Can America have rational fact-based discussion about race or any other major issue?
Most Americans wanting to have a rational discussion about Mike Brown's murder and the killing of young unarmed black men and boys by police won't know what's blasting from the 1000 coordinated radio stations that lead the Republican propaganda operation.
And they don't know how much those radio stations parasitize professional and college sports and its black athletes. More than 28% of racist Rush Limbaugh stations rely on the sports programs of our publicly funded colleges for community credibility and advertising revenue.
Republican radio reaches 50 million people a week and will continue to attack the "thug" Mike Brown and his supporters and make excuses for Darren Wilson and prosecutor/defense attorney McCulloch for the foreseeable future. That will go on as long as the Republicans find it useful. They have that control. Just like they did with Trayvon Martin. I heard it this afternoon from the local talker on my local Limbaugh/Savage station.
They are the same stations that egg on mayors and police departments to crack down on protestors. Like they did with Occupy Wall Street.
The Republican higher-ups like race related violence. It's good ammunition for their racist blowhards on radio and Fox TV. It ramps up the fear that increases the value of the unchallenged certitude authoritarians need to sell lies. It's why they waited for nighttime to announce the injustice.
Michael (aka Savage) Wiener is a regular on hundreds of those stations. I recently recorded about 6 minutes at the start of his November 19 show and got his take on Ferguson. He starts with President Obama and his executive order on immigration and equates him with Cambodian genocidal maniac Pol Pot's use of "street garbage" to relate him to the rioting Wiener hopes for. The same way Limbaugh hoped for black on white violence in post Katrina New Orleans.
Barack Hussein Obama said he is going to act within the law. Moussolini said he was acting within the law when he violated the law. Hitler said was that he was acting within the law when he needed some living space for the Germans.
Pol pot did it legally. That's the mountain of human skulls in Cambodia. It started with a nice professor in Cambodia who went to Paris to study Marxism. He came home a dictator. He arrested everyone the middle class, everyone with eyeglasses. He elevated the street garbage in Cambodia the street garbage who never went to college, who never went to high school, who never went to grade schools. The street garbage in Cambodia were elevated to the leadership positions in Cambodia. They were 13 14-year-old thugs, does it sound familiar, and they were given red scarves, red scarves, to wear so they could be part of this identified gang under Pol Pot.Limbaugh (and maybe others) have suggested Obama organized the recent influx of young Central American refugees as part of a strategy to bring in diseases like ebola, increase the number of Democratic voters, and form a secret (brown) army/gang.
And they started to arrest the entire middle class architects- doctors, lawyers, teachers, social workers, dentists, anyone with eyeglasses was considered a counterrevolutionary under Pol Pot, the mild-mannered Marxist professor who work came back to Cambodia and started to institute what he said was fairness- policies of fairness. He said that the Cambodia had been taken over by a parasitical middle class and they just want to make things fair and so he unleashed 13 of 14-year-old garbage on the middle class along the lines of Ferguson. Yes I'll say all go online and say the garbage in the streets of Ferguson, they don't work. Tell me what they do for living. They’re parasites on society. Tell me how people can be in the streets for months at a time without any known source of income and not be called a parasite. Explain that to me. Tell me how you can explain that to me. So if you think there are no parallels in history that means you do not know your history and you condemned to repeat it.He goes on:
demonic man in the White House
dictator
gangs in the streets being run by all of the social activists
street rats
the vermin in the street
what they do best which is selling drugs or whatever they do to make a livingThen in typical reality-denying hypocrisy, he blames Obama for our crumbling infrastructure, schooling system, poverty, unemployment, health care, etc....
He's creating the America that he and Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama and the other four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse are creating- a new America right in front of your eyes...At least 28%, or more than 170 of Limbaugh's stations, depend on major 'liberal' university sports programs for community credibility and ad revenue. I don't know how many of Wiener's do also. Many of those stations probably couldn't survive without those relationships, especially after the heroic work from the StopRush and FlushRush crew who are being doxxed by iHeart/Clear Channel.
Parasites? The talk radio gods use our public schools while they attack teachers, students, and public education and try to defund it so it can be privatized. Talk about parasites.
Three of the major publicly funded universities in Kansas and Missouri broadcast sports on 11 stations that headline Rush Limbaugh. University of Missouri lets Limbaugh ride the Missouri Tiger on 7 stations, the Kansas State Wildcat on 3 stations, and the Kansas Jayhawk on 1 Limbaugh station.
How many cops hear this stuff from radio stations endorsed by our major universities? These stations are often the loudest stations in local or national emergencies.
Police and soldiers around Ferguson might think differently about what Limbaugh and Savage are saying if communities and students made it clear it's not okay for a bunch of racist, misogynist liars to ride their sports mascots.
What if America's professional and college athletes refused to be used to sell the racist Republican propaganda?
