The prefect example is right now, when the GOP are getting their elderly base to actually support giving up their Medicare and Social Security to privateers. Unbelievable.

Obvious racism? You are delusional! Limbaugh is mostly satirical in his show
and It pains me that people write him off with their diatribes. I like Beck, but dont really sit down and watch his show. I dont know where he's going
with some of his stuff, but if you dont think there is some truth in his theories, you havent really been paying attention at all

No, Limbaugh is a repeated, unapologetic racist.

If you think he "satirical" ... wow.

"Top Ten racist Limbaugh quotes" (just google, they are everywhere)

1. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”

2. “Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”

3. “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

4. “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

5. “They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”

6. [To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

7. ”I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.”

8. Limbaugh’s many attacks on Obama.

Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not Black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for Black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush.

So Rush Limbaugh has managed to make racist attacks on four of the most admired and respected people of African descent in the past one hundred years, in Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Colin Powell and Barack Obama. He has claimed that Joe the Plumber, who isn’t even a plumber is more important in this election than Colin Powell, a decorated military veteran who has served honorably in three administrations.

9. “We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.”

10. “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”

and It pains me that people write him off with their diatribes. I like Beck, but dont really sit down and watch his show. I dont know where he's going with some of his stuff, but if you dont think there is some truth in his theories, you havent really been paying attention at all

Beck hasn't had a show on GOP-TV for some months now. He was boycotted for a year, advertisers left, and Faux kicked him off the air.

I hear Beck still has his radio show, but he just was in Israel and was terribly received there, his "tour" was mostly imported Americans and a failure.

Boy...you're pretty thin skinned if you dont think those quotes were said just to rile the left into a continuing tizzy. But its apparent that you only are concerned about appearance,not substance!...so be on your way...have fun!

[Danzig]

limbaugh is absolutely a racist...a bigot and misogynist as well. if you want to call it satire, that is your choice. not quite sure how you arrived at that conclusion.

So your contention is that Rush Limbaugh is only pretending to be a racist.

Yeah. Not buying it, thanks.

Those quotes are very deliberate on Limbaughs part, but it's to rile up his audience of dittohead believers into a tizzy of hate. Geesh, propaganda is propaganda! Rushbo crossed the line years ago. He's all about hate: hate for blacks, hate for women, hate for minorities, hate for illegals, hate for non-conservatives.,

Yeah, that "mantra" is based upon your "satirist" Limbaughs actual statements. You'll notice 'Zig agrees, and expands his racism to include Limbaugh's obvious misogyny and bigotry, too.

OK...I'll concede that Zig is the moderate, but I not a dittohead by any means. But I'm not getting into the rest of it...i simply havent heard him....I've read what people said he said....in most of the examples it could be brushed away......entertainmemt....you would be correct if he was an elected official.....just like I dont listen to a thing Howard Stern or Mathews say.
