That\u2019s the idea of Daniel Kildee, to bulldoze part of the city. &#8216;Limbaugh said he would rather wipe out parts of the city than force taxpayers &#8211;&#8216; it\u2019s not my idea. Now, look, you got a local guy in Flint that\u2019s suggesting bulldozing it, who\u2019s getting the blame for this in the local Flint media, none other than I, El Rushbo. <\/p>\n<p>Then they quote me as saying, &#8221;All right, folks, I have thought about it, I\u2019ve given this considerable thought. I\u2019ve given this more thought in the last ten minutes than most people think about anything in their life. And I am ready to change my mind on bulldozing Flint. I say go for it. Let\u2019s just bulldoze it.\u2019 &#8230; Limbaugh also said cities like Flint were &#8216;down the tubes long ago. We tried propping them up with urban renewal and it didn\u2019t work. We were hoodwinked into being called names if we just let these cities go. So we kept pumping money in there, we kept pumping welfare, food stamps, all these things \u2019cause we loved \u2019em and we cared for them, but the proof that a government can\u2019t revive anything is Flint, Michigan.&#8221; They quote me, that\u2019s accurate, but I never said bulldoze the whole damn place. &#8216;Genesee County Treasurer Daniel Kildee said today that Limbaugh relied on bad information in making his comments about the idea of shrinking the city.\u2019 I just relied on the State-Run Media, in this case the Los Angeles Times. <\/p>\n<p>Kildee said, &#8216;I shouldn\u2019t be surprised but I\u2019m disappointed with the cavalier treatment he is giving it. To me, that shows he doesn\u2019t take any issue seriously.\u2019 Mr. Kildee, you have been hired or asked by the Obama administration to bulldoze 50 other cities. Now all of a sudden in the local Flint media I am the villain, I\u2019m the bad guy with a report that says I want to bulldoze the whole city. I never said any such thing. By the way, Mr. Kildee\u2019s work with the Obama administration has led us to receive yet another update from the Obama White House. <\/p>\n<p>(playing of Obama spoof) <\/p>\n<p>In fact, Shrink to Survive could have another test-market for this. Newark. We could bulldoze 40% of Newark. (laughing) Well, that\u2019s according to an e-mail I got from a resident there. You watch, I\u2019ll be all over the Newark Star-Ledger tomorrow: &#8216;Limbaugh: Bulldoze Newark,\u2019 and I didn\u2019t even come up with the idea! I\u2019m just repeating what I\u2019ve read in the State-Run Media. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, from today\u2019s Flint, Michigan, Journal, the newspaper there, a story by Ron Fonger: &#8216;Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh is telling his listeners he has his own urban renewal plan for Flint: &#8216;Let\u2019s just bulldoze it.\u2019 Limbaugh, discussing the potential for shrinking Flint to better concentrate city services, said Tuesday he [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Flint, Michigan Media Pins the Democrat Bulldoze Plan on Rush!
