Lets Not Rush to Any Conclusions; We’re Smarter Than That

Rush Limbaugh Uses Innocent Detroiters As Show Pinata | From Crooks and Liars

Welcome to Chuuch – Today’s Sermon is all About Lies and Whys’

As we listen to this almost one year old taped clip; we wonder what was on the mind of producer Kitt Carson, and as well Rush Limbaugh when they decided to put this highly doctored clip into their arsenal of bull-ish.

knowing the full context of the clip helps to explain it; as well as to clarify some of their sidebar bs :

Early in 2009 in much of the U.S. – the Economic Stimulus plan included assistance for energy rebates.

in many cities around the U.S. people lined up and queued for many hours to complete the paperwork, to get their energy rebates.

the energy rebates helped people coast of coast to keep their heat on in wintry climates like New York, New Jersey, DC, Detroit and even Montana; yet the clip they chose to highlight; is only one short clip of a full 2 minutes that were obtained from people waiting in the crowd, who were clearly speaking in a jovial manner. instead they transformed this clearly good natured line chat, into a racist soundbite.

This was done Purely for the purposes of Racism, and denigration of a population on the financial brink of collapse. this is not acceptable, at all. where is the FCC when it comes time to hand out fines for Racism and Race Baiting on Radio and Television ? oh we forgot they’re still studying Ms. Jackons’ TaTa’s.

this type of sensationalism fits neither the journalism mode for news or comedy. it can only be defined as what it exemplifies – “Racist Dribble”. Why Not Be Honest and Reveal the Complete Context of the Recording Folks ?

why not reveal the entire clip and let us see the people queueing all across the country, and as well those who asked for help; instead of just the people who showed up in Detroit ?

personally we take alot of this as stupidity because we know the entire story. yet there are those who see this and transform it into their platform; solely use it for racist admonition against one group purely.

Black People, Are Not The ONLY Poor People RUSH

The Face of Poverty is the Face of America - Not Just Blackfolks are Poor, incase you think that’s the case.

there are more White people on Welfare in America than the combination of minorities together. this has always been the case and will probably always be the case; since white folks are the majority population in the United States. that makes it clear by the population studies conducted by the US Census, and Last Years’ exhaustive polls to determine the make up of America, Politically.

This is a clip from the local paper – The Detroit News:

Detroit Police 2nd Deputy Chief John Roach said 150 officers on the scene got a handle on the situation. “There was some pushing and shoving, and some people have fainted,” Roach said. “Given the fact that we have 15,000 people down there, I’m surprised things have been as orderly as they are.”

It was difficult to estimate the crowd because lines snaked all through the convention center and outside along the building and down the parking ramp along Cobo Arena to the river. One police officer estimated the crowd at 50,000.

More than 25,000 applications were snapped up in less than three hours Tuesday at Neighborhood City Halls. That day, Karen Dumas, a spokeswoman for Mayor Dave Bing, said some people mistakenly believed they would receive cash on the spot.

“That is totally untrue,” she said. “There is a process.”

Response had been so great that Detroit police and fire officials considered shutting down the process because of the volume of people.

Kelley Turcotte, a Detroit dishwasher, was near the end of the line around 10:30 a.m. today. The 27-year-old just had a son and said he is only squeaking by on his bills.

“I hope the government sees this and realizes the city needs a lot more help than they are giving,” Turcotte said.

Luis Irizarry, 35, drove from Flint for the chance he could get assistance. He later found out only Detroit residents are eligible. He said it was a shock to see this many people in need.

“This is ridiculous,” Irizarry said about the thousands who showed up.

Tony Johnson came at 5 a.m. Johnson has not found a job in three years.

“If I could win the mega lottery, I’d be tighty-iddy. I wouldn’t be here,” Johnson said. “But there’s no peace ’cause there ain’t no jobs. Everybody’s looking for the freebie, the hand-out. They don’t count me as unemployed ’cause I ain’t drawing a check. It’s like I don’t even exist. But I do. Look around. There’s thousands … millions of us.”

Dan McNamara, president of the Detroit Firefighters Association Local 344, was looking down from his office window across from Cobo.

“This absolutely is representative of the struggling middle class in America,” he said. “We’ve been betrayed by the government, Realtors and those who’ve got. The promise has been broken.”
