Pence: ‘I Don’t Believe Rush Limbaugh Has A Racist Bone In His Body’
Pence: ‘I Don’t Believe Rush Limbaugh Has A Racist Bone In His Body’
With hate radio host Rush Limbaugh coming under increasing scrutiny for saying that he hopes President Obama fails, his conservative groupies have been rushing out to defend him. Today, for example, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) went on his show and said on-air, “I see eye-to-eye with Rush Limbaugh.”
This afternoon on MSNBC, it was Rep. Mike Pence’s (R-IN) turn. Host Norah O’Donnell asked Pence whether he agrees with Limbaugh’s statement that the country is being forced to “bend over, grab the ankles, bend over forward, backward, whichever” because Obama’s “father was black, because this is the first black president.” Pence refused to condemn Limbaugh, chastising O’Donnell for implying that Limbaugh is “racist”:
O’DONNELL: On that specific thing, that we have to bend over because this is the first black president, why don’t you feel that you could denounce something like that? Are you so beholden to someone like Rush Limbaugh that you can’t say —
PENCE: Oh gosh, Norah —
O’DONNELL: — that’s not the type of rhetoric when America is trying to come together to do something for the unemployment rate — in your state of Indiana it’s 8.2 percent — is that the rhetoric we need?
PENCE: I don’t believe Rush Limbaugh has a racist bone in his body. If you’re suggesting that his statement had a racist element in it, I commend you to a greater understanding of the positions he’s taken. He’s a man about opportunity of all Americans, regardless of race, creed, or color. That’s why he’s so admired and appreciated across America.
Pence never explicitly said that he wants Obama to fail, although he did say that he “cherish[es]” Limbaugh’s “voice in the public debate.” Watch it:
Maybe Pence needs a refresher on some of Limbaugh’s positions, such as his statements that minorities can get away with anything, Hillary Clinton is a “B-I-itch” who has a “testicle lockbox,” and Obama is a “little black man-child.”
Transcript:
O’DONNELL: On another matter — I want to ask you about Rush Limbaugh. He said, “I hope he fails,” talking about President Obama. Rush Limbaugh also said this. He said, “We are being told that we have to hope Obama succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles, bend over forward, backward, whichever, because his father was black because this was the first black president.” Do you agree with Rush Limbaugh?
PENCE: Let me speak specifically to what Rush Limbaugh said about America. I actually heard a little bit of him this afternoon. We all hope America succeeds. In that vein, we hope our President succeeds. I think Rush Limbaugh — who I admire, and like millions of Americans, I cherish his voice in the public debate — I think that’s what he was saying.
But, he was also saying is where Barack Obama is going to pursue the implementation of campaign promises, where he’s going to grow government, grow spending, depart from traditional values, or take positions with regard to the national defense that are antithetical to conservative values, we certainly hope there will be strong opposition from voices like Rush Limbaugh and from leaders here on Capitol Hill. We appreciate — I understand what he was saying Norah. We all hope our President succeeds, we all hope America succeeds. But that doesn’t mean we’re going to agree with what the best solutions are for the country.
O’DONNELL: No doubt you can agree with Rush Limbaugh that he’s calling the stimulus a sham and full of wasteful spending. On that specific thing, that we have to bend over because this is the first black president, why don’t you feel that you could denounce something like that? Are you so beholden to someone like Rush Limbaugh that you can’t say —
PENCE: Oh gosh, Norah —
O’DONNELL: — that’s not the type of rhetoric when America is trying to come together to do something for the unemployment rate — in your state of Indiana it’s 8.2 percent — is that the rhetoric we need?
PENCE: I don’t believe Rush Limbaugh has a racist bone in his body. If you’re suggesting that his statement had a racist element in it, I commend you to a greater understanding of the positions he’s taken. He’s a man about opportunity of all Americans, regardless of race, creed, or color. That’s why he’s so admired and appreciated across America.

Rush is just a waste of air. He has portrayed himself as alot of things but never human.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:47 pmI think that the GA person who said he agrees with everything Rush says will probably not be reelected…..
Okay, did he seriously just say that? Tell that to Media Matters.
Discussing Obama, Limbaugh suggests Dems, media believe “you can’t criticize the little black man-child”:

PENCE: I don’t believe Rush Limbaugh has a racist bone in his body.
Rush doesn’t have a bone in his body, his bone is in some underage Domincan boy prostitute.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:49 pmTP, Rush Limbaugh does not rate this many posts in one day. Not in a week. Please make the hurtings stop.
Although it might be fun to get every GOP’er in Congress on tape and force them to deny they know him or kiss his butt, I’d rater see all of those wrapped up into one study.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:50 pmOf course, the fact that Rush is a blob-like creature supported not by bones but in fact by a series of fluid filled sacs may have something to do with that…
January 28th, 2009 at 4:50 pmIt’s not the bones that are racist, its every FIBER of his being !
January 28th, 2009 at 4:50 pmI don’t believe Rush has ANY bones in his body.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:50 pmHe’s more of a putrid, gelatinous blob of hate.
Obviously Pence, is brainless, having only bones in his head.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:52 pmRushing to the bottom? Rush is just a worthless, lying, racist pig, but his time is past, since the former dictator Bush is no longer in power…
January 28th, 2009 at 4:52 pmRush’s words speak for themselves. Don’t forget the racist song he gave live on his radio show and even had the RNC pass out CD’s. Rush has a problem with woman too. But Rush does like to rape little girls and take drugs. Notice his trips over seas to poor area’s where he rapes little girls. Then he still uses drugs with the help of the White House Attorney General appointees by the Bush Administration. Foley even walked away to continue to look for young boys to rape.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:53 pmDo we need any more proof that repugs do only what they’re told, that they walk and talk in lockstep, never checking into whatever it is they are defending?
January 28th, 2009 at 4:54 pmPence absolutely ridiculous.
OK, this is the FOURTH Limbaugh thread today. Can we stop now?
January 28th, 2009 at 4:54 pmHe’s a man about opportunity of all Americans, regardless of race, creed, or color.
Rush is an a**hole to everyone who doesn’t agree with him….
January 28th, 2009 at 4:54 pmThis from the guy, Pence, who compared Baghdad to an Indiana flea market, with a 150 armed troops behind him & Blackhawks hovering overhead.
Rush is a parasite, sucking the goodness out of American minds.
Let’s stop letting our wonderful Country be used as the host for parasitic & perverted minds like Lush & Pence.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:55 pmFrom Wikipedia…
January 28th, 2009 at 4:55 pm“During an April 2007 visit to Baghdad, (Mike)Pence and John McCain visited Shorja market — the site of a deadly attack in February, 2007, that claimed the lives of 61 people. During the visit, Pence wore a bulletproof vest and was accompanied by 100 soldiers in armored Humvees being protected from above by US attack helicopters. He described his heavily-militarized visit as being “unfettered” and “like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime.”[9]“
Priceless,waiting for Repukes to admit racism.My goosh how funny.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:56 pmHere’s a guy who admires and cherishes Limba. No question he bends over and holds his ankles for him too.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:57 pmWe all hope America succeeds. In that vein, we hope our President succeeds. I think Rush Limbaugh — who I admire, and like millions of Americans, I cherish his voice in the public debate — I think that’s what he was saying.
Well, Mr. Pence, you think wrong.
Okay, Norah, maybe I’ll forgive your other earlier remarks.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:57 pmflocking awesome…
January 28th, 2009 at 4:57 pmLet’s not forget that Rush was forced to resign from ESPN because of his remarks on Donovan McNabb’s race.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:58 pmI,for one, didn’t know Oxybreath held such high power among the government officials.
And I’ll be honest, I’m tired of hearing about this Big Fat Idiot.
As for the racist thing, explain to me again why he got fired from ESPN? It wasn’t for some racist remark towards McNabb, was it?
January 28th, 2009 at 4:59 pmLet’s not forget when Rush tried to claim on Monday Night Football that Donovan McNabb was receiving acclaim only because he was black and the media “were very desirous” of having a black quarterback succeed.
Nothing racist in that, no sir.
He “resigned” from MNF shortly thereafter.
Thank goodness someone in the media has integrity, even if it’s only MNF.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:59 pmBut Rush did say America would never elect a black President. So he’s not Nostradamus either.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:59 pmDaddy Love – jinx.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:59 pmif the issue is whether that particular statement was racist, i’d have to say no.
January 28th, 2009 at 4:59 pmbut tubby obviously has issues with black folk and i wonder if maybe as this stuff starts to pile up, the mainstream media will pick up on it.
Pence should explain that to ESPN and Donovan McNabb and the Rethugs now only getting 2% of the black vote.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:00 pmThey’re in trouble with Hispanics too.
PENCE:
He’s a man about opportunity of all Americans, regardless of race, creed, or color. That’s why he’s so admired and appreciated across America.
He may be admired and appreciated by many people but that certainly isn’t the reason.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:00 pmRacist NEVER see their own racism.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:00 pmAmazing, isn’t it, that the current reichwing meme is that “libs are afraid of Rush Limbaugh!!!”…
But the exact OPPOSITE seems to be the real truth – conservatives and Repukes falling all over themselves to kiss Rush’s as—er, RING.
So tell me again – WHO is afraid of El Rushblob??
January 28th, 2009 at 5:01 pmPerhaps, if the statement was viewed in a vacuum, devoid of any surrounding context or history, one could make that case, giving the benefit of the doubt, of course.
But racism is revealed through patterns of behavior and of statement.
Rush gave up the benefit of any doubt on this question long ago.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:02 pmTP, I agree with ElBruce. Enough already.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:02 pmconsider the source, this assclown in from georgia. racist is a realtive term here
January 28th, 2009 at 5:03 pmPENCE: I don’t believe Rush Limbaugh has a racist bone in his body.
I agree. There are several…around 206, but not “a” bone..
January 28th, 2009 at 5:03 pmPence may be anatomically correct.
It’s Rush’s bone marrow that is racist and his bones that support bigotry.
Then again, Pence is another Republican obstructionist who will scream that the sky is falling all the way until 2010.
I’m afraid they might run out of material for that in the very near future at this rate.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:04 pmPence is from Indiana.
Racist is a relative term there, too, but not quite the same as in Georgia.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:06 pmralph the wonder llama Says:
Racist NEVER see their own racism.
They don’t know who is who, even when they have an opportunity to take off the hoods at the KKK potluck dinners.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:07 pmwhoops.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:08 pmMy bad.
He wasn’t fired from ESPN. He was asked to resign. And he did so, voluntarily.
FOR MAKING A RACIST REMARK!!!
Leftside Annie Says:
So tell me again – WHO is afraid of El Rushblob??
Besides the numerous chairs, floor mats and steel girders that need to be replaced on a monthly basis at his studio…about everyone with the ability to form their own thoughts.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:09 pmI don’t believe anybody could find a bone on Limbaugh’s body if they had to. Not even a 10 year old Dominican boy.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:10 pmThese are the same old white farts that called Michelle Obama racist for saying for the first time she was REALLY proud of her country.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:11 pmralph, let’s meet at the common ground…both are repukelicans, ergo, racist sacks of crap.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:11 pmYou could probably find the corpse of a Dominican boy if you fished into the seas of fat on Rush.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:12 pmEnough already.
The issue isn’t Rush himself… the issue is why do elected members of Congress feel the need to supplicate themselves to an ill-informed, racist “entertainer” on A.M. radio…
On a positive note, If the “base” of the Republican party is so far out of touch with reality, both general and electoral, that they continue to push R’s in Congress further to the Right they will only succeed in helping more R’s in Congress exit stage right… for good, I hope.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:13 pmUh, he got canned from Monday Night Football from making rascist statements about Donavan McNabb. I mean, c’mon.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:13 pmIt’s very hard to trust Pence X-Ray exam of Limbuagh.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:14 pmHe might not have a racist bone in his body (hey, does the dirigible even have a bone in his body ?)
But he sure has an anti-woman, anti-gay, anti non-white, anti-poor full skeleton.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:16 pmgo repubs!
give your party away
to the big, fat druggie!
* * *
January 28th, 2009 at 5:17 pmNoMoreBush Says:
Uh, he got canned from Monday Night Football from making rascist statements about Donavan McNabb. I mean, c’mon.
He got fired from ESPN’s Sunday Morning Countdown. Believe it or not, history might be a bit kinder on Rush’s stance thanks to McNabb’s failure to succeed on the field and the media’s constant affinity to still look on him as more than what he is off the field than what he is on it.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:18 pmAnd don’t forget that Rush once, very early in his career, told a black caller “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”.
Oh, yeah, Rush definitely crosses the line from time to time.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:19 pmPence is correct. But here’s the deal: Pence, himself, is a racist so he cannot condemn another racist. Those who are racists never see how they are bigoted. They never question their beliefs – they merely question YOUR reaction to THEIR beliefs. See how it works? Both Limbaugh and Pence are racists, so they cannot see the error in their beliefs and words. Bottom line on this: The GOP is running faster to gain and maintain Limbaugh’s approval – rather than their own constituants. I guess the GOP works for Limbaugh now, huh?
Oh how the mighty will fall.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:19 pmSorry for the bad link. The second one should have gone here. Enjoy.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:22 pmThe Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:25 pm$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget
Even if he was racist, is racism a crime?
It sure can be, yeah.
However, please do continue to tell all your friends and acquaintances that Rush’s racism is not a ‘crime’… actually the more you can talk about racism and Rush, the better… thanks!
January 28th, 2009 at 5:27 pmMuch like a cornered and wounded animal, Rush and his ilk will wail louder and louder until they finally and thankfully fall silent.
The fact that the GOP praises a man who perhaps is most responsible for poisoning the public discourse and fanning the flames of hyper partisanship, speaks volumes to where the party is heading. A small minority of ultra-right wing kooks, and fossilized hold-overs from the racist 20th century angry white man demographic.
I say this is a good thing. Let them keep groveling for piggy’s sloppy seconds, anointing a TALK-RADIO SHOW host to be the de-facto GOP mouth piece. It’ll take a while, but eventually they will marginalize themselves.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:28 pm(Reprint from post #50 in the Gingrey thread)
This shows that President Obama was correct.
Does everyone now see what is going on here? There is such a leadership vacuum in the Republican Party that Rush Limbaugh has become the de facto leader of the party! These guys don’t give a crap what John Boehner or Mitch McConnell say, because Boehner and McConnell themselves are taking marching orders from Limbaugh. They will follow their fat idol to the ends of the earth, and is just where he is leading them. I hope all of America is watching this absurd spectacle.
Entertainer my a$$!
January 28th, 2009 at 5:29 pmLTdan Says:
Even if he was racist, is racism a crime? If it was, obama and his mentors would be in jail for being so racist.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Gawd, I hope “LT” doesn’t apply to some military rank, cuz I’d h ate to think anybody would ever have to depend on your judgment.
By “his mentors,” I presume you mean Rev. Wright, posibly Rev. Lowrey?
Correct me if I misunderstand you, please.
Or do you mean Ronald Reagan, of whom Prez.O has often expressed his fond admiration?
January 28th, 2009 at 5:29 pm(referring to Pence’s quote)
Well then, whose bone IS IT?
January 28th, 2009 at 5:30 pmEvening Lame Troll Dan,
January 28th, 2009 at 5:30 pmproject much?
LTdan,
Why don’t you try to beat up a black guy while calling him racist names, and see how much extra prison time you can get. Yes, racism can be a crime.
And there should be no doubt about Limbaugh’s racism. He has demonstrated it on numerous occasions. Sometime in the 80s, he said, “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
Yeah, try to tell me he’s not racist.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:31 pmI think it’s terrific that the neocons in America cherish Rush Limbaugh, because it will be a sure win for the Democrats in 2010. Thanks neocons! Keep publicly stating how much you love Rush!
January 28th, 2009 at 5:35 pmLame Troll Dan,
January 28th, 2009 at 5:35 pmYou’ll never earn your lil gold trolly wings by using innuendo. go ahead, and tell us “the big lie”
One thing is for sure, Rush’s boner isn’t racist; just ask the Dominican Republic.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:37 pmThe reason LTdan is scared of others is because he knows they would grind him up and spit him out. All bigots are scared of competition and the possibility that another person is smarter and more accomplished than he will ever be. It is purely an instinctual reaction to a perceived threat. Of course, LTdan could always better himself through education and work, but hey, that takes effort – something our troll doesn’t understand. Much easier to stand back and throw rocks at those who are making history. Way to go troll!
January 28th, 2009 at 5:38 pmI think that’s what he was saying
~Pence
Ah, the Limbaugh apologists. When not apologizing to Limbaugh, they spend their time making up apologies for him.
What is scary is to find Congressmen stooping to this level. Not that they were too far above it…
January 28th, 2009 at 5:39 pmLTdan Says:

Well, he (Barack, I mean.) could probably type your name without mis-spelling it LTdan… and of course, he did get that degree in Constitutional Law and he was the editor of the Harvard Law Review… and of course, he is President… but you’re probably right… you just need time to blossom.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:44 pmLt. Dan:
Are you a Constitutional Scholar? Have you ever been president of the Harvard Law Review? Have you ever been elected to the Senate? The Presidency?
You’re an idiot. Defending Lush Limpballs proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Dear boy…Have you ever seen those small, wispy clouds which float over your head on a nice warm summer day? Those clouds have more smarts than you. Small legged bugs could beat you in a game of checkers. Flys and their larvae could run rings around you during a pop quiz. There’s a guy who lives under the pier – you know the one, always babbling to himself – he would beat you in a fair debate.
Of course, you are right and the entire rest of the planet is wrong.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:49 pmOh, and LTdan…
Can you tell us why the Repub. members of Congress feel the need to defend an A.M. radio talk-show host on television?
I mean, it’s not like the guy has three hours to blather about his ‘awesomeness’ and ‘not-racist self’ on the Nation’s airwaves or anything…
oh, wait…
January 28th, 2009 at 5:50 pmIs LTDan an 11-year old who still pees the bed?
January 28th, 2009 at 5:50 pmExactly! Middle America is sick to death of right-wing extremism. Yet, the idiot Republicans think they lost the election because they weren’t far right enough. Now, they have fully embraced Rush Limbaugh as their standard bearer, and the whole world can watch them march away into the sunset.
Barack Obama tried to warn them in good faith, but it had no effect. I hope everyone is paying attention to Rush Limbaugh and his Congressional Republicans as they commit political suicide.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:51 pmYeah it’s obvious you’re a genius. Try to remember to capitalize somebody’s name from now on, Einstein.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:52 pmOh, de racist bone connected to de bigot bone…
January 28th, 2009 at 5:53 pmde bigot bone connected to de moron bone…
LTdan Says:
Even if he was racist, is racism a crime?
Why does that have to be your defense for everything – “it’s not a crime, nobody’s been indicted, we didn’t get caught!” Fact: something can be morally repugnant without being criminal. I know you people don’t understand the difference, which is why you keep trying to legislate morality.
.
LTdan Says:
And yes I was talking about obama;s RACIST friends.
What racist friends? I don’t know what you’re talking about. You mean people from the black political community who have complained about racism? Before you go there, I should warn you that pointing out racism does not constitute racism, otherwise you’d be admitting to being a racist for calling them racist for pointing out racism. And so on.

LTdan Says:
” racist crackers ” Oh the irony, moron.
Shut your jive trap, honky. Go back to your Wonder Bread and mayonnaise.

January 28th, 2009 at 5:54 pmLTDan, serious question, raised by Belac: what is your opinion of the fact that the Republican party of The United States of America, has turned the philosophical reigns over to a AM TALK RADIO SHOW HOST?
BWWWAHHAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
January 28th, 2009 at 5:54 pm8 years of Bush and 8 days of Obama and LTdan thinks Obama is the worst elected official ever. Who said you didn’t have to be stupid to be a Republican?

Yeah it’s obvious you’re a genius. Try to remember to capitalize somebody’s name from now on, Einstein.
Should we tell him where to find the shift key? LTDan, here’s a fun tip to help you in your search: there are two of them!
January 28th, 2009 at 5:54 pmmaybe, maybe not.
But I’ll bet that the 11-year-old boy who still pees the bed isn’t smarter than LameTrollDan.
That is, if he’s of below average intelligence.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:55 pmGood call dbadass. Glezzery got booted and came back as LTDan. Time to start flagging this one too.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:56 pmRush Limbaugh has long held the philosophical reigns of the Republican Party. Now, the GOP has turned over the political reigns to an AM TALK RADIO HOST!
January 28th, 2009 at 6:00 pmLTdan Says:
I doubt barrack is smarter than me.
My morning turd is smarter than you.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:00 pmFirst you better tell the genius what a shift key is ElBruce.
And kudos on this, “Shut your jive trap, honky. Go back to your Wonder Bread and mayonnaise.”
You had me laughing out loud.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:02 pmI doubt Rush hates the rich white guys who pay him $400 million.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:03 pmFunny you said that Buckie Boy. I was thinking that LT stands for Little Turd.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:04 pmQuestion for LTdan. What does the secretion from Rush’s anal cyst taste like? And more importantly, why do the Reugnicunts like yourself keep lapping at his ass?
You really should have more self esteem, that’s just disgusting.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:04 pmMeh, who cares, it’s just the usual. A calculated array of words designed to provoke.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:05 pmNahhh… LTfabulous is a closeted gay attention wh ore.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:07 pmIf I remember correctly, Rush originally wanted to be a sportscaster but lost any hope of being one after stating that the only reason some coach had his job is because he was black or something like that. Am I wrong or isn’t Rush a failure at what he originally wanted to do because of racist remarks????
January 28th, 2009 at 6:09 pmIt’s pretty safe to say that the RNC is paying a nickel a post to trolls like LittleTurd. When they stopped paying they’d lose interest after one of two insults. But when it can buy them a bottle of malt liquor to take back to the double wide they get all kinds of energy.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:11 pmDoes anyone know if Ruch Limabaugh is married? To the GOP, aren’t white, balding, single middle aged men SUPPOSED to be married? If Rush is not married, maybe he and lindsey Graham can not be gay together. Or maybe Man Coulter has an extra Adams apple to spare. Just a thought.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:11 pmHe’s just saying what Limberger and the Sun Tan Lotion Coalition (Boehner and Cantor) tells him to say. Just a gettin ready for their Klan meeting…
January 28th, 2009 at 6:15 pmHe’s a man about opportunity of all Americans, regardless of race, creed, or color. That’s why he’s so admired and appreciated across America.
I am sorry I don’t believe anyone outside of conservative political circles listens and believes anything he says. I am sure that people across America do NOT appreciate him. I am sorry we are giving him any attention.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:16 pm‘I Don’t Believe Rush Limbaugh Has A Racist Bone In His Body’”
That’s because there are no bones in his body. He’s a steaming pile of racist crap.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:17 pmMuch like a cornered and wounded animal, Rush and his ilk will wail louder and louder
The difference is that I would pity the wounded animal and try to save it.
Shayne, I’ve been laughing out loud since, oh, about comment #73. Kudos, guys!
‘Lame Troll’ and ‘Little Turd’ are good ones, I thought the LT might be an abbreviation for ‘Lite’.

January 28th, 2009 at 6:22 pmStratRat,
I believed is a thrice-divorced man right now. One of the reasons his first wife left him was because while he was unemployed (and collecting from the government), he couldn’t get his lazy ass off the couch, stop eating potato chips that he bought on a credit card from the local gas station, and mow the lawn. (I am not making any of that up, he said all of this himself on one of his shows.) I am not aware right now why his second and third wives left him, but I wish them well in their personal recoveries. Oh, yeah. He met his second wife (I think, if not the third) over the internet. He was pouring out his soul to her, and she felt sorry for him, and they ended up being married. For a time. I hope she’s okay now. (shudder)
January 28th, 2009 at 6:23 pmBoneless is he?
January 28th, 2009 at 6:30 pmBut seriously folks…I think I disagree with those who say ‘enough’ with the Limbaugh threads. Maybe if he keeps up his megalomaniacal ranting enough, and Rs keep having to decide between their (possible) consciences and continuing to be seen to be at the beck and call of Jabba the Hutt and going along with his ever-more-divisive rhetoric, more of the country will turn away from him, and them. The more that this is brought to the attention of the MSM, the better. Especially when more people just see him as he does his vile schtick. Remember his short-lived TV show? It had to have gone off the air so quickly for the simple reason that even his fans couldn’t stand to look at him, though they’ll hang on his every word on the radio machine.
Maybe it’s the booze talking, but I can dream, can’t I?
January 28th, 2009 at 6:32 pmThank you, ralph, I couldn’t stop myself.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:33 pmmaxcochran Says:
If I remember correctly, Rush originally wanted to be a sportscaster…
ESPN had him on Monday Night Footbal for a brief stint. His career as being himself was already well established though. And it was a quarterback. Here are some details.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:39 pmWe can debate the relative merits of McNabb’s performance on the field (and as an Eagles fan, i have been witness to a good chunk of it) but the simple fact is that the explanation Rush came up with for McNabb’s popularity was that it as because of his race.
Whether you believe McNabb has gotten more attention or praise throughout his career than was merited or not, I doubt if many reasonably thoughtful observers would attribute that attention to his race.
let’s put it to the test: if McNabb generated more praise because he was black, then other black quarterbacks in the league over the last decade should have received similar accolades, right?
Quincy Carter is a good place to begin. drafted in the second round, started for the Cowboys as a rookie… why didn’t he get the same media attention as McNabb? Maybe because he didn’t win games.
Troy Smith. 2006 Heisman Trophy winner. There’s a guy you’d think the media would get behind, if that was what the media was concerned about. But Troy lost his opportunity to start in preseason and Joe Flacco took over and guided the Ravens to the playoffs.
Jason Campbell has done all right for the Washington Redskins, took them to the playoffs in ‘07 and is a consistent NFL quarterback. Why no media hoopla surrounding Campbell? I mean, if that’s what the media wants, they should swarm the guy. But they don’t.
Perhaps Rush is wrong, that McNabb’s notoriety comes not from his race, but from his personality as a leader, his quiet personal charm as a commercial spokesman and, most of all, his record of having led the Eagles to five NFC championship games in eight years, and one Super Bowl, without a marquee receiver for most of that time.
January 28th, 2009 at 6:45 pmSpeaking of Aholes -
The Tuesday night factor – O’Reilly did not put out a correction on the statement he made last night that every Illinois Governor who went to jail was a Democrat. Even when the Republican Illinois Governor George Ryan who served before Blagojevich is in prison right now serving six and a half years for corruption.
When you lie and are caught, just ignore it.

LTdan,
I have been the victim of reverse-racism and really hate it. Obama does not have a bit of it.
You cannot assume that Rev. Wright was his mentor. It looks like he went to that church because of the large amount of community work they did.
You are smarter than Obama? Does that really make sense since his two graduate schools were Columbia and Harvard, he got honor grades, and was head of the Harvard Law Review. Did you teach constitutional law for 12 years at the Univ of Chicago Law School?
from the wikipedia:
“Chicago’s faculty has the highest per capita article citation rate of any American law school. [2] Chicago ranks second on a ranking of the “Top 15 Schools From Which the Most ‘Prestigious’ Law Firms Hire New Lawyers”; second for “Faculty Quality”; third for “Supreme Court Clerkship Placement”; and fifth for “Student Quality”.[1] The Law School is also notable for having the third highest gross and second highest per capita placement of alumni as U.S. Supreme Court clerkships [3], with roughly 15-25% of each graduating class going on to clerkships at the federal or state level. Private career prospects are equally bright for graduates, placing highly into elite firms.”
January 28th, 2009 at 7:05 pm“…and I just read that O’Reilly got spanked on WW2 knowledge by Jessica Alba…”

I wanted to see it again to try to hear what Tweety was saying while Armey and Walsh were talking. It’s hard to sort out all of the voices. (Especially when I’m shouting FU at Armey at the same time.)

January 28th, 2009 at 7:34 pmOf course, that Dick Armey doesn’t have a sexist bone in his body…
January 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pmI don’t know if Rush is racist or not. But, I believe many of the racist comments that people object to is his distain for people being treated differently because they are different.
I think his parity of Barack the Magic Negro, originated because the phase was coined by a black columnist for the L.A. Times. I believe his issue at the time was ‘why can this columnist get away with saying something non blacks couldn’t.
I listen to Limbaugh’s show when black listeners call in. My experience that he doesn’t have an issue with race – he has an issue with liberal ideology. If you consider that 90-95% of blacks vote Democrat, you could see how that difference could be blurred.
Here’s a guy that fills in for Rush on occasion:
http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/
and here’s his call screener:
http://www.thepopulation.ca/voices/authors/pocobelli/articles/snerdley_revealed.html
If he’s that much a racist, why would he be working with these guys?
January 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pmThis is from a Feb 2003 column from Thomas Sowell:
Many of the comments sound racist. Sowell is a black man that thinks some of the judgements are misinformed.
I agree that when some of Limbaugh’s comments are taken out of context, they sound racist.
Is Limbaugh a racist? I’m not so sure.
January 28th, 2009 at 7:47 pmThis is from Thomas Sowell’s wikipedia:
Rush Limbaugh is an admirer of Sowell’s writing and considers him an “honest Thinker”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell
January 28th, 2009 at 7:48 pmbut but you can’t be racist if you are rich and powerful, racism is for white trash who belong to the KKK, actually admit to it, or use the word n****r.
January 28th, 2009 at 7:48 pmIf he’s that much a racist, why would he be working with these guys?
Of course, he’s not really working WITH them is he?
They’re really working FOR him.
And that’s not really the same thing at all is it?
And whether or not the ‘parody’ is in fact in ‘parity’ with the column in the LA times is debatable… but the comedy isn’t… Rush should stay away from comedy… and cheetos… both just make him look bad…
what am I saying? How can he stay away from comedy? The man is a walking parody!!!
January 28th, 2009 at 7:49 pmbelac. I think he works with Snerdley. And if he thought black people were inferior or just didn’t like them – he could get plenty of others beside Walter Williams to fill in. And why ‘admire’ Thomas Sowell, if you’re a racist?
January 28th, 2009 at 8:00 pmYes, backup…
January 28th, 2009 at 8:07 pmI know some of his best friends are black people… /eye roll/
and certainly people can have remarks taken out of context (and having listened to his show more often than I’d like to admit I know Rush knows all about that)but when the ‘context’ of almost everything you say needs to be explained by apologists in the media and Congress I would start to wonder if ‘context’ or ‘content’ is the problem…
(and again, having listened more often than I’d care to admit- I suspect it is the latter…)
Also- when you can fire or hire someone… they work for you not with you…

Because the phrase “magic negro” has a specific meaning in the context of literary criticism. I’d explain it, but presumably you can find an Internet yourself. Or not. But you don’t get to just lift it and use it in other contexts, applying it to anybody for any reason. That’s like saying that since the NAACP has “colored” in their name you can run around talking about “colored people.” You don’t even understand what you’re defending here.

January 28th, 2009 at 8:36 pmYou really don’t understand climate science , do you?
January 28th, 2009 at 8:41 pmHere’s a link to friends calling in to congratulate Limbaugh on a 20 year anniversary.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_073108/content/01125110.guest.html
Messages from Clarence Thomas and Ken Hutcherson.
They must have photoshopped the picture of Hutcherson and Limbaugh on the golf course.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:46 pmI personally feel “El Rushbo” fooled everyone w/ that bit about McNabb.
I watched MNF a couple of times when Rush was still on. Talk about a fifth wheel. He looked SOOOOO uncomfortable in that booth w/ REAL athletes, and they looked like they had no idea why he was there.
I think it was just matter of time before Rush got the boot, for all the right reasons, and he knew it and was afraid it would be embarrassing, on a NATIONAL basis. So he manufactured a non-existent controversy as a smokescreen.
I mean, really… does Donovan McNabb need to defend his record as a pro quarterback? How many times has he played in an NFC championship game? How many Pro Bowls has he been to?
If Donovan had just laughed at Rush and asked him when was the last time Rush had seen the tops of his own shoes, everyone would have LAUGHED at Rush and seen right thru it. As it is, Rush got waaaaaay too much mileage out of that nonsense.
The best way to deal w/ Rush is to laugh at him. And not in a good way.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:01 pmglezzery,
January 28th, 2009 at 9:03 pmFreezing temperatures in DC in January???
Wow this proves those tens of thousands of expert climate scientists wrong! [snark]
Well what exactly were you saying if not that?
January 28th, 2009 at 9:04 pmWhy was Rush fired from ESPN again? Oh, yeah.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:04 pmWow B-cup, you certainly have a high level for the burden of proof of racism.
Look at the pattern.
Everyone in the public eye is going to check impulses that might threaten a career. No one with any kind of sense of career self-preservation is going to meet the burden of proof you have set here. Racist thoughts will be couched in language just obscure enough so that your like-minded audience will get what you’re saying, but your statement can be defended before fair-minded folks like yourself who are willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “dog whistle” right?
But the pattern is clear. The fact that a single far-right columnist who happens to be black and thinks Rush is a super swell guy hardly excuses the long, long pattern of racist comments and attempts at humor that constitute Rush’s body of work in this area.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:12 pmralph. Here’s from the link when people were calling in to congratulate Rush on his 20 year anniversary:
Does this really sound like the kind of relationship you would have if you were a racist?
I’m not dismissing the comments. My point is that they have an ideological origin, not a racial one.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:17 pmSo… your point is that because Rush lets some like-minded black folk hang out with him, he’s not racist?
Again, B-cup; racism is not limited to an active and public aversion to other races. Since that kind of attitude went out of fashion among decent society a few decades ago (in most parts of the nation, at least) anyone who harbors any racist feelings and wants to be part of decent society (or wingnut society, as the case may be) will avoid expressing those attitudes. But they will come out, especially if one makes a living talking extemporaneously over the radio.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:17 pmralph. did you consider my point that because blacks vote Democrat at a rate of 90-95% that the distinction could be blurred?
January 28th, 2009 at 9:21 pmGlezzery
January 28th, 2009 at 9:26 pmI mean no disrespect but I sort of doubt you would recognize COOLNESS
Republicans craft their messages to appeal to racists, bigots, homophobes, and xenophobes. These are the targets of their daily propaganda. These are the people whose support they seek. And they wonder why we think ill of them.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:29 pmrhf. you can insinuate that Clarence Thomas, Ken Hutcherson, Bo Snerdley, Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams are ‘uncle toms’ based on there relationships with Limbaugh – and you consider him the racist?
you can do better than that.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:35 pmno, b-cup, I don’t see how that difference could be “blurred”. If Rush had a problem with liberal ideology he would criticize that ideology. He would not have to mention race at all.
Yet he calls the president a “little black man-child”.
He revels in a parody song “Barack the Magic Negro”.
He attributes Donovan McNabb’s success to his race.
He says that he and his fellow pundits are supposed to “bend over and grab their ankles” BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT’S FATHER WAS BLACK.
That’s not “blurring a line”, B-cup. That is focusing on race as a defining characteristic of other human beings.
THAT is racist.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:36 pmWayne. Republicans have a problem with the associations you mention. They need to do a lot more to distance themselves from those characterizations. you’re right.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:37 pmB-cup, why do you keep insisting that having black folks in your circle of friends means you’re not racist?
This is what I meant by your incredibly high burden of proof of this judgment.
For someone to be characterized as a racist for you, it seems one must behave like George Wallace or Sheriff Jim Clark.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:40 pmI guess the character of Archie Bunker wasn’t a bigot because he let Lionel into his house and Sammy Davis Jr. kissed him.
Interesting. I’m going to have to watch All in the Family again, this time with a new understanding of Archie’s open-mindedness.
Thanks, b-cup.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:44 pmralph. I disagree. If you consider the little black man-child comment, the McNabb comment, and the grab you ankles comment – he is refuting the idea that equal treatment isn’t being exercised in those instances. If he thinks (rightly or wrongly) that Obama or McNabb are being held to a different standard due to there race, it seems legitimate for him to refuse to accept what he believes is a double standard.
The Barack the Magic Negro was a statement about the double standard of how a black liberal columnist from the L.A. Times could call candidate Obama a Magic Negro and conservatives could never get away with it – another double standard.
I think the comments set Rush back. I think they hurt the Republican party, because of what Wayne says above. And they definitely fuel Liberals.
But, to the heart of the thread, is he personally a racist? I think there is enough evidence from his personal relationships that cast doubt on that assertion.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:50 pmI’ve got to split (wife threatening to kill me), but thanks for the reasonable debate. good nite.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:53 pmThe point is, b-cup, that he thinks they’re being held to a different standard because he’s focused on their race. If there was some demonstrable disparity of treatment in either case, you might have an argument. But both statements are patently absurd.
Obama was elected president, we’re in a national crisis, and conventional wisdom says to support our new president, who happens to be very popular. The pressure to support him and to see him succeed has nothing to do with his skin color. Yet that’s all Rush sees.
Why does this have to keep getting explained? The column in question discussed a well-known literary device and suggested Obama might be filling that “wise and serving black man” role for many. The phrase “Magic Negro” is a useful one in criticism and not a simple racial epithet.
Is this the sense in which the parody song uses the term? No. It uses it to cast ridicule and scorn on the Democratic candidate for president based strictly on his skin color.
In other words, B-cup, the columnist used the term responsibly, the “parodist” simply used it as a punch line.
Yeah, the pattern of racial comments means nothing compared to who’s in his “Five”.
Good point, B-cup.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:01 pmMaybe you’d better educate us then. I was under the impression that Rush played the song over and over on his radio program, thus giving it exposure to a concentrated audience perfectly suited to eat it up.
Was I wrong about that?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:04 pmglezzery:
January 28th, 2009 at 10:04 pmAre you still yapping? Did you want to talk about anything specific?

Wayne. Republicans have a problem with the associations you mention. They need to do a lot more to distance themselves from those characterizations. you’re right.
NO—-they use such characterizations to gain a certain percentage of votes—-those of the racists. “Vote for liberals and your children will have to go to school with Blacks.” “Vote for liberals and Blacks will take your job.” “Vote for liberals and a Black man will marry your daughter.”
They realize it is best to use code. That way they can get the votes of racists and not lose the votes of people who oppose racism.

That was only this election. Have you considered that black people have been driven away from the Republican party in droves by all of the racist behavior of Republican mouthpieces and elected officials? The party has control over what kinds of people it attracts, through its positions and behavior. Although it has made a few overtures at attracting black people, those are quickly undermined by a wide variety of slights and clueless behavior.

I don’t know too much about the other guys, but I can definitely assert that Clarence Thomas is an “Uncle Tom” based on his long and distinguished career as one. But none of that absolves Rush from the things he says on the talky-box.
.

The assertion that there is a double standard, based on no evidence, is a racist assertion. There is no other reason for it than Rush’s own cognitive filter.
.
backup Says:
The Barack the Magic Negro was a statement about the double standard of how a black liberal columnist from the L.A. Times could call candidate Obama a Magic Negro and conservatives could never get away with it – another double standard.
I already discussed this. There are appropriate contexts in which certain terms may be used, and you should know that to lift them out of those contexts amounts to a racist insult. The phrase “magic negro” as used in the LA times article was employed in the appropriate context. It was not appropriate the way it was used in that song. In fact, the use of the term “negro” in the original context intentionally points out the racism inherent in the use of that literary device.
Rush just said it because he thinks its funny to say “negro” a lot, and he is ignorant enough to believe that the LA Times article gave him a free pass.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well you are wrong. I assume you mean parody except it wasnt a parody it was an excuse to call Barak a negro over and over and NO it wasnt coined by the columnist. I read the term used by Spike Lee at least a year before that column came out. He was complaining about a type of character like Bagger Vance or the character in the Green Mile that is black and supernatural and exist to serve the white man. I think his argument was strained but it was a legitimate race relations discussion. What Limbaugh did was flat out racist and it is just silly to accept his self serving argument that he was just doing what the columnist did because that is not only dumb it is an outright lie. The columnist WAS using the term as it was meant to be used even if HE also strained logic to make his argument. Rush just used the term to call Barak a negro over and over and there was NO legitimate point to it.

It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true. -Martin Luther King, Jr.
