Go Home

I know that old Rush "Oxycontin" Limbaugh's a little upset these days, what with Glenn Beck on the cover of TIME and all. But this is bad, even for him. Time to call the advertisers and radio stations:

In a remark extraordinary even by the standards of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing radio heavyweight declared on his program Wednesday that the United States needed to return to racially segregated buses.

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “I think the guy’s wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama’s America.”

A full transcript of Limbaugh’s comments on his radio show is available at MediaMatters.org.

Limbaugh’s comments came after a called complained to say that local law enforcement said the attack probably wasn’t racially motivated. The incident had been hyped by the conservative Drudge Report, which posted a video of the fracas.

“Police initially said the beating of the white student by two black students appeared to be racially motivated,” the Associated Press wrote. “But police on Tuesday backed away from that.”

That didn’t stop Limbaugh from making his comments Wednesday.

“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,” Limbaugh also said. “I wonder if Obama’s going to come to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard.”

“White Americans are racists who have created what they call free markets that really just enslave the rest of America and her trading partners,” Limbaugh also mocked. “I mean, it was white Americans that ran off Van Jones. No, look, let’s just follow Eric Holder’s advice and not be cowards about all this. Let’s have an open conversation, an honest conversation about all of our typical white grandmothers. You had one, I had one. Obama had one. They’re racists just like our students are. ACORN — hey, nothing but racism fueling the pursuit of ACORN.”

Limbaugh also suggested that racism itself was acceptable.

“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked. “I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things.”

Really, isn't it time that decent people just said NO to Rush Limbaugh?

He's complaining about the book NurtureShock. He incorrectly believes that the book makes the argument that people are born racist. He hates the notion, thinks the idea is incorrect, and is a liberal plot to label conservatives as inherently racist, then he brings the argument to its awful policy conclusion: If you believe racism is inborn, he says, then you have to tolerate it like other inborn characteristics. He actually argues against the notion that racism is inborn. A liberal would have to defend racism as they do homosexuality if people are born as racist, he says. You're just reading a sarcastic rant.

roooth's picture

explain to me how sarcasm and racism are mutually exclusive?

fiveblacklines's picture

Limbaugh is racist when he says that black on white violence is because of our black president. That's just classic, fear-based racism. But Limbuagh has been on a rant AGAINST the notion of inborn racism since hearing about NurtureShock. We are reading sarcasm when he talks about that. My only point.

roooth's picture

that you are willing to split hairs so finely to defend Limpbaugh.

That energy could probably be better spent on something more worthy....like cleaning hairs out of a drain.

If you don't want to look at this in the overall context of both the body (no pun) of Limpbaugh's racist statements, and the effect he has on his racist listeners, you don't have to.

But, the man who calls the president, Barack the Magic Negro, and the Halfrican American is neither is facetious humorist or a philosopher.

He's a bigot, deliberately inciting more bigotry. And he doesn't give a damn who gets hurt in the process.

fiveblacklines's picture

When we complain about people who argue in fact-free rants, we need to do better than them. Forget how well his sarcasm was delivered. Just seeing Limbaugh's rants against the idea that racism is inborn is enough to show us that he does not believe what he is saying here.

Do a google search on: [limbaugh nurtureshock] and you will see.

crooksandliars.com is now making an argument that Rush is a racist and using his sarcastic complaint against racism as their example. You know what he's going to do with that? Crooksandliars.com is stupid. That's what he'll do with that.

Play your A-game.

roooth's picture

would Rush acknowledge a well-played A-game that showed him for what he is?

None.

That's like saying if Obama comes up with a really good health care plan, the GOP will acknowledge his work.

Rush is a racist - I don't care if this week's rant is supposedly "sarcastic"; the reality is that this is just the latest in a never-ending stream of insults to people of color, accompanied by an equally never-ending stream of self-pitying victim rationalizations for the poor angry white men who feel the control a racist society gave them slipping away.

You know, just because he found a book to couch this week's never-ending barrage of racism in, doesn't change that.

Answer me this: if Rush didn't have race and hate to spew, what would he talk about? Could he do a single day, let alone a single week, without pitting one side of the country against the other?

Anything and everything he does is based on hate, intolerence, and his profit.

It is what it is.

ThunderMonkey's picture

It's not good sarcasm, if it is sarcasm.

Sarcasm is saying the opposite of what you mean, but changing your voice and non-verbal communication.

Rush did none of those things, thus there's no sarcasm... if there is... it's completely lost except to the 1% of the audience that listens to him.

So... Rush doesn't believe that are born to be attracted to the same sex? If you follow it to its absurd conclusion that if he believes people aren't born with a bias towards others, then he must believe that people aren't born to be homosexuals.

I only asked the question because I've already seen this arguement several times - which means the dittoheads are just parroting another hopeful meme to distract.

But, and this but is as big as Rush's monumental ass, there is no mutual exclusivity between sarcasm and racism. Just because an excuse of sarcasm of is offered up, it does not mitigate the racism. At all.

It's just chump tossed for his fans, so they can tell themselves that they aren't racists either - they just enjoy fine sarcasm.

The Repubes will never shut up because they are winning the battle to frame the argument.

Why are Blacks called "AFRICAN-Americams"?
I suggest we liberals call Blacks, "Americans".
...and call Whites, "Caucasian-Americans".

Similarly, "Traditional Marriage" has become a code word for hatred of gays.
We sould call gay marriage, "Marriage".
Traditional man-on-woman marriage should be called "Vaginal Creampie Marriage".

Just a modest proposal.

At least this kid was only beat up. He wasn't tied to the bumper of the bus and dragged until he was dead.
It is amusing, though, to see Rush this desperate. What will Beck respond with, I wonder? Could this become a flame war? I am giddy at the thought of that.

liberalNmoderation's picture

...racism is TAUGHT, rush.
It isn't inborn...it's passed on through fear, hate, and IGNORANCE.

I don't think this is anything he would understand. But racism is taught not inborn.

I don't think he understands "projection."

Tyler Durden's picture

... and you'll get his undivided attention on the matter.

I've got a feeling that this is going to be boiled down to a typical schoolyard type of argument that escalated into a fight. Nothing racial, just two kids having an argument. And it just might be that the other students were cheering on the kid throwing the punches were doing so because the kid on the receiving end was being a jerk.

Not justifying the violence, but it is something that's happened between students in that age group since there were students in that age group.

if there was a racial tone to the fight...WTF...like racism is a new issue...my god Limpballs is an ass

..nobody wanted him to sit next to them and when the kid moved some books, the black youths took exception and beat him up. It could've been any number of things but I don't think overt racism (like rush spews) was the motivator.


Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"

Andy K's picture

...the kid moving the books picked them up and offered to hold onto them, or do you think he dumped them onto the floor of the bus? I'm thinking probably the latter.

I'm with you- I don't think it's racism at all. I think it's just part of the normal socialization process. This is how kids learn boundaries. They piss someone off, get punched, and learn the lesson.

I thought everyone had already assumed this.

Andy K's picture

...there was some natural animosity between the two kids, based on the amount of melanin each of their bodies contain.

yakfitguy's picture

That's what kids do when fights break out. Actually, that's what many adults do also. This is nothing more than a classic case of bullying.

As always, Limbaugh shamelessly uses any opportunuity to damage his country. He is by far, one of the most EVIL men in recent memory.

I remember about 15 years ago it made a lot of waves when some white people were getting whomped on after accidentally driving into an area where people were rioting. But then it came out afterwards that the reason they weren't badly harmed, was because some black people pulled them out of the melee.

His audience is a direct result of his megaphone and not the other way around.

It's not like he became so popular that his show grew and grew. He preaches the Conservative Establishment Party line, so Clear Channel (the epitome of the Conservative Establishment) put him on nationwide.

Anybody with such national exposure in a heavily oligopolized media will have an audience numbering in the millions.


Corruption favors the wealthy.

Look, why are we so concerned with this being labeled a racist attack.

It very likely was. That's not the issue. The issue whether white on black or black on white is RACISM, and either way...the solution is NOT segregation.

The solution is to confront it, understand it, deal with it, resolve it...and move FORWARD.

Rush could give a rat's ass about the racism issue. He is USING this event to promote his and the right wing freepers view that we need to return the world to their view of the "proper order of things". That is, segregated races, acceptance of whites as a "superior" race, acceptance of men as superior to women, the infantilization of women, the view of children as property....and women also...etc, etc.


"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."

Race so infects everything we do in this country, that any time a white guy and a minority get into a spat of some sort it's likely that the ugly face or racism does surface... on both sides. That's nearly inevitable. The reason Rush's comments are so execrable is that he seeks to profit by stoking racial tensions rather than work to minimize them.

In my opinion, Limbaugh and the rest of these right wing hate mongers are all Christians, predicating the racist bigotry upon ideologies taught to them in their Christianic churches.

Rush, your kind of thinking was irrelevant one second after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus. One second after little kids were killed by a bomb in Montgomery Alabama. One second after freedom marchers were hosed and bitten and killed in the Old South of George Wallace. In other words, shut your racist mouth.

Notice how he makes racism mainstream?
This absolutely stuns me, how he can infer that people are racists because it is inborn like being gay. His thinking is deranged and I doubt their is any sanity left in the republican party.
They cannot even admit to themselves, the number of people attending the tea bigot march this weekend, they say it was 2 million and by God it is the evil liberal press saying 70,000.
They will take no responsibility for their actions, because they are good christian people. It is OTHERS(Obama, liberals, gays etc.) that make them angry and so it is not their fault, they are PROVOKED!!!
This is so dangerous because this will escalate until real violence will occur. No one in the republican party is standing up to this mob mentality. No one is grown up enough to say enough.
They will let this country explode and blame the Democrats for that too.

To convince my Liberal friends of what is to come:

CIVIL WAR

The seeds are being sown. The rhetoric I hear lately from the right reminds me of slave state politicians in the 1830's through the 1850's.

Just like in 1861, this country is at a crossroads...a moment of truth. We are sharply divided on what our country will look like going forward. The right feels disenfranchised and is talking violence. They are afraid of fundamental change that in their minds, threatens their very existence. The "darkies" are going to get them. The Confederates felt very much the same.

Or maybe we are like Germany in the late 1920's or early 30's. People brought guns to political rallies. The people saw a corrupt, inept, and weak government. The economy was crashing. Xenophobia reigned. It got so bad, all forms of political debate broke down and in the end, all that was left was a battle in the streets. The Nazi's won those battles. That civil war was low level. There were no armies, just acts of violence and intimidation by right-wing thugs...Brownshirts.

We need stop this before a lot of people die.

i couldn't be more ecstatic to see rush for whatever his reason show his true racist colors. of course there will be those who follow along with him because they have racist leanings underneath their thick coats of pretense. in essence though there will be those who are too dense to have realized what this blowhard really stands for, it will force them off the fence and they will be faced with a decision: they will either go with rush and admit their own racist leanings or they will discard the blowhard and recognize him for what he is and what he has always been and they will be forced to throw away rush and his negative hateful devisive philosophy.

fiveblacklines's picture

Limbaugh is not agreeing with the idea that we are born racist. He has complained about the book NurtureShock which he believes makes that argument. He then extrapolates the awful policy implications of such a bad notion (we should make allowances for racism). You're really missing the point he's making through sarcasm.

Now where I DO think he's being racist is in thinking that black-on-white violence is the result of having Obama as president. Obama's blackness is the only thing that could correlate.

But you're missing the background of the "born racist" complaint.

ThunderMonkey's picture

too much credit.

He isn't smart enough to pull off good sarcasm. Sarcasm isn't necessarily in the words, but in the tone and body language. I saw the clip of Rush uttering those words on Keith's show from last night... he was far from being sarcastic.

But to give Rush the benefit of a doubt... it wasn't good sarcasm.

Do a quick google search on: limbaugh nortureshock

You will see how against the idea of inborn racism he is. He thinks the idea is a lie and that it is a liberal plot to make conservatives look hopelessly immoral.

If we are going to be taken seriously in our criticisms, we need to know our facts are correct. Limbaugh's fans right now are laughing at his critics who quickly damn him without facts. This just make us look bad.

by careful presentation of the facts. They were born that way.

This most recent round of high-pitched Limbaugh incitement is calculated and timed to drown out important discussions about healthcare and other issues. We try to have a grown up debate, and suddenly the discussion is highjacked and we're all talking about dimwit tea-bag parties, Joe Wilson, tort reform and bringing back segregated busing.

The right loses when they actually have to debate issues. So they do everything they can to derail the debate. Time after time after time.

I would gladly forego a grownup debate to reflect on the well past due passing of Rush Limbaugh.

Why does racist rhetoric, so frequent and unchecked, make these guys millions? What interests float this boat?

"We need segregated buses."

If that means fat, drug-addicted, right-wing blowhards with erectile problems have to sit at the back of the bus, I'm for it.

it's good they keep on marginizing the GOP. weak ass GOP buckley types, wont stand up to the bullys. and get ready for the palin pageant show next year.

it's a good time to go to the mattresses.....

where the black kids get to beat up on the white kids for a change.

This is what the Limbaughites are scared of: That blacks are going to turn around and treat whites the same crappy way whites have treated blacks for generations. In their beady little minds.

It's a very honest question and it should be debated. ABC is his employer and to have them distancing themselves from his comments is not enough. This guy should be fired and publicly condemned. Where is a list available for his advertisers?

If by pulishing a list of his advertisers followed by an all-out boycott of those advertisers by the people on this blog, then i feel this blog will have finally served a purpose. i too often feel that the blog's sole purpose is to allow peole a venue to voice an opinion contrary to wide belief. if the blog were to crusade a boycott of the advertisers who actually support this worthless lard basket, then i feel this blog would have served a useful purtpose. I do have to say that i admire john damato when he goes on the offensive against the conservative element. just wish he would engage more often. He definitely has the intellect to compete and win.

I got beat up on a school bus. And it had nothing to do with race. Rush the child toucher is as vile as they come.

How'd that "just say no" shit work for Nancy Reagan's war on drugs?

No, it is NOT time to just say no to Limbaugh. It is time to grind him into the dirt. It's time to hound him from sun up to sundown and to expose him on every level day in and day out. He claims that's what his opponents do anyway. Time to make that a reality. The man is not made of steel. With enough pressure, he'll break.

Poor Rush. It really is affecting his obese, Oxycontin loving ego to have this black man in office.

Tisk, tisk, tisk.

Exactly what I was thinking. Just what in the hell was he talking about?

Don't worry Rush. Beck may have usurped you as the titular head of the GOP but you're still the tits-ular head of the GOP.

I wish we could come up with a Law that would Force the FCC.
To only Transmit his lies in the Red States where they are used
to being Lied to.

How long can he keep up this rant? What could his wife, girlfriend, lover do with him after work? He must be drained by now. And all over one young, attractive, charismatic black man. I smile, and it is not a smirk.
