"Rev Lowrey insulted all white people today" -the right wing meme on talk radio this afternoon
Heard this on 2 different shows, once from a caller and the second time from a host. Apparently they were offended by his line that asked for the white folks to get it right.

Well as long as we have white supremacist groups, idiots putting up racist billboards criticizing Obama and (on a larger scale) segregated communities, then the white folk ain't got it right.

The right wingers also thought Obama's speech was well delivered but lacked substance. Makes you wonder if they even bothered to listen.

4. I hope we have a discussion about putting a leash
on intellectual dishonesty. limbaugh and hannity would shrivel up and blow away if they had to be honest and truthful.

Just finished the last book by Rheta Grimsley Johnson, she was sad about the fact racism still exists and stated, they used to call them Ku Klux Klansmen, they now call them Young Republicans.

14. Well, if the issue is immigration, or affirmative action, I agree the two don't seem that different.
:shrug:

6. They said the same thing after Coretta Scott King's funeral...
:eyes:

...when it's not ALL about them (and their bigoted ideals), and they have to listen to some old, black preacher who dares to speak for love, "diversity" and America being for everyone (not just the wealthy and most priveledged)...they're going to get pissy.

8. I'm white. I wasn't insulted. I thought Rev. Lowrey was spot on.
Matters not. History is passing the haters by, and they are becoming more irrelevant by the hour.

The rest of us are moving on, looking forward to a better future for all of us.

9. This white boy replies: "Hate radio can SUCK IT!"
Rev. Lowery was inspiring and uplifting -- even to this white atheist! Lowery is a great, patriotic American, unlike, say, Rush, who is rooting for America to fail.

10. First of all, IF they listened they wouldn't understand a thing he
said anyway. They are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, you know.

12. No, they don't listen to whole things in context, they only hear excerpts out of context and
Edited on Tue Jan-20-09 04:43 PM by Kashka-Kat
interepretations fed to them by the likes of O Reilly, Hannity Limpbaugh, etc.

Its been their modus operandi all along. Take words out of context and make your opponent look as rediculous and evil as possible.

A lot of these people (some of my relatives for example) literally accept no other sources of information except these far-right propaganda dissemination shows - they won't even watch the usual mass media like CBS news or CNN or whatever because that is the evil so called "liberal" media.

18. As someone who grew up with racist family members all around...
...I have to say, I agreed with every word Rev Lowrey said. I thought he was spot on.
