Via Steve M at No More Mr Nice Blog comes the news that Rush Limbaugh, Great & Powerful Oz of the Republican Party, has declared that Republican white males are - wait for it - an oppressed minority! No. Really. They are. Honest. And I know he's being honest because he opened his diatribe announcement with the words, "You know what my problem is, folks? I want to be very honest."
If so, it'd be the first time. But about that "oppressed minority" deal....
Conservatism is an oppressed minority today. The Republican Party is an oppressed minority....If ever a civil rights movement was needed in America, it is for the Republican Party. If ever we needed to start marching for freedom and constitutional rights, it's for the Republican Party. The Republican Party is today's oppressed minority...

I'm an enlightened individual, and an enlightened individual is one who seeks truth.
Well. Um. I'm not sure what to say about this. What do you say when somebody does a better job satirizing themselves than 3 Mort Sahls and a passle of Aaron Sorkins?
OK. I just thought of something
Lemmings of the World, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your claws!
Of course what this was about, really, was - TA DA! - Sonia.
Why when they opposed Clarence Thomas did they not suffer one loss of a black vote? Why? And yet the Republicans have been made to believe, in their currently extinct status, that opposing Sonia Sotomayor simply because she's Latina will ruin their chances for the Hispanic vote, a vote they don't have anyway and a vote they're not going to get this way. They're behaving like an oppressed minority. Whatever their masters tell them to say or do, not say or don't do, they say or don't say, they don't do. They are entirely compliant. They're obedient. The Republican Party today is totally obedient. Now, there are some exceptions. We got some great conservatives in the House. I'm talking about the old guard, country club blue-blooders that are trying to define the party and run it. They're obedient. They are so obedient that many of them endorse and vote the Democrat candidate. That's how obedient they are to their masters. They have mastered the art of thinking and acting as oppressed minorities who are not interested, by the way, in emancipation or freedom.
Rush hath spoken! Those Pubs who are against their party committing suicide are cowards and wimps! They're tools of the Satanist Usurper/Anti-Christ Nigger in the White House! They are NOT Real Americans! (Like him.)
Can the word "traitor" be far behind? We know what he thinks of "oppressed minorities". He hates them. They're un-American because they can't seem to claw their way up from the gutter conservatives threw them into. He hates them because they need help, even though they need that help because people like him keep boots on their necks. He hates them because they're not rich. But most of all he hates them because they don't listen to (and obey) him.
What we are seeing is a process psychologists call "transference". Rush, as the Supreme Leader of the Republican Party, is transferring his hatred of the underclass to those of his prior coterie who are insufficiently obedient to his orders and insufficiently respectful of his decrees on GOP Dogma.
They better watch out. Heads could roll. Theirs. Ask Michael Steele.
