Rush Limbaugh Quote from 1992 Regarding the Poor, how UnChristlike

[mopaul]

My friends, we have the wealthiest poor in the world. If you want to look at poverty and suffering, go to India, Ethiopia, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, and the former Soviet Union.

The poor in this country are the biggest piglets at the mother pig and her nipples. The poor feed off of the largesse of this government and they give nothing back. Nothing. They’re the ones who get all the benefits in this country. They’re the ones that are always pandered to.

– Rush Limbaugh, The Way Things Ought To Be, (New York: Pocket Star Books, 1993), p. 41. The hardback version was published in 1992.

5. Yes, if only we had a "super race", Jesus would be so proud.

[The Backlash Cometh]

6. Therein lies the black soul of the Republican party.

They'll burn in hell for eternity for it.

7. I love the way this idiot generalizes ......

As if all poor people had all the same common traits.

As if all Dems thought alike.

As if all liberals always take the same course of action.

As if all minorities act in unison all the time.

As if all people to the left of him were in a vast conspiracy.

8. They are the ones who work slave-wage jobs so that you and your ilk

can reap huge profits and salaries and buy all the drugs you want!
