In a remark extraordinary even by the standards of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing radio heavyweight declared on his program Wednesday that the United States needed to return to racially segregated buses.

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “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.”

A full transcript of Limbaugh’s comments on his radio show is available at MediaMatters.org.

Limbaugh’s comments came after a called complained to say that local law enforcement said the attack probably wasn’t racially motivated. The incident had been hyped by the conservative Drudge Report, which posted a video of the fracas.

“Police initially said the beating of the white student by two black students appeared to be racially motivated,” the Associated Press wrote. “But police on Tuesday backed away from that.”

That didn’t stop Limbaugh from making his comments Wednesday.

“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,” Limbaugh also said. “I wonder if Obama’s going to come to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard.”

“White Americans are racists who have created what they call free markets that really just enslave the rest of America and her trading partners,” Limbaugh also mocked. “I mean, it was white Americans that ran off Van Jones. No, look, let’s just follow Eric Holder’s advice and not be cowards about all this. Let’s have an open conversation, an honest conversation about all of our typical white grandmothers. You had one, I had one. Obama had one. They’re racists just like our students are. ACORN — hey, nothing but racism fueling the pursuit of ACORN.”

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.”

The second set of comments occur in the audio clip below.

And why doesn't being born a serial killer make serial killing acceptable?
And why doesn't being born a terrorist make terrorism acceptable?
And why doesn't being born a thief make thievery acceptable?
And why doesn't being born a fat, ignorant, scumbag talk show host make fat, ignorant, scumbag talk show hosts acceptable?

This close-minded, perverse, oxycodin popping, loud-mouthed, know nothing, pig is a racist because he chooses to be! President Obama never ever uttered the words that this slob has said, and Rush wouldn't know the truth if it was able to wrap itself around his girth! Why is this fool still able to de-foul the airways with his filth!

It is time for all people of good conscious that are tired of hearing these yahoos inciting unreasoned, lying, contemptible behavior to take a stand and boycott the sponsors immediately!!!

and not much else. Rush has no commentary value what so ever. To be so irresponsible as to make a comment like that is nothing more than shock jock material.

But is anyone surprised. It seems racism in this nation has gotten worse, not better in the past year. It might be because everyone uses it at every opportunity to the point that people dismiss it.

The beating described almost surely was racism just as 4 whites beating a black would be racially motivated – no big surprise.

So can't the problem of worsening racism be addressed instead of "Rush made another outrageous comment".

One (as poster above noted), this has an intertainment value. It will stir passions and ensure people flock to listen the fat gasbag either to curse him or cheer him. It will bring ratings up and that will increase the money he gets for his drivel.

Two, Limbaugh caters to the lowest common denominator and he knows hicks will like it. He also knows those that detest hicks will pay attention thus putting him in the spotlight.


Hey Rush, don't forget to rehabilitate the Third Reich soon.

The amazing mind of Rush Limbaugh!
Posted by: Ghoulman on Sep 17, 2009 1:51 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Rush Limbaugh, on national radio, said: "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.”

Wait, at the end there he twists around and says that's how the LEFT thinks?

I think it's Rush and FOX and the rest (I'm looking at you Pat Buchanan) that want to have their racist cantre accepted. Why would anyone accept two boys beating another on a bus? Well, seems Rush thinks the Left (whoever they are) do. But that's silly. Yet Rush wants it to be Ok to bring back Jim Crow race politics.

Well, they are at it again. Twisting meaning and words. After all, Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs, O'Reilly, Beck, and many others in mainstream media have used overtly racist tropes and inference for years now and they are thrilled to have a black President to flog at. Plays to their demographic, I suppose. To go after the Left as racist is just how they deflect from their own bigoted rhetoric. They say, 'I know you are, but what am I?'

Remember, they have the last 8 years or more to defend against with their broadcasts of incredible bigotry towards Muslims. They fear to be called racist because they have so much to answer for!

That's right, the discourse in American mainstream media resembles a school yard fight. And none of them cared how the kid who got beat up felt.

If this were widely reported on network news -- as an Omigod! story -- would Limbaugh be discredited amongst the majority of Americans? I would love to see his name become the kiss of death when it comes to credibility.

not really shocking actually, or shouldn't be. It's always a good thing when these people show their true selves, but even here, Limbaugh was careful to make his point in such an inept, convoluted way, with enough vague qualifiers and verbal quote marks, that he can dance (waddle) away. Aside from sounding glib, resentful and yes, racist, I was unsure of his meaning by the end of the quote. Even when plumbing the murky depths of his paleozooic id, Rush always tries to leave an out.

A sane society would continue to tolerate Limbaugh, but subject his tedious rants to withering, if somewhat understated ridicule. It's not that hard to put a weasel in his place.

Instead we have the spectacle of the Democratic establishment screaming, "INCOMING!!!!" and diving under something or somebody (i.e., Van Jones) everytime Limbaugh emits another little cloud of noisome swamp gas.

Rush Limbaugh's hate speech should not be ignored. He has millions of listeners. It was hate speech like this in 1930s Germany inflaming people against Jews that incited the Holocaust. The Holocaust was not a one-man job. Hitler had many followers, and many others who knew what was happening and did nothing.

Why isn't Rush chased off the air like Imus, et al.?
Posted by: LeonBNJ on Sep 17, 2009 6:40 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
When Imus made a racist remark, he got chased off the air (although he is now on the tiny audience of Fox Business News Channel). When a number of other whites in the media made racists remarks, they got chased off too. Here Rush has said a clearly racist remark, clearly directed at our President. This is a guy that had a very illegal drug habit went to 'rehab' yet still gets paid millions. It is time to chase him (along with Glenn Beck and a number of others wignuts) off the air.

Obama is governing from the right of even Bill Clinton.

On economy, his policies are pretty much Bush's policies i.e. middle-class and the poor get fucked while Wall St gets bailed out.

On foreign policy, Obama is getting deeper in the AF-PAK Vietnam. And the latest missile defense BS to save Europe from the bogeyman Iran. WTF??

On domestic issue, Obama is letting the Corporate owned whore Baucus drafting the health care reform - more like heath care deceit and nothing but forcing people to buy insurance premiums that don't provide adequate coverage.

ACORN, Van Jones et al are being scapegoated but no investigation into Blackwater and other corporate crimes.

Obama and Dems are acting as if we lost 2008 election in a landslide.
Oh well - FUCK YOU Obama and the rest of the Congressional democrats.

That is essentially what Rush Limbauh happens to be.
Since there are far too many people who can't understand that most people speak opinions and not science, they keep listening to Rush because they feel he has it "all figured out." We don't live in that kind of world any more. This parasite is MAKING MONEY because for too many decades now this is what the world calls and will accept as success, i.e making money.

Absurdly hilarious, if it weren't so socially destructive
Posted by: goodyweaver on Sep 17, 2009 9:25 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
So sometimes I find myself listening to Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck, or Sean Hannity, and I think, "Eh, what's the big deal? These guys are morons! Let 'em talk - they'll be proven wrong."

Problem is, it doesn't matter if they're wrong - millions and millions and millions of people in this country are motivated by their words. Millions and millions of people in this country actually believe that these are the people that "get it." What I can't figure out is whether these radio goons actually have some deal with politicians that they'll make sure social progress never really happens in this country, or if they truly believe the tripe they spew.

As I said in my title, their stupidity might be funny if it weren't so incredibly destructive in this society. The result of millions of citizens maintaining a Limbaugh-Beck-Hannityesque system of beliefs is a society where at least 15% of children live in food insecure households. A society where it is not unusual for an individual to work 50-60 hours for next to nothing and still have no job security, no real benefits, no affordable health care, and no hope for a better future. A society where a huge percentage of the poor and minorities are locked in a prison industrial complex that has systematically eliminated all programs geared toward rehabilitation. A society where children are constantly marketed products that will make them obese, mentally ill, violent, and sick (because it's "profitable," and profit=freedom). A society where people can comfortably refer to children burned alive so that US oil companies can secure resources "collateral damage," and then turn to a 14 year old rape victim entering Planned Parenthood and scream "Murderer!" A society where millions defend the "right" of chemical companies to poison our water, our air, our soil, and our bodies - without telling us, because that would cut profit. A society where our collective future is determined by corporations intent on funnelling as much wealth to as few individuals as possible, ruling elite "lawmakers" who collect bribes and pass legislation granting said corporations the same rights as human beings, and a warmongering military industrial complex that rakes in trillions in profit maintaining chaos and disorder in the third world, slaughtering innocent human beings by the millions, and decimating our environment with weapons tests and oil spills.

So you see, sure, Rush is a blowhard. He's a goon. He's full of shit, and we all know it. But he and his ilk are destroying our future. They're guaranteeing another 100 years of this devastating culture grinding its boot into the throat of humanity. It may very well, in fact, mean the end of humanity altogether in the end, because it is these conservatives who seem to be so completely insane that they cannot even imagine that they (and what superhumans they are, afterall) could possibly need an intact ecosystem to survive. Because on top of everything else, they actually believe that some on-high deity is going to fly down out of the sky right before the shit REALLY hits the fan and whisk them away to paradise (which they deserve, after all, for pointing out that god hates fags, blacks are just ingrates, and jesus christ loves capitalism).

“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,”

Where did he grow up? Where I grew up, kids of either race did that whenever there was a spat. I remember hearing this chant watching a black-white fight: "Fight, fight, black and white, if the white don't win, we all jump in!"

One of the things I cherished about growing up was learning to use my mind to cast off such behavior. But some kids never do learn. They live their lives as if it's one big gang fight.

it's called "racism" but when black kids beat up a white kid--everyone pussyfoots around the problem and says that's not racism? Hey--black people can hate just as well as whites. But we are so politically correct now, we can't say that. Makes one want to barf.

Rush was being sarcastic--but for once I agree with him. Just once. I doubt I'll ever agree with him again on anything.

Yep, in The Color of Crime, a publication from the New Century Foundation, an organization that claims to "study" the impact of diversity. It is, in fact, founded by Jared Taylor, the editor of a white supremecist journal, American Renaissance.

According to the Anti-Defamation League website, the journal "promotes pseudoscientific studies that attempt to demonstrate the intellectual and cultural superiority of whites and publishes articles on the supposed decline of American society because of integrationist social policies."

Apparently, it avoids blatant bigoted remarks and crudeness, which I think makes it more insidious.

Nice try, Antichrist, but I don't buy your "source."

Lies, damn lies, and statistics...
Posted by: goodyweaver on Sep 18, 2009 8:47 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
I won't even get into whether your stats are right - that doesn't really matter. Let's assume they are.

What your stats don't show is that minorities are far more likely to be victims of violence, that minorities are far more likely to live in impoverished inner cities where legitimate job opportunities are rare, that minorities are far more likely to be subjected to substandard (yet required) public "education" systems, have inferior health care, and live in households with food insecurity. Further, study after study has shown that systemic racism does exist in hiring, criminal justice, and education. Even further, minorities live in a culture that provides a mountain of imagery suggesting that they are less attractive, less intelligent, more violent, and less culturally important than whites. But of course, those facts are irrelevant, right? All that matters is crime stats?

So, let's look at that then. The vast majority of serial killers are white males. The vast majority of child rapists and killers are white males. The vast majority of child molesters are white males. So what, prey tell, does that say about white males? Probably nothing, right?

You know, finally, it's always amusing to see a member of the Euro-American culture - a culture which has arguably commited more violence, more genocide, and more oppression on this planet than any other culture or "race," try so desperately to imply that somehow it is minorities that are "naturally" violent. Give me a break.

So what are you saying? That we should ban guns? Good idea! Since by your logic, most of the guns are stolen FROM white people, if we just ban them they can't be stolen.

How about a little requirement to level the playing field against racism.. you know, jobs. Oh, that affects lower class WHITES as well... Maybe we shouldn't count them, since they are the ones most likely to agree with your caveman viewpoint.. You need voices, no matter if deductive reasoning is or isn't one of their skill sets. Your thoughts create a self fulfilling prophecy. YOU and YOUR beliefs are the problem.

“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 hope people get all the to this comment and consider the possibility...

The Politics of Hate
Posted by: philg25 on Sep 18, 2009 2:08 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Limbaugh and his allegedly conservative colleagues rely on hate. The more hate they can instill, the stronger the effect of their propaganda.

We have heard the conservatives make comparisons to Hitler and the Nazi regime. What I am beginning to see is the similarities between the Nazi propaganda machine and the Neo-Conservatives.

Limbaugh, Fox news, 9/12, etc. are using Orwellian tactics to muddle the issues with hate. Newspeak and jackboots are becoming the American Way and it sickens me.

Limbaugh needs to be put on the bus alright. Maybe he would respond to some of his own advice. Perhaps we should segregate Limbaugh and the rest from the human beings.

It is all about POWER
Posted by: ProfBob on Sep 18, 2009 2:11 AM   
Current rating: 3    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Alfred Adler correctly found that we all have inferiority complexes to some degree. We work to overcome our inferiorities by developing power—either ‘power over’ or ‘power to’. The simplest, and usually the least rational, is power over. Bosses often use their power to make employees more submissive. But the simplest method of feeling ‘power over’ is by feeling superior to those of another race, a lower social class, another religion, another ethnicity, the other sex, or those with a different sexual orientation. Most people, along with Rush, fit here because it doesn’t take any reasoning power to fall into this belief pattern.
‘Power to’, on the other hand, takes work, effort, and often, education. If not education, at least the ability to reason. Neither the ‘power over’ beliefs nor the ‘power to’ abilities are the exclusive domains of liberals or conservatives. Barack Obama and Colin Powell both are ‘power to’ people—as were Jefferson, Einstein, Edison, and Mother Theresa—and as are Tom Brady, Dan Brown, Bill Gates and the Clintons.
For a much more insightful and complete approach to our psychological motivations I would suggest reading Book 6 of the popular free ebook series “In Search of Utopia” (http://andgulliverreturns.info) And a view of our ethical motivations Book 4 of the same series does an even better job. Rush of course would never read these because his thinking patterns are clearly based on a self centered value system and a ‘power over’ psychological motivation. His status among some similarly intellectually and ethically dwarfed followers affirms his power.

Busing!
Posted by: Rasplanet on Sep 18, 2009 2:16 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Growing up in the sixties during the civil rights movement, I (a white boy) had to live in the worst part of town and attend a middle school that had roughly 10 whites and 490 blacks. I got into a few fistfights and was called names by other kids. Not all my school mates were racist. Most understood that I was just poor like them. I seemed to have the most trouble when someone got on TV or radio and got people fired up. People like George Wallace for one. By the time I got out of the ghetto, the govt. started busing. I watched black kids get bused to a white school and vice versa. To this day, I don't see much of a change. The only thing really changed was the school bldg. and location. There's still a lot of racism out there, but it comes from the most ignorant of our society. As for Limbo's comment, it's a very foolish one. I wish both sides, democrat and republican, would stop using race as a crutch and an excuse for bad behavior. As long as we cling to racism, we will never progress the way we should. I saw riots in the 60's and they would get ugly real fast. The blow hards and troublemakers somewhat like Limbo and Beck, would always be the ones to run and hide and let the police clean up the mess. We the people, must boycott any advertiser who pays these loudmouths to spout off about racism. The news media and the internet have rapidly become places of racial debate. I suggest people go out an look at the real world. Real people are steering away from racism. Seems like only the racists are the ones that keep the debate in heat. I say, put Rush on a big bus, loaded with armed black panthers on their way to break up a klan meeting. I would just like to see him walk through the projects close to where I live. People like Limbaugh and Beck should be forced to live in a predominantly black neighborhood for a while. They are indoctrinating young white people, much like Hitler did. They are just dregs of society. They need to be taught some manners. A few bricks up side the head might work. They both would be somebody's bitch.

inborn logic fail
Posted by: HelperMonkey on Sep 18, 2009 4:23 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?”

Hmm.

1) homosexuality has been shown to be an inborn trait and a naturally occurring phenomenon, not only in humans but in monkeys and other animals.

2) I am not aware of a study which proves the same of racism. In fact I'm pretty sure racism is taught.

And

1b) Homosexuality doesn't hurt anybody, but

2b) racism does.

The comparison is laughable. Consider the logically-equivalent statement:

“If being able to curl your tongue being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?”

I don't think homosexuality is acceptable because it's inborn, I think it's acceptable because it's what some people choose to do in their private lives that doesn't hurt anybody.

What a fuckknob.

Limbaugh was simply making a commentary, in his normal sarcastic way, on race relations in this country and as usual, those of you on the left go off the deep end, equating his comments to lighting crosses and wearing sheets.

Just as his comments about the sports media coverage of Donavan McNabb, there was nothing racist about his latest remarks.

What really appals me here is the fact that we even know that this sub-human specimen said such a thing.
Just so long as the media fall over themselves trying to find out what Mussolini's opinion is on the problems besetting Italy in the 1930s, parasites like Limbaugh will flourish.
It's up to you, America - the power to ignore him and make him obsolete is all yours.
Next time your local newspaper quotes the rat, complain to the editor.
Limbaugh and his fat mouth are not in the public interest, they are anti-American.

Hate comes out your "mothers milk" and if both your parents hate then you are far more likely to hate anyone who is different to you- its nurture not nature which is resposible for racist behaviour, this applies to all races and religions and occurs all over the world. Jews hate Arabs, Protestants hate Catholics, Hindus hate Muslims and vice versa. What is happening in Sri-lanka at the moment where Tamils are dying in Nazi like concentration camps and being ignored by the civilized world is an example of this gone wrong.

It's many years since I first heard Limbaugh on the airwaves. Those who would excuse his venom on the grounds that he is just being his usual sarcastic self are lying as much as the rattlesnake himself.
He deliberately dresses up his childish jealousies and bigotries in the pompous language and faked "gravitas" of an experienced senior citizen who has such wide experience of life and its inner workings that absolutely nobody knows more about anything at all than he does.
He's a spoiled and bitter child - nothing else.

I'll never defend much of what Rush Limbaugh says, but his tone was sarcastic, not literal. Although I think he is racist in many ways, I don't think this was genuine Rush. He's trying to prod the Left to be as cruel and disturb as he is, so don't take it seriously. The best way to end Rush's popularity is to ignore him.

I think...and now I have no evidence for this except my own experience...Rush and Glenn Beck and Karl Rove, all chubby, out-of-shape doughboys, were the kids in high school who sucked up to the athletes, jock-sniffers we called them, and instigated violence against "nerds," and other kids in the unpopular crowd safe in the knowledge they'd never face reprisal.

Remember the movie The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2)?" Here's the Wikipedia entry on the character The Toadie:...the gang crier who articulates his occupation with verbally inventive phrases. He is a plump, bespectacled man who masks his cruelty with a jolly facade. He wears a decorated mink stole as a hat and has many ornaments on his clothes. His behavior with Humungus and Wez marks him as a classic sycophant. Toadie takes pleasure in molesting helpless prisoners, but the gang has little respect for him.

Life does immitate art.

The wonderful days of Ozzie and Harriet
Posted by: raginghormones on Sep 18, 2009 6:27 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
When women stayed in the kitchen and "Negroes" knew their place and Dad was king of the house. And the kids were perfect and you lived in your suburban castle and there were no uppity liberals questioning how things were going, and suggesting that maybe your world wasn't as nice as it appeared, that dark things were going on beneath the surface. When you could physically abuse your kids if they misbehaved and knock your wife around if you felt like it. That in those pre-Medicare days old people died because they couldn't afford to go to the hospital. That women had no birth control choices, which was just fine because it further kept them in line. That women had only three professions open to them: teacher, nurse, or secretary. That it was ok to mess with other countries and support repressive governments in the name of rampant capitalism. That it was ok to shit on the environment, also in the name of "free enterprise". Where you could go to church and get reassurance the God was on America's side and that those who were poor or minority or lived in a "ghetto" it was due to moral failings on their part.

This is the world that Rush and his followers are stuck in. This is the world they want to go back to. This is the world view they have as an answer to everything. And this is the reason Conservatives are becoming increasingly irrelevant for today's world, because--in the end--they really have no answers.

I loved the description of Limbaugh as a "heavyweight" in conservative circles. LOL! He's a heavyweight in ANY circle! And a pill-popping, misogynistic, (and misanthrophic), loud-mouthed blowhard. His bloviating may be protected by the First Amendment, but IMO, that's a weakness in Freedom of Speech. Still, we can't restrict the speech of idiots without doing the same to everyone, so just invest in earplugs.

Only thing Worse than Limbaugh Is Mischaracterization
Posted by: pmacbee on Sep 18, 2009 7:32 AM   
Current rating: 4    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Limbaugh turns my stomach. It literally makes me feel physically unwell, as well as soul-sick, to hear him. But the thing that makes me even more unhappy these days is the constant hysteria and mischaracterization coming from both sides of the political spectrum. No one is credible, so you might as well go with the ones who reflect your own prejudices. The headline here is either deliberate mischaracterization, or just being willfully obtuse. The comment came in the context of Limbaugh saying sarcastically that not only was the attack racially motivated (contrary to police conclusions), it was PROPER that it was racially motivated. After all, the white kid had provoked the attack by merely being on the bus, that he was invading the space of the black bus riders. That the white kid shouldn't even have been allowed on the bus -- we should have segregated busses so whites won't invade black space and provoke these justifiable attacks. It was sarcasm and in Limbaugh's mind a parody of what he claims liberal thinking amounts to. This is of course still a disgusting and poisonous little speech, but he never made any serious call for segregated bussing. You destroy your credibility with this kind of stuff, and we really need a credible left, guys.

Unless and until Limbaugh and company are explicitly repudiated by the Republicans, their recent whines about racism being injected and ordinary people having valid concerns about health care, etc, and a very few extremists, etc., etc, are simply a dog that won't hunt. Silence still means assent, and so long as they remain silent they must be treated as perpetrators of the fear mongering and prevarication our neo-Elmer Gantry types are perpetuating. They just can't have it both ways. Do these comments speak for you Mr. Steele?

LIMBAUGH: Greetings, my friends. It's Obama's America, is it not? Obama's America -- white kids getting beat up on school buses now. I mean, you put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety, but in Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, "Yeah, right on, right on, right on!" And of course, everybody says, "Oh, the white kid deserved it, he was born a racist, he's white." Newsweek magazine told us this. We know that white students are destroying civility on buses, white students destroying civility in classrooms all over America, white congressmen destroying civility in the House of Representatives.

And we can redistribute students while we redistribute their parents' wealth. I mean, we can just redistribute everything, just return the white students to their rightful place -- their own bus, with bars on the windows and armed guards. They're racists, they get what they deserve -- Newsweek magazine told us this, post-racial America. I mean, I wonder if Obama's going to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard. I mean, the assailants are presumed innocent due to the white racism we all know runs rampant in America. I mean, the drive-by media is ginning up all this criticism of Obama again today -- it's all based in racism, the criticism of Obama's health care plan or whatever. It's all based in racism.

Rush got a Wedgy Everyday in his all White School

Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
I'll bet the lil' porker got his ass kicked regularly. Not only telltale by his blatant bitterness, but brain damage. Too many punches to the head Rushy?
Give me a Break- what kid regardless of the demographics of their school has never seen a fight- on the Bus,In the Halls, In the Gym in the Schoolyard, at the Tree....?
Rush no doubt knows better than most that Fights between Kids happens, I'm betting he has a permanent scare on his ass crack (although much more difficult to see now- Yuk bad image, sorry).
Perahps that's why he also keeps his hair so short- less to swirl down the toilet. quicker Dry time too.
Almost makes you long for those days- the chance to give Rushy a Wedgey while dunking his head in the toilet.

Amazing BS

Current rating: 1    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
People are getting wound up like toy tops over BS

This article links to "media matters" for a "full transcript" of Rush's comments.

The media matters site has a partial transcript that is copped up, why link there ?

Rush's site has the "full transcript" of his comments.

Regardless of what you think of him people should read the full transcript at his site then go off on him if you think he deserves it for the comments because you are being mislead regarding his comments reading the media matters partial transcript or just this article.

After reading this article I went to the media matters link first and then I went to his site and read his transcript for comparison. Two very different pictures emerged, it was pure sarcasm on the state of race relations today and I think most people who read the "full transcript" would agree with it.

“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked

Cuz racism ISNT inborn. It is taught by parents.

No one has to teach a boy that he is sexually attracted to other boys. Take my word for it (or the word of anyone else who isn't heterosexual but grew up in a Christian household learning that they are an "abomination").

He didn't call for segregated buses

Current rating: Not yet rated    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Yeah, I don't know...I'm about as far to the left as you can get. Yes, Rush is quite moronic.

But from this short transcript, carefully read, I don't think Rush was explicitly calling for segregated buses. He was essentially making the idiotic 'reverse racism' argument, saying that the black kids who beat the white kid were beating him because the black kids thought the white kid was inferior...that in today's America blacks have assumed the 'master' role while whites are the inferiors. Rush puts words and thoughts to the black kids actions by claiming that the black kids must have been thinking 'this beat-down wouldn't have happened if you had been on your segregated inferior white bus.'

Its all very idiotic and quite typical of his rants. Furthermore its an extreme insult to the very real historical and continuing brutality against the black population in this country. It cheapens the historic injustice towards the black-American population just in the same way that comparisons of Obama to Hitler cheapens the horror of the holocaust.

How About Segregated Buses and Water Fountains for Stupid People?
Posted by: Jayzer on Sep 18, 2009 4:29 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Well, Rush---why not segregated buses for stupid and meanspirited people?

The temptation is strong, but when I pause to think about it, I realize that there are already way too many people driving the wrong way in the NYC area and the roads are dangerous enough already.

How about segregated water fountains for stupid and meanspirited reactionary assholes? To the rest of us, they would look like (and function as) toilets.

Drink up, morons.

If you think me calling him a moron is too harsh, how else would you characterize someone who comments on a fight among kids on a bus that he really wasn't present for, and therefore can't possibly know the full story behind this particular piece of nastiness?

But, HEY: He's a "professional" blowhard and he just HAS to say something, even if what he chooses to say is akin to pouring gasoline onto a pile of smoldering rags.

Better he should drink long and deep from a commode and take his chances on E.coli like anyone else would. But for all I know, he would probably thrive on the stuff.

there are thousands of equally ignorant, frightened, personally inadequate, selfish and deeply stupid people in the American community.

Listen to the man. He should be called to account for the destructive, hateful line he is pushing.

It is fine to have freedom of speech but as has been said many times any freedom comes with responsibilities. He plainly has no understanding of his responsibilities to the truth, intelligence or the American community.

Your constitution certainly ensures freedom of speech but that is not a licence to poliute the airwaves and the minds of the ignorant.

You all need to learn to listen to the entire segment of a show and form your own opinions instead of following like lemmings what other people tell you. Rush was being facetious.
If you had listened to his entire segment, you would know he made it very clear in what he said that he didn't mean buses should be segregated. He tied it all in with people being called racist every time they disagree with the President.

Progress can't face the truth
Posted by: leonardfeingold on Sep 19, 2009 8:30 AM   
Current rating: 1    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Rush Limb's comments were total satire to make a point:

Background of the point:

1. In the DUke rape case, the first thing that progressives said it was racism and black girls don;t lie; only whites do, That was sub text.

2. Recently, Eric Holder dropped charges against black panthers who threatned violence at the polls. I saw no posts on Alternet on that.

3. Students who have black skin go to the head of the line re college admissions even tho their scores are low.

4. And in the case of medical schools those with black skin with lowest (1 sd or more lower than asians) get into medical school hence exculding asians and whites with very high scores. And worse, those blacks that graduate, a good portion have the lowest scores on licensing exams. And where to they end up: not treating obama, but poor blacks and poor whites.

None of the above is called racism in the MSM nor in the progressive press. Press and obama get excited about a trivial incident re the Gates affair; compare that to the duke rape case which MSM and progressives want to lynch figuratively speaking the white dudes.

And Rush is satirizing you guys; and what do you do; just like totalitarians, demonize Rush for pointing out the truth in a oafish way

One last thing in that famous RAce speech of Obama he cites his grandmother an an egs of racism because she accosted by some black guy and became nerveous about going on buses. Is it not interesting that instead of using his grandmother which I find inexcusable, he should have used Jesse Jackson who made the famous quote that when he hears foot steps behind him, he is relieved when turns around and sees a white face. How do you like those apples.

The upshot is that progressives and MSM are the true racists.

Many progressives and MSM remind of Stalin, Castro: They used the language of love of humanity as do progressives and then piled up gulags and murder of innocents in name of helping manking to a better life. And so with "racism" dripping from the lips of progressives at the drop of a hat, they copy the totalitarians in demonizing and dehumanizing people who don't agree. Rush has many black friends; of course conservative; what do you expect. He is the furtherest thing from a racist either in the sense of dehumanizing people because of color or denying them constitutional rights.

The progressives and MSM who were all for denying due process to duke guys exemplify racism; in that case pre judgement because the so called attackers were white. That is racism.

I listened to this segment of sh!thead's broadcast. It's sarcasm, pure and simple. I suppose it's possible that his listeners might be stupid enough to take it as Limbaugh's opinion, but I'm kind of upset that so many "Progressives" have. Aren't we supposed to be smarter than that?

Maybe I am misunderstanding some part of this discussion?

It's a free country, and everything the man said is protected by the Constitution, no matter how asinine and ignorant it is.

But we don't have to keep buying products from the corporations who help keep him on the air. More than a dozen of Glenn Beck's advertisers withdrew support recently after pressure from the public about his similarly outrageous remarks.

Time to hold Limbaugh accountable as well.

I would like to know why Limbo is so "afraid" of both black people AND homosexuals.
Someone should examine his family tree.
I think he is AFRAID of black people because, either his "family" includes black genes OR were slave owners.
AND I think he is so AFRAID of homosexuals because HE IS HOMOSEXUAL HIMSELF and is TERRIFIED that, like his addiction to oxycontin, he will eventually be EXPOSED like so many of his Right Wing worshipers have been.
Why ELSE all his ranting about grabbing his ANKLES and bending OVER? That is a wide open OBSESSION for him.
Fantasy Land may be a very nice place to live. But it has one HUGE drawback. Reality always INTRUDES.

Cheer up about the environment???
Posted by: goodyweaver on Sep 19, 2009 12:48 PM   
Current rating: Not yet rated    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Let me be clear here - I'm actually a pretty jovial person. I'm not sitting around crying about the environment most of the time. But saying I should cheer up about it just seems silly. I mean, perhaps when I say "destroy the ecosystem," that's a bit much, because the reality is that the ecosystem is likely to rebound after humans have disappeared from this planet (though certain types of destruction - i.e. nuclear - could take far longer to repair). But the fact remains that since the advent of industrial civilization (and more specifically, individualistic capitalism and consumption within that civilization), we have seen massive loss of biodiversity, every single waterway on the planet polluted beyond drinkability - in addition to pollution of our air and soil. But if the environmental effects of consumerism and capitalism aren't enough, these effects are produced through a system of wage and literal slavery that keeps millions and millions of people around the world from a decent way of life. It destroys traditional lifeways and makes small subsistence farming in the third world and the US impossible.

No, I won't "cheer up" about the environment, nor will I "cheer up" about the terrible impact Limbaugh and his ilk have on our culture. The problem is simply too serious. Though there is certainly plenty to feel joyful about and which makes life beautiful and worth fighting for.

To Be Fair and Balanced to Rush and Fox...
Posted by: Bezukhov on Sep 19, 2009 1:17 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
To Be Fair and Balanced to Rush and to Fox, both of which are determinedly UNfair, as well as unbalanced in every sense of that word, I think, based on the transcript – I don’t care enough to subject myself to Rush’s actual voice – that he was speaking in what he perceives to be the voice of the irrational liberals/white house. He probably used a funny voice. I mean, a DIFFERENT funny voice. Of course, I can’t be SURE that’s what he meant. As always, he is pretty incoherent here.

And that’s not to say Rush ISN’T a racist nor that he WOULDN’T prefer segregated buses, just in case he ever rode one, but I don’t think that’s what he meant here. And we wouldn’t want to twist his words; he and Fox would never take liberals’ speech out of context.

It would be great to legislate against this kind of outrage but you can't legislate against stupidity. That's why Rush and the gang along with Fox Noise have such a dedicated following. The Obama haters. If they weren't so ridiculous in their claims they might be funny. Otherwise they're just your run of the mill rascists homophobes who continue to breed children we hope are intelligent enough to know the difference between a wise parent and a dumbass who gets his talking points from a rich dumbass who happens to be on the radio.

Interesting how the majority of comments are hate filled rhetoric against Limbaugh (Who I am no fan of, BTW, I'm, just a firm believer in free speech and the truth).
It's so easy to predict exactly what most of the comments are going to sound like. I'll never understand people on the extreme left or the extreme right. Neither of you look at the REAL issues. It's so much easier to blame the messenger.
Also, as someone who can claim to have once been an anarchist I can tell you that FOX, as a network, is hardly as dangerous as most lefties seem to make it. Why don't you actually watch the network for a few days and sample some shows. Or is it easier to pick out a couple of shows that are on the opposite spectrum as your own beliefs and judge the entire network. Because it seems to me that they tell more of the truth (even under Bush) than the even more propagandist BIG MEDIA does.
Again, I AM NO REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE. I just believe in the constitution. I can't stand people who crucify talk show hosts but avoid the real issue.
We should be talking about the white guy and what he thinks and the black perpitrators and what they think.

Say what you will about Rush, but he's right, pardon the pun. When I was in 3-5 grades in Williamstown, NJ (1970-1973), I would board the bus every morning and get punched in the chest by this black guy, every morning, who'd been left back twice. In other words, he should've been in 5th grade, but he was in 3rd. All just because I was white. And yes, he was jeered on by his fellow blacks. All us whites lived in fear twice daily--Boarding and getting off the bus. I totally agree with segregation. Who knows what this punk was being taught at home? I can easily tell you this, hatrade for whites was paramount! Go Rush Go!!

and not much else. Rush has no commentary value what so ever. To be so irresponsible as to make a comment like that is nothing more than shock jock material.

But is anyone surprised. It seems racism in this nation has gotten worse, not better in the past year. It might be because everyone uses it at every opportunity to the point that people dismiss it.

The beating described almost surely was racism just as 4 whites beating a black would be racially motivated – no big surprise.

So can't the problem of worsening racism be addressed instead of "Rush made another outrageous comment".

One (as poster above noted), this has an intertainment value. It will stir passions and ensure people flock to listen the fat gasbag either to curse him or cheer him. It will bring ratings up and that will increase the money he gets for his drivel.

Two, Limbaugh caters to the lowest common denominator and he knows hicks will like it. He also knows those that detest hicks will pay attention thus putting him in the spotlight.


Hey Rush, don't forget to rehabilitate the Third Reich soon.

The amazing mind of Rush Limbaugh!
Posted by: Ghoulman on Sep 17, 2009 1:51 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Rush Limbaugh, on national radio, said: "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.”

Wait, at the end there he twists around and says that's how the LEFT thinks?

I think it's Rush and FOX and the rest (I'm looking at you Pat Buchanan) that want to have their racist cantre accepted. Why would anyone accept two boys beating another on a bus? Well, seems Rush thinks the Left (whoever they are) do. But that's silly. Yet Rush wants it to be Ok to bring back Jim Crow race politics.

Well, they are at it again. Twisting meaning and words. After all, Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs, O'Reilly, Beck, and many others in mainstream media have used overtly racist tropes and inference for years now and they are thrilled to have a black President to flog at. Plays to their demographic, I suppose. To go after the Left as racist is just how they deflect from their own bigoted rhetoric. They say, 'I know you are, but what am I?'

Remember, they have the last 8 years or more to defend against with their broadcasts of incredible bigotry towards Muslims. They fear to be called racist because they have so much to answer for!

That's right, the discourse in American mainstream media resembles a school yard fight. And none of them cared how the kid who got beat up felt.

If this were widely reported on network news -- as an Omigod! story -- would Limbaugh be discredited amongst the majority of Americans? I would love to see his name become the kiss of death when it comes to credibility.

not really shocking actually, or shouldn't be. It's always a good thing when these people show their true selves, but even here, Limbaugh was careful to make his point in such an inept, convoluted way, with enough vague qualifiers and verbal quote marks, that he can dance (waddle) away. Aside from sounding glib, resentful and yes, racist, I was unsure of his meaning by the end of the quote. Even when plumbing the murky depths of his paleozooic id, Rush always tries to leave an out.

A sane society would continue to tolerate Limbaugh, but subject his tedious rants to withering, if somewhat understated ridicule. It's not that hard to put a weasel in his place.

Instead we have the spectacle of the Democratic establishment screaming, "INCOMING!!!!" and diving under something or somebody (i.e., Van Jones) everytime Limbaugh emits another little cloud of noisome swamp gas.

Rush Limbaugh's hate speech should not be ignored. He has millions of listeners. It was hate speech like this in 1930s Germany inflaming people against Jews that incited the Holocaust. The Holocaust was not a one-man job. Hitler had many followers, and many others who knew what was happening and did nothing.

When Imus made a racist remark, he got chased off the air (although he is now on the tiny audience of Fox Business News Channel). When a number of other whites in the media made racists remarks, they got chased off too. Here Rush has said a clearly racist remark, clearly directed at our President. This is a guy that had a very illegal drug habit went to 'rehab' yet still gets paid millions. It is time to chase him (along with Glenn Beck and a number of others wignuts) off the air.

Obama is governing from the right of even Bill Clinton.

On economy, his policies are pretty much Bush's policies i.e. middle-class and the poor get fucked while Wall St gets bailed out.

On foreign policy, Obama is getting deeper in the AF-PAK Vietnam. And the latest missile defense BS to save Europe from the bogeyman Iran. WTF??

On domestic issue, Obama is letting the Corporate owned whore Baucus drafting the health care reform - more like heath care deceit and nothing but forcing people to buy insurance premiums that don't provide adequate coverage.

ACORN, Van Jones et al are being scapegoated but no investigation into Blackwater and other corporate crimes.

Obama and Dems are acting as if we lost 2008 election in a landslide.
Oh well - FUCK YOU Obama and the rest of the Congressional democrats.

That is essentially what Rush Limbauh happens to be.
Since there are far too many people who can't understand that most people speak opinions and not science, they keep listening to Rush because they feel he has it "all figured out." We don't live in that kind of world any more. This parasite is MAKING MONEY because for too many decades now this is what the world calls and will accept as success, i.e making money.

Absurdly hilarious, if it weren't so socially destructive
Posted by: goodyweaver on Sep 17, 2009 9:25 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
So sometimes I find myself listening to Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck, or Sean Hannity, and I think, "Eh, what's the big deal? These guys are morons! Let 'em talk - they'll be proven wrong."

Problem is, it doesn't matter if they're wrong - millions and millions and millions of people in this country are motivated by their words. Millions and millions of people in this country actually believe that these are the people that "get it." What I can't figure out is whether these radio goons actually have some deal with politicians that they'll make sure social progress never really happens in this country, or if they truly believe the tripe they spew.

As I said in my title, their stupidity might be funny if it weren't so incredibly destructive in this society. The result of millions of citizens maintaining a Limbaugh-Beck-Hannityesque system of beliefs is a society where at least 15% of children live in food insecure households. A society where it is not unusual for an individual to work 50-60 hours for next to nothing and still have no job security, no real benefits, no affordable health care, and no hope for a better future. A society where a huge percentage of the poor and minorities are locked in a prison industrial complex that has systematically eliminated all programs geared toward rehabilitation. A society where children are constantly marketed products that will make them obese, mentally ill, violent, and sick (because it's "profitable," and profit=freedom). A society where people can comfortably refer to children burned alive so that US oil companies can secure resources "collateral damage," and then turn to a 14 year old rape victim entering Planned Parenthood and scream "Murderer!" A society where millions defend the "right" of chemical companies to poison our water, our air, our soil, and our bodies - without telling us, because that would cut profit. A society where our collective future is determined by corporations intent on funnelling as much wealth to as few individuals as possible, ruling elite "lawmakers" who collect bribes and pass legislation granting said corporations the same rights as human beings, and a warmongering military industrial complex that rakes in trillions in profit maintaining chaos and disorder in the third world, slaughtering innocent human beings by the millions, and decimating our environment with weapons tests and oil spills.

So you see, sure, Rush is a blowhard. He's a goon. He's full of shit, and we all know it. But he and his ilk are destroying our future. They're guaranteeing another 100 years of this devastating culture grinding its boot into the throat of humanity. It may very well, in fact, mean the end of humanity altogether in the end, because it is these conservatives who seem to be so completely insane that they cannot even imagine that they (and what superhumans they are, afterall) could possibly need an intact ecosystem to survive. Because on top of everything else, they actually believe that some on-high deity is going to fly down out of the sky right before the shit REALLY hits the fan and whisk them away to paradise (which they deserve, after all, for pointing out that god hates fags, blacks are just ingrates, and jesus christ loves capitalism).

“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,”

Where did he grow up? Where I grew up, kids of either race did that whenever there was a spat. I remember hearing this chant watching a black-white fight: "Fight, fight, black and white, if the white don't win, we all jump in!"

One of the things I cherished about growing up was learning to use my mind to cast off such behavior. But some kids never do learn. They live their lives as if it's one big gang fight.

Yep, in The Color of Crime, a publication from the New Century Foundation, an organization that claims to "study" the impact of diversity. It is, in fact, founded by Jared Taylor, the editor of a white supremecist journal, American Renaissance.

According to the Anti-Defamation League website, the journal "promotes pseudoscientific studies that attempt to demonstrate the intellectual and cultural superiority of whites and publishes articles on the supposed decline of American society because of integrationist social policies."

Apparently, it avoids blatant bigoted remarks and crudeness, which I think makes it more insidious.

Nice try, Antichrist, but I don't buy your "source."

Lies, damn lies, and statistics...
Posted by: goodyweaver on Sep 18, 2009 8:47 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
I won't even get into whether your stats are right - that doesn't really matter. Let's assume they are.

What your stats don't show is that minorities are far more likely to be victims of violence, that minorities are far more likely to live in impoverished inner cities where legitimate job opportunities are rare, that minorities are far more likely to be subjected to substandard (yet required) public "education" systems, have inferior health care, and live in households with food insecurity. Further, study after study has shown that systemic racism does exist in hiring, criminal justice, and education. Even further, minorities live in a culture that provides a mountain of imagery suggesting that they are less attractive, less intelligent, more violent, and less culturally important than whites. But of course, those facts are irrelevant, right? All that matters is crime stats?

So, let's look at that then. The vast majority of serial killers are white males. The vast majority of child rapists and killers are white males. The vast majority of child molesters are white males. So what, prey tell, does that say about white males? Probably nothing, right?

You know, finally, it's always amusing to see a member of the Euro-American culture - a culture which has arguably commited more violence, more genocide, and more oppression on this planet than any other culture or "race," try so desperately to imply that somehow it is minorities that are "naturally" violent. Give me a break.

How about a little requirement to level the playing field against racism.. you know, jobs. Oh, that affects lower class WHITES as well... Maybe we shouldn't count them, since they are the ones most likely to agree with your caveman viewpoint.. You need voices, no matter if deductive reasoning is or isn't one of their skill sets.

The Politics of Hate
Posted by: philg25 on Sep 18, 2009 2:08 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Limbaugh and his allegedly conservative colleagues rely on hate. The more hate they can instill, the stronger the effect of their propaganda.

We have heard the conservatives make comparisons to Hitler and the Nazi regime. What I am beginning to see is the similarities between the Nazi propaganda machine and the Neo-Conservatives.

Limbaugh, Fox news, 9/12, etc. are using Orwellian tactics to muddle the issues with hate. Newspeak and jackboots are becoming the American Way and it sickens me.

Limbaugh needs to be put on the bus alright. Maybe he would respond to some of his own advice. Perhaps we should segregate Limbaugh and the rest from the human beings.

It is all about POWER
Posted by: ProfBob on Sep 18, 2009 2:11 AM   
Current rating: 3    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Alfred Adler correctly found that we all have inferiority complexes to some degree. We work to overcome our inferiorities by developing power—either ‘power over’ or ‘power to’. The simplest, and usually the least rational, is power over. Bosses often use their power to make employees more submissive. But the simplest method of feeling ‘power over’ is by feeling superior to those of another race, a lower social class, another religion, another ethnicity, the other sex, or those with a different sexual orientation. Most people, along with Rush, fit here because it doesn’t take any reasoning power to fall into this belief pattern.
‘Power to’, on the other hand, takes work, effort, and often, education. If not education, at least the ability to reason. Neither the ‘power over’ beliefs nor the ‘power to’ abilities are the exclusive domains of liberals or conservatives. Barack Obama and Colin Powell both are ‘power to’ people—as were Jefferson, Einstein, Edison, and Mother Theresa—and as are Tom Brady, Dan Brown, Bill Gates and the Clintons.
For a much more insightful and complete approach to our psychological motivations I would suggest reading Book 6 of the popular free ebook series “In Search of Utopia” (http://andgulliverreturns.info) And a view of our ethical motivations Book 4 of the same series does an even better job. Rush of course would never read these because his thinking patterns are clearly based on a self centered value system and a ‘power over’ psychological motivation. His status among some similarly intellectually and ethically dwarfed followers affirms his power.

Busing!
Posted by: Rasplanet on Sep 18, 2009 2:16 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Growing up in the sixties during the civil rights movement, I (a white boy) had to live in the worst part of town and attend a middle school that had roughly 10 whites and 490 blacks. I got into a few fistfights and was called names by other kids. Not all my school mates were racist. Most understood that I was just poor like them. I seemed to have the most trouble when someone got on TV or radio and got people fired up. People like George Wallace for one. By the time I got out of the ghetto, the govt. started busing. I watched black kids get bused to a white school and vice versa. To this day, I don't see much of a change. The only thing really changed was the school bldg. and location. There's still a lot of racism out there, but it comes from the most ignorant of our society. As for Limbo's comment, it's a very foolish one. I wish both sides, democrat and republican, would stop using race as a crutch and an excuse for bad behavior. As long as we cling to racism, we will never progress the way we should. I saw riots in the 60's and they would get ugly real fast. The blow hards and troublemakers somewhat like Limbo and Beck, would always be the ones to run and hide and let the police clean up the mess. We the people, must boycott any advertiser who pays these loudmouths to spout off about racism. The news media and the internet have rapidly become places of racial debate. I suggest people go out an look at the real world. Real people are steering away from racism. Seems like only the racists are the ones that keep the debate in heat. I say, put Rush on a big bus, loaded with armed black panthers on their way to break up a klan meeting. I would just like to see him walk through the projects close to where I live. People like Limbaugh and Beck should be forced to live in a predominantly black neighborhood for a while. They are indoctrinating young white people, much like Hitler did. They are just dregs of society. They need to be taught some manners. A few bricks up side the head might work. They both would be somebody's bitch.

“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?”

Hmm.

1) homosexuality has been shown to be an inborn trait and a naturally occurring phenomenon, not only in humans but in monkeys and other animals.

2) I am not aware of a study which proves the same of racism. In fact I'm pretty sure racism is taught.

And

1b) Homosexuality doesn't hurt anybody, but

2b) racism does.

The comparison is laughable. Consider the logically-equivalent statement:

“If being able to curl your tongue being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?”

I don't think homosexuality is acceptable because it's inborn, I think it's acceptable because it's what some people choose to do in their private lives that doesn't hurt anybody.

What a fuckknob.

Ok....where was the racist comment uttered by Rush????

Limbaugh was simply making a commentary, in his normal sarcastic way, on race relations in this country and as usual, those of you on the left go off the deep end, equating his comments to lighting crosses and wearing sheets.

Just as his comments about the sports media coverage of Donavan McNabb, there was nothing racist about his latest remarks.

Rush is no fool. he knows a good thing when he sees it. So did Adolph et al. 45 million. you can't blame him for doing what he does, as immoral as it may be. 45 million.
that buys a lot of oxycodine Blame those that pay him that kind of money. And those that buy the products he sells. 45 Million

I think we should segregate buses, too. I think we need to reserve a space at the back of the bus, where no one else can sit, for fat, obnoxious, Oxycontin-popping bigots like Rush Limbaugh.

What really appals me here is the fact that we even know that this sub-human specimen said such a thing.
Just so long as the media fall over themselves trying to find out what Mussolini's opinion is on the problems besetting Italy in the 1930s, parasites like Limbaugh will flourish.
It's up to you, America - the power to ignore him and make him obsolete is all yours.
Next time your local newspaper quotes the rat, complain to the editor.
Limbaugh and his fat mouth are not in the public interest, they are anti-American.

Hate comes out your "mothers milk" and if both your parents hate then you are far more likely to hate anyone who is different to you- its nurture not nature which is resposible for racist behaviour, this applies to all races and religions and occurs all over the world. Jews hate Arabs, Protestants hate Catholics, Hindus hate Muslims and vice versa. What is happening in Sri-lanka at the moment where Tamils are dying in Nazi like concentration camps and being ignored by the civilized world is an example of this gone wrong.

Nobody is born hating anybody. Interesting that Rush thinks otherwise.
It sounds like he's trying to justify his prejudices by calling them "nature"

Let's ask his sponsors if they agree that people are born racist.

It's many years since I first heard Limbaugh on the airwaves. Those who would excuse his venom on the grounds that he is just being his usual sarcastic self are lying as much as the rattlesnake himself.
He deliberately dresses up his childish jealousies and bigotries in the pompous language and faked "gravitas" of an experienced senior citizen who has such wide experience of life and its inner workings that absolutely nobody knows more about anything at all than he does.
He's a spoiled and bitter child - nothing else.

Limbaugh using sarcasm

I'll never defend much of what Rush Limbaugh says, but his tone was sarcastic, not literal. Although I think he is racist in many ways, I don't think this was genuine Rush. He's trying to prod the Left to be as cruel and disturb as he is, so don't take it seriously. The best way to end Rush's popularity is to ignore him.

Peace

Rush is cruisin' for a bruisin'

I think...and now I have no evidence for this except my own experience...Rush and Glenn Beck and Karl Rove, all chubby, out-of-shape doughboys, were the kids in high school who sucked up to the athletes, jock-sniffers we called them, and instigated violence against "nerds," and other kids in the unpopular crowd safe in the knowledge they'd never face reprisal.

Remember the movie The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2)?" Here's the Wikipedia entry on the character The Toadie:...the gang crier who articulates his occupation with verbally inventive phrases. He is a plump, bespectacled man who masks his cruelty with a jolly facade. He wears a decorated mink stole as a hat and has many ornaments on his clothes. His behavior with Humungus and Wez marks him as a classic sycophant. Toadie takes pleasure in molesting helpless prisoners, but the gang has little respect for him.

Life does immitate art.

The wonderful days of Ozzie and Harriet
Posted by: raginghormones on Sep 18, 2009 6:27 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
When women stayed in the kitchen and "Negroes" knew their place and Dad was king of the house. And the kids were perfect and you lived in your suburban castle and there were no uppity liberals questioning how things were going, and suggesting that maybe your world wasn't as nice as it appeared, that dark things were going on beneath the surface. When you could physically abuse your kids if they misbehaved and knock your wife around if you felt like it. That in those pre-Medicare days old people died because they couldn't afford to go to the hospital. That women had no birth control choices, which was just fine because it further kept them in line. That women had only three professions open to them: teacher, nurse, or secretary. That it was ok to mess with other countries and support repressive governments in the name of rampant capitalism. That it was ok to shit on the environment, also in the name of "free enterprise". Where you could go to church and get reassurance the God was on America's side and that those who were poor or minority or lived in a "ghetto" it was due to moral failings on their part.

This is the world that Rush and his followers are stuck in. This is the world they want to go back to. This is the world view they have as an answer to everything. And this is the reason Conservatives are becoming increasingly irrelevant for today's world, because--in the end--they really have no answers.

Limbaugh's a heavyweight? For sure.

I loved the description of Limbaugh as a "heavyweight" in conservative circles. LOL! He's a heavyweight in ANY circle! And a pill-popping, misogynistic, (and misanthrophic), loud-mouthed blowhard. His bloviating may be protected by the First Amendment, but IMO, that's a weakness in Freedom of Speech. Still, we can't restrict the speech of idiots without doing the same to everyone, so just invest in earplugs.

Only thing Worse than Limbaugh Is Mischaracterization
Posted by: pmacbee on Sep 18, 2009 7:32 AM   
Current rating: 4    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Limbaugh turns my stomach. It literally makes me feel physically unwell, as well as soul-sick, to hear him. But the thing that makes me even more unhappy these days is the constant hysteria and mischaracterization coming from both sides of the political spectrum. No one is credible, so you might as well go with the ones who reflect your own prejudices. The headline here is either deliberate mischaracterization, or just being willfully obtuse. The comment came in the context of Limbaugh saying sarcastically that not only was the attack racially motivated (contrary to police conclusions), it was PROPER that it was racially motivated. After all, the white kid had provoked the attack by merely being on the bus, that he was invading the space of the black bus riders. That the white kid shouldn't even have been allowed on the bus -- we should have segregated busses so whites won't invade black space and provoke these justifiable attacks. It was sarcasm and in Limbaugh's mind a parody of what he claims liberal thinking amounts to. This is of course still a disgusting and poisonous little speech, but he never made any serious call for segregated bussing. You destroy your credibility with this kind of stuff, and we really need a credible left, guys.

Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Unless and until Limbaugh and company are explicitly repudiated by the Republicans, their recent whines about racism being injected and ordinary people having valid concerns about health care, etc, and a very few extremists, etc., etc, are simply a dog that won't hunt. Silence still means assent, and so long as they remain silent they must be treated as perpetrators of the fear mongering and prevarication our neo-Elmer Gantry types are perpetuating. They just can't have it both ways. Do these comments speak for you Mr. Steele?

What say we put whites at the back, browns in the middle and blacks in the front? Then, put men on the left and women on the right? Jews ride the roof, uh -- or maybe Muslims -- and only white male Christians be allowed to drive the buses??? Certainly, the adverts should be covered. Oh! Just cover the whole damned bus with a burqa!!!

The big guy is not talking about racism. The big guy is doing his job: still promoting a corporatist agenda.

Observe how the big guy deftly weaves his racist "satire" into an advertisement for unfettered corporate aggression.

Reminds me of the fake cell phone ad:

"Of course, our cell phones don't give you -- 'cancer' unless by -- 'cancer' you mean... great service, at a low, low price."

Do not be deceived, brothers and sisters!

At the time of writing this comment I was preceded by 107 others. I wonder how many of the 107 heard the broadcast or ever listen to his diatribe. I have never listened to him and heed to a piece of sage advice taken years ago, to wit: "if the asshole has nothing worthy of uttering he should shut up, or I should pay him no heed." Selah!
