On MSNBC last week, Democratic Party strategist Karen Finney blamed talk radio king Rush Limbaugh for the fatal shooting last month of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch captain in a mixed neighborhood in Florida.
Limbaugh, along with Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney, "reinforce and validate old stereotypes that associate the poor and welfare as criminal behavior with African Americans and people of color, calling us lazy, undeserving recipients of public assistance," Finney said.
In the Trayvon Martin incident, Finney claimed "those festering stereotypes had lethal consequences."
One might ask how Finney knows that Martin's half-Peruvian killer, George Zimmerman (whose photo suggests he's a person of color himself), listens to Limbaugh or has been affected by the candidates' speeches.
As in ex-Rep. Gabby Giffords' shooting last year, this is a case of a Democratic mouthpiece accusing foes of their big-government schemes of murder. So much for President Obama's call for civility in political discourse.
But Finney is just one manifestation of a new war aiming to silence Limbaugh and like-minded talk radio hosts. After Limbaugh several weeks ago used rude words to describe a Georgetown law school feminist activist who wants taxpayers to finance her contraception, the Los Angeles city council last week entered the realm of government censorship of the airwaves.
By 13-to-2 vote the L.A. City Council called on "management of radio and television stations in Los Angeles to do everything in their power to ensure that their on-air hosts do not use and promote racist and sexist slurs over public airwaves in the City of Los Angeles."

Yet.
Of course, everything can be blamed on talk radio.
Muslim African logic.
Yep. Except he was lying even then. It’s likely grandma and grandpa were Marxists just like Ayers’ parents. Hardly “typical.”
Here we go.
That’s a sweet looking chile, there, on the right...
Sarah, you know full well that the EPA has strict regulations concerning the introduction of untreated human waste into the water supply.
Ed Schultz is is a complete and total waste of a human. He is also so filled with his own waste that his eyes are a dark brown and his ears probably leak.
Have you considered the effect on the fish?
No, clearly we cannot encourage him to jump in a lake. An outhouse, septic tank or sewage treatment facility is clearly the proper place for him...and then he’s still pollute it.
;)
“That’s what Jesse Jackson did when he admitted he was relieved to see the kids following him were white.”
I remember that; think he’ll even admit he ever said that? He also used to call abortion “genocide”; I think he was much more sincere back then.
“Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are hoping and praying for a black on white war.”
They wouldn’t benefit from that; their whole scam is pretending that they are protecting whites from black anger (imagine that!). In the event of such a conflict (which will never happen), whites would simply deal with the armed blacks, and wouldn’t need “ministers” to do it.
In the end, along the lines of Stalin’s quip about the Pope, how many hoodies do Jackson & Sharpton have?
The answer? 0
“This kind of crime happens in and around Detroit every *WEEK.*”
Newark NJ had gotten pretty bad, too; Mayor Booker was p!ssed off because the teachers union had plastered “STOP THE KILLING” all over billboards & buses when they set new murder records a couple of years ago - it didn’t fit the perception he wanted to present that it was safe for whites (or anyone) to be in Newark after dark. Some of the shooting were in broad daylight anyway; people in the suburbs around Newark know it isn’t safe any time. Mass police presence makes some parts safe some of the time, but it is sketchy and usually based around entertainment events.
I assure you there will be an election in November; even Lincoln had to run for re-election during the Civil War.
Any attempt to cancel elections would be justification for Americans to shoot any government representative on sight (including law enforcement).
This was the girlfriend that was on the phone with Martin. So why didn't Martin just tell Zimmerman what he was doing? and where his house was?
Talk radio? What a joke.
Google ‘Gangsta Rap’ and listen and watch a few videos if you can stomach them. There you will see and hear the reason these kids are killing and getting themselves killed.
I think the father needs to come clean about why his son was kicked out of school.
I read he is/was 6’3” and slim.
Democrats are projecting again.
Trayvon’s Facebook page says “ made nigga, Waters Ave”. What does that mean?
Answering your a.m. reply. Star Parker hit on something that I hadn’t thought of. She compared black conservatives to runaway slaves, and the reaction to them from other blacks stems from fears of the ostracism that comes with being conservative. The runaway slaves, when recaptured, were stripped naked and beat in front of the whole group of slaves as an object lesson. So if you dare to be a black conservative you will be treated like Clarence Thomas and nobody wants to go through that. That is why black conservatives are persecuted in public. Democrats make sure that the “slaves” understand the lesson that they dare not leave the plantation.
Hannity needs to put Star Parker next to Williams whenever he comes on.
Maybe then I won't change the channel.
If you look at the large, self-important, metropolises of the Northeast and West Coast, I'd venture to say that your statement should read "some MOST people will actually fall for her cr@p keen insights."
I’m sure that peaceful elections are what the majority of Americans want.
If violence breaks out to intimidate the older White population into staying home for their own safety, then violence should be met with violence and should be the reason to outlaw communism under any name or description.
We should throw them out from our schools, government including intelligence, military, etc. and put them in jail.
The bloodshed MUST have a price tag.
Yeah, well, President Clinton blamed Rush Limbaugh for being an instigator of the bombing of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City, almost 20 years ago, and Rush is still on the air. These screeds will be just as effective.
LOL!
