1. Typical Limbaugh.

He doesn't even bother to hide his racism anymore.

[cboy4]

2. He was probably diddling himself under the radio desk

while he was saying it more than two dozen times, including a song? :wtf:

He really should wear his Ku Klux Klan outfit while he's on the air.

3. See also this DU thread about the original LA Times op-ed

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=450599&mesg_id=450599

So many on DU were criticising the article before Rush raised his ugly head.

4. i find david ehrenstien the author of this trash vile

"Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him".

5. I hope his limo breaks down - in Harlem

He'll find out that knowing Clarence Thomas won't save him.

6. "Rush the OxyMoron lived by the sea...

Spewing all his right-wing hate from a land called GOP...

11. Good one!

:rofl:

[PreacherCasey]

7. Wrong! I heard the part of his show where he said this. He also said

that even though it was the LA Times guy who coined the phrase, it will be attributed to him by the radical left blogosphere.

Don't play into it.

9. He wants to "own" the term. Well, let him own the blowback. n/t

8. K & R, to get Limbaugh's ugly racism front and center.

I know it's pukeworthy, but there is a sizable number of US citizens who would be deeply offended by this and who don't even know he's spewing this crap.

His remarks about Donovan McNabb were marginally less offensive, and he was booted off CBS because they were said during a widely viewed television show.

Shine the light on this cockroach expose him for what he is and send him scurrying, hopefully right into a roach motel.

10. These maggots haven't realized that their code speech

isn't impressing anyone anymore. They destroyed a few reputations and careers with their incessant use of perjorative adjectives and phrasing in the past. I think though that the kool-aid drinkers are waking up and seeing the maggots for the poo eaters that they are.

12. Rush...

Take some Magic Mint.
