Limbaugh says we need to return to ‘segregated buses.’
Last week, a video of a school bus beating showing two African American children assaulting a white student began circulating the internet. Despite claims by authorities that the attack was not necessarily racially motivated, hate radio host Rush Limbaugh jumped on the story and claimed that in “Obama’s America the white kids now get beat up.” Yesterday, Limbaugh proposed a solution to this problem — a return to segregated busing:
LIMBAUGH: I think the guy’s wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama’s America.

I’m all for a segregated society, a society in which so-called “conservatives” are shunned, turned away and not hired for anything, let alone elected to anything.
I am so sick of all the time and energy wasted on those morons, only to eventually prove them wrong.
Who wants a sweaty old fat pig like Limpballs living next door?
I don’t.
He’s a walking offense, a crime against aesthetics and beauty.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:02 amWords simply cannot describe what a despicable waste of human flesh (and a lot of flesh) is our boy Rush.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:02 amA call for segregation? How long before Rush tries to defend the evils of slavery? Oh wait, I forgot, he already did.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:03 amLIMBAUGH: I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today.
Really? Do you have a copy of a secret educational curriculum? Do you have video of a progressive, liberal, commie, feminazis, islamofascist teaching something like this? Or, as is more likely, did you just pull this giant piece of crap out of your more gigantic a** as you tend to do so often?

September 17th, 2009 at 10:09 amThe Rush express stays clearly off the tracks. I have nothing but contempt for this slobbering bag gelatinous bullsh!t.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:09 amI’m sure we can depend on storm to provide us a link and transcript of “the rest of what he said”. I mean, he is the watchdog of all time!

September 17th, 2009 at 10:10 am“This is Obama’s America.”
____________________________________________________________
What does this mean, exactly? That kids never beat up other kids on school buses before Obama became President?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:11 amSegregated busses? Let’s take a big leap back to about 1870.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:11 amWhat a jerk!
Limpballs has really “jumped the shark” this time. Now that he has lost all that weight, he has returned to drinking “adult beverages”. What part of being an alcoholic/addict does he not understand?
I remained mystified about how this a**hole has remained on the radio and held an audience for all these years. The only answer I can come up with is that he and his listeners share one very important characteristic — they all rode the “short bus” to school right up until the day that they flunked out.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am“We need segregated buses…”
From the man who claims he’s not a racist.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:12 amSegregated buses going to a non-segregated school.
Such genius.
Not.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:13 amLimbaugh says we need to return to ‘segregated buses.’
– - Are we going to need separate buses for every ethnicity, Rush? An Asian bus, an East Indian bus, a European bus (with sub-buses for Irish, Italian, German, etc.)? Who’s gonna foot that bill, Rushbo?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:13 amSeptember 17th, 2009 at 10:14 am
I wonder how long he’s been waiting for the right situation to call for return to segregation. Wasn’t this always ‘not a question of if but when’? They (the racists) need to do something before they become a powerless minority.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:15 amWow.
I’ll go out on a limb here, and make a prediction:
A high-profile voice on the right will, sometime within the next year, use an explicit racial epithet against the president.
My sincere hope is that this will (finally) unleash a backlash, rather than open the floodgates.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:15 amSTORM says:
Where is the rest of what he said? Just another cherry picked sound bite.
What possible context would make that OK? Are you suggesting that it was prefaced with “Here’s something I’d never say?”
Try this: click play on the embedded link, and listen to the full quote.
You’re a racist for defending racism.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:16 amBlimpBlobs all time best idea: Deport drug addicts.
You first Lush.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:16 amSo in addition to all the other nasty things we can say about Limbaugh, we can add segregationist to the list. I bet Rosa Parks would love to kick the shiznizzle out of the Limbaugh maggot.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:16 amYou mean the part were he refutes himself and calls himself a despicable anti-American for making such a statement? Just like TP to take Rush’s Oxy-fueled rantings out of context.
Why don’t you find the complete text and publish it here? Otherwise, we’ll think you’re just another brainless zombie, apologizing for this junkie-propagandist.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:16 amLimbaugh continues to walk on his dark and fearful path dragging other fearful people with him. He keeps ratcheting up the fear that people of color will treat people of no color in the manner that people of no color treated people of color historically.
For a very large man, Rush is truly a very small man on the inside. Miniscule, really.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:16 amso then guessing you also mean that the whites get bus to charter schools and the others get to go to public schools? is this what you mean rushboilbutt ?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:16 amThe fat man is usin’ crank now. I wonder how many ditto heads will be signing on to this GOP platform.

I see Rush’s syphilitic fever has cause him to mouth nonsense on the air again.
Same shit tomorrow.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:21 amDoesn’t really matter if he’s being sarcastic or not, aaronk.
He’s mouthed the words all the racists in his audience want to hear. The ‘truth’. He’s sent the message–all across the country, at the speed of light. Mission accomplished.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:23 amLimbaugh is just another crazy racist who wants to blow this situation out of proportion. Clearly the victim was targeted by a bully(ies). I saw only one black kid doing all of the punching and I also saw a white kid laughing while others just watched.
Limbaugh is absolutely vile and disgusting. It’s time for him to lose advertisers.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:23 amaaronk says:
I can’t stand Rush, but I just listened to this clip, and please tell me that you guys realize he is being sarcastic right?
The standard excuse for Rush: It’s just a joke, he’s just being sarcastic, he’s just an entertainer. Well that’s just bull. Words have meaning, words have purpose, words can kill.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:23 amNo white kids ever got beat up in the US until Obama became president.
**eyes rolling**
September 17th, 2009 at 10:23 amSo tell me STORM, since you spend so much of the time with your tongue up Rush’s ass, are the boils still active?
You know, you probably aren’t such a vile human being as you think you are. Try engaging with humans and smiling, you might find that you like positive attention as much as the negative you crave.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:23 amRush used to work in the sports world (KC Royals) and I’m sure he will be willing to help David Stern (and the other pro commissioners) to sell tickets to the CEO’s for the White NBA, or the White NFL.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:23 amSTORM says:You have no clue what racism is.
and you have no clue!!!!!!!!!
oh you know you can leave your closet in your basement at your mom`s house and go to most any street corner and buy one for about a buck.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:24 amIf a white kid gets beaten up in a hallway, will we need segregated hallways?
How about sidewalks?
Bathrooms?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:24 amLintball, the racist hate-monger, has never before known that school kids on a bus get into fights over seats. Wow! This must be rampant reverse-racism, all Obama’s fault, too!
After the integration of he mid-1950’s the loud-mouth, fact-free, drug-addled, fat-ass, bloviator wants to return to those days.
BTW, speaking of fact-free, fat-ass bloviators, Dick Cheney is having back surgery today — I think they are looking up his ass in search of his heart.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:25 amI think that people who mentally live in the 1650’s (and that’s being generous) should physically live in the 1650’s. This means Rush needs to give up his radio job…
September 17th, 2009 at 10:25 amDunno. Dont care. This guy, Limpscrawl, is not witty enough to pull it off in my opinion.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:25 amSo, all those sexual and physical assaults on school buses documented from 2001 through 2008 were representative of “Bush’s America”? And, no, trolls I’m not going to post any links – as you are wont to say, do your own research.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:27 amignorant hillbillies love rush
he makes them feel all manly because he talks tough and he also has man-titties
September 17th, 2009 at 10:27 amNo, STORM, thats your point.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:28 amObviously this guy never road the school bus, maybe he was too fat to actually get on, you know hate adds pounds.
Come on any kid who’s rode the bus knows that it’s pretty easy to get into a fight over seating. That’s why a smart bus driver would do assigned seating, which will suck for some kids but at least it takes away one more thing to fight about.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:28 amDont forget water fountains Zooster
September 17th, 2009 at 10:29 amLimbaugh’s listeners take his word as gospel and not just sarcasm.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:30 amI realize Limbaugh was probably being sarcastic when he proclaimed that two black kids beating up a white kid over his choice of seat on a school bus was “justifiable racism”. I’m sure he meant to imply this is some kind of “liberal viewpoint”.
But really — I don’t know ANYONE, liberal or conservative, who thinks that beating up a kid over a bus seat is “justifiable”, whether race was a factor or not.
Straw man on Limbaugh’s part. But why am I not surprised?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:30 amMarie – Republicans had control of the country for 20 of the last 28 years, except for Bill Clinton’s 8 years and Obama’s 8 months. Makes perfect sense to blame Obama for everything… (shaking head)
September 17th, 2009 at 10:31 amlimpballs’ audience is pre-screened for gullibility so they can easily be sold adjustable beds and reverse mortgages
he makes sure to drive intelligent listeners away, therefore maximizing the value for the advertisers
September 17th, 2009 at 10:31 amWell, what can I say? Just when you think the Repugs couldn’t sink any lower. They come out with sh*t like this. You know, back in the day, Limbaugh was much more subtle. Since Obama’s nomination sublity has flown out the window into full-blown race baiting and racism. Man, these guys have no eye for the future. They want us to revert backwards. Well, for Rush and all his minions, they better get used to being the MINORITY. Because in a couple of decades, they will be.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:31 amRACISM IS TODAY’S PREDOMINANT REPUBLICANISM
Would “intelligent” Republicans who claim that African American descendants of slavery harbor feelings of racism toward White Americans also claim that the descendants of the victims of the Holocaust harbor feelings of anti-Nazism toward neo-Nazis? If their ancestors had been enslaved and murdered by White Americans, what would they feel toward White red-neck hillbilly crackers still talking about Secession and waving rebel flags and actively promoting American neo-Nazi groups? Is there a Black KKK in America? Is there a Black neo-Nazi movement in America? Are there Black politicians suggesting that their states secede from the United States? Are there any Country Clubs in America who don’t accept White members? Are there literally thousands, perhaps millions, of towns and cities throughout America where White men and women are pulled over by the police simply because they’re driving through a predominantly Black neighborhood? Are there any “intelligent” non-racist Republicans in America?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:32 amWell, I dont wish bad on anyone, but at least he wont be on the iganant box bleating his case for a while.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:32 amIt is amusing that the same trolls that defend the fascist Republican agenda day after day come out to defend Limbaugh when he preaches segregation.
As if African Americans were not beaten up by whites on buses in the past. News flash for ya wingnuts, African Americans were tortured and killed for trying to use whites only buses.
Only a Republican would be low enough to defend the indefensible.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:33 amI’ll save them some time.

Violence! On school buses! In George W. Bush’s America!
September 17th, 2009 at 10:35 amRush is a very dangerous man….I hope the FBI is watching him closely and keeping a file on him!
September 17th, 2009 at 10:35 amAnymore all republicans make me sick, every last one of them!!!
hey rush, when you got beaten up, it wasn’t because you are ghost-white, it’s because you run your trap but are too much of a pansy ass wimp to back it up
just like your audience, especially stormy
September 17th, 2009 at 10:35 amIts weird that Mush Pimpjob says its Obamas America..really does he think the president owns the country and thereby him?
Its BS, of course, but his alienated base will slurp it like an ICEE on a summer day.

And do you have proof that he was being sarcastic?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:39 amhey Guys, Rush is on to something.
People in his economic bracket don’t ride the school bus, they have the chaufer take them to school.
By making the logistics of the school bus impossible, he is assuring his listeners that people like them (in the lower 50% of income) won’t be able to attend the same school as his rich kids.
Likewise, he will be forcing all those right-wing people to home school. That way they can pull their funding out of public schools and let them collapse – which they’ve wanted to do for quite some time.

September 17th, 2009 at 10:46 amaaronk, sarcasm or not the tone is dangerous and inflamatory. Defending Rush puts you on the side of the alarmists.

Sheesh. More of the ‘do you still beat your wife?’ nonsensical logic. Fact is, Aaron K., that what I think of Van or Wright has no correlation as to my opinion of Wuss StinkBomb.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:48 amHe probably meant the “segregated busses” as sarcasm…but he injected race into the conversation in the first damn place. Only Rush (or any of the other right-wing toads that sprung up ad naseaeum in the 90s to follow in his extremely ample footsteps) would find the asinine video and use it to stir up racial animosity.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:49 am@69, Sarcastic? Limpballs meant every word. These guys are taking an incident, (Which wasn’t racist by the way) and turning it into a battle cry for a race war. Sarcastic? Don’t insult US. You may have ears and a brain, but you are obviously as dumb as a bag of hammers.

No, I like those two. I think they’re both great people who got screwed by the conservative hate machine.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:49 amIt’s astonishing to me that anyone can listen to Limbaugh and continue to deny he’s a racist and, frankly, that he’s as obviously batshit as Glenn Beck. Just take a look at what he’s saying on his show this morning.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Uh, you are part of his audience, and you are an overt racist. Perhaps not everyone in his audience is racist, but I’m sure you are a good example.

September 17th, 2009 at 10:50 amI once posted a comment a few years ago to the effect that the Republicans perhaps should allow a Democrat to win the presidency after Dumbya because they can’t keep on blaming Clinton for everything that goes wrong forever. Well, now they do have their new scapegoat, though they haven’t given up blaming Clinton entirely.

September 17th, 2009 at 10:51 amThe right-whiners have been cherry-picking the statements of anyone with whom they disagree for decades. They cut & paste statements from anyone who isn’t a right-whiner, and claim it’s the only thing the person is saying.
Basically, these right-whiners they’ve been lying through their teeth without remorse or apology.
Rush has been known to support slavery, and made numerous racist, sexist and anti-American statements of his own, but now he’s suddenly an “expert” on what constitutes racism?
All Rush has to do is look at his past statements to learn what true racism is, and stop spreading mendacity about others. I won’t hold my breath waiting for him to acknowledge the truth, that would take an act of God.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:51 am76.
Calling the president a liar isn’t racist. A member of a neo-Confederate group who supports the confederate flag and slammed the mixed-race daughter of Storm Thurmond as an insult to Thurmond calling the President a liar during a speech to Congress sure as hell is a racist.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:51 amReally? I have criticised some things I dont agree with and was never called a racist.

“LIMBAUGH: I mean, how far have we come? How Orwellian the establishment has become? Any criticism of Obama’s political agenda is pronounced blatant racism…”
September 17th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Funny that Rush completely forgets that any criticism of Former Pres. Bush and his partisan political agenda was pronounced as “supporting the terrorists”.
Then again, that would be asking Rush to acknowledge his hypocrisy. That just aint gonna happen.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:54 amAnd Rush Limbaugh’s America is an America few want: racist, hate-filled, dishonest, & violent. Limbaugh’s America.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:54 amLimbaugh: ugly on the inside, as well as the outside.
To recap:
Rush is the acknowledged head of the Republican Party.
Republicans are the Party of old white males, concentrated in the Southern States
Rush is calling for a return to segregation.
That would make the Republican Party racist. Wonder if we’ll see this as part of the Party platform in 2012?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:55 amI’ve seen KO and Rachel Madow criticize the Obama administration on several things and no mention of race was involved. hmmmmm.

September 17th, 2009 at 10:57 amrush just loves to pump his frightened audience of cowards full of fear
they eat it up
of course, they aren’t very bright
September 17th, 2009 at 10:58 amTrolls really need dictionaries. “Sarcastic” is the wrong word for what Limbaugh says. “Bombastic” is the correct word.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:58 amAbout Darth Cheney’s back surgery –
In preparation for the government “death panels”, I heard that a test run was done to decide upon his surgery.
Four panelists voted to “pull the plug”. Three voted to let him have the surgery but without anesthesia.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:58 ampoor little erronk, has to pretend to be a businessman so we won’t find out he still lives in the back of his mom’s trailer and has to stay hidden in his room until the current uncle “john” leaves
must be sad to be such a tiny minded redneck pansy
September 17th, 2009 at 10:59 amWonder if this wienie would have come up with this comment if the roles had been reversed? Probably not!!!
September 17th, 2009 at 10:59 amTo be fair, Rush flies all over the place with so many of his off-the-handle comments, that it is difficult to tell where anything is anymore. He’s not even trying to discuss things calmly; he’s just spouting words.
If he denies anything he said, I wouldn’t be surprised if people gave him a break, just because he’s all over the GOP map trying to touch as many bases as possible.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:00 amchir@90, How can these guys defend the indefensible? What kind of people can do that? This is obviously racist and uncivlized. Calling for segregation in this day and age is unexcusible. These guys are telling us what we are seeing isn’t racist. WTF? What is their description of racist?

look, to say that Rush’s audience is full of racists, and to say that calling Obama is a liar is racist is just small minded petty idiotic partisan hackjob tactics. I agree with many of you guys on many things, but I am sure glad that I don’t have your hate-filled attitude and paint millions of people whom I dont know with a broad brush of misunderstanding.
And yet you defend Rush when he insists the bus incident was racist (and the result of having Obama as president), even when the officer actually investigating the incident says it wasn’t a racial attack.

September 17th, 2009 at 11:25 amFirst, of all, Joe Wilson did not criticize President Obama for anything substantive. He heckled him as “a liar,” when, in fact, the bill in question clearly says that people in the US illegally will not be eligible. The only thing completely substantive here is the text of the proposal, which both you and Wilson are ignoring.
I personally know some Caucasians as well as Asians–for that matter–who occasionally criticize Obama or express disappointment with him without being racist. But you, errornk, give yourself away with expressions like “their savior” and “super-bama.” It is also more than a bit strange that you are spending so much time defending Rush, whom you claim not to stand.
they (Rachel M., Keith O.) rarely criticize their savior, but if they did, they wouldn’t be called a racist because they are liberals. Only conservatives who criticize a black person for something completely substantive (nothing to do with race) get these accusations from the left who has run out of options while super-bama’s popularity plummets
September 17th, 2009 at 11:26 amLIMBAUGH: “Any criticism of Obama’s political agenda is pronounced blatant racism…”
___________________________________________________________
“Pronounced” by whom? There has been plenty of criticism of President Obama’s political agenda, by both progressives and conservatives — as there has historically been for any president’s agenda.
So what’s racism and what isn’t? If a libertarian opposes the establishment of new government programs and has held this view for many years through several presidential administrations, I wouldn’t label his opposition to a government-administrated public health insurance option as “racist” merely because the president is biracial. That would most likely be his position no matter who was president.
However, there seem to be a number of issues where a lot of conservatives have done abrupt about-faces on their positions since Obama became president. For example, Bush running up the national debt to fund wars based on lies was perfectly OK, but when Obama wants to spend money to stimulate the economy, all of a sudden every wingnut is an overnight debt alarmist.
The first biracial president has brought along a number of other interesting “firsts”:
– First president to be criticized for using a teleprompter when giving speeches, even though every president has used one since the device was invented.
– First president to have widespread doubt cast regarding his birth. No other president has had to put up with this to the degree Barack Obama has.
– First president to be condemned for having “czars”, even though he’s not the first president to have them. He doesn’t even hold the record for the most — that honor goes to GWB.
– First president to be openly catcalled with “you lie!” during a joint address to Congress. No other president has been that blatantly disrespected — at least not during the age of television, for which we have a record.
And this is just a partial list. Are we supposed to just figure that all this stupid stuff that never mattered before and magically became important recently just coincidentally happened at the same time a biracial man became president?
It’s enough to make a reasonable person go “hmmmm…”. But in all fairness, it may not all be race motivated. I’m sure some of it has to do with the fact President Obama is a Democrat — and any Democrat sitting in the White House would drive the wingnuts crazy.

You have no clue what racism is.
Yes I do. But I know it also includes people who defend racists.
Ever wonder why it took a century after emancipation for civil rights to pass, even though true virulent racists have always been a minority? Well, of course you don’t, but I’ll tell you anyways. Because of the second group of people who allow the virulent racists to have their way. The lunch counter manager who even though they don’t hold racist beliefs still won’t hire or serve black people because they might lose business from racists. It’s that group that most enforces the tyranny of the majority. Without their help, the hardcore racists wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Rush made an explicitly racist statement. He is a racist. But you are defending his statement. Whether or not you hold racist views personally, you value the opinion and goodwill of real racists over standing up against racism.
This isn’t just something I made up. There’s a lot of literature on the subject of “hard” vs. “soft” racism. I recommend you look into it.

president Obama’s approval rating
I think what they’re pointing out is that since Obama’s approval rating is in range of normal Presidents instead of being sky-high like in the beginning of his term, that means he’s doing a bad job. At least, that’s what I think they’re trying to say. Right-wingers talking about approval ratings gets a little weird; in their world, 60% can be horrible if it’s a Democrat, whereas 20% can be great if it’s a Republican.

September 17th, 2009 at 11:53 am*I feel this way about Rush “F uck Head” Limbaugh.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:55 am“Rush the Tragic Racist”
Yeah…
September 17th, 2009 at 11:55 amRush, the tragic racist,
Loves the Oxy-C
And frolicked on his vacation
With underage kiddies.
An ignorant troll named watchdog
Loved that rascal Rush,
And brought him some Viagra
And other fancy stuff.
Rush, the tragic racist,
Loves the Oxy-C
And frolicked on his vacation
With underage kiddies.Oh!
(repeat)
Together they would travel
On a boat with Joel Surnow.
Watchdog kept a lookout perched
On Rush’s stubby pole.
Dominican drug dealers and pimps
Would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags
When Rush roared out his name. Oh!
Rush, the tragic racist,
Loves the Oxy-C
And frolicked on his vacation
With underage kiddies. Oh!
(repeat)
The racist avoided combat,
with bleeding hemorrhoids.
Wrapped himself up in a flag
and chased some little boys.
One grey night it happened,
Watchdog came back for more
But Rush the tragic racist,
Would fu(k him nevermore.
His fists now clenched in anger,
Oxycontin fell like rain,
And Rush no longer went
Into that dark hole again.
Watchdog had grown too old,
For Rush’s sexual game,
Cause Rush the tragic racist
Prefers a young boy slave.
Rush, the tragic racist,
Loves the Oxy-C
And frolicked on his vacation
With underage kiddies.
. Oh!
(repeat)
No…oh…Do you ever think about me anymore…no…yeah…say oh…

September 17th, 2009 at 11:56 amThe funny thing is that if Rush was not a right-whiner, all the right-whiners would be attacking him for using his infected a-hole to get out of the draft for Vietnam.
Because he is a right-whiner, Rush gets a pass by the right-whiners. Double standards that are conveniently ignored by some.
If this was a right-whiner web-site Storm and aaronk would have been banned at the first anti-right-whiner post. Here at Think Progress, they’re allowed to express their views in a free-speech format, as long as they follow some simple established rules.
Anti-right-whiners seem to be the only ones who truly support free-speech. Go figure.

September 17th, 2009 at 12:03 pmThat Limbaugh is a hate-filled racist windbag is no longer a question. The real question is why he is still on the air. The sane world should be boycotting his advertisers as well as the stations that elect to broadcast his brand of filth over the airwaves. If enough of us do it, my guess is he won’t be on the air much longer.
September 17th, 2009 at 12:04 pmOops! aaronk just inadvertantly admitted that his issues and points are not legitimate.

Given the need for four sets of buses- thus tripling the fleet- the stimulus effect on domestic manufacturing and hiring would be positively Obamaesque!

You see, when I talk to moderates and old school conservatives about the things you say, they just can’t believe it.
But I send them here or show it to them and there it is, right before their eyes.
You make my job easy. You have helped destroy one of the oldest political parties in America. Good job.
September 17th, 2009 at 12:18 pmWhen you put things in a racial context intended to reduce the freedom and opportunity for a group of people, it is racism. Attacks on Obama for stuff that other Presidents have done have no other explanation. When racism keeps people from supporting things that will make their live better, it is sad. Is the paranoia of the racist because the fear that a successful black President will prove that racism is evil and destructive. When these people attack the opportunity for the kinds of improvements that this President is working toward because of race we are all discriminated against.
September 17th, 2009 at 12:18 pmFour surgeons were arguing about which type of patients were easiest to work on. The first said he preferred Librarians, because the organs were all arranged alphabetically, and neatly filed. The second said he preferred Electricians, because everything was color-coded. The third said he liked Engineers, because everything was laid out in easy-access, and they didn’t really mind if some of the parts didn’t fit when you sewed them up. The fourth said he liked working on Republicans best. After noticing shocked looks form his friends, he said, “They have no brain, no heart, no spine, and their rectum and mouth are interchangeable.”
September 17th, 2009 at 12:19 pmIt is so like the schoolyard bully to spout hateful words, then defend it by “just kidding.”
Too many of his listeners are irony-deprived, and will take this as truth.
Might as well just say, “Back o’ the bus, n*****” then say, “Hey, it’s a joke, right?”
September 17th, 2009 at 12:19 pmPoor dumb Stormy. He probably believes the the teabaggers weren’t organized by Dick Armey’s Freedom Works. Or does he think only the reich whould be allowed to have any clout behind them. We have Soros and Podesta and they have Murdoch and Ailes. And still they whine.

He makes school yard arguments that are juvenile in nature.All of us can remember these kinds of discussions .For example,why not have White History Month if you have a Black History Month? He is obviously appealing to the same people who are not interested in facts.Also,there is no accountibility or consequences for lying and spreading falsehoods.Think -1.2million at the DC rally and a false picture to prove it.The public will have to be informed enough to make them accountible but,sadly,they are not.

September 17th, 2009 at 12:54 pmI never thought I’d be able to write something too vile about Pudge Limpdiddler, but a comment I submitted yesterday ended up in moderation. I haven’t figured out if it was because I applied the nickname “Lumpy” to him or if it was something else. I only used one four letter epithet and that was a synonym for shit that gets thrown around all the time. I suppose I should go look at the site rules of the road sometime.
Anyway, time marches on and Lumpy “Racisms-R-Us” Pudge Limpdiddler has demonstrated in the (n+1)th instance that he is at heart, a loudmouthed bigot with access to a microphone. I was ready to consider the matter closed regarding Lumpy’s racism back when the Donovan McNabb biz hit the news, but oh, no, a whole lot of people thought that was picking on the fat boy. I’m sure the trolls whined about it for months, if not years. The arse is a racist, or a would be racist.
For the benefit of the trolls, a racist is a person from a group who is 1) a bigot regarding ethnic groups, and 2) whose group holds the dominant political power in a community, region or nation. Bigots are everywhere, in every group, whether it be a social, political, ethnic, or religious class, but if you’re in a dominant ethnic class, you’re a racist. Ergo, white American ethnic bigots are, generally, racists, particularly if their bigotry concerns African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Latin Americans who don’t appear to be ‘purely’ European in origin. Racism is a social construct which can be dealt with in various ways by a society; bigotry is ingrained in the personality and is not particularly amenable to social correction, but can be socially suppressed. If you’re a bigot, you’ve got to man up to enough good will to correct it yourself.
Lumpy has no such good will, and he makes too much money to give up on being a racist. Besides, if he can’t spew hate, what the frack will he do for the rest of his drug addled life?
September 17th, 2009 at 12:57 pmReal quick, and I apologize if it’s already been said, but I will be for this segregation if it only includes obese, drug addicted older white men who like to visit islands in the Caribbean for a little something something with underage boys, being sent to the back of the bus!

September 17th, 2009 at 1:28 pmFinally we know the plan they had all along right after Jan. 20th. Now we can look forward to Republican Leader Rush Limbaugh and the KKK will support a New President for the United States. Like maybe McCain/Palin will get to be in half of the White House as Obama/Biden take the other half. Now as for the American people we will be divided and Rush will win. As Lincoln said ” A house divided can’t stand”. We might be saying good why to the United States of America that we know.

September 17th, 2009 at 2:46 pmRush is carried by most Clear Channel Communications stations across the country.
People have been asking for a way to make their voices heard in rejecting Rush’s latest puke.
Here’s a suggestion. Start small but well targeted.
Clear Channel’s FLAGSHIP radio station, WOAI is in San Antonio, Texas. According to the WOAI website, they proudly carry Beck from 9-11am, Rush from 11-2pm and Hannity from 2-5pm EVERYDAY.
Clear Channel’s WOAI website is http://www.woai.com. Their contact numbers are: Phone:(210) 736-9700 Fax:(210) 735-8811
Look over the website. Observe their advertisers and call to tell them what you think of Rush and his racism. Be polite!
The Mays family will get the message.

September 17th, 2009 at 6:21 pmFirst of all, I thiink Limbaugh is one of the biggest pieces of trash on the face of the planet, and wish he would gargle with Drain-o. That being said, anyone who thinks that race had nothing to do with this is flat-out ignorant.
I grew up as a “Half-breed” In Over-The-Rhine cincinnati (Mom is Native American, dad white), so I have a pretty decent take on this subject. (Being the pale-faced minority)Trust me, if this kid that got beat down was black, this wouldn’t have happened.
People tend to turn a blind eye to the fact that racism exist on both sides (Actually, they’re to pussified to admit it). It doens’t matter if its revers, upside-down, or sideways, racism is just that….racism. We would all agree the Klan is racist trash heaps, but several people on this site would probably sto short of saying the same thing about the Black Panthers. I didn’t say everyone, but some. Bottom line, racism exist in all planes, and from all angles.
And, just my opinion, just because someone disagrees with Obama, that doesn’t make them a racist. When people make that statement too much, it becomes a “little boy who cried wolf” scenario. If you believe me to be an idiot, fair enough, but before you dissent, let me ask you this: Are Rangel, Cynthiana Mckinney, and other senators/reps of color racist because they disagreed with Bush? I’m just sayin…..

You want us to be silent about racism? It seems to racism apologists, it’s not the racism that we should be outraged about, but rather the outrage itself and that the racism isn’t racist, but rather the outrage itself. Racism should be called out when it bears its ugly head and no one is going to intimidate us into silence. Sorry…
September 18th, 2009 at 1:12 amCraig, you ignore the fact that African-American leaders have faced attempts to de-legitimize them. Take for example black leaders in the Reconstruction era. They faced dehumanizing caricatures from those “honorable” white Southerners who wanted to suggest that they were too stupid and uncivilized to lead society. Fast-forward to today, and you have a movement that questions Obama’s legitimacy suggesting that he was born in Kenya. Look at the fringe’s racist signs telling him to “go back to Africa.”
Bush faced questions about his legitimacy not because of his race, but rather because of how he came to power. You cannot make the false equivalence when there isn’t any equivalence to begin with.

September 18th, 2009 at 2:10 amKenneth says:
Do you need to have it explained to you why those numbers are meaningless? The vast majority of the people who express disapproval with the president are doing so because of false things they have been told about him and his policies. (Most of the teabaggers from this past weekends rallies believed false things about Obama.) Considering how much the right wing has been lying to people (about virtually everything), it should come as no surprise that people might have less favorable views of the president. Thanks to the right wing and their propensity for lying, there is no longer anything like a civil debate in today’s politics.
September 18th, 2009 at 7:48 amLook at what’s happening. We’ve got Glenn Beck who is positioning the first black POTUS as a racist [for the benefit of real racists]. Michelle Bachmann convincing people that Obama wants to put arch conservatives in interment camps. Rush pushing segregation. And Pat Buchanan saying Hitler never wanted to go to war. Meanwhile, all of these people have a direct line into the mushy brains of America’s Most Armed and Dangerous.
If I were some kind of conspiracy nut, and I’m not, I’d think that something is going on here.

Ain’t nobody here but us chickens, peckin’ around the ol’ graveyard – you did say interment camp, no? It’s internment camp, yer thinking of for arch conservatives, chrisfrenzy.
Aside from that, you are, unfortunately, correct. Well, I don’t know about the conspiracy nut deal – only you can figure that out.

September 18th, 2009 at 1:06 pmYou didn’t even listen to Limbaugh’s show – or the following show, did you? You didn’t know how absolutely *soaked* with sarcasm that whole routine he did was, did you? You don’t even know why he was doing that bit, do you? No, of course not. You can’t be bothered with facts – you’ve got propaganda to spread and RAGE to incite. Limbaugh’s whole point in his spiel was to show how the left is just *dying* for the chance to inject racism into any issue so as to distract from substance in favor descending into hyperbole. Limbaugh was trying to show how electing Obama to the presidency has done nothing to ‘fix’ race problems in this country and that the left is continuing to milk the race issue for all they can get out of it anyway they can. Way to prove him right, morons. Here, why don’t you people read the FULL transcript off of Limbaugh’s site (instead of the heavily edition and annotated garbage posted at thinkprogress) so that you can see just what Limbaugh said, how he said it, and the context of why he said it the way he did:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_091509/content/01125106.guest.html
The way you guys are choosing to react shows that you are doing *exactly* what Limbaugh predicted – deliberately taking his comments out of context so as to manufacture ‘racism’ to pretend to be angry about so that you don’t have to allow yourselves to be challenged on the issues. Limbaugh 1, libtards 0.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:41 pm***
from c&l:
Limbaugh also suggested that racism itself was acceptable.
“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked. “I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things.”

i read a troll’s comment other day
that expressed the exact same opinion.
no surprise there.

September 18th, 2009 at 2:43 pmWOW – all of you screaming about Limbaugh’s racism – you obviously didn’t listen to his entire rant. He was being as sarcastic as anyone could be – there was no doubt about that! It’s scary to see that the media can take something like this and twist it to either 1. Make conservatives look bad or 2. incite more racism!!
September 18th, 2009 at 6:24 pmAll of you who are so angry at Limbaugh about this should go and listen to the ENTIRE rant. He was being sarcastic – I heard it live and I completely understood that he was being sarcastic. Please be willing to listen to both sides of a story before you flip out!
September 18th, 2009 at 6:26 pmEl Bruce, way to cherry pick and tunr statements into whatever you want. I now feel like I’m talking to a teenager.
September 19th, 2009 at 12:43 amPlease show me where I said “hate crime” during my post. I’m saying that race was a factor, not a “hate crime”. And BTW, if no matter the color, an incident like this is pretty simple to judge. Now sift through this, and see what you can pull out of it…
The incidence of black-on-black crime and black-on-white crime far outpaces the reciprocal percentages. It is a problem we need to solve at home in our communities.
Solving a problem first involves being honest with ourselves and admitting the problem exists. Watching the video, it is very very difficult to believe this was not racially motivated, and were the races involved reversed I wonder what people would say about the motivations.
Now, you can go into tirades about all the other bad things other people have done, but how does that make us better people?

That’s a common defense…I’m sure his racist quotes in the past were all sarcasm and slapstick humor…
September 20th, 2009 at 1:02 amHey, do you all think this segregated bus thing will help the GOP win black, hispanic and asian votes in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, etc….?

(evil, evil grin!)
September 20th, 2009 at 5:18 amWow. I thought you “progressive” libbys actually would have learned from the “soccer Mom’s” or “SUVs” satire from a few years back. I know this style of humor is lost on you libbys, but try and listen the WHOLE broadcast instead of just castigating him for speaking the truth.
He was speaking of “Obama’s America” because this is where racism will still exists against white people. Especially since we were slave owners. We haven’t apologized enough yet.
September 20th, 2009 at 9:24 amI could not be more disappointed that a person like this even has a public speaking platform. However, I am a believer in free speech. With that said, it is my turn to speak freely. Rush, are you snorting oxy’s again? How is it that in this day and age someone can be as ignorant as you obviously are? People beat each other up because it is what happens among young adolescent males whose hormones are out of control. Maybe there was some racism there but racism is being kept alive by white people like you and black people like you. The same people that cannot let go of the past and just realize that we are all HUMAN BEINGS. Hey Rush, how about we segregate busses so that drug addicts have to be strapped to the roof of the bus? Or even better not let drug addicts on the bus because they are a social strain. Or even better let’s stop letting heavy people travel at all because it takes more fossil fuel to move a great big fat bastard like you from point a to point b. If you want to discriminate please make sure you do it across the board and include your fat drug addict ass in a group that disserves less than any one of us. Thanks and have a nice day.
September 20th, 2009 at 11:56 amBirds of a feather will flock together; humans naturally will naturally segregate themselves, according to beliefs, race, etc. But what I find ironically funny is that is seems only a true racist will be the first to scream racism, and the best part of it all – - it was your Resident Berry who started the fire again with his snide remarks
September 20th, 2009 at 5:54 pmFunny how the conservatives claim that racism is humor, when it is clear from Rush’s intent that he was not joking. Perhaps what is more telling is that for someone who constantly plays the race card, he knows he can fool his viewers into thinking it’s just sarcasm and slapstick humor. What you conservatives seem to want is a society where we are all free to express racism but not to be called out on it.
September 20th, 2009 at 10:41 pmWhat you conservatives fail to realize that this rhetoric can lead to violence. These so-called “jokes” have gotten people killed. I bet people weren’t laughing then. Racism is not innate but it can be learned and it is our responsibility to overcome our own prejudices and to call it out whenever it exists.
September 20th, 2009 at 10:43 pmoh lastly, IF it is humor, it tells more about the person making the racist “joke” than it does the people who are outraged over it. What does that tell you about your god, your idol, Rush?

September 21st, 2009 at 1:22 amNewsweek had a cover story, which asked ‘Are children born racists?’ If the answer is ‘Yes’ then the incident on the bus in St.Louis WAS, more than likely, racial. Who is the bigger ASS?…Newsweek or Limbaugh??
Yes, no one is denying that we have our own prejudices, but it is our responsibility to overcome them, unlike the majority of you on the other side who think well there’s nothing we can do about it. Trust me, overcoming our prejudices which we have learned whether subtly or not is one of the hardest things to achieve. Limbaugh wants a world where racism becomes acceptable except when directed towards whites.
September 21st, 2009 at 4:47 amAsk any researcher who studies prejudice. This does not excuse any laziness towards overcoming our prejudices through learning. We as people are molded not only through nature but through nurture, you know what is innate and what our environment shows us. To cite these studies to justify racism is not only distorting the intent of those studies, but to further perpetuate the problem.
September 21st, 2009 at 4:57 amIf Limbaugh were sincere in claiming that there’s nothing we can do about it, why would he use this incident to stoke up resentment against President Obama? How come he’s quick to condemn the kids on the bus while ignoring racism on his side by trying to make African-Americans the sole racists. Did he have anything to say about the incident at the Cracker Barrel? No, of course not, because it wouldn’t resonate with the “white victimhood” picture he wants to paint in order to stir up the masses.
Lastly, before I sign off, he is being hypocritical when he seeks to compare racism as being innate to homosexuality. Even if he were to be shown that homosexuality is innate, would he accept being gay just as he accepts racism with a cavalier attitude? Face it, even if he was being sarcastic, the man has a history of making bigoted comments, most recently against Representative Frank, which you disturbingly dismiss with a cavalier attitude with nary a thought. Just because Rush wrote it on his webpage about how he’s a victim, you have to swallow it too, because it allows all of you on the right to wallow in self-pity as well.
So by your logic, conservatives must accept homosexuality as much as they seem to accept racism, because they are both innate.
September 21st, 2009 at 5:07 amThank you for your sharing.!
