RUSH. "We had a PARADE OF MINORITIES . . . Now, why didn't that work, folks?"

[Care Acutely]

"The usual suspects are out, and they're saying, 'Rush, we gotta reach out now to the Hispanics and reach out to the minorities, blacks.' Okay, let me remind you of something. Let me take you back to the Republican convention," he said. "We had Suzanne Martinez, female Hispanic governor, New Mexico. We had Condoleezza Rice, African-American, former secretary of state. Both of those people eminently qualified, terrifically achieved. They have reached the pinnacles of their profession. We had Marco Rubio. We had a parade of minorities who have become successful Americans. And they all had a common story: up from nothing, hard work, their parents sacrificed for them."

"Now, why didn't that work, folks? The answer to that is our future," he continued. "Why didn't it work? Some people say, 'Well, Rush, we pandered.' No, we didn't pander. Everybody says that we need to reach out to minorities. We have plenty of highly achieved minorities in our party, and they are in prominent positions, and they all have a common story. They all came from nothing. Their parents came from nothing. They worked hard. They told those stories with great pride. Those stories evoked tears. It didn't work."

Yeah "Murica! What's wrong with "you/those people?" You don't even appreciate a good parade anymore?




Please Rush, don't go changin' - we love you just the way you are! You're becoming one of the best campaigners the Democrats (and other sane people of the world) could hope for.

[liberal N proud]

1. Gee, I wonder!

[liberalmuse]

2. Because minorities aren't fucking props, Rush.

They aren't cardboard cutouts to snap a picture with. They're flesh and blood human beings with souls - just like you and me. Well, one of us...

[Care Acutely]

6. Amen - but that concept is beyond a guy who needs a personal assistant

just to help him remember what his wife's name is this month.

All human beings are objects to be utilized as needed.

3. Painting your face orange isn't minority outreach. nt

[Care Acutely]

7. I will miss Willard Orange Romney.

OK, I won't but, damnnnnn that was bad!

[valerief]

4. Parade of Minorities. Binders Full of Women. How odd. Dems just have people. nt

[baldguy]

5. It didn't work because the people recognize tokens when the see them.

Because policies that are designed to destroy those people are more important than the phony packaging the GOP dresses them up in.

[Booster]

8. Best answer yet. And they are not as stupid as the GOP thinks. Show them respect.

[laundry_queen]

14. BINGO nt

[progressivebydesign]

9. Geezus H. Does he NOT get it? So they have Binders of Minorities now??? nt

[xfundy]

10. I hope they never lose this stupidity.

The bare fact is that everybody's gotta be somewhere, and we all have to share the planet, and there are those who would rather blow up the freakin' planet than admit the above two statements are true.

F*ck 'em. The rest of us can get along and appreciate and learn from each other's experiences, and the planet gets infinitely smarter as a result.

[Care Acutely]

11. Yup. Open racism and rape apologists assure the continued defeat of the republican "party"

[Spirochete]

12. Yeah - whole binders full of them

right, Rush?

[rustydog]

13. This is why they don't get it. Repugnants believe if they strut their "tokens"

out there, they will get the vote....
