Where I saw silly, Limbaugh observed something much more profound. Well, maybe profound isn't the right word. (Does he really think all black women are filled with self-doubt and all white, blond women have that much power?) He gave much more thought to it than any TV ad deserves. He had already criticized U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) for denouncing the ad as "demeaning" African-American women -- overkill, I agree, for a statement on the House floor -- but then he couldn't help doubling-back for his rather twisted take. In Rush-world, a racial comment is a terrible thing to waste.The fact is there are more white women than their are black women, the country is highly poulated with white women. This does not make it easier for any american male black or white in the socio-emotional interactions; it now common place for the races to mingle at every level in society. As such, outside of the black community it becomes very easy for a black man to run into a white woman socially-and at that emotional level as well----------And there goes...boom. Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, color blindness is very much widespread and alive in America now, today and there is no turning back. Just marry who you want.

Most black women could not care less about whether or not a black man dates a white woman. I can see being pissed off is your man leaves you for a white woman. You are pissed off if your man leaves for a black, asian, hispanic woman or man. We date white men and and asians and hispanics. There is no difference when the lights are off unless you touch head hair.

As for Rush having a stereotype of blacks, his producer and call screener is black and he's worked with him for 20 years. He's a conservative African American male. i.e. 180 degrees opposite the 94% who voted for Obama. Finally, I promise she didn't get this quote from listening to his show. His humor and sarcasm would put this in context, where it is impossible to hear the laughter from reading a transcript. This woman is a media huckster and a poor journalist.

YOU can have an opinion of how you interpret the commercial and only YOUR way is how it should appear to others, if anyone sees the commercial differently then you then they are stupid and empty headed etc etc etc. I'm not defending Rush Limbaugh, I'm mearly pointing out how your rediculos rant sounds.

February 11 2011 at 9:05 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIf the writer had cared to get the whole picture she would have found that Rush's comments were not as much about the ad as to the (black) Congreswomen from California making a speach on the floor of the House griping about it. His comentary was more about "don't they have better things to do" than the black/white issue that seems to consume so many of our minority brothers and sisters.

I don't care either way. Who cares. Rush is not racist for noticing the percentage of black people who vote in the same bloc. He supported Allen West he is black, He supported Clarence Thomas he supported J.C. Watts who is also black. This is a dumb subject. It's not a racial thing it's an ideological thing. It's not the color of someone's skin but the content of someone's character. We get it. He get's it. Why keep up such a shallow point about a stupid commercial.

If you were either a regular or sometime listener to the Limbaugh program instead of relying on second-hand information, you would know that Rush has many Afro-American friends and acquaintences. His screener for years has been "Snerdley" an Arfo-American. Frankly, I thought the ad was funny and not making a racial statement. However, that is a personal opinion and other people may have seen the ad differently.

February 11 2011 at 8:10 PM Report abuse Permalink +6 rate up rate down ReplyRush is usually right. That is, if you tend to think conservative thoughts.
The lady claims that black people are not monolithic. That claim doesn't square with the 95% of their vote that they sent to Obama. Oh well. I thought that the woman in the ad was just another mean and possibly insane person. Insanity comes in all colors.
We, the 95%, voted for the most qualified.

Did you listen to the show, or are just reporting out of context by what one of your Liberal go-fers told you? Here are some hard facts:
#1- We STILL have Freedom of Speech in this country. You Libs don't like Conservatives having it, but you sure enjoy it, right?
#2- The joke centered on blondes, as well as the stupidity of the Super Bowl ads, all of which are geared to a moronic 6-year old.
#3- The ONLY person making his joke into a political issue is YOU.
