Fear of a Brown Planet: Rush Limbaugh Resurrects the Brown Immigrant Boogie-man
Submitted by Southern Shift on Tue, 2010-03-23 06:44 Authored by Davey DNow that Healthcare Reform has passed the next fault-line in the political landscape is Immigration... Not immigration which has suddenly allowed thousands of people to some how come over from Russia and populate places like Brighton Beach, Brooklyn...

Pimp of the Week... Rush Limbaugh
Submitted by Southern Shift on Thu, 2010-01-14 13:40 Authored by Davey DThere’s a nasty stereotype about Americans that unfortunately gets reinforced from time to time by people who personify the ugliest of traits.

We should not be suprised or intimidated by how vocal that opposition is. We have our own troops in large numbers.

Her announcement, which came on Monday August 17th and had a barrage of harsh criticisms for Perry, kicks off a five day state wide speaking tour.
