Rush Limbaugh Calls Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama 'Racists'

How does this statement compare to the RACISM that people of color have endured in this country? Rut seems to forget, that no person of color has ever made a single law in this country...burned a single cross on someones lawn, prohibited blacks and whites from marrying, established two militaries, one for blacks and the other for everyone else, or prohibited blacks, by law, from going to colleges with white students, regardless of their qualifications. This is part of a new, sad, sick narrative the Republican sore losers are using now, telling whites that "after all they've done for blacks, now they will be the victims of racism." And there are just enough of them out there to fall for it too. These are the same people who tell blacks to "get over" slavery.

Well there was this one republican president - named Lincoln who may have done alot for the "people of color". It was the southern governors that were democrats , that tried to stop the integration of southern colleges in the early 1960's. Just so you have the "party" facts straight.

There is no question that the statement made by the supreme court nominee is definately racist. Its not important if another racist brings it to our attention. It is clearly racist. We need a better choice for the position of a supreme court justice. She is way too activist and now shades of racist. Obama should keep interviewing.

it's all about the Hispanic vote in 2012 Obama planned all his commencement speeches in the states he needs and this nomination IS the Hispanic vote. Obama has never stopped campaigning and he is stepping it up a notch... this will appease the Left-Wing Mafia, Soros & the Billionaires Club for a couple of weeks since they are not happy with his Gitmo military tribunals that he kept in tack or his 50,000 troops left in Iraq and will stay for another "10" years, or his 21,000 troops in Afghanistan
If this had been a female Republican with this nomination and she made a anti male & anti white statement like Sotomayor did she would have been crucified by now.... end of story empathy my butt Obama wants the Hispanic vote...
politics should not even enter this nomination .. but of course Obama will make sure it does....

Michelle, do you know what Rush is about? Do you know what he stands for? Have you ever listened to him? I think you have a slightly biased idea about him.

you are soooo correct !!!! and well said

I THINK YOU ARE SO FULL OF SHIT THAT IF YOU FALL YOUR HEASD WILL BUST..

you r right about all of what you said, im not person that hates but this world has gone to the dogs. there is no discipline for kids, no prayers in school. mexicans are coming out of wood works like crazy now. if they marry a woman here they can stay or if they have a baby here they can stay.they are sending all our money over there to mexico so they can pay someone to bring them over here, and now just because they cant speak engish we have to learn theyre language thats all wrong.thats why also why we have so many violence. im not a hater like i said i have a black person in my family but they need to stop with all this about their ancesters well i dont think we need to appologize to none of them. we cant turn back the hands of time but we can look ahead. we didnt have anything to do with it. its just sad. GOD BLESS US ALL

boy did you hit the nail on the head with this comment!!

Dear lauraglow,

While I suspect that you may be rather young and privileged, I think you may have forgotten, or simply don't know, that duriing the gas price crisis, Mr. Bush was, himself, garnering great profits, as did the rest of the oil companies, record-breaking profits, on a mannnn-made crisis intent on taking advanage of bigger and better and more expensive gas guzzling vehicles which didn't speak poverty at the car dealerships. Let us also consider this lengthy war, which should have been resolved in 8 years, but let us also remember that Cheney had a controlling interest in Haliburton, sevicing the servicemen over there, and while he did not participate in the control of his company, he needed not while Haliburton stayed and stayed and Cheney made hay while the sun still shines. These are but two very open "conflict of interest" issues that never should have been.

Now speaking of the 1st amendment, did you know that after H.W. and his affair with another woman who he took along with him and Barbara on a trip to the far east on a state visit, guess who he took to the dinner, and guess whoh got left in her hotel room, to the great embarassment of the host country? And on another occasion, just left Barbara at home, and went with his mistress? And when the press questioned him about having a mistress he said a great big "No!" and nobody pursued him. But they impeached Clinton, becaused they didn't leave him alone like they did H.W. who still may be having that affair. You probably also don't know that W. had his own mistress, which is being kind. During his stay at Yale, going through the initiation ceremony to the Skull and Bones, he was photographed in a compromising position in their ritul casket with a male pal. Years later, when W went into big politics, somehow the photographer down in Florida got mail that was laced with ahthrax and a short while later the building where he had been doing business was the victim of arson. It's all on Google, if you have th time, or the taste to read the facts. The reality is that both Barbara and Laura were Steel Magnolias, and in that they surrendered more to their husband's legacies than anything HW or W did themselves.

Now, let us take a look at your alarm word "socialism", just for heresy's sake. When Reagan came out with his economic "trickle down" theory of of Reaganomics, withiin two years we had a recession on our hands; well, that's what happens when you cut, cut and cut even more the taxes for the Rich and Wealthy. Let me demonstrate with something I learned in Graduate School. Between 1980 and 1990, 99% of American wealth went from being owned by 3% of the population (have I got your interest yet?) to 1% of the population. Now that is trickle up economics, regressive taxes and reverse socialism. OK, I know that's probably a lot for you to comprehend so take your time thinking about it until you can see the relationship between cutting taxes for the rich and stabiizing the economy, on the backs of who is left...the middle and working poor classes. Remember, now, you can't tax the rich, so you're stuck with taxing the middle class and working poor, some making minimum wage, way below poverty level, artficially repressed that is so far behind inflation that it takes two earners at minimum wage to meet poverty level. I know this is alot coming at you all at once, but I think you deserve a chance at the truth; you seem honestly naive, so I will take my time and my master's degree to give you a wakeful eye, if you so choose to accept it. If not, then join the blindly wannabe rich who relate to the Republican party out of association which they feel makes them rich, rich by association, like shopping at Neiman Marcus makes you rich by association, even if you only shopped there once. A psychological association that the Republicans have used to their benefit all along, and the poor deers, with the headlights of truth blaring in their eyes, too hard to deal with just freeze in their position.

Now let us quickly take a look at the GOP's nominee for the last presidential election: McCain. They knew that he had a horrible reputation in Congress for using profane language and a temper he chose not to moderate. Why, even his wife, Cindy, was the victim of his vulgarity and profanity in front of the press, and the Phoenix paper mad a front page point of making this very clear that we could expect as much from him as our Head of state in International Peacekeeping visits, and so, like Kuschev before him, might eventake his s hoe off and bang it repeatedly on the table to get the attention he wanted. And the rest of us, includingmany Republicans could breathe easy once he lost the election; just how low would the GOP party go after W left his administration with something like 27% approval rating, and then McCain damned to demand our friends and foe to "feel the fire" of his years in solitude as an MIA, and finally get even. No, he was not even a gentleman, who would far much better than an embarassment to our country. Why even Sarah Palin, who, you must admit, needs a course or two in geography, with her gentler touch, would notbombard the world with efforts to run them all down, those who did not accept her terms of policy. But even she, after accepting the government funds for the bridge to nowhere, and then changed her mind, did not return the funds to the Treasury, as she was wont to ethically do, but spent it on her own little Alaskan Piggies.

OK, so no one is perfect, and that is muchly the point, but i'd rather have a president who would help the homeless on he streets who lost their jobs and their homes, tghan a president who would give another tax break to the rich and wealthy. But you have your own choice, you Republican CHRISTIAN conservative. Can't have it both ways, you're either Christian or greedy. What'll it be?

sounds like you have anger issues WADE...perhaps you need some of Rush's drugs, though I doubt he'll share. Those who cry racism tend more to be racists then the ones they label racist. Smile Cinderella, I bet if you took the shoe out of your A** you'd see it fits just fine.
