Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh has raised the cockles of whiny liberals after saying Beringians should not complain about their holocaust because they now have casinos.

Limbaugh On "Holocaust" Of "Indians": "They All Have Casinos. What's To Complain About?"
Reply
Rush got back from the Jay Leno day off by picking up on the right-wing-drummed-up kids-sing-for-Obama nonstory. Rush said that it was impossible to overstate the impact this would have on parents. Then Rush got sidetracked over a comment made by FireDogLake.com's Mike Stark on MSNBC, in which Stark criticized Rush for calling "Obama a Nazi." Rush was in his usual denial mode:
LIMBAUGH: I did not call Obama a Nazi; I called him a fascist. I said Pelosi called all of us Nazis. And what I did was I compared Obama's health care policies to the Nazis' health care policy. You know, the Nazis did a lot of things besides the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the last thing they did, but stuff leading up to it, I mean, Obama could have written the playbook. Health care -- they tried the same thing. I mean, they were National Socialists; that's what the Nazis were.
Let me just emphasize the second half of that remark, as it appears to contradict his already-false claim that he "did not call Obama a Nazi":
LIMBAUGH: The Holocaust was the last thing they did, but stuff leading up to it, I mean, Obama could have written the playbook. Health care -- they tried the same thing. I mean, they were National Socialists; that's what the Nazis were.

What's more amusing about this article is the ignorance of the author as well as his own thinly veiled racism. He claims that the Kenniwick man proves that Europeans came before Native Americans and the Clovis spear point technology predating the clovis barrier is somehow proof that Europeans were in North America first.

Let's start with Kenniwick man. Kenniwick man has features similar to Europeans, however, this by itself is not conclusive that he was from Europe. His origins remain a mystery. Further more, the existence of one skeleton of a man who may have been caucasion is hardly proof that Europeans were the first to colonize North America, it only proves that a few may have been here. Secondly, the clovis barrier has long since fallen as the furthest point back in history for the Arrival of native Americans to the Americas. There is evidence of habitats going back 35 thousand years in South America and the consensus among scientist today is that there were two major waves of migration to the Americas separated by the Clovis barrier. The author assumes since a few spear points were found in Colorado dating from 13 thousand BC, these must have been left by Europeans without any evidence or skeletal remains left of those who made them. He just naturally assumes that the white men must have done it which implies he believes Native Americans were too stupid to have made stone tools in `13,000 BC. -

Rush is such a moron. First they were talking about Holocaust that happened in South America. The Indians with casinos are here in America, North America. Rush must not ever had to pick up a compass before. Second, by justify the deaths of 90 million of natives Americans by allowing them to have casinos is udderly rediculas. It would be like telling the Jews to shut up about the Holocaust because U.N. gave them Isreal back.

Some how the trash Limbaugh spews is jutified by the large amount of listeners he has. The only thing it tells me is how sad it is that so many people listen to that garbage. -
