Well, he's right. NASCAR dads don't like it when the colored folk get all uppity.

vpb: Well, he's right. NASCAR dads don't like it when the colored folk get all uppity.

You're right. Whatever ridiculous point Rush thought he was making, he turned out to be correct about that.

At least he's honest about his outrage finally...

He wasn't speaking for himself, heavens no, he was voicing the thoughts of those fans of motor racing. Heavy on the race.

Two things happened here:

1. Fans booed the FLOTUS and VFLOTUS at an event
2. Rush said the fans did so because FLOTUS - a black woman - was "uppity"


The fact the the media has spent all their time covering #1 without even mentioning #2 shows that the "left wing media" is not "left wing" at all.

Just who does she think she is? Did she forget that she was born into a poor family? In my day, poor black people knew their place and accepted their lot in life.

Well, he finally spoke the truth on something. Has 'uppity' ever meant anything except a black person who won't stay in their "place" that white people "gave" to them?

So Rush Limbaugh is a racist prick. And we're surprised at this because....?

I know right? She's all learning to read and write.

the media hasn't been "left-wing" since the 1970s.

Racist and hateful speech is Limbaugh's specialty. It's why so many Americans love him so much - because they're racist and hateful, just like him.

/and fat, I forgot fat

Well then I'll just go there and say it: Rush is a druggy, douchebaggy, racist boil - no, pilonidal cyst on America's ass - oh yeah, and chicken hawky, too.

FOADIAF

Yeah, but he's USUALLY more subtle about it. Also to be fair, he has lost quite a bit of weight.

Citing the 2008 incident where then-Sen. Obama was secretly recorded at a fundraiser describing small town Pennsylvanians in hard economic times as getting "bitter" and "cling(ing) to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," Limbaugh said "people that go to NASCAR races are the very people her husband called bitter clingers."

Psssst....genius....booing the FLOTUS and her kids for what her husband said is, well, kinda bitter.

Don't you dare call them racists, though... That makes you the real intolerant one.

Cue up, "It was a joke!" nonsense...

Weaver95: So Rush Limbaugh is a racist prick. And we're surprised at this because....?

he was actually dumb enough to say it instead of hinting at it.

Limbaugh also said "we don't like being told what to eat; we don't like being told how much to exercise; we don't like being told what we've got to drive; we don't like wasting money; we don't like our economy being bankrupted. We don't like 14% unemployment. The question is, what the hell is there to cheer for when Miss Obama and Ms. Biden show up?"

that's like saying we can't take pills and be with dominican boys

I honestly don't understand how he hasn't been killed by someone at this point. No, I'm not advocating it. But he pushes buttons that could force someone over the edge.

SilentStrider: Weaver95: So Rush Limbaugh is a racist prick. And we're surprised at this because....?

He's had a long run, and after awhile, it must be hard to separate out the material. At this point, the low hanging fruit is right there, and it has to be hard for a fella to come up with inventive material. I'd almost feel sorry for the poor wind bag, but I can't spare too much sympathy for such a tiny shred of humanity, when most of his hurt and pain is of his own stewing. Sometimes you just got to let a man boil in his own rage juices...

Of course, that assumes that he's actually enraged. He's not. It's a role and he plays it, and pockets the cash. Which is pretty much the sad thing about him. He's locked into a role, and he plays it, and there really isn't much that is real on his show, or in his public life. He's just a prop, and that is really the thing that must eat at a man, knowing that his opinions aren't just for sale, but that the entire persona is just a construct, and that as soon as he gets too old or his ratings start to dip, that he'll be replaced, and the same folks that generate his material will heap it onto another, who will be just as replaceable. It must suck knowing that you're just a special effect...

"Some of my best friends are uppity negroes!"

I really wonder what his listeners think when they hear that sh*t come from his mouth? Clearly they aren't very bright to begin with, but I'd say the majority of US citizens realize the word carries historical weight. It might not be as obvious as ni**er but still... to call an african american uppity is clearly a hark back to segregated times.


such a shame that he gets to reach millions of ears while others are silenced

I'd say it's a dog whistle. But honestly, "uppity" is pretty damned audible to alot of people.

Lionel Mandrake: "Some of my best friends are uppity negroes!"

As a matter of fact, Clarence Thomas was at Rush's wedding, and guess who was the entertainment? Elton John. The most liberal homosexual in the world.

When Elton John and his husband adopted their baby, Rush was the first person to call to congratulate them!

Rush is an act. He's in it to make money and stir people up. He doesn't believe half of what he says.

Diogenes: I honestly don't understand how he hasn't been killed by someone at this point. No, I'm not advocating it. But he pushes buttons that could force someone over the edge.

i'm guessing that Rush has one hell of a private security setup already in place.

The NASCAR crowd considers you "uppity" and "elitist" if you have most of your teeth and can read.

Ha, you stupid libs have no sense of humor and can't recognize satire when you hear it. One would think that by now you would learn how this works: Rush tells a very funny joke, libs have their panties in a twist and don't get it so they start complaining, and Rush wins. HAHAHA You fell right into his trap again, making the score El Rushbo - 1,234,438 Libs - 0!!!

THIS. The minute his critics forget that Limbaugh is anything beyond somebody who's in the business of making sure people stick around through commercial breaks...he's got 'em. Same goes for anybody who's succesful in radio.

Same goes for his fans, too. He's not about advancing the conservative or Republican cause...Rush Inc. comes first and foremost.

Wildly succesful troll is wildly successful yet again.

He's not running for office. He is an entertainer, just a comedian, people. Besides that, he said "uppity-ism," which has a completely different context than "uppity" by itself.

She was engaged in some "uppity-ism" is different than "she was being uppity." It isn't like he said the N word.

Get over it, libs. There are bigger problems than this in America, what with that darkie in the White House.

VictoryCabal: Ha, you stupid libs have no sense of humor and can't recognize satire when you hear it.

You, on the other hand, get a 1/10.

And now rush is talking about anal exams....

TMI rush...way too much information!

I don't think you achieve "elitist" status with those yokels until you graduate from the 8th Grade...

2/10. This had more promise but you hugely oversold the end.

Rush isn't interested in you unless you're in the market for a Select Comfort mattress.

I see the usual suspects are staying very far away from this because Rush hasn't told them how to spin this yet.

Frankly, I'm surprised it took this long. Fox had been doing this kind of thing for years, and Rush already "ching-chong-ching"-ed the Chinese Ambassador back in January.

Gulper Eel: 2/10. This had more promise but you hugely oversold the end.

Couldn't help it. After reading what VernonFL wrote, I just had to cut loose with some ridiculousness on par with it.

You do understand that this makes him more of a scumsucking human shiatstain right?

"Too Jewish."

He is a true intellectual and moral leader of the republican party.
