Posted on March 20th, 2010 - By Bossip Staff

The media has rallied to support 11-year-old Marcelas Owens, after Rush Limbaugh and other right wingers levied a hostile verbal attack against the boy, who recently took to the nation’s capital to show his support for President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform bill. Owens’ mother died three years ago of pulmonary hypertension after losing her job and her health insurance. Pop the hood for video coverage. Continue

    Rush has no limit to his hatred.

  • Littleenglander

    Man, some of your politicians REALLY do not like the fact they have a Black president or BLACK people living in the USA for that matter.

    The only thing I can say is that God hears all and sees all.

  • spokenword

    This society is so racist and having a black president really shows how much so.

  • hotbeaver69

    if bush would have had health care reform instead of starting a senseless war, his mom might still be alive. rush limbaugh stinks

    I need Jesus to help me hold my tongue. Lord I pray for this man, because he is going to be one sorry person before he leaves this earth.Now this is someone who clearly worships the devil

    You people really are quite humorous. Look at the reality of the statement that Rush said and ask yourself “Is it true?” You’re damn right it is, cold-hearted yes, but true nevertheless. Silly liberals :)

    @jon
    Please get a clue, this has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. It’s about someone being insensitive to a child who lost his Mother.

  • Gimmeabreak78

    I am an Obama supporter, but I think his failure in the health care debate has been that he hss failed to clearly articulate its details to the American pulic (especially the more controversial aspects, abortion, death panel rumors, etc.). Most people don’t know what or who the health care bill covers and then you have both sides, liberals and conservatives, making stuff up as they go along (not to mention all the conspiracy theorists who think everything is a covert Illuminati operation).

    That aside–the fact that Rush Limbaugh decided to call out an elementary school student about the death of his mother is deplorable. It’s not even as if he was just generally making the statement that the boy’s mother would have died anyway. He seemed to be taking a perverse pleasure in telling the boy that directly because Obama’s health care bill supporters have rallied around him. For that, I hope he chews on a grenade and dies.

    OBAMA NOT BLACK

    @ real black is chocolate
    Obama is the devil sh’t

  • Dani Rai

    I know i’m going to get hate for this but Rush was right (no matter how mean it sounded) obamacare want happen til 2014 and the kids mom wouldn’t hvae made it.
    My big questions are who is going to pay for all this health care?, why are people using kids to get what they want?, and with so many other problems going on in this country why is giving people something they can’t afford such a big deal?
    It’s you can afford health care than get health care.

    ask yourself this. With tens of dozens of schools across America closing down why isn’t Obama worried about than?

  • Keisha

    Adults should not be arguing with and disrespecting children. I don’t care if you’re a democrat or republican. Ridiculous. I can’t take anybody seriously that feels that if you don’t see something how they see it then you’re and an “idiot”. Please learn how to debate your point of view with facts and realize people have a right to believe what they believe.It’s the American way. Thanks.

  • RiotGirL

    I don’t believe this child’s show of support for healthcare reform was an attempt to prevent his mother’s death- but, his upstanding acknowledgement that healthcare reform is needed (based upon what he witnessed happen with his mother). Had it been available for his mother, maybe her outcome would have been different. Instead of adults demeaning this child, more should applaud and heed his activeness instead of being sideliners and criticizers.

  • RLB

    I really don’t care about if party people are with, this health reform is the the worst thing that could happen to the United States. This president is using his authority to force people to take this bill? What ever happened to letting the people choose what we want. This is communisom and he should work for the people not the other way around where he is going to do whatever possible to force U.S. citizens to take this horrible health car.

    Glad i live in the UK……..when it comes to free healthcare.

    PS: The far right also mentioned that his mother had him at 16years old……

  • Wellhung

    I cosign with Somali Ninga.

    Rush upsets people because the truth hurts.

    If Obama were a white man named George none of you would support him taking over health care and you all know it.

    Color Blind Fools!

  • ManchesterUKer

    I will never understand how American government can just let people die just because they don’t have the money to pay for healthcare. NHS ftw

    This ultraconservative is the new Hitler. He and his buddies preach nothing but hate against anyone who dares to disagree with “his” sick agenda. There are a lot of white people who would like to see this sicko move to the moon, and I’m one of them.
    God will wait for him and judge his venomous mouth.

  • mark davis

    What was truly cruel is liberals parading an 11 year old before Congress for their own selfish needs. By the way his mother received excellent care at no cost. Better care than she would have received under this future health plan. If this plan is so wonderful and will save so many lives. Why does it no go into effect until 2014. So yes his mom still would have died.

  • brian

    This country is so racist! People voted for Obama because of the color of his skin. They wanted a “black President” more than anything else. We have instituional racism known as affirmative action. White, European Christians are not allowed to enter the U.S. in any significant numbers as a result of the bigoted 1965 immigration and national origins act. Race based ethno-centric groups exist for all races with the exception of whites. Free speech has been elimainated since “hate crime” legislation censors people’s words. And if a white person stands up for themselves. They are considered racist! I think it is time to secede (again) and return to segregation since it is a no-win situation for whites in the USA!

  • Reimel34

    I’m reading all the claims of racism on here and it cracks me up. Most of the posts on here wreak of ebonics. Do you people know grammar? Im not perfect with grammar either but geez. Plus don’t feed me this BS how the white man is so racist. Whites are the true minority these days in this country and blacks play the race card every chance they get. Be it some that actually do work hard for what they have and pay for their own health care and they have actually stood up and opposed Obama’s plan. Which is nothing short of a step into complete socialism. The real truth is race has nothing to do with this. Its the fact that lazy blacks,whites,Mexicans etc will now have their healthcare paid for by the hard working people of this country. Why should I or anybody who has worked hard in their lives be forced to pay for someones healthcare who has been lazy and not worked for what they have. I cant stand republicans or democrats. But this liberal socialist bill makes me hate the democrats even more now. You people that are for this bill really have no clue and our contributing to the ruin of this country. I almost feel sorry for you. To be so blind and have such little knowledge. I couldn’t even imagine. I don’t care for Rush Limbaugh either. What he said was harsh but true. People in this country these days don’t want to work for nothing they want everything handed to them by the expense of others. I leave you with this quote and take it to heart.

    “I predict future happiness for Americans
    if they can prevent the government
    from wasting the labors of the people
    under the pretense of taking care of them.”
    ~ Thomas Jefferson

    Hey Somali Ninga,
    You might want to take a look at your Dr. Betsy when she was on Jon Stewart. He took her to task on exactly what you were talking about, and she didnt have a clue. So I guess that makes two of you. Think Obama’s a Nazi?How sad.
