I'm just curious as to why some tools in the media are trying to protect this racist bastard.

Top 10 Racist Limbaugh Quotes
By Casey Gane-McCalla October 20, 2008 9:45 pm

1. I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

2. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray . We miss you, James. Godspeed.

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

4. 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.

5. 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.

[OneGrassRoot]

1. Thank you for this. n/t

[annabanana]

2. pig ignorant from sun up to sun down.. . . .n/t

[dsc]

3. I wish some links had been supplied

the James Earl Ray comment is stunning and I would love to have some link as evidence so it could be disseminated.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

45. I don't have links, but I listen frequently & this is fairly typical stuff - from him & his callers.

His gay bashing is in high gear right now because of his hatred of Barney Frank. He plays a mocking song with anti-gay innuendos whenever he speaks of Barney Frank. I notify the FCC of his bigotry on a regular basis (I include time, date, and type of tirade). If we, as group, all did this we might make some headway.

[AspenRose]

4. K&R because it needs to go viral

The M$M has the nerve to say Rush doesn't attack people personally. What the hell was "Barack the Magic Negro?" What the hell was "take the bone out of your nose and call me back"?

What the hell was he doing when mocking Michael J. Fox?

[Wednesdays]

5. K&R

:kick:

[PresidentObama]

6. Let him continue to be the face of the GOP, along with Huckabee and Palin.

They'll implode the party.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. Some I believe, others sound just too good to be true.

Like the James Earl Ray comment.

[slackmaster]

8. It would be a whole lot more damning if sources were provided for all of the quotes

As it stands, people inclined to defend Limbaugh will simply shrug them off as fabrications, just as people who already hate him will accept them as accurate.

No minds will be changed.

[backscatter712]

9. And people wonder why Sykes wished his kidneys would fail...

Hell, I hope he takes so much Oxycontin that his breathing fails.

[Joey Liberal]

10. Great ammo for defending Wanda on Monday!

Because Slimebaugh and his brainless Ditto-Twats will be in a right-wing tizzy for sure:)............

[newview88]

11. How is he still on the air????

I've never really paid attention to Rush but I can't believe this bigot is allowed to spew his hatred on the airwaves. WTF?

[Flying Dream Blues]

12. Nothing Wanda said compares to saying the streets were safer at night

under slavery. Ot that James Earl Ray deserved a medal! This man is a nasty piece of work, and it's time someone (thank you, Wanda) stood up to him and his intimidation tactics.

[rvablue]

13. K&R for shining a brilliant spotlight on the total hypocrisy of the cablecritters.

Why are they so afraid of Limbaugh?? I don't get it.

I think it would be one thing if some of the things Wanda said were directed at a conservative newspaper columnist or something. Then, I would intepret this criticism as professionals circling the wagons for "one of their own."

But Pigboy is a blatant hateful racist with no training, no professional record and a long history of childish (to put it nicely) and bombastic ranting and raving.

Anyway, thanks for posting this. Hopefully KO and Rachel and some other liberal voices on CNN will pick up on this next week.

[Cha]

21. Good questions..and it's all so

Orwellian that I just figure it's like the last 8 years of building up bushco and tearing down Dems any chance they get.

Their worst nightmare came true in Prez Obama and his Team.

[Canuckistanian]

14. I thought I'd heard all his racist "jokes"

But I never heard that one about James Earl Ray before.

What a fucking pig. MLK's relatives should have sued his ass off.

[Cha]

22. I've seen it

on DU before as in a quote from limpbaugh.

[cwydro]

15. Yikes, nt

[firedupdem]

16. Sick, nasty, drug addict. He's a horrible person inside and out. n/t

[traxster]

17. Please tell me these aren't real quotes. n/t

[The Doctor.]

19. Well... let's see;

http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/limbaugh.asp

Yep. At least those are.

[Number23]

23. Wiki attributes at least half of those to Limbaugh

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh

[Cha]

18. Because the corporatemedia

wants to be just like him.

And, these quotes need to go VIRAL..thank you, Cali.

[Number23]

20. How the hell did they narrow it down to only 10??

[xxqqqzme]

59. The article just concentrates on his racism.

Expanded to include his gay bashing and woman despising quotes, it would be a book.



In fact there is a book....Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot by Al Franken.

[suede1]

24. Every time I think Limpballs can't go any lower, someone finds a new disgusting

quote. K & R

There's great stuff in that article. Thanks for posting it.

[progressoid]

26. Good God.

How is he still on the air?

[Sandrine for you]

27. ''Take that bone out of your nose and call me back'' and that's just an exemple...

In my country nobody can have any publicity contracts with this comments. In fact, one of our most successfully radio-speaker, a psychiatrist, loose his program when he said that scientific studies show that black people have a lowest IQ than white people.

It's just hard to think that the culture and market in USA allow so much extremes comment.

[LuckyLib]

28. Good grief! What horrific stuff this is. What a twisted mind. Any advertiser

who supports this program should be on the fast track toward financial oblivion due to a mass boycott of their products by Americans.

Is there a list of his sponsors out there in DU land?

[Hissyspit]

29. On Michael J. Fox:

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." -- on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research"

[angee_is_mad]

30. K&R

and thank you and please pass it on to MSM!

[RedCloud]

31. Over 100,000,000 deaths due to slavery and three times we came from Africa?

So over the past 500 years folks from Africa were hunted and killed, thrown overboard, left to die on desolated islands, put in barrels and sealed, died from the rigors of slavery and from escaping it. Then there were the lynch mobs and the postcards of the hangings. total from Alaska to Tierra del fuego over 100,000,000.

And from anthropology we learn that humans wandered out of Africa twice prior only to face extinction elsewhere. So we are Africans three times over. We reward our mother continent with slavery and here we listen to that idiot Rush?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

43. ...

:cry:

[mikekohr]

32. Limbaugh Hates American Indians Also, his words and sources

From Website of International Brotherhood Days http://www.brotherhooddays.com/HEROES.html#RUSH%20LIMBAUGH:

I don't give a hoot that gave some Indians a disease that they didn't have an immunity against." 17). (Quote from his best selling book, "The Way Things Ought To Be." pg. 45).

"There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide?" 17).(Quote from his best selling book, "I Told You So." pg. #68). Rush must be using the "new math" to arrive at this conclusion. Most experts today, feel that in the United States and Canada alone, there were in 1492, approximately 10 to 20 million Native Americans.1). By 1900 there were less than 250,000 Native people left alive, a decline of well over 98%. At the time the "all knowing" Rushkie wrote this book there were approximately 2,300,000 enrolled native people and an additional 1,000,000 other Indian people of various degrees of Native blood. Using a very, very, generous figure of 3,000,000 Native people, there were at the time of this quote at least 15,000,000 fewer Native people alive as compared to 1492, a decline of at least 83%.

"Columbus saved the Indians from themselves."17). (Quote from his radio show.) Left to themselves the Taino People, over a period of thousands of years, formed a peace loving, prosperous civilization that numbered in the millions. After 50 years of Spanish domination they were reduced in number to nearly zero. It is my hope that the United States or any other nation ever again has to face such a "savior."

Bruce Whelan, the Lakota leader of South Dakota's Shannon County Republican Party, took issue with Limbaugh's comments - "I am kinda wondering what history books Rush Limbaugh was reading from."

mike kohr

[Enthusiast]

40. Yup, if that isn't racism,

racism is simply a figment of our imagination. I have heard these same claims about native Americans repeated by Reich Wing types many times. It's all part of the agreed on acceptable illusion that white European 'Christians' can do no wrong. "Trust us, we will not lie to you." Now working class Americans are the new Indians(victims).

[nomorenomore08]

33. Almost as disturbing as the quotes themselves is the Limbaugh/Gacy photo comparison...

Just shave off JWG's mustache, pull back the hairline a little, and it's dead on... :scared:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

44. like how the young b*sh resembles Ted Bundy!

very weird.....

[BlueJazz]

34. ..And this Gas-Bag claims to be entertaining ??

:mad:

[Hatalles]

35. He should be banned from the UK too.

[DerekJ]

36. Limbaugh is a dictionary of everything evil and vile.

[AspenRose]

37. "The Way Things Aren't"

http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1895

[ihavenobias]

38. K & R n/t

[Enthusiast]

39. Every Republican that I know personally

has racist inclinations. Every single one, to a man. Yet every single one will scream that they are not racist.

[Stump]

57. You know what?

That is so freaking true. I can honestly say that the same is true in my case. And I know a lot of them...

[Enthusiast]

63. Just goes to show ya.

Underlying all this rage about President Obama there is this seething racism. That is what it is mostly about.

[InfiniteThoughts]

41. Rush Limbaugh - surprise surprise ... your ancestors came from Africa ..

they were black ... and the God that you pray to - Jesus - he was a middle east jew who looks nothing like the blue-eyed boy that you worship.

You will become a better human being and get a place in Jesus' privy council (that you are so desperately looking for!) only when you realize that the color of the skin doesn't matter. The 6 inches between your ears - that's what matters ...

i don't want to call you names - because i don't want to sully myself by associating myself with a lowly organization like you. And when we are there on this topic, say hi to your boss, Mr. Satan!

[Tutankhamun]

58. Yes, Jesus would have likely been dark-skinned. Of course, it's also quite possible he didn't exist.

[The Wizard]

42. Rash Limbaugh's

bigotry has made him a rich man. He also can't walk the streets without body guards. It's a reflection of who we are as a culture.

[Captain Hilts]

46. He also hates women and gays. nt

[AnotherMother4Peace]

47. All this from the head of the GOP - go figure n/t

[defendandprotect]

53. Well, the GOP is racist, sexist and homophobic . . . it's about EXPLOITATION/$$$$ . . ..

Those are the interests of the corporations which support GOP/Limbaugh --

domination for exploitation --

[workinclasszero]

48. I would love to see some so-called republican leader slap down

Boss Limpballs for his hateful racist rantings.

***crickets***

Yeah thats what I thought....

[certainot]

49. for katrina he commented that

everyone stuck there had the same opportunity that everyone else had to get a good job, buy an SUV, and drive out in time.

he and the talk radio's dominant ability to spin anything was probably the reason bush/rove/cheney held back relief to the stranded, hoping for serious black on white violence they could use all the way through the next few elections.

on sept 10, 2008 he also said 'obama's head needs to fail'

[noiretextatique]

50. unfortunately, it happened the other way

No one was arrested and the MSM never reported on it. They were too busy claiming black people were looting.

Katrina's Hidden Race War
By A.C. Thompson

This article appeared in the January 5, 2009 edition of The Nation.
December 17, 2008
It was September 1, 2005, some three days after Hurricane Katrina crashed into New Orleans, and somebody had just blasted Herrington, who is African-American, with a shotgun. "I just hit the ground. I didn't even know what happened," recalls Herrington, a burly 32-year-old with a soft drawl.

The sudden eruption of gunfire horrified Herrington's companions--his cousin Marcel Alexander, then 17, and friend Chris Collins, then 18, who are also black. "I looked at Donnell and he had this big old hole in his neck," Alexander recalls. "I tried to help him up, and they started shooting again." Herrington says he was staggering to his feet when a second shotgun blast struck him from behind; the spray of lead pellets also caught Collins and Alexander. The buckshot peppered Alexander's back, arm and buttocks.

[certainot]

60. there were some 'rumors' of black on white violence, planted

trying to stir things up and dutifully repeated on talk radio, aside from stories of widespread gang looting

[noiretextatique]

62. right...but nothing about this group of white people

shooting black people. not a peep from the MSM.

[Raineyb]

65. Indeed not. In fact the only place I've seen it covered is on Democracy Now! n/t

[defendandprotect]

51. And, sponsors are keeping this racist pig on the air --- !!!

[Ron Green]

52. Limbaugh is a genius.

He knows how to tap into the fears of people who aren't nearly as smart as he, but who think they are smarter than average.

[defendandprotect]

54. And MSM has done nothing to expose the real Rush Limbaugh . . .!!

[madrchsod]

55. they missed one....

limpballs attacked colin powell when he was considering to run for the republican presidential nomination.he would rant about powell and constantly call him the "little general" after several months powell`s wife decided enough was enough and colin dropped his bid for the nomination.
