Here are a few Limbaugh gems to consider.
"Here you have a racist – you might want to soften that, and you might want to say a reverse racist," Limbaugh said of that comment.
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2549
As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out."
In a similar vein, here is Limbaugh's mocking take on the NAACP, a group with a 90-year commitment to nonviolence: "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up" theme song from TV's Jeffersons when he mentioned her. Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect -- substituting "ax" for "ask"-- when discussing black leaders.
Limbaugh also made an ugly reference two years ago to the father of Madonna's first child, a Latino, as "a gang member-type guy" -- an individual with no gang background.
Once, in response to a caller arguing that black people need to be heard, Limbaugh responded: "They are 12% of the population. Who the hell cares?"

"There's some little strife going on in Venezuela with that wacko, Cesar Chavez, down there. Hugo. Hugo, Cesar--whatever. A Chavez is a Chavez. We've always had problems with them." -- Rush Limbaugh
(César Chávez was the founder of the United Farm Workers union. )
"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray. We miss you, James. Godspeed." -- Rush Limbaugh
(James Earl Ray is the the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King.)

"Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it." -- Rush Limbaugh
"Sonia Sotomayor is not the brain that they're portraying her to be. She's not a constitutional jurist," Limbaugh also said.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/26/sotomayor.b...
Sotomayor later graduated summa cumlaude from Princeton University and went on to attend Yale law school, where she was editor of the Yale Law Journal.

A college drop-out, Limbaugh knew that he wanted to work in radio from boyhood.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/10/10/rush.limbaug...
"I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication."
Law enforcement sources said last week that Limbaugh's name had come up during an investigation into a black market drug ring in Palm Beach County, Florida. The sources said that authorities were looking into the illegal sale of the prescription drugs OxyContin and hydrocodone.-

You might want to consider if all those quotes are accurate before you post them. Oh what's that? You don't care if they're accurate if they're slamming Rush? Just as I thought make up anything if it's about someone you hate, that's the liberal progressive rules isn't it?-

Suggesting that ybdog's information is incorrect, coming from the Propeller king of hyperbole and rhetoric, one Wolfie 2007, holds as much proverbial water as a collander.
Perhaps you can disprove his research.
Oh, whats that, you cant?
We'll all go back to disregarding your nonsensical rhetoric now.
Hurry!! Rush is on right now talkin' bout how them damn libbies is a plannin ta load the court with "incompetent activist hacks".
Wouldnt want to miss that one. -

Awww....What's the matter? You don't like hearing your idol Limbaugh undone by his own words? What a crybaby...and a Limbaugh kiss-ass to boot.
LOL.
Well, after you're done licking Limbaugh's pilonidal cyst, then by all means, disprove all of these quotes, by posting YOUR evidence. Put up or shut up.

Hey, you know what's a riot? Comparing one of the country's foremost Latino politicians to "a shoeshine guy" because of his race.
"I shook [Clinton's] hand, he left, comes back [with] the mayor of Los Angeles," Rush Limbaugh told listeners. "I thought it was a Secret Service agent, maybe a shoeshine guy. Turns out he gives me his card, I said, 'Oh, my gosh, it's the mayor of Los Angeles.'"

In the wake of his controversial statements regarding Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, Rush Limbaugh has resigned from his position on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown pregame show.
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,'' Limbaugh said. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
On Tuesday, McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News: "It's sad that you've got to go to skin color. I thought we were through with that whole deal."n Tuesday, McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News: "It's sad that you've got to go to skin color. I thought we were through with that whole deal."

LIMBAUGH: Yeah. This is -- you're not going to believe this, but it's very simple. And the sooner you believe it, and the sooner you let this truth permeate the boundaries you have that tell you this is just simply not possible, the better you will understand Democrats in everything. You are right. They want to get us out of Iraq, but they can't wait to get us into Darfur.
CALLER: Right.
LIMBAUGH: There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in Darfur?
CALLER: Uh, yeah.
LIMBAUGH: It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they're in trouble.
CALLER: Yes. Yes. The black population.
LIMBAUGH: Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela -- who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.

Today, Rush Limbaugh began a new line of openly racist attacks on Barack Obama. According to Limbaugh, Obama is "stupid" and "probably didn’t get out of Harvard without affirmative action."
As a college dropout, Rush Limbaugh probably doesn’t understand the use of blind grading in many law school classes. In fact, Obama graduated Harvard Law School magna cumlaude.
No one can possibly imagine that Obama’s success in law school, including selection to the Harvard Law Review, passing the bar, becoming a teacher at the University of Chicago Law School, was all somehow granted to him by a conspiracy of Harvard Law professors to raise his grade.-

On Limbaugh's biography on Wikipedia, not only was he a college dropout, his own mother admitted he flunked "everything," including ballroom dancing.

Come on all you cons, Limbaugh doesn't have the intellectual capacity to debate a kindergartner. He has the gall to question an intellectual powerhouse like Sotomayor.
Rush is an entertainer. He says things to entertain people. He doesn't say things to enlighten people or to give moral guidance to the country. He is not a philosopher, he is not a teacher, he is not a moralist, he is not an ethicist. He is not even a politician.
How in the world did the Republican party grant him so much power to lead and influence the entire partY?
Arianna Huffington, Keith Olbermann, and Michael Moore may say and write things that I agree with and are entertaining, but I do not let them guide my own thinking and philosophy. They do not guide the Democratic Party. If one of them were to run for office, like Al Franken, then I would have to decide if the entertainer or commentator is worthy of my vote and support and worthy to be a leader.-

Can you imagine what Romney, Powell, Jeb Bush, McCain, and other major Republican party heads are thinking about Rush right now?
Reply
They have to be shaking their heads, taking a heavy sigh, closing their eyes, and distancing themselves from him as much as they can...
If the party falters any more, they only have to look at Rush for their undoing...-

The republican party is faltering on its own. They are a bunch of spineless appeasers, alienating the conservative base, which got them their power.

Rush is exactly right. If a white judge said he hoped a wise white man in the richness of his experience would reach a better conclusion than a female latino judge would, there would be hell to pay.
There is a reason the woman in the statue of justice is blindfolded.-

Possible, but when taking into consideration her recent ruling of the firefighters test invalid because the results were not diverse enough, I don't think that is the case.

You are who you are, and no pun or racism intended, but she is showing her true color.-

--I don't think you're familiar with this case at all and, worse, you're drawing conclusions based on your own random criteria.

Endoscopy, you have NO idea whatsoever whether Rush has his facts correct.
Reply
Rush most certainly did NOT read Judge Sotomayor's opinions. And he does not have a J.D., much less Sotomayor's 17 years of experience on the federal bench. In fact, Rush Limbaugh's education ended shortly after receiving his high school diploma--he dropped out of Southeastern Missouri State University after two semesters and a summer. According to his own mother, he "flunked everything."
So how can he have any idea whether her legal opinions are valid?
