Dear MoveOn member,
Rush Limbaugh has gone too far with his attacks on Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute" and suggesting she post video tapes of herself online having sex.
Rush Limbaugh's radio show is a part of the Clear Channel lineup, and it's time that they no longer allow Rush Limbaugh to spew hateful and derogatory comments. That's why I created a petition to Clear Channel on SignOn.org, which says:
Sandra Fluke, a law student at Georgetown University who was advocating for health insurance plans to cover the cost of contraception, became the target of a series of attacks by Rush Limbaugh. Besides calling her a "slut," he also called her a "prostitute," said that he wanted her to make sex tapes and post them online, and speculated that she only had a problem paying for contraception because she was having "so much sex." We who support Ms. Fluke find that this is a serious offense committed by Mr. Limbaugh, and we ask that his radio show be terminated.

Mbaguzi na mpenda Madawa ya Kulevya Rush Limbaugh amtukana General Colin Powell
Mbaguzi Rush Limbaugh
Sijui kwa nini kuna watu hapa Marekani wanaomwambudu Rush Limbaugh. Huyo Limbaugh ni mbaguzi kupindukia na mlevi wa madawa ya kulevya. Hafichi kuwa hapendi watu weusi, lakini analipwa mamilioni ya dola kila mwaka kuwa na kipindi kwenye redio.
Jana, mara baada ya kusikia kuwa General Colin Powell, kampendekeza Barack Obama kuwa rais, Limbaugh alisema kuwa Powell alifanya hivyo kwa vile Obama ni mweusi mwenzake. Alisema hivyo ingawa Powell alitoa sababu nyingi za maana kutompendekeza John McCain, sababu moja ikiwa kuwa alimchagua Sarah Palin kuwa naibu wake na hana uwezo wa kuongoza nchi.
Sijui kwa nini huyo Rush Limbaugh hajapigwa na radi bado! Ana roho ya kishetani!

Limbaugh defends comment about Powell
Posted: 01:55 PM ET
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) - Conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh Monday strongly defended his recent remark that Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama largely because of race, and lashed out at members of the media and Democrats for appearing to take issue with his comment.
"So what if it's race?" Limbaugh said on his radio show. "Why is it so hard to admit that it's race.What's so problematic about admitting it?"
Limbaugh's original comments came in an email to Politico reporter Jonathan Martin Sunday, when the talk-radio host took issue with Powell's contention that his endorsement of the Illinois senator did not have anything to do with the color of his skin.
"Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race," Limbaugh wrote in the e-mail. "OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."
The comments immediately caused a stir on several Democratic blogs and an Obama campaign spokeswoman called them "disgusting." They were also heavily reported on several news programs Sunday night and Monday morning. But Limbaugh made clear Monday he is not backing down from them.
"I thought it should be about race," he said. "I thought you liberals thought this was a historic candidacy because finally we are going to elect a black guy.why hide behind this, why act like it's not about race?"
"This was all about Powell and race, nothing about the nation and its welfare," Limbaugh added. The talk radio host also criticized members of the media for not addressing his claim that Powell likely hasn't endorsed white candidates who, according to Limbaugh, have similar political leanings and experience as Obama.
"Just so you know, I haven't come up with any," he said. "I worked diligently on this on the airplane on the trip home from Green Bay yesterday. I can't find any of these inexperienced white liberals that Powell has endorsed."
In announcing his endorsement of Obama, Powell said his decision was not based solely on race, but added "I can't deny that it will be a historic event for an African-American to become president."
"Should that happen, all Americans should be proud - not just African-Americans, but all Americans - that we have reached this point in our national history where such a thing could happen," Powell said on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday. "It will also not only electrify our country, I think it'll electrify the world."

Senator Hillary Clinton Afufuliwa! - Uchaguzi 2008
Majuzi watu walikuwa wansema kuwa ni bora Senator Hillary Clinton, ajitoe katika mashindano ya kugombania urais wa Marekani. Hiyo ni baada ya Senator Barack Obama, kushinda katika states 12 mfululizo.
Jana Senator Clinton alishinda states za Ohio na Texas ambazo zina wajumbe wengi watakao piga kura katika mkutano mkuu wa Democrats mwezi Agosti. Hao ndo wanampitisha mgombea. Pamoja na ushindi wake Obama bado ana kura nyingi.
Kwa kweli sijafurahi hizi wiki mbili zilizopita kuona jinsi Mama Clinton alivyochafua jina la Obama. Mara aseme hawezi kuwa na uhakika kuwa si mwislamu. Na alifanya hivyo maksudi kwa vile alijua waMarekani ni waoga na waislamu baada ya mashambulizi ya 9/11. Halafu walifufua ile picha aliyopiga Kenya amevaa nguo za kiSomali mwaka 2006. Na kuna maovu mengine ambayo kampeni yake ilifanya.
Naomba mjue kuwa ubaguzi bado upo hapa Marekani. Hasa katika hizi states za Kaskazini. Sijui kama mlisikia yaliyotokea jana huko Ohio kwenye maeneo ya weusi. Weusi walijitokeza kwa wingi kupiga kura lakini walishindwa. Mfano, sehemu moja walikuwa na kura 50 na watu 300 walijitokeza. Hivyo watu wengi walishindwa kupiga kura. Ilibidi watu wa Obama wamwombe jaji aamuru shemu za kupiga kura zikae wazi kwa saa moja zaidi ili watu wapate nafasi ya kupiga kura. Matatizo kama hayo yalitokea hapa Massachusetts kwenye maeno ya weusi wakati Gavana wetu, Deval Patrick, alivyogombania.
Pia huko Ohio kulikuwa na matatizo kibao, hitilafu za mashine, matishio ya mabomu na mengine.
Halafu washenzi kama Rush Limbaugh, waliomba marepublicans wampigie Senator Clinton kusudi Obama asishinde. Alisema Clinton akishinda basi atazidi kumpaka matope Obama. Siasa bwana!
Leo, Hillary anadokeza kuwa kama atachuguliwa kuwa mgombea wa Democrats atamchagua Obama kuwa running mate, yaani makamu wake. Sijui kama mimi ningekuwa Obama ningekubali maana huyo Mama Clinton ameonyesha ana ukatili ndani yake. Yuko tayari kufanya chochote ili ashinde.
Pia Bush akiondoka January 2009, ataacha nchi na hali mbaya sana ya kiuchumi na kila kitu. Ambaye atashinda atakuwa na kazi kubwa mbele yake. Mungu ambariki atakayeshinda.
