Rush Slams MSNBC: ‘You Know What We Call People Obsessed With Race? Racists’
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh attacked MSNBC on his program today after listing a series of words that the cable news network has determined to be racially coded defamations of President Barack Obama. “You know what we call people obsessed with race? Racists,” said Limbaugh. “Really what we have here is blatant bigotry and racism on this network of holier-than-thou liberals.”
Limbaugh said that Democratic supporters have nothing positive to say about Obama’s tenure which is why there has been a recent increase in charges of covert or overt racism on the part of Republicans. “They have now descended into the only thing they’ve got, which is criticism, mischaracterization, impugning of their opponents,” said Limbaugh.
“MSNBC has decided that, no matter what, it’s racist,” said Limbaugh. “They are a political operation – MSNBC is not a news network.”
“They are nothing more than a Super PAC. They are nothing more than an arm of the campaign,” Limbaugh continued. “The charge they’ve been given is to run around on TV and to say that everything every Republican is saying is racist, because they don’t have anything else.”
“Even using the word ‘Chicago’ was said to be racist,” said Limbaugh, noting that he was unclear as to the genesis of that charge other than President Barack Obama lives there. “it’s all nonsensical.”
Limbaugh went on to criticize MSNBC host Touré, who said that Romney’s campaign was engaging in the “niggerizaiton” of Obama. “Nobody understood that, and even, at the time, that was so overboard that they appealed to Touré’s better angels and asked him to apologize while saying it again.”

Liberals have been cornered by their false beliefs. The next step is outright insanity.

Rush is pretty crystal clear on this one. This is why he makes the big bucks.

You’re not going to shame them because they know that since they’re liberals, they CAN’T be racist, just like blacks can’t be.

I was surprised by and liked Bruce Willis’ Die Hard 3 which dealt with reverse discrimination. Samuel L Jackson’s character was racist against white people. They actually went there, I was surprised.
Hey, it happens too.
In this case I’m glad Rush is coming out and saying it. This political correctness race baiting BS has got to stop.
White folk for the most part are NOT racist. Not racist in the sense of what the word actually means. It’s almost come to the point if you even acknowledge that someone has a different skin color and might have different cultural norms – RACIST!
But after a certain point, after freakin being called a damn racist all the time, walking on egg shells all the time, looking for traps and snares with the lefties lookin’ for “racism” all the time – it’s about enough to make a white guy start to resent the black folks.
Leave us alone, you don’t see me owning any other humans. I ain’t oppressin’ you!
The ones who are oppressing you are the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons and the entire damn democratic party. All you are is a voting block!
Wake up, brother, they’re using you! It isn’t the white guy!

@bob “Samuel L Jackson’s character was racist against white people.”
In other words, he plays himself in the movie.

Rush is just tellin’ it like it is…which is what he does.
This is desperation, writ large!
And they’re out of ideas…the negative ads, the nonsense about Bain, Harry Reid’s slanderous attack, the fact that his wife owns a horse(?)…
all that stuff was thrown out there, and NONE of it did a thing!
Malkin was on Hannity last night talking about these so-called “dog whistle” words. The list includes “kitchen cabinet” and “professor”, which left her and Hannity totally nonplussed.

I was raised in a non-racist household. My parents never, and I mean never used a negative word to describe black people. I lived on an all white street except for one home owned by an elderly black couple. Once when I was very young the neighbor kids and I went about ringing doorbells and running away. My mom went balistic when she heard that we had done this to this black family. I think that was the only time I realized that blacks might be different.
Then came the 60′s. This was a time of self reflection because ALL white people were, of course, racists.
Now my older brother, whenever discussing anyone will identify the person as black even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of our conversation. It is an automatic reflex. He is one of those who bought into the “Hope and Change” and voted for Obama because he was black, excusing and ignoring the Rev. Wright stuff because “You just don’t understand black churches.”
We no longer discuss politics. But I notice the constant references to people’s skin color no matter what the topic. It is so sad.

Chris Mathews, Rachel, and Toure, among others who blather bullshit all day, are throwing fuel on the racism issue (there wouldn’t be an issue if those scumbags would quit lying). These low life garbage mouths need to be tried for treason and executed! This crap only makes things worse for the country. As Rush says, they have nothing else because either they are just plain stupid, or they are intentionally causing trouble for the country.

Has he retracted his apology to the SLUT yet?
I CAN’T listen to him, or take him seriously, UNTIL he does.

Just words.
New york Assembly canditate (idiot) Ben Akselrod used the word “Negrohood” in a campaign flyer.
Here is Mark Stein’s take on the matter:
“Mr.Akselrod now says it was a “typo.” Could happen to anyone. You’re typing “neighborhood,” and you leave out the “i,” and the”h” and”b,” and the “o” and “a” get mysteriously inverted. Either that or your desktop came with Al Sharpton’s spellcheck. And then nobody at the campaign office reading through the mailer spotted it. Odd.”

Mark Steyn rocks.

Is that tub load of vomit still breathing? I thought his brakes failed on the drive from his 3rd or 4th ex wife after they refused to give him a hand job.
