Rush Limbaugh – 28 Examples of Racially Charged Comments

Media Matters has documented at least 28 examples of Limbaugh making racially charged remarks including:

    Obama “wants us to have the same health care and plan that he had in Kenya” and “wants to be the black FDR.”
    “Obama has disowned his white half … he’s decided he’s got to go all in on the black side.”
    “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”
    Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot.”
    Obama is “Halfrican-American.”

Rush is a hypocrite that is now playing the victim card because his own self-created – and highly lucrative – controversies have derailed his proposed NFL investment. Who does he have to blame???

I give Limbaugh respect though – he doesn’t cry about it like Glenn Beck!

Rush is no racist but he does take it to the edge. I like Rush, listen to him every day, believe in 90% of what he says, BUT, what in the world did he think was going to happen? did he really think he was going to be an owner in a league that is 70% black. Black people don’t exactly rally around him. He doesn’t speak for them – but he doesn’t have a problem owning a team. I don’t see any good from it. He can be mean spirited and McNabb comments would likely continue.

Rush Limbaugh is playing and has always played the part to the victim. His audiance isn’t all that smart and he is able to get their sympathy by playing the victim. He makes millions and has considerable influence with his less than informed audiance. I hope Al Sharpton takes him to the woodshed and relieves him of some of his money.

Media Matters – Ha! They don’t matter.

But if they want to criticize divisive comments – what about the likes of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton being the ones crying foul about Rush? Jackson so well known for calling New York ‘Hymietown’ and Sharpton with his history of being a racist rabble rouser and responsible for the deaths of several people at Freddies’ Mart when Sharpton encited a mob that torched it.

And then there are those folks Obama befriends – Jeremiah Wright and Van Jones. Would you say they are divisive? Rush is at least a private citizen – Obama put Van Jones on the public payroll. And yet, I know Van Jones was finally fired, but it wasn’t because Media Matters blew the whistle on him.
