Rush Limbaugh on his addiction to racism

The thing is, y'all don't know the half of it. When you wait on hold to talk to Rush, during the commercial and news breaks, you're subjected to a series interstitials that can only appeal to racists. Rush, I think, calls them, "entertaining". He's got some guy doing impressions of Jesse Jackson, Ron Artest, Al Sharpton and several other African Americans. Each of them are essentially audio minstrel shows that depict blacks as stupid and incompetent hustlers. I guess white racists need to laugh too, but Rush should take responsibility for doing what he does.

Of course, there's a lot more to Rush's racism than his rarely heard interstitials. (You hear them on his live webcasts from RushLimbaugh.com as well).

The truth is that race - and being on the wrong side of the issue - is a favorite topic on Rush's radio show. He'll talk about the Black Panther voting case for years, but I don't think I ever heard him mention anything about Republican voter caging or the wholesale disenfranchisement of people with black-sounding names in 2000's Florida election.

When the economy tanks, he makes up a reason out of whole cloth - it was all the fault of ACORN and the CRA, dontchya kno? Of course, ACORN and the CRA both had two things in common: they both helped vulnerable African American populations, and neither of them had anything at all to do with the criminal banking class that led the country into its current economic collapse.

Rush has long been a hobbyist when it comes to condemning black athletes that screw up. Hell, is some cases (Donovan McNabb), he loves to condemn black athletes simply because they are black. But I've never heard him say anything about Josh Hamilton, Mark Chimura, or Ben Roethlensberger (he says he's made fun of the latter, but he sure hasn't made any interstitials or done so in any kind of sustained effort).

Anyway, all this, and more, came up in today's phone call...

Race should be a biological term again!

[spyroxxm]

As a white I don't fear and dread that word 'racist" so much anymore. In fact, I almost take it as a compliment nowadays!

[heloizyjhenifer]

@MrCope456 Like anybody ever said, even in private, he wanted to reward those things. You're more stupid than a foreskin, here's your medal..

[heloizyjhenifer]

@spyroxxm And I think you're almost as stupid as a black. Ain't that a funny haha joke? I'm sure you're laughing out loud, retard. No need to answer, I just wanted to spit on you.

@superfreshjeff07 If you're an unwanted child of course you're bound to become a doctor or researcher, not a chance you'd be pissed off with everything shitty there is about life on a merciless society that wants to impose *life* on you.

@Ramirez8804 Well, far left is what is called nazis, but I don't think there are as many nazis as you think.

[Ramirez8804]

@superfreshjeff07 The far Left hates blacks and Latinos. They want you guys to outnumber whites though as long as they can keep you dumbed down, living in filthy ghettos, and locked in an educational system that is nothing but THEIR propaganda, so you keep voting for them.

What they don't know is that a man can be in a cave and stlll his heart and God will teach him. And I think you are on the right track!

[superfreshjeff07]

There's no way the blacks or latinos will ever outnumber the whites, because those far left commy's praise abortion and practice it way too much :) Have a nice day

@ibeawakened All I'm saying is let's treat people by the same standard. I don't believe that we should give extra points to someone on a police or fireman's exam because of their skin color. What you want is to reward people who didn't work hard yet want the benefits that come from working hard. You want to reward failure, laziness, and bad study habits. You are a typical liberal (who probably hates white people and America).

[ibeawakened]

@MrCope456 YOU ARE ENTITLED and when the constitution is finally ENFORCED YOU CRY LIKE A CHILD. Show me EVIDENCE of someone of so called color who is given AS MUCH SPECIAL TREATMENT AS WHITE PEOPLE IN AMERICA, You can't no proof, just spewing LIES SO YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR PRIVILEGE. Your skin IS YOUR QUOTA and when the latinos outnumber everybody, YOU'LL FINALLY GET A TASTE OF THE EVIL YOU SUPPORT. U are a fool WHO HAS NEVER BEEN HARASSED FOR YOUR SKIN COLOR, but soon you'll know!
