Limbaugh: Sotomoyor = David Duke.

[Bicoastal]

From HuffPost--"Limbaugh: Nominating Sotomayor Like Nominating David Duke"

LIMBAUGH: Not only does she lack the often discussed appropriate judicial temperament, it's worse than that. She brings a form of bigotry and racism to the court. I don't care, we're not supposed to say it, we're supposed to pretend it didn't happen, we're supposed to look at other things but it's the elephant in the room. The real question here that needs to be asked and nobody on our side from a columnist to a TV commentator to anybody in our party has the guts to ask, how can a president nominate such a candidate? And how can a party get behind such a candidate? That's what would be asked if somebody were foolish enough to nominate David Duke or pick somebody even less offensive. It is asked.

(...)

LIMBAUGH: Today the Republican Party seems more interested in condemning its supporters and its friends than in doing its job. Now, normally, I don't respond to all of this media bashing because if I did, it would be all I do because there is so much of it but the fact of the matter is, ladies and gentlemen, my wit and wisdom and brilliance is being drowned out out there and I have learned over the course of many, many moons that if you don't stand up for yourself, nobody else will either.

Now, a day is going to come here -- a day will come when reality hits. A day is going to come when each and every American looks up to the heavens and says "Why didn't somebody warn me?" I am that someone. I am that someone warning you. I am here to warn you each and every day and all of the drive-bys and even Republicans, all of these people using me to win a one night stand with the media, to win glowing praise from their enemies is not going to stop me from being that someone that you're going to say someday "Why didn't somebody tell me about this?"

UGH. :puke:

1. The hypocrisy of Rush Limbaugh shouting racism is enough to

make one's head explode.

Fucking asshole!

[firedupdem]

2. One of the loudest racists around talking about racism....

I've never wished illness on anyone, but he's pushing my limits.

[KingFlorez]

3. Seriously, how is this woman equal to the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan?

This is such a stretch, even Rush can't even lay out any real reasons for this stupid comparison.

[Harry Monroe]

7. The Republicans and their "leader" are just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.

[kiranon]

13. Unfortunately for them, it's their own. n/t

4. And Tom Tancredo called La Raza (of which she's a member) "The Latino KKK"...

And Pat Buchanan called her "a La Raza woman" and later called her "that woman." I hope they keep it up.

[polmaven]

11. Buchanan calls President Obama

"this guy" or "that guy", too....

[jenmito]

12. I know. He has NO respect for ANYONE of ANY color except white.

He wants WHITE people to get a "fair shake." :rofl:

[polmaven]

14. I'd like to get the chance

to give HIM a shake...!

[jenmito]

16. So would I...

he is old school racist.

[Bucky]

5. Yes, I can see that analogy...

6. Only a matter of time before Rush declares himself the second coming of Christ

"my wit and wisdom and brilliance is being drowned out out there"

"A day is going to come when each and every American looks up to the heavens and says "Why didn't somebody warn me?" I am that someone."


Yeah, like he's really surprised that no-one takes the word of a drug-addled, three-time loser (marriage-wise) seriously.

[xxqqqzme]

9. I was stunned by that language as well.

He wants to be worshiped as the 'Rethuglican Big Daddy in the Sky'.b They are all so pathetic!

[Uzybone]

8. Keep talking Rush et al

keep reminding African Americans why we vote 90%+ democratic, and giving Hispanics reasons to do the same.

[centristgrandpa]

10. liMBaUGH = Idiot

[Tempest]

15. So the rightwing is admitting one of their own is a racist

In therapy this would be called a breakthrough.

[centristgrandpa]
