Slavery
Slavery is a condition of control over a person, known as a slave, that can be enforced by violence or other forms of coercion against his or her will. Slavery almost always occurs for the purpose of securing the labor of the slave. A specific form, known as chattel slavery, is defined by the absolute legal ownership of a person or persons, including the legal right to buy and sell them.

KSFO's Rodgers: "[P]uckered-butt Democrat women hate Sarah Palin ... because her idea of choice was choosing not to have an abortion"
On the September 23 edition of San Francisco radio station KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Show, Rodgers said: "I have -- and I may be overstating for effect here, as I am wont to do from time to time. But I have a deep suspicion that the reason the liberals hate Sarah Palin is that she is a normal person. And they hate that, they just hate it. And I also believe -- and of course, the left-wing bloggers just went nuts when I first said this, but I still believe it, so I'll say it again. I believe that the reason a bunch of puckered-butt Democrat [sic] women hate Sarah Palin is because her idea of choice was choosing not to have an abortion." Guest Steven Hayward, F.K. Weyerhaeuser Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, responded in part by saying: "[T]here is that very vocal segment of feminist opinion that celebrates abortion as a positive good in the same way that, you know, Southern slaveholders 150 years ago celebrated slavery as a positive good." As Media Matters for America has documented, on his September 17 broadcast, Rodgers said: "Look at these ugly skanks, who make up the female leadership of the Democratic Party." Later in that broadcast, Rodgers said: "Democrat women, admit it: You're nothing but a bunch of phonies. And I think we have to ask: Would you like Sarah Palin better if she got pregnant again and did have an abortion, because it's obvious, with a lot of liberal women, killing babies is the main priority they have." From the September 23 broadcast of KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Show: RODGERS: With Steven Hayward of the American Enterprise Institute. I have -- and I may be overstating for effect here, as I am wont to do from time to time. But I have a deep suspicion that the reason the liberals hate Sarah Palin is that she is a normal person. And they hate that, they just hate it. And I also believe -- and of course, the left-wing bloggers just went nuts when I first said this, but I still believe it, so I'll say it again. I believe that the reason a bunch of puckered-butt Democrat women hate Sarah Palin is because her idea of choice was choosing not to have an abortion. You think that enters into it? HAYWARD: Yeah, the way you've noted. You touch on three or four important themes there. One is that there is that very vocal segment of feminist opinion that celebrates abortion as a positive good in the same way that, you know, Southern slaveholders 150 years ago celebrated slavery as a positive good. And so, that you would actually choose not to do so as to -- you know, with a -- with a child suffering from a birth defect is to them perverse, and in their upside-down world, you know, immoral. I mean, they just live in a parallel universe that's incomprehensible to, I think, most Americans. The other, broader part is that, you know, what I and others characterize as the establishment has invested a lot in their status. You mention the Ivy League schools. You really saw that in the kind of initial observations that, oh my god, Governor Palin didn't even have a passport until last year. She's never been to France. She's never appeared on Meet the Press. I mean, some of these things -- really, that this was a disqualification for office. I mean, it's just astounding that -- what's really happened here is their status privilege has been threatened, and that hurts more than anything else. I mean, you might take away their country club membership sooner than you can threaten their political status privileges.

KSFO's Rodgers suggested Obama is a socialist, co-host Benner offered up Holocaust allusion
On the September 3 broadcast of San Francisco radio station KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Show, Rogers said of Takeru Kobayashi, six-time winner of the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, New York, "Just eat, eat, eat, and you gain no weight. Oh, there is no justice. God needs to take a hand in this." Co-host Tom Benner, known as "Officer Vic," agreed and added: "Even things out. Wait, that's socialism, I'm sorry. Forget it." Rodgers replied, "Well, you're right, you're right. Well, under Barack Obama, then, it'll probably be done." He continued: "Oh, lordy. Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free. ... Free of the stifling stupidity of liberalism, which disguises slavery as benevolence. That's -- that's the program for the Obama campaign, by the way." Benner replied: "Arbeit macht frei." Rodgers then said, "Yeah. Make more of them dependent on the government." The German phrase "arbeit macht frei" translates to "work makes one free" and was written on the gate at the entrance to Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps. From the September 3 broadcast of KSFO's The Lee Rodgers Show: RODGERS: These people who get involved in these competitive eating contests, I guess -- and the guy who wins a lot of them is this little Asian guy, Chinese-American [sic], I believe, and he is a regular winner of that, like the -- OFFICER VIC: The hot dog one. RODGERS: The hot dog eating contest, the one that -- OFFICER VIC: Nathan's, I think, does it. RODGERS: Nathan's, exactly, on Coney Island in New York. But, well, I'm thinking -- I'm thinking retirement job for us one of these years, OV. We will just go in that field of competitive eating. OFFICER VIC: Competitive eating, uh-huh. RODGERS: And that little guy who wins that Nathan's thing most years, I don't know if he did this year, but he's up against these 300-pound guys and you figure this is going to be no competition. They've got room in there for, you know, a barrel of whatever. And he out-eats them and never puts on a pound. OFFICER VIC: No. RODGERS: For which we really hate him. OFFICER VIC: [laughs] That's just not right. RODGERS: Just eat, eat, eat, and you gain no weight. Oh, there is no justice. God needs to take a hand in this. OFFICER VIC: Even things out. Wait, that's socialism, I'm sorry. Forget it. RODGERS: Well, you're right, you're right. Well, under Barack Obama, then, it'll probably be done. OFFICER VIC: Yes. RODGERS: Oh, lordy. Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free. OFFICER VIC: Your ill at heart. RODGERS: Free of the stifling stupidity of liberalism, which disguises slavery as benevolence. That's -- that's the domestic program for the Barack Obama campaign, by the way. OFFICER VIC: Arbeit macht frei. RODGERS: Yeah. Make more of them dependent on the government. I used to live in Chicago, along the Dan Ryan Expressway, south of downtown Chicago. These rows and rows of government housing, and if anybody ever needed an object lesson in what social programs created to make people more dependent on the government lead to -- what was it, the Taylor Homes, I think, was one of them -- just miles and miles that looked like federal prisons, people lived in there, you know, subsidized, cheap rent, blah-blah-blah. And they were controlled by gangsters. And the Democrat do-gooders of the Daley machine who have run Chicago for years only wanted one thing from these people. They'd round them up like cattle on Election Day to vote. And then, you go back, and you go back to your drugs, and stay drunk all day, and get your welfare check and all stuff, and leave us alone.
