      He must define reverse racism as when anyone disagrees with his racist comments!!!! He just insulted Hispanic Americans and the President with this comment today and no Republicans will renounce him for it.He just insulted the President and Black Americans with his "forced reparations" comment.Has any Republican other than Colin Powel renounced him for that ridiculous comment?Not even Michael Steele will do it!! Pitiful!!!

      Who is he calling a "greatest living example of a reverse racist" G.H.W. Bush? Afterall, he is the person who appointed her to the courts first.

      Another example of Rush lashing out first and thinking later.

      Limbaugh is leading the drooling 21 percenters right off the cliff. Keep drumming up that racism, Rush. Very classy.

        And the best part is, is that Rush, and Cheney, and others like them claim that they need to be MORE conservative to win things. Good luck boys!

      No person that is using reverse racist as a label knows what it means....it rarely ever happens and is usually used by a racist as a distraction. It stems from the same stupid argument that people who oppose affirmative action. Its like running in a race and you kick your opponent when the pistol fires. Then while you're taking your head start you get made because you look back and people are helping the other runner and not you.

      All you haters need to quiet down.

      Rush, if you're reading this, I urge you to keep on speaking truth to power, brother. After all, it worked so well for you last year when you worked to paint Obama as a black supremacist Marxist terrorist.

      By the way, at this critical juncture in our nation's history, I think the gloves really need to come off. Hasn't the time come to commission that tool Paul Shanklin to come up with a new, catchy, and utterly witless parody song a la Barack The Magic Negro for Colin Powell and other reverse racists within and outside the GOP?

      Please, Rush, I'm begging you. Your critics will ask you to tone down the rhetoric, but I say that America needs you to voice these sorts of grossly offensive and hypocritical half-thoughts even more loudly than ever. Some may say that this kind of bass ackwards, race baiting, and perniciously polarizing bullsnot cost you the 2008 election, but you and I know that you just weren't trying hard enough. Now is the time to -- to paraphrase a greater man -- bring it on.

      So it's not racism when Limbaugh says:

      - That blacks opinions don't matter because they are only 12% of the population.
      - Stating NAACP should riot rehearsals.
      - Made dumb comments while working for ESPN comparing a game of football to the bloods vs. crips.
      - Telling an black caller to "take that bone out of your nose".
      - Smearing Obama during his campaign, calling him Arab etc.

      For a man who claims not to be racist, he sure brings up people's race/ethnicity up a lot.

      Of course Rush is one of many Republicans who play the "That's not racist" card, and the "Affirmative Action" one as well.

        Do you have any idea that "Racism" and "Stereotype" are used incorrectly? Think about what you are pointing out and then apply each definition. I'm tired of folks that don't get it accurate.

        Example: comparing a game of football to the Bloods and Crips is racist? How? Does it mean he hates them? And if so, does it mean he hates gang members? Because some of them are white, Mexican, etc.

        You have made no point by your comments. Please try again.

      Humans are predators, and are naturally racist, this was necessary for survival when we lived in caves. Liberals want their cake and eat it too. They want multi-culturalism, but don't want the ill effects of reverse racism, which is what Sotomayer is, a racist, like many whites, blacks, etc.
