Sarah Palin should appreciate Native Americans more

From Fecebook

Rush Limbaugh’s always on top of the pile. He’s ahead of issues, including this one where he gives a heads up that Coach Ditka may actually get fired for exercising America’s First Amendment:

Nothing should surprise us lately; but when the Politically Correct Police bust Ditka, they hope the silent majority will cower under leftist control. My goodness, Ditka merely spoke his mind. This accomplished and esteemed coach knows there are big issues to be addressed in America today; there’s no intent to offend by referring to a team by the name they’ve proudly worn since day one and chose with pride in our native ancestry and obviously had absolutely no intent to insult; and the liberal media’s made-up controversies divide our country. The government’s intent to force any owner of anything, in this case an NFL entity, to change a name is the antithesis of the American way of working through differences. Ditka said he actually likes the Washington Redskins, and he’s a man full of commonsense and admired patriotism. Still, I must disagree with Coach Ditka after reading his full statement:

“What’s all the stink over the Redskin name?” Ditka said. “It’s so much [expletive], it’s incredible. We’re going to let the liberals of the world run this world. It was said out of reverence, out of pride to the American Indian. Even though it was called a Redskin, what are you going to call them, a Proudskin? This is so stupid it’s appalling, and I hope that owner keeps fighting for it and never changes it, because the Redskins are part of an American football history, and it should never be anything but the Washington Redskins. That’s the way it is. It’s been the name of the team since the beginning of football. It has nothing to do with something that happened lately, or something that somebody dreamed up. This was the name, period. Leave it alone. These people are silly — asinine, actually, in my opinion.”

He thinks the name should always be Washington Redskins, as a source of pride? Take the word “Washington” out and I’ll agree the team name is a great source of pride.

Several things here Skanky:

Washington DC was named after George Washington, father of our country, so was the state of Washington where your mother is from.  So yes Washington is a source of pride.  Then there was George Washington Carver, Booker T Washington.

Even though Ditka was an NFL player and coach, he doesn't know shit about the NFL history:

 The city of Boston, Massachusetts, was awarded an NFL franchise on July 9, 1932,^[6] under the ownership of George Preston Marshall, Vincent Bendix, Jay O'Brien, and Dorland Doyle.^[6] They were given the nucleus of the defunct Newark Tornadoes^[7] which folded after the 1930 season and was sold back to the NFL; although none of the members of the 1930 Newark Tornadoes roster^[8] remained by the 1932 Boston Braves roster.^[9]

Initially, the new team took the same name as their landlords, the Boston Braves, one of the two local baseball teams at the time. The Braves played their first game on October 2, 1932, under the leadership of coach Lud Wray, against the Brooklyn Dodgers, to whom they lost 14–0.^[10] The next week, the Braves recorded their first win, beating the New York Giants, 14–6.^[11] Despite the presence of two rookies; halfback Cliff Battles and tackle Glen "Turk" Edwards — the new franchise's losses during the first season reached $46,000 and Bendix, O'Brien, and Doyle dropped out of the investment, leaving Marshall the sole owner of the Braves.^[12][13] The team moved to Fenway Park^[14] (home of the Boston Red Sox) the next year, and Marshall changed the name to the "Redskins" apparently in honor of then-coach Lone Star Dietz,^[15] a Native American (he claimed to be part Sioux, but his actual ancestry has been challenged).^[16] A 1933 news article quotes Marshall as saying that he did not name the team in honor of Dietz.^[17]
Dietz's first year as coach in 1933 was unremarkable, and the Redskins finished the season with a 5–5–2 record.^[18] However, one impressive feat during the season was Cliff Battle's performance against the Giants on October 8, 1933, where he rushed 16 times for 215 yards (197 m), and scored one touchdown and became the first player ever to rush for more than 200 yards (180 m) in a game.^[19]

What can you expect from Ditka, he is a Republican.

The only reason Limbaugh is bringing this up is because he is still butthurt over ESPN firing him 11 years ago.  When they first hired him for NFL Countdown I boycotted ESPN until he left.  That boycott lasted four weeks.

Skanky you should be more sensitive to Native Americans.  Your husband is one, your three daughters are, and so are your grandkids.  BTW did Track get his health care from the Native Health Service even though he was not fathered by Todd?

Rush Limbaugh makes me puke

From MSNBC

In the wake of Rush Limbaugh calling birth control activist Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute,” thousands of women who feel personally stung by the attack have risen up to respond.

Throughout the day Friday, it was impossible to keep up with the thousands of Tweets about Limbaugh, virtually all critical. “Somehow only NOW catching up on the Sandra Fluke v. Rush Limbaugh drama,” one woman posted at around 6 p.m. ET. “Wish I hadn't, because now my head is going to explode. Wow.”

By Friday evening, Fluke had more than 15,000 Twitter followers.

Fluke, a Georgetown University law student, had testified during an unofficial Democratic committee hearing about how a friend had been unable to pay for the birth control needed to shrink ovarian cysts and help preserve her fertility. Fluke had been previously blocked from testifying before a Republican-led, all-male congressional panel on contraception and religious freedom.

For his part, Limbaugh argued Friday on his radio show that “Republicans don't hate women, are not at war with women, and never have been. It's absolutely absurd.” He expressed surprise that many considered him a danger to women. “At the end of the week, I am the person that the women of America are to fear the most?” he asked listeners. “What can I do to the women of America?”

Galvanize them, perhaps. On its website Friday, The Feminist Majority Foundation launched a pledge drive entitled “”Stand with Sandra.” Eleanor Smeal, president of the nonprofit organization and a former president of the National Organization for Women, called Limbaugh’s comments “nothing more than name calling and trying to distort the issue."

Even if women wanted to respond in kind to Limbaugh, Smeal told msnbc.com, there aren't nearly as many loaded words for men as those so often casually used for defiant women.

Janet Hyde, the Helen Thompson Woolley Professor of Psychology and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, says such name-calling “is a method for exerting power and control over women.”

If that was Limbaugh’s goal, Friday’s tweets suggest he failed. “I'd love to know what Limbaugh’s wife thinks about his recent tirade,” one woman wrote. “I bet she's too busy holding aspirin between her knees to comment.”

Limbaugh’s call for the posting of videotapes of women who use birth control went beyond sticks and stones, though, says Kathi Miner, an assistant professor of psychology and women’s and gender studies at Texas A&M University, who described the notion as “a form of sexual violence.”

The president of Georgetown, a Catholic Jesuit institution, defended Fluke’s right to express her views without fear of attack. “This expression of conscience was in the tradition of the deepest values we share as a people,” John DeGioia wrote in a letter posted on the university’s website. “One need not agree with her substantive position to support her right to respectful free expression.”

And yet, DeGioia said, citing Limbaugh, some people who disagreed with Fluke’s position “responded with behavior that can only be described as misogynistic, vitriolic, and a misrepresentation of the position of our student.”

Being a woman I'm offended by him. He has the right to say whatever he wants but I have the right to call him out on his remarks. FUCK YOU RUSH LIMBAUGH!

Rush looks like the type who needs Viagra and a Playgirl magazine to get an erection. I do encourage everyone to contact his show's sponsors to complain. It may get him off the air like it did for Glenn Beck at FOX.
