Obama Stokes Racism in New Attack Ad »
Posted By Karlyc 1 year, 4 months ago in NewsRush Limbaugh, featured in a new, Spanish-language Barack Obama ad, says the commercial distorts his past statements and amounts to " race-baiting" by the Democratic nominee.
" Obama is now stoking racism in the country," Limbaugh wrote in an email. " Obama is a disgrace - he wants the public to think he is Mr. Nice Guy while his thugs are in Alaska looking for dirt on Palin and he runs race-baiting ads and lies about what he has done and what McCain has done."

Lol with Mn444.... Funny how some people yell about titles that accurately reflect the content of the story, when really it is the substance of the story they wish to suppress. Thankfully Propeller and other social news sites are not controlled by such elites, yet.

And this is the delightful RL in his own exquisite words, APPARENTLY attempting to mend fences with his "explanation" and in fact kicking them over with his bovver boots:

In response he said, "If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people--I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs, let the kinds of jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do--let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work."
Explaining his comments, Limbaugh writes: "I was referring to jobs in MEXICO. I was not discussing immigrants, illegal or otherwise." -

The glaringly obvious fact is that Rush was playing the race card-
Reply
"Mexicans are stupid and unqualified" and "Shut your mouth or get out." are not exactly nuanced. Rush was busted for being a racist @sshat, and he's trying to deflect blame by saying Obama was playing the race card by quoting Rush's racist hate-spew.
Sorry, Rush, Obama's not the racist here, you are.

OBAMA AND HIS WIFE AS WELL ARE RACIST, JUST READ HIS BOOKS AND HER COLLAGE PAPERS. ARE YOU PEOPLE SO SCARED TO BE JUDGED AS NOT BEING LIBERAL THAT YOU WOULD DARE PLACE A MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO HAS SPENT 143 DAYS OF ACTUAL SENATE SESSIONS AND FEELS HIS EGO IS ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM OUR PRESIDENT? GIVE ME A FRIGGIN BREAK.

Give me a break. Who do you think you are? I dare you call someone a racist by using their personal experiences written in (books and college papers) as evidence. His books were not in any way racist, and although I haven't read Michelle's college paper's, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt.
I'd just like to ask you this, Why is that when black people are smart, successful, and confident, do we called them egotistical. In all of Obama’s appearances I’ve seen nothing but a humble and loving family man who wants to make this a better place for not just his family but yours too.
Vote for or not, he’s done nothing to warrant such hatred from the so many other Americans.
And just for future reference, when you plan to prove that someone other than you is the racist in question, don’t start your statement with YOU PEOPLE proclaiming to be the judge and jury -

No equal pay for equal work
privatizing social security? a disastreous healthcare plan
tax break for the wealthiest?

This is really funny. Rush Limbaugh who plays a song called "Barack the Magic Negro" full of racial stereotyping on his show. And its Barack Obama who is accused of race-baiting. What a joke.

I guess that the Black family who are concerned about the clan burning crosses in their neighbourhood are just playing the race card and are religiously intolerant. Limbaugh is a racist. He is proud to be one. -

There used be another propeller member who used post stories like this and change the titles for her meet her own political viewpoints, well it's both dishonest
and misleading !
BUT I SURE LOVED THE READER COMMENTS BELOW THE STORY!
LIKE THIS ONE FOR EXAMPLE!
"Hahaha... this is rich... the guy who calls Mexicans "stupid and unqualified" says he is the victim of racism. Sorry Rush... the only reasonable context for that comment would be if it were preceded by something like "I WOULD BE A COMPLETE MORON IF I SAID THE FOLLOWING:" -

obama can play the race card all he wants. i will NOT vote for obama not because of his color, but because of his socialist principles. the distribution of wealth he so strongly believes in makes my stomach turn. i work 16 hour days, 6 days a week. yes, i make above 250,000/year, but i am not working those hours to help finance someone who is putting in a 40 hour week at best. i work for my salary. i STRONGLY believe everyone else should do the same. if you do not want to work the same hectic schedule i do because it is against your beliefs, don't expect me to fund your life of leisure.

It was The LA Times in an article last march which first referred to Nobama as "The Magic Negro." Hardly a conservative rag, this newspaper. Rush has simply parodied what was already stated. If ignorance hurts, there must be a number of leftists on this board WRITHING in pain!
