Limbaugh attacks Obama for thanking Native Americans on Thanksgiving

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh took to airwaves Wednesday to blast President Barack Obama for thanking Native Americans for their part in Thanksgiving.

In a Thanksgiving day proclamation on the White House website, Obama declared, “This Thanksgiving Day, we reflect on the compassion and contributions of Native Americans, whose skill in agriculture helped the early colonists survive, and whose rich culture continues to add to our Nation’s heritage.”

“…at their casinos and on their reservations,” Limbaugh added as he read the president’s words.

“This spirit brought together the newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe — who had been living and thriving around Plymouth, Massachusetts for thousands of years — in an autumn harvest feast centuries ago,” Obama’s proclamation also said.

“So, we were the invaders,” complained Limbaugh. “We were incompetent idiots. We didn’t know how to feed ourselves so they came along and showed us how and that’s what Thanksgiving is all about.”

“This has got to be parody,” Limbaugh said. “Somebody is toying with me. Somebody is seeing if they can get one past me. Somebody is trying to take advantage of me being not as focused on the day before Thanksgiving and falling for this prank.”

“He says nothing about the Constitution in his Thanksgiving Day proclamation because he’s got a problem with it,” Limbaugh claimed.

“Every cliche that is wrong about Thanksgiving shows up in his proclamation: The Pilgrims showed up at Plymouth. The Indians have been their for thousands of years. We get off the boats. We don’t know how to feed ourselves. The Indians show us how,” he explained.

“Is it possible [Obama] believes it,” Limbaugh wondered. “I don’t doubt that he believes it.”

“Obama believes this nation is fatally flawed since its founding, even before its founding.”

Then Limbaugh took credit for exposing the truth about Thanksgiving to the world. “I know that a lot of people did not hear the true story of Thanksgiving until I wrote it in my book in the early 90s,” he said.

The conservative radio host then welcomed a caller, David, who thanked Limbaugh for the historical perspective that he provides.

But the caller offered a slight correction to Limbaugh’s attack on the president. “You may be reading too much into it to say that Obama is perpetuating the entire myth,” he said. “I wouldn’t put it past him.”

“No!” Limbaugh exclaimed. “[Obama] said that Thanksgiving is about the Indians saving us… The true story of Thanksgiving is how socialism failed. Of course we showed them gratitude. We shared our bounty with them. Not because we didn’t know how to make it. It’s because we first failed as socialists. Only when we turned capitalists did we have plenty. The Indians didn’t teach us capitalism.”

“We do illustrate absurdity by being absurd here and those that forget that quickly can lose their minds,” Limbaugh concluded.

Obama isn’t the first president to thank Native Americans in Thanksgiving Day proclamations.

President Ronald Reagan’s Thanksgiving proclamation noted that the Native Americans taught the Pilgrims “so much.”

On this day of thanksgiving, it is appropriate that we recall the first Thanksgiving, celebrated in the autumn of 1621. After surviving a bitter winter, the Pilgrims planted and harvested a bountiful crop. After the harvest they gathered their families together and joined in celebration and prayer with the Native Americans who had taught them so much. Clearly our forefathers were thankful not only for the material well-being of their harvest but for this abundance of goodwill as well.

In 2000, President Bill Clinton also mentioned Native Americans in his proclamation.

“Sharing in God’s blessings is at the heart of Thanksgiving and at the core of the American spirit. At Plymouth in 1621, the Pilgrims celebrated their first harvest in the New World thanks to the generosity of their Native American neighbors,” Clinton declared.

This audio is from The Rush Limbaugh Show, broadcast Nov. 24, 2010. The clip was first caught by Mediaite.

    Will someone tell the hillbilly heroin, viagra addict the year Pilgrims arrived and the year the Constitution was written. I think it would be about 200 years apart. There would be no way the Pilgrims could ever predict the American Revolution. There would be no way the Native Americans could predict their plight when the first boat from Europe arrived.

    I agree with the comments so far. My question is why is it that people are so afraid of facing the real history of their country? Nearly every nation on Earth has something about its history that is ugly and we are no exception. I guess many would rather be stupid hyper-patriots (which I consider fake) than be real Americans who can love their country enough to challenge it on the bad stuff in order to move it to be the place we’d like it to be.

    Rush has no business using the word “We” to group himself with the original Pilgrims. The Pilgrims were LIBERALS escaping the oppressive CONSERVATIVE religious moral legal system of England. By genetic nature it is a liberal trait to explore new possibilities. Conservatives always take the safest path to comfort and survival.

    The European settlers and founders of this country were not the usually arrogant blue-bloods that founded other empires. They were people who were capable of experiencing shame over their own actions. Unfortunately, excessive shame tends to lead to a criminal attitude for some reason. It causes the ashamed to cover things up in a way that resembles what cats do when they finish their business.

    The trick used by conversational gorillas like Rush, O’Reilly and everyone else in the conservative talk radio jungle is that they rarely ever have a second person in the studio. A worthy sidekick seems to be something that only liberal talk shows can tolerate. Even better would be having three people there to counterargue any subject really good on everything they say. Of course, since most people don’t know the rules of debate, including the fact that one guy speaking does not an argument make, they think that what Rush is doing is more than just blowing hot air into space. He only takes callers on Fridays. Hannity will shut you down with 60 seconds. There’s no debate in their shows. Bob Grant lets people speak, but most of them are right wingers like him. People do call Alan Colmes to insult him, but at least some back and forth interaction does happen on his show.

    Finally, outside of comedy, monologues are for dictators. You cannot interrupt a dictator without taking into consideration that it may just be your last act on earth.

    This was for Tom Stossel but it works just as well for Limbaugh:

    Either you are the most ignorant ill informed American on Earth or you re a shameless fascist corporatist propagandist shill or more likely both.

    As if the first Thanksgiving hasn’t been patriot-ized, and white-washed and revised and dumbed down and cartoonized enough for the American people, now you are going to rewrite it so it fits Fox’s outdated 50s red-scare anti-Obama partisan political attack narrative?

    If the Saints (as the Pilgrims called themselves, others called them Separatists) dabbled in Communism it was an experiment and due to necessity. They came from a society deeply indoctrinated in trade, commerce and capitalism. At the time the sun never set on England’s commercial empire and one of the largest companies the world has ever seen, the British East India Trading Company was at its height at the time. If you are stranded on a life-boat with a few people about to starve, you ration out the food equally, I’m not sure that treating each person’s right to life equally is communism, I thought that is what our country was founded on. “All men created equal,” “The right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and all that?

    You know who were communists? Native Americans! And very successful ones at that. It is only in small closely knit communities with strong traditions, culture and family structure that communism works. As we have heard they believed no one can own the sky, the wind, the earth, the great Creator gave it to everyone and everything. No one owned the food the hunter brought back or the women grew, it belonged to the tribe, and as long as you contributed to the tribe the best you could, you shared in deserving the food. And if you didn’t pull your weight, community and family pressure and society shamed you into doing whats right, and if you still chose not to contribute your share, you were greedy, you steal, you cheat, eventually the elders would banish you from the tribe, which is essentially a death sentence to try and live alone in the North American wilderness.

    Which brings us to the Saints/Separatists/Pilgrims who, despite a better harvest, were still most likely going to starve no matter how they shared the food, and who would certainly have starved if not for the help of the Communist Natives in the previous seasons. When Stossel quotes Henry Hazlitt who gives no source at all that “Some even stole, despite their Puritan convictions” maybe he is referring to Saints/Separatists/Pilgrims when first arriving who robbed the Native Americans graves and cleaned out their corn granaries.

    Just a few days after landing, a party of about 16 settlers led by Captain Myles Standish followed a Nauset trail and came upon an iron kettle and a cache of Indian corn buried in the sand. They made off with the corn and returned a few days later with reinforcements. This larger group “found” a larger store of corn, about ten bushels, and took it. They also “found” several graves, and, according to Mourt’s Relation, “brought sundry of the prettiest things away” from a child’s grave and then covered up the corpse. They also “found” two Indian dwellings and “some of the best things we took away with us.” (William Bradford’s Mourt’s Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, p. 28.) There is no record that restitution was ever made for the stolen corn, and the Wampanoag did not soon forget the colonists’ ransacking of Indian graves. (“The Saints Come Sailing In,” in Dorothy W. Davids and Ruth A. Gudinas, “Thanksgiving: A New Perspective (and its Implications in the Classroom)” in Thanksgiving: A Native Perspective, pp. 70-71.)

    The fact is the Saints/Separatists/Pilrims were celebrating a VERY meager “feast” when they shot their muskets off into the air. According to Edward Winslow’s letter of 1622, The Massasoit showed up with 90 men fearing an ambush or war. When they understood it was supposed to be a feast, taking pity on the starving foreigners, the Communist Natives out of the goodness of their hearts went out and shortly returned with five deer and lots of turkeys.

    This allowed the Saints/Separatists/Pilgrims, whether communist or capitalist, to live on to visit the worst holocaust on Earth upon the Native Americans.

    This really show the true colors of Stossel and Fox, on a singularly American Holiday when all Americans should be able come together and be thankful for the small graces we have, Fox and Stossel sow discord, strife and conflict among their fellow Americans!

    These conservatives see socialists behind every tree. Now they have to go back 400 years to somehow claim thanksgiving is a celebration of the end of a two year experiment with socialism. Really?

    I was surfing by and caught Stossel’s explanation. That the failure of the pilgrims in the first two years was because some people were not willing to work as hard as others but expected a full share.Thus the failure of socialism. No mention of the fact that they landed several hundred miles north of their desired location in the middle of a worse then normal winter with little food supplies, great sickness and the loss of half of the group to death and equipped with 1600′s technology. That had nothing to do with it I guess.

    The callers to Rush’s show are very carefully screened to make certain that they won’t confront him with any awkward questions, and in the rare cases that they get through, he hangs up on them. Most people aren’t aware that he was on television for a short time and failed badly, as he didn’t have adequate control of his audience (the way he does on radio) and was incapable of debating audience members about his bizarre assertions. The man is a fraud, and he blusters constantly to cover it up. There’s a good reason that this hypocrite consumed so much oxycontin that it destroyed his hearing: insecurity. He’s nothing but a hollow shell, so fragile that he needs the constant protection of his screeners.

    “The true story of Thanksgiving is how socialism failed”

    just insane….

  • yvonneo

    Limbaugh said, “The true story of Thanksgiving is how socialism failed.”

    And then we have John Stossel falsely blaming socialism for the “near-failure of the first Thanksgiving.” (That he would make this claim is absurd considering the whole reason there was a “Thanksgiving feast” to begin with was due to the bountiful harvest the Pilgrims and the Indians achieved through mutual cooperation.)

    And now Todd Akin (R-MO) is reported as saying that the Pilgrims “came here with the idea that after trying socialism that it wasn’t going to work. They realized that it was unbiblical, that it was a form of theft, so they pitched socialism out. They learned that in the early 1620’s.”

    Is it merely coincidence that these three stooges all decided at the same time to distort for political purposes the historical narrative by asserting that the Thanksgiving holiday is really about the Pilgrims’ rejection of socialism–never mind that the political concept of socialism didn’t even exist in the 1600s? Not a chance. It’s seems more likely that this is a coordinated attempt to deliberately distort a significant event in our nation’s history for political gain only.

    So what’s next? Are the republicans now going to politicize Christmas by making some absurd claim that Christmas was really about god’s rejection of socialism? Will they now claim that there is an 11th commandment from god to embrace capitalism and reject socialism? These people are pathetic.

    The GOP has become a blight on our nation and I absolutely loathe them for the damage they are deliberately inflicting upon our culture, our society–in general, our entire way of life.

    “Every cliche that is wrong about Thanksgiving shows up in his proclamation: The Pilgrims showed up at Plymouth. The Indians have been their for thousands of years.”

    My! My! My! Where does one begin! First off rush, you must have volumes of psych books written about you. You must be filled with such self loathing that you feel you need to strike out at every race, religion, sex to make yourself feel better. You are such a sad pathetic man, your psyche so delicate, that you have such hatred for anyone who isn’t like you, because even though you have made an incredible amount of money and certain amount of success you still feel the need to denigrate all of those around you. You are such a tragic little [ emotionally speaking] man, if the things you are saying weren’t so hateful and damaging I would almost feel sorry for you. But because you spew such vile words like projectile vomiting, it is impossible to have feelings for you other than disgust! I feel sorry for you wife. I wonder if she realized what she was really getting into.

    WE MUST STOP LEGITIMIZING/VALIDATING INCOMPETENTS, LIARS, THIEVES AND CON ARTISTS BY ACTING LIKE THEIR “VALUES” ARE, BY ANY MORAL OR LEGITIMATE STANDARD, WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION!!!

    The idea of reducing political polarization makes sense, but I believe that reaching out to disparate opposing groups of opportunists, mercenaries, corporatists, racists, teabaggers, birthers, deathers and egomaniacal self-consumed career politicians/media hacks is more self-defeating than judicious.

    If Obama fails to get reelected, his good intentions might very well have been his and our undoing. Sometimes, you have to accept the unfortunate reality that “reasoning” with the irredeemably corrupt and or irrational is not a viable option.

    I believe that appealing to the “better angels” of people who believe what Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Steve King, James DeMint, Rush Limbaugh, Haley Barbour, Sean Hannity, Michelle Bachmann, Rand Paul, Saxby Chambliss, Jeff Sessions, Karl Rove or Rupert Murdock “tell them to believe” is a complete waste of time, energy and political capital.

    I genuinely feel that believing that today’s Republicans are “reasonable” or “honorable” is a form of intellectual INSANITY.

    We must AGGRESSIVELY REJECT their CORRUPTION and DISHONESTY and IMMORALITY rather than take them SERIOUSLY.

    We must STOP trying to be politically correct and or open minded about the HEINOUS words, motives and tactics of INCOMPETENTS, LIARS, THIEVES and CON ARTISTS.

    Shame on today’s deviant breed of Republicans for their PATHOLOGICAL NAIVETE and INCORRIGIBLE IGNORNANCE.

    “But about the 16th of March a certain Indian came boldly amongst them and spoke to them in broken english which they could wel understand but marvelled at it. At length they understood by discourse with him that he was not of these parts but belonged to the eastern parts where some English ships came to fish with whom he was aquainted and could name sundry of them by their names amongst whome he had got his language. He became profitable to them in acquating them with the many things concerning the state of the country in the eastern parts where he lived which was afterward profitable unto them. As also of the people here of their names number and strength, of their situation and distance from this place and who was the cheefe amongst them. His name was Samaset he told them also of another Indian whose name was Squanto, a native of this place who had been in England and could speak better english than him self.

    Being after some time of entertainment and gifts, dismissed, a whiel after he came again and five more with him and they brought again all the tools that were stolen away before and made way for the coming of their great Sachem called Massasoyt who about four or five dayss after came with the chiefe of his friends and other attendance with the aforesaid Squanto. With whom after friendly entetainment and some gifts given him they made a peace with him.

    After these things he returned to his place called Sowams some 40 miles from this place, but Squanto continued with them and was their interpeter and was a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation. He directed them how to set their corn, where to take fish, and to procure other commodities and was also their pilot to bring them to unknown places for their profit, and never left them till he died.”

    From the journal of William Brewster, head of the pilgrim colony, writing a first hand account how they got their asses saved by native Americans. Rush should swing from a fucking tree.

    But isn’t that the core problem with Rush and the right-wingers in general? History, facts, truth.. these things matter not to the Dark Side.

    If these people were in charge 10,000 years ago, we’d still be living in caves and beating our clothes against rocks.. *thinks about the deep south for a minute* I guess some places still have people like him in charge, and the rest of the world, a few hundred years ago, started paying attention to facts (science) and evolved. These people are still superstitious cave dwelling morons who happen to also live in our intellectual and scientific present.

    sorry for the delayed reply davewtf, but unlike you, i have a life. mountain biking in the morning and then off to the boat. what did you do, watch the big game while your fat wife brought you chips and beer. what a loser. but i digress. let me get this straight, you are a very intelligent guy. ok why would a very intelligent guy not go to college on a scholarship or grant? or since you are so intelligent surely you could have figured a way to get a good job to pay your way through college.dave wtf i suspect you are not very intelligent. joining the army could have risked your life or worse yet, you could have killed innocent women and children that you military types are like to do.no davewtf i suspect you are a low grade moron that knows how to type.i think that name suits you well, davewtf, probably what most people say to you all day as you are screwing things up. and no you didnt call me a republican, you labled me as a conservative, which in most peoples minds isnt associated with any other party, you imbecile read your comments, idiot. and now to whats going on, do me a favor retard, google the uss liberty incident, the levon affair, and the bombing of the king david hotel. if you know how to read you might get a clue to whats going on.i seriously doubt that you will be able to connect the dots, but if you can, there might be some hope for a tard that joined the army to go to college. btw, in case you are wondering whats up with my screen name, its a tahitian name. you can look up the meaning if you want. tahiti, which im sure you never heard of, dont know where it is, and will certainly never visit, is a place where i spend a month every year. also i was very impressed that your daughter could type with both thumbs, i trained a chimp to do that once. perhaps that was your daughter i trained?

    oh one more thing davewtf, i do agree with you on something. that joining the army was the best thing you ever did. from what i understand, it was joining up, or jail. at least you did something right.

    And yet you understand so little!

    At least you make me laugh, so even if you are an idiot, you are a useful idiot ;-)

    Man oh man, at least you can make me laugh. I appreciate that.

    Actually, this morning I tried to sleep in late. Yesterday I went and jogged 8 miles. Legs still hurt from it, but I appreciate the pain.

    Why didn’t I go to college on a scholarship? Cause I wasn’t ready for college when I turned 18, and my father couldn’t afford to send me and all my siblings to college. So I did the smart thing and joined the military to mature some, get money for college, and figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Thanks for asking ;-)

    Yup, I labeled you a conservative. Of course, Obama is a Conservative Democrat, so there are other than conservative republicans. Ah, trying to “give me a clue” as to what is going on. As if I don’t already know what is going on in this world.

    Don’t care about your screen name, any more than I care about you. I bet you are the type who tries to figure out why so few people actually do care about you and your causes. Not difficult to figure out.

    Nope, I’ve never visited Tahiti, and it is not on my list of places to visit, although some day it may be. No biggee, I’ve visited, and will continue to visit, plenty of other countries.

    BTW, my daughter is WAY out of your league. And my wife? Way out of my league. I married better than myself, and I am proud to say it. And I am quite the accomplished man, so that is saying something :-)

    BTW, face it, you lost. You have proved yourself to be nothing more than an immature little shit. First you tried to imply that I was gay (as if that matters), then you insulted my wife and my daughter. Grow up, grow a pair, and understand that you need to engage on the issues. As soon as you resort to insults, you lost.

    No one gives a shit about you or your opinions. Most people that deal with you simply consider you an immature little shit, not worth dealing with.

    yes davewtf, you are quite an accomplished man. and quite an intellect as well. probably great looking, great shape, married of of your league. wealthy i would imagine. probably 6 foot 4 210 pounds. zero body fat. all of the things a typical internet troll would say. quite accomplished at the art of bullshit. nobody real talks about themselves like you do. dude, ill bet money youre a fat slob with a monster fat wife. the jig is up. go to your next victim troll. im done playing with you

    Limbaugh is engaging in pure racist, revisionist propaganda. Actually, the story of the first Thanksgiving is an indictment of religious fundamentalism. No matter how much these people want to rewrite the story, the Pilgrims were a group so strident in their cult-like view of Protestantism, that the English crown was only too glad to get rid of them. It’s not like the crown gave the Pilgrims any help – they didn’t even have any farm implements or fishing tackle. Imagine sitting next to Cape Cod, with cod and lobster jumping out of the bay, starving to death while praying to God to make the whole place a paradise. Where they should have been thinking out their mission, preparing carefully and arriving ready to survive in a new ecosystem, these extremists were sitting around dying, and depending on the bewildered Wampanaug to bring them food just to get through.

    Imagine, a group of fundamentalists declaring that God will give them everything they need, but ending up essentially on welfare from their more realistic neighbors. Does this have any parallels to the tax-surplus producing blue states and the red states on the government teat to pay for their higher-than-national-average levels of poverty, unemployment, teen pregnancy, obesity, chronic disease, and more? I leave it to you to decide.

    There is absolutely nothing in the historical record to support Limbaugh and Stossel in their claims of a “War on Socialist Thanksgiving.”

    I really like the style of the website. I had a peek at your source code, hope you don’t mind, to check what theme you are using. Is it it a no cost theme or do I have to purchase it?

    1st of all let’s get one thing straight: in the 16th and 17th, and well into the 18th century, the primary form of economy in the world and in the colonies which would become the United States was NEITHER capitalism NOR Socialism. It revolved around the master-apprentice system, a derivative of the guild system of the middle ages and the Renaissance. Capitalism was originally posited by Adam Smith in the 18th century, long after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.
    Second of all, how did the system of sharing fail catastrophically? Every colony lost a majority of their inhabitants the first year or two because the environmental challenges and diseases were different from those in Europe. It obviously wasn’t that catastrophic, because they SURVIVED didn’t they? Tell that to everyone who disappeared from Roanoke.
