Limbaugh: Obama won primaries because no one ‘had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.’

Yesterday on his radio show, right-wing talker Rush Limbaugh said it’s “striking how unqualified Obama is and how this whole thing came about within the Democrat Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.” Limbaugh continued:

limbaughweb.jpgI think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them. It’s the reverse of it. They’ve, they’ve ended up nominating and placing at the top of their ticket somebody who’s not qualified, who has not earned it. [...]

It’s perfect affirmative action. And because of all this guilt and the historic nature of things, nobody had the guts to say, well, wait a minute, do we really want to do this?

Media Matters has the audio.

Digg It!

    Obama won primaries becuase no one ‘had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.

  4. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Rush went on to say that Obama was overrated as a quarterback.


  5. spencers mom says:

    You know, maybe I’m just plain b*tchy today because I’m sick of hearing Obama’s constant praise and admiration for McCain’s service 40 years ago, but I think it’s time we go after Limpball’s sponsors and begin boycotts.

    Might work, might not, but I’m sick of unending hate speech that goes on and on without consequences.

    PEACE


  6. Keith says:

    And the reason he drew an audience of 80,000 in Portland is because he is black? And the reason he is ahead of McCain is because he is black? I would think that would be a disadvantage since 88% of the country is not black.


  7. gummitch says:

    I could have sworn he won primaries because he got more votes. Apparently, all those voters only chose Obama because they were afraid not to.


  8. Keith says:

    ralph,
    Maybe, but he sure can hit the “three”.


  9. Badmoodman says:

    Obama won primaries becuase (sic) no one ‘had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.’

    – - And McCain won his primaries because no one had the heart to tell the old prisoner-of-war codger that he’s senile.

    So says the racist, sicko, pervert, druggy….how’s your little boy prostitute doing?

    Limpballs:

    Got viagra, check.

    Got pills, check.

    Got airplane tickets, check.

    Got Hotel room, check.

    Got little Juan paid for, check.


  11. darlineishere says:

    Can anyone tell me who his sponsors are? I don’t listen to him, so I don’t know who pays for his radio time.

    Well, Keith, Rush is just being consistent, in his own way. He figures that poor people are poor because they’re black, so he must figure that Obama has achieved the position he has because of his race.

    But Rush is anything but racist; just ask him. It’s the Democrats, the ones who have voted for a black candidate for the highest office in the land — they’re the ones who are racist. If they were color-blind like Rush, they would have voted for a white man.

  14. sooner79 says:

    The guy we’ve got now wasn’t quaified eight years ago
    and still isn’t. I’ll take Obama over that useless turd.
    Of course he was a bushey so the repugs were probably afraid to stand up to him or his family. Let’s get real here, if experience were what really mattered, we wouldn’t have had Carter, Reagan, Clinton, or the current shrub.


  15. Keith says:

    Ralph,
    Stop spinning, I’m getting dizzy. :)


  16. Tired Of Fighting says:

    The Official Mouthpiece for ALL REPUPPETCANS has spoken. This is real folks, the GOP is scared to come straight out and say “this guy is unqualified because he’s black” because it would throw all of that “we love negroes” (especially those who think like us, clean our houses, cook our food, and raise our kids) BS out the window.

    This is not about Obama having experience or not. I mean the current administration had those with experience out the arse (Dick and Don and the rest) and look at the shape the country is in. They want to come out like the wino in Blazing Saddles did when the sheriff was riding up.

    “The Sherriff is a N—er”

    But they can’t, because that would make them look racist (sarcasm mine).

    So go ahead Arm(strom) Thurmond-Williams, Michael Steele, Ward Connely, Rev. Paterson etc. and the rest of you self-hating negroes, defend your boy oops MAN, and pretend that the rest of the Repuppetcans dont feel the same way about you (us), all of you (us).

    Since when does dropping out of college and forming an addiction to oxycontin qualify you to spew racist propaganda on air waves?

    Ol Rushy sure like’s his cigars. He probably pretends that their something else.


  19. pete says:

    Ralph. You’re ability to see their “logic” is impressive, but disturbing. There’s lots of help if you need it.


  20. pete says:

    Oops! “your ability”. Sometimes I hate spellchecker.


  21. PatrioticLiberalChristian says:

    Translation:

    “striking how unqualified McCain is and how this whole thing came about within the Republicanic Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a former POW who has spent the last eight years kissing the a** of George Bush whose very own campaign in 2000 engaged its smear machine on McCain.”

    If Rush and other neocons accuse the Democrats of something, it is almost certain that the accusation is more accurately aimed at the Republicans.


  22. ralph the wonder llama says:

    pete, maybe you’re right, perhaps I do need help.

    I’m not feeling so well…


  23. Musk says:

    The only reason you’re still here Rush, is because hundreds of thousands of people [myself included], and probably more, who would love to express their true feelings about you, don’t want to spend their life in prison languishing on death row. Believe what I just said Rush. Believe it with all your heart.


  24. Count Istvan says:

    If this were a sane nation we would still have the Limbaugh’s and Savages. But they would be on the fringe drawing a listenership of about 50 people while the rest of the people laughs at their BS. But we are not a sane nation and Limbaugh is a media star with a listenership millions. Sad.


  25. margerine says:

    I think a lot of us stood up and said, yeah, we do want to do “this”.


  26. spencers mom says:

    Zooey, calling Zooey – do you have a link to Limpball’s sponsors? I know GM just signed on as a sponsor last month, but can’t find a complete list.

    I’m not a fan of Rush Limbaugh – I never listen to his radio program – but I do think he’s correct here. Hillary Clinton would have been much more formidable opponent in the general election.

    The longer this election cycle lasts, the more Obama looks like a fast talking Amway salesman and less like a serious person who can be trusted to lead the free world.

    We’ll see come November, but the projected electoral map is shifting to to John McCain…http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/?map=10

    Oh yeah

    Because the GOP and their imbecilic backers all don’t go into an apoplectic fit when they hear the name “Clinton” , who is responsible for all the evils of the world……….?

    BTW

    What exactly makes McDepends look “serious” ?

    His penchant for lying about every one of his stances on the issues ?


  31. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    essentially, that’s like saying people are afraid to stand up to rush limpballs because he’s a steaming piece of sh*it.


  32. pete says:

    Hey spencers mom, maybe GM will give Lush a good deal on the Hummer division? I think we would all enjoy watching that.


  33. stateofthedivision says:

    Rush is back in Animal House, the scene where the big black guys say, “We want to dance with your dates.”

    Sorry Rushie, there were no threatening blacks in the ballot box. But you’re doing a good job of inciting a food fight.


  34. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    pete,
    when rush wants a “good deal on a hummer”, he packs up his viagra, heads to the dominican republic and hires a child sex trade worker.


  35. Bobwurst says:

    Rush might have an easier time arguing that the polls are skewed, that people are lying to pollsters about voting for the black guy, but we, or dems anyway, still use the secret ballot so folks are free to be racist when they vote.


  36. sectionop92 says:

    I have the guts to say:

    THIS FAT BLOWHARD, WHO HAPPENED TO BE CAUGHT WITH DRUGS ON HIM…SUBSTANCES HE EQUATES TO BEING A PRIME EVIL OF THE POOR AND NEEDY…NEEDS TO BE THROWN OFF THE AIR BECAUSE HE IS A KNOWN RACIST, SEXIST AND JUST A GENERAL HYPOCRITE WHO IS AS FUNNY AS A CADAVER. OH RUSH…BEFORE YOU LOB YOUR BOMBS AT KEITH OLBERMANN FOR HIM BEING A SPORTSCASTER, YOU USED TO BE THE P.A. MAN FOR THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS! NOW GO TO THE RNC WATER COOLER AND SWALLOW THEIR TALKING POINTS, YOU TRAITOROUS SCUM.

    Bozo,

    I was thinking more about the commercials. Something like, “Folks. I’m desperate. I’ll sell you a Hummer for $19.95″.


  38. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    bob, the polls are skewed. primarily by the fact most of the 35 and under set do not have landlines. cells are their primary phone which, pollsters cannot call. i think rush and company might be in for a big surprise in november.


  39. Keith says:

    Rush, according to your theory, Jesse Jackson would have been the Democratic nominee two or three times. I don’t remember that happening. Al Sharpton got very little support.

    but first, make sure you give him a donation of viagra!


  43. Pete Tagliani says:

    Isn’t this how Rush got kicked off of his NFL gig?

    It seems like every time he sees a black person in the spotlight, he likes to raise doubts about why they are there.

    Rush can’t seem to imagine that people see Obama as anything other than the black candidate. Which is ironic because Rush used to argue that Obama wasn’t really black.

  48. pete says:

    Very true, Bozo.

    I heard an interesting interview with a local pollster. Along with the “cell phone generation” polls don’t reach first time or occasional voters. Voters who don’t owe affiliation to either major party. Or people who, to paraphrase, only vote if they happen to be pissed off on election day.

    I don’t see McSpin doing well with any of those groups. Though they will be offset, to an extent, by people who will vote for the white guy. Fortunately, those are mostly drawn from the same 20%ers who have voted lockstep since Ronnie Raygun humped Fallwell’s leg on TV. Logic would suggest that it won’t be close barring something unforeseen.

After his horrible performance at the church debate, I’m not worried in the least.

    Ignorance is bliss.


  50. Another Joe says:

    Actually sounds very similar to what he said about quarterback Donovan McNabb:

    The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn’t deserve.

    Until the superblogs on the netroots are willing to use their platforms to organize meaningful actions – boycotts – we will always fight the MSM.

    Unfortunately, to date, they win hands-down.

    When will people wake up and realize that no meaningful social change has occurred without people being willing to take action.

    It would be simple to withhold economic support from all of his advertisers. It would be simple for all concerned democrats and independents to stop shopping at walmart, mcdonalds, applebees, staples, home depot, and the corpocracy that underwrites the media and the figurehead politicians that stand in front of the cameras and microphones.

    Blogging is a start, sharing ideas is important, but when are we going to share and coordinate ideas about meaningful peaceful action?

    Until then, we just become another version of atrio’s 101st keyboarding brigade…

    Please enlighten everyone here ……….

    I am not going to go through your entire laughably stupid post , rube ; but explain to us how Obama is “nervy” for criticizing an obviously unqualified judge such as Thomas when Obama graduated from Harvard law school and also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, as a Lecturer for four years (1992–1996), and as a Senior Lecturer for eight years (1996–2004) , while McStupid was one of the 5 WORST students in his Naval Class and has absolutely no background in the Constitution or US law ……………..

    I’d say that a person that was asked about the holding of perhaps the seminal case of the prior term, and who couldn’t remember it, explaining “well that was way back last term…”, counts as “dumb and unqualified”. The reason he doesn’t open his mouth in oral argument is that he’s been informed of Mark Twain’s maxim. What’s your excuse?

    I merely asked , and am asking again :

    What in Obama’s Harvard Law School background and subsequent teaching job that revolved around Constitutional law , makes him “nervy” for criticizing an obviously unqualified judge like Thomas to become a SCOTUS judge , while you will not mention what in McDepends’ limited schooling while finishing 5th from the bottom of his naval class allows him to bad-mouth FOUR SITTING US SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ?

    You know, maybe I’m just plain b*tchy today because I’m sick of hearing Obama’s constant praise and admiration for McCain’s service 40 years ago…

    I heard a caller to the Thom Heartmann show come up with a great strategy to combat McCain’s “heroic service” as a POW. Obama or a surrogate needs to bring up the propaganda tapes that McCain did for the Vietnamese. Then they need to point out that McCain said that they tortured him but he gave them nothing. Then ask him, “you are saying that torture doesn’t work by defending the tapes you made, but you are now saying that torture is OK because it works”. Which is true, what you said then or what you said now. If he says that torture works, then we can ask him “how can we know that you didn’t actually give away secrets then.” It’s a box that McCain won’t be able to get out of and it doesn’t question his service in the military. They can also say to McCain, so according to Bush, you weren’t tortured, you were subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques. Would you agree to that Mr. McCain, or do you still contend you were tortured”.

    Someone needs to bring up McCain’s service and the fact that he filmed propaganda tapes for the Vietnamese. Is that what a “hero” would have done?

    Well , that must now mean that Darfur has become the 51st state in the Union , because that is the 1st thing Obama mentioned :

    REV. WARREN: Okay, we’ve got one last — I’ve got a bunch more, but let me just ask you one about evil. Does evil exist? And if it does, do we ignore it, do we negotiate with it, do we contain it, do we defeat it?

    SEN. OBAMA: Evil does exist. I mean, I think we see evil all the time. We see evil in Darfur. We see evil, sadly, on the streets of our cities. We see evil in parents who viciously abuse their children. And I think it has to be confronted. It has to be confronted squarely.

    TripleKick 12 Says:

    Tripplekick — I’m going make this last post before I close it out for the evening.

    oh I see, Hussein Obama went to college, hence he is qualified to be president.

    The position of the President of the United, although the toughest job in the free world, is a citizens job. The only qualifications are contained within the Constitution of the United States: Be at least 35 years of age; be a natural-born citizen of the United States; be a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

    The rules of the relevant political committee, or the nominating process, send the candidate to the next round. The people make their voices heard through a series of caucases and primaries. The math used to determine who your opponent will be is done by the committee.

    Finally, general election consists of the electoral college and the popular vote. Studies have traditionally found that the incumbent party loses when the economy is in the doldrums. Given eight years of our SCOTUS-elected president, their prediction will probably be correct — an easy win.

    We don’t need to hear from the right that Obama is unqualified, because you will never call your democratic opponent qualified. It’s your job to bloviate, and it’s our job to let you in that your party is in an extremely weak state.

    As I’ve stated, I’m not worried in the least…but you are, and you should be. Do you really think America will elect this anti American pro-infanticidal,super-liberal, unqualified empty suit? Haha yea, think again. You guys totally blew it.

    I’ll emphasize the word “presumptuous” here. Even if the polls on the economy, among other issues, don’t favor Republicans handling, the right wants us to believe that we should feel impaired and despaired. They’re in the worst documented state, yet they intend to pull a PR stunt in the form of encouraging the masses not to vote, and they intend to encourage people individual as to make them forget their collective potential.

    They did it in 2000. They did it in 2004. They did in with Iraq. They will do so this year. The worst of America’s children growing up back a couple of generations ago have been taking up America’s influence, folks.

    I wish Hillary was nominated, because then a Lear I could respect the DNC. But you chose poorly. G’luck.

    Odd, since we’re on a Rush thread, that you would change your story. All I could hear on jock radio was “Vote for Hillary because she’s easier to beat.” You lost on that front, and now you’re rewriting history as if failure = success. I wonder if that mindset spans across the GOP?

    Ahem, I don’t want to underestimate America’s newfound enlightment to all of the piling rubble.

    Correction: They will try to do so this year. And since they’ve succeeded before they will scare people into believing they can do it again based on precedent.

    Turn them back.

    #Mr. Evil Says:
    OT… Wanna see something scary? The latest electoral vote polling. http://www.politico.com/convention/swingstate.html

    Not in the least scary. First, Politico is a right wing site so it’s in their interests to skew the data. Second, Obama hasn’t yet begun to fight. Most people polled today still think that McCain is a Maverick and a Moderate. When they find out that’s not true, they will change their minds in a hurry. Second, I suspect that Obama has it on good authority that McCain isn’t going to be the candidate. I suspect that the Republicans are going to pull a switch at their convention, so Obama is not wasting money on McCain. We’ll know soon, but no, I’m not worried.

    Polls can easily be skewed and the polling outfits have a vested interest in keeping them skewed, as does the MSM. They won’t be making much money if the true pulse of the nation was taken and it looks like a landslide. The polls also don’t account for the young people with only cell phones nor do they account for the fact that the Democrats (who far outnumber the Republicans today) voted 4-1 over the Republicans.

    So, don’t panic, it’s going to be a landslide. There’s not much the Republicans can do about it except to try to panic everyone.

    I’m guessing it has an Oedipal sub-context. A patronizing, belittling epithet used by his mother when he was a small boy, that he has internalized. He remembers how small it made him feel when she used it on him, and so he now uses it in the hopes that it will inflict as much psychological damage as he felt at the time.

    I think there are incentive/performance clause(s) in his new contract, linked to the election results. If McCain loses, the contract payout is reduced or maybe reverts back to his previous rate. When you’re shelling out $400MM, you want to tie the quality of his propaganda work to important benchmarks. Obviously, helping McCain to win is the #1 goal of Rush’s Republican sponsors and an easily measurable benchmark.

  145. aj30510 says:

    It is amazing to me that Republicans continue to court McMoron, when he clearly doesn’t even represent their best and definitely not their brightest. Democrats nominated-presumably- Obama because he IS bright. I’d rather have someone that shows a LOT of potential to lead our nation out of the abyss Republican GW has dropped us into, even if he is ‘black’ and a Democrat. Lockstep partisan politics hasn’t gotten our country very far recently- outside of far into debt.

    Pubbies, wise up. John McCain is neither the pick of the Republican litter, nor is he an independent poster-boy. He is an opportunist- as most politicians are- Obama’s present votes included, but at least Obama is bright enough to help us negotiate this path of destruction we’ve found ourselves on. Words cannot solve everything, and I agree that he has to show his teeth, and that his bite is every bit as productive (effective) as his bite (speeches.) McInane is getting a pass on his intellectual stagnation, as well as his questionablity with respect to his moral stance.

    His ‘greatest moral failure’ was a calculated entry into the political process. The biggest difference between McCain and GW is one is a retarded cowboy, and the other is a slow-witted Admiral startup. Did anyone see McCain Revealed on CNN tonight, followed by Obama Revealed? Obama isn’t perfect, but he also doesn’t thinly veil his shrewd and immoral married life with the gimme of ‘moral failure.’

    Obama had his Resko ‘boneheaded move,’ but he didn’t hide it. He was not even involved with Resko’s decision making process, and though he admitted making a mistake, it was a mistake of assocition, rather than McCain’s, which was a calculated, conscious disassociation from his first wife, and a ‘maverick’ move to upgrade his marital prospects. Which is more disingenuous?

    Worse than that, he has no new ideas. He has no critical mass of motivated people to sweep in and change the current Executive Branch culture. He’s totally dependent on the same corrupt and incompetent people that infest this administration.

    There will be change, all right. More economic misery. More wars. More draconian judges to stifle our civil rights. More corruption. But if you are in the top 1% (like the $400MM man), you’ll be doing great! There’ll be plenty more Rush droppings for all to feast on!

    Substitute “Barack Obama” with “Donovan McNabb” and it’s almost the same thing he said several years ago. The thing is, he doesn’t care if people say he’s a racist. Most of his listeners are as well – either outright racists or closet racists. He definitely speaks to their souls.

    Rush always has the most logical arguments. On a recent broadcast Rush also pointed out that Obama seems to be at a loss of words when asked a direct question. This country doesn’t need another thinker, (if you really believe Obama really is then you are clueless). This country needs a Doer. Now if Rush really loves our country he would endorse Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin!


  152. Kimberly says:

    Oh God, not this guy again.
    Rush’s ‘talent’ lies entirely in taking the least logical, dirtiest and most shameful gut reactions…the most hateful kneejerk reactions, and then spewing them out. If they ring with others they’re mistaken for truth, but they’re not truth, they’re widespread prejudices.

    He’s easy to see through, but unfortunately it takes at least one millisecond of thought, which is too much to ask of a depressing portion of the population. We’ll be FAR better off without his voice in the discourse, may the day come soon.

    Yeah, I’ll be voting for Obama thank you!

    The GOP is full of cowards and liars!

    @ kasinca… PERFECT! I wish I said that!


  155. sellhomework says:

    Wow, this news is so blunt and direct. I think a lot of people will find this statement racist. This is going to be very controversial.


  156. sellhomework says:

    Also, Obama is not entirely Black. I don’t think as many people would have voted for him if he looked completely Black.

    I agree with Rush 100% Obama is not fit to run America, Also i agree that some of his popularity is just because he is African American.

    Personally I want Mccain to win the election.

    dont get me wrong Obama seems like a nice man, but not a fit leader.

    We have a ton of equally sickmaking Limbaugh audio. How that dude still has a job, I’m sure I don’t know.

    Can anyone tell me who his sponsors are? I don’t listen to him, so I don’t know who pays for his radio time.

    I think its appalling how people are calling for boycotts of his sponsors but they don’t listen to the show so they don’t even understand the context of his comments. They simply read the paraphrase and immediately make a judgment. Defeating ignorance with more ignorance. I love America.


  162. invincible27 says:

    Obama is certainly not a good candidate, i think people have just voted for him for a change and now the future is ” he is going to make everyone eat plantons and bananas, give up everything and live like greese monkeys and ofcourse listening to RAP”

    just imagine the whole world turns in a jungle LOL
