Top Ten Rush Limbaugh Racist Statements

The following are actual comments by Rush Limbaugh. There is something we can do about it. We can complain directly to the companies that sell advertising on his show. We can also boycott the same products or institutions he promotes with his hateful, abhorrent speech and behavior. (Source: Take Back the Media.com)

See the next post for his advertisers and their address. It past time we hit him where it hurts...his wallet.

1. I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

2. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

3. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?

4. Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela - who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.

5. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

6. The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.

7. They're 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?
Decent human beings care Rush. Someone out of that 12% may just become President of the United States. Not caring about black people? Even George Bush wouldn't admit to that.

8. Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).

9. I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn't deserve.

10. Limbaugh attacks on Obama. Limbaugh has called Obama a 'halfrican American' has said that Obama was not black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya.

Symptoms of Renal (Kidney) Failure - Part II

There are three stages of renal failure:
· Acute renal failure;
· Chronic renal failure; and
· End-stage renal failure.
The kidney cannot filter the waste and water adequately in any of these stages, but the severity of the condition varies widely. End-stage renal failure is the last stage of chronic renal failure and often requires dialysis or kidney transplantation as life-saving measures.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF RENAL FAILURE?
Renal failure typically causes nausea and vomiting, along with other symptoms that depend on the stage.

Paying attention to the symptoms of acute renal failure is crucial. The condition can be fatal if it is not diagnosed and treated within days. Symptoms may include:
· Greatly reduced urine output;
· Drowsiness and headache; and
· Back pain.

Chronic renal failure, which develops slowly, can have vague and sporadic symptoms. Typically, the syndrome begins with a feeling of weakness and a loss of appetite, followed by:
· Frequent urination, especially at night;
· Pale, itchy, and easily bruised skin;
· Shortness of breath;
· Persistent hiccups;
· Muscular twitching;
· A sensation of pins and needles in the hands, feet; or other areas and
· Leg cramps.

End-stage renal disease, a severe illness, produces noticeable symptoms, such as:
· Greatly reduced volume of urine;
· Swelling of the face, limbs, and abdomen;
· Severe lethargy;
· Headache;
· Furry tongue;
· Very itchy skin; and
· Breath that smells like ammonia.

National Kidney Disease Awareness Month - Part I

Kidney Functions:

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs that lie on either side of the spine in the lower middle of the back. The primary function of kidneys is to remove waste and excess water from our blood.

In other words: Kidneys filter your blood. They remove wastes and extra water. When the kidneys are diseased, they stop doing these jobs and wastes build up, damaging the body. If not treated, kidney disease can lead to kidney failure.

Kidney disease high risk groups: people with high blood pressure, diabetes are family history of kidney failure. If you belong to one of these group, experts recommend frequent kidney testing and doctor consultation.
