This isn't really that surprising. Limbaugh is an ignorant, hateful creature.

Rush Limbaugh is an ignorant, bigoted piece of crap. What surprises me is that anyone is surprised about this.

@Amonk10999 Your statements show just how little you understand about the history of American politics.

Funny conservatives..they always complain about "black people still holding on to slavery"...and we have a conservative here asking us to look to the past as being relevant to the present.

I know you conservatives have absolutely no clue what I just typed...don't worry..I didn't type it for you.

96% of blacks voted for Obama. The Republicans freed the slaves when the Democrats wanted to keep slavery in place. The Republicans ended segregation when the Democrats wanted to keep it in place. The Democrats formed the KKK. Open your eyes, pay attention, maybe what you think should be questioned. Ask yourself why you refuse to recognize the facts.

Than LIMBAUGH is TOTALLY about FAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rush is a racist who gets his energy from hate and oxycontin. A racist sees everyone's motives as racially-driven just like his.

Rush dares to mess with a war hero like Colin Powell? I think he was right to endorse Obama. He knew what everyone but Rush seems to know that McCain is a CRAZY OLD COOT!!!!

Yes we have always had a progressive tax. When I made 20K a year I paid barely no taxes, when I made 30K I paid a certain amount of taxes, now that I make over 60K I pay a higher percent. How is it fair that when I made less I took advantage of paying a lower percentage but now that I am making more money now I don't want to pay the tax that has been in place that everyone had to subscribe too. Look what happened when Bush changed the tax system. The treasury went broke and we China owns us.

Thanks for your comment. It's amazing to me how so many right wingers decry taxes yet want fixed roads, have actually attended public schools and public universities (funded in part by tax dollars), receive social security, take federal student loans with a MUCH LOWER interest rate than you would have gotten on a private loan (once again supported by tax dollars), & the moment they make a pay check, want to stop everyone else from taking advantage of those same services. Hypocrisy at its finest.
