly manages 2 million plus for his TV show based on Nielsen.
Given the portability of radio that number could be doubled for Limbaugh, maybe tripled–though we can expect there would be overlap between daytime Rush fans and prime-time O’Reilly TV fans.
Ergo, for want of any actual data but just applying some logic, Rush;s actual audience might be in the 5-7 million range and perhaps as much as 10 million.
But it’s not the common audience numbers that are significant on their own,it’s the support and affirmation he gets from influential people that matters more—not just opinion makers but legislators and policy makers.
One hundred thousand votes don’t mean as much to a politician as $10,000 in campaign funds from a businessman.
Even if the vote is for say, segregation, the businessman’s for it, the politicians for it and the voters are for it, the contribution is going to get the job actually done more than 100,000 voters agreeing with the proposition.
We’ve seen this in the health care hoo-hah–most voters are for the public option but vested business interests are against it and politicians whose own constituents are FOR it, are still opposed to it.
Limbaugh’s listener figures are grossly inflated, but in the media and in politics, everyone makes their own reality, and working together they define reality for the rest of us, out of all proportion to their actual numbers.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:11 pmw_cleon_skousen,
You belong in prison. You pose a clear and present danger to the security of the United States of America.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:17 pmDon’t worry, everyone understands you perfectly.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:24 pmSorry about that.

Mr. Buckie Boy, I hope you’re not lumping me in that group…
…being the lump of human sh!t that you seem to be, then yes, you can be proud that you are a lump of sh!t subhuman moron.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:00 pmI was wondering how the blatant neo-Nazis would openly dovetail into the wacky wingnut “movement.” Shoulda guessed Rush would give them the opening.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:01 pmDo you know how fast the world is changing? Give it two more years. In 2011 when campaigning for 2012 offices this is all the GOP is going to have. Two years from now after denying us health care, jobs, infrastructure improvements, fighting against education, and the environment, etc. The GOP will be
dishing up more hate as if that’s going to do the job.
The only question is are we that stupid or are they that stupid?
September 28th, 2009 at 1:04 pmBeck will claim there was over 10,000 people attending the march according to a study done by the College of ….. I forgot.

WTF!!!!!!! All Right-Wing media types. Take them down now for the sake of the country.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:54 pmThe Republican Party IS the Nazi Party. Pass the word.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:56 pmActually the Republican Party is NOT the Nazi Party. The Republican Party is its own type of fascism. History has never before produced a fascist party quite like the Republicans.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:00 pmWow, #70, that’s a big slimy pile of racist bullshit. Written by someone else, of course.
And look at you little trollie – such a clever copy-and-paster!
September 28th, 2009 at 5:24 pmFunny, how the racists had no problem with the civil rights of minorities being denied in our country’s history for so long, but now they’re worried about their rights being taken away as if that’ll happen…Limbaugh loves people like you, because he knows he can rile your @sses up with bald-faced lies like this designed to bring out your victim complex…
case point, post 70…
September 28th, 2009 at 5:27 pmLimbaugh’s wrong on this issue. Obama has nothing to do with this incident.
It’s possible the incident has no racial component.
But, if you watch the video and reverse the roles (imagine the attackers where white and the victim black and the majority of riders white), it seems obvious to me, most people would suspect that the attack was racially motivated.

And it’s possible there is a racial component. But it’s Rush and not Obama that fans the flames of Racism to ensure this sort of event happens. It’s not Obama calling for Segregation – that’s racist Rush!
backup says:

Maybe because this country has a long history of racially motivated violence of white people attacking blacks?
This country has a long and sordid history of whites both publicly and privately prodding on racist ideology. The teabagging parties, literature, signage and attitudes is classic white power racism.
This entire response from Limbaugh and even yourself is no different than the scare tactics following the Civil War where whites were told that black violence, black racism, and black immorality was a threat to them. You’re a part of the problem backup, not the innocent bystander you pretend to be.
September 28th, 2009 at 7:47 pmthis is for: misscoleopteramolly, i find it funny that a white man is considered racist for using certain language, or opposing obamas screwball policy, but when a white kid gets beat up by two blacks with the rest of the bus, cheered, the bus driver attempting to do nothing is ok. almost like the kid deserved to get beat up. and most of the posts on this page reak with racism. what would u call it if it were your child getting the crap kicked out of him by a couple of blacks? hmmmmmm

Here’s a creepy thought.
If were are to accept that not all violence between Blacks and Whites is race based then we may also have to accept that not all Black people lynched in the old south were lynched because of race.
Remember mobs lynched white people too.
September 29th, 2009 at 1:39 pmSo you are all saying that if a white man attacks a black man the NAACP can call him a racest. But if a group of black men attack a white man he is only gettingwhat is coming to him? Personally I have never cared what race you are as long as you worked hard and stayed off of welfare.
