        Yes, he is a racist. I don't care how many policy disagreements you have with the President. I don't care how much his political philosophy differs from yours. It's never appropriate to call him a little boy.

        And, remember, Barack Obama talk Constitutional Law as a professor. It's pretty clear that he didn't have (and doesn't now have) disdain for the Constitution.

            Turns out that the quote from Obama is a http://mediamatters.org/blog/200910230018.

            And turns out that Rush is just as sleazy as we all thought. He's now saying that he "knows" that Obama thinks this stuff, even if the Obama quotes were invented.

        Limbaugh once called President Obama a "little black man-child", so, yes, he is indeed a RACIST.

        Yes it is clearly racist. I'm sure someone will argue that it's appropriate because he's referring to the young Obama but the fact is Rush goes out of his way to call the President boy.

          I don't think we can blame Rush. What with his half-full bottle of Viagra on his desk and his Carribean wall calendar in plain view just on the other side of his big golden microphone, it's natural for his thoughts to turn to boys.

      Rush you have a disdain for the Constitution if you support the Patriot Act, or 90% of what Bush or Regan did as President. I know this because if you look at these things you can see the violation of the Constitution in them. Pointing out a flaw in a man made document is not showing hate for it. Showing hate for it is to disregard it. that is what you and others like you on the right do every day.

      I guess El Rushbo forgot about the time George W. Bush referred to the Constitution as a "goddamned piece of paper".

        Conch and wz,

        I mentioned that quote once and it was pointed out to me that Fact Check debunked it. The guy who reported it is completely unreliable.

          Even a piece of garbage like George Bush is entitled to the facts. Especially when we have his actual presidency to remember, which speaks to his disdain for the Constitution far better than the quote.

          That quote is almost certainly bogus. Bush said, and more importantly did, enough outrageous things while in office that we don't need false quotes to indict him. Honorably noted, Craig.

      I am sick of the Rush/Beck rants. Can we take up a collection and send them to a desert island so they can just yell at each other?
      We have a country to move forward, and they ain't helpin'.

        How about a 'reality show' (personally, I call them Game Shows, since the contestants are battling for a prize) where we take all the RW Pundits in one place and have them battle it out?

        Now, if I could come up with a name for the show... any ideas?

      Really...just think of how miserable Rush Limbaugh must be. He has no choice but to acknowledge/admit that -this BLACK little boy-man-child who opposes the constitution, is a man and also the REAL President of the United States of America. I would ask Rush to read his thesis from college, except he did not go to college but feels he is qualified to critique and explain the content and meaning of the President's thesis. Does Rush even know what a thesis is? Rush's hatred and prejudice must be eating him up inside. I say hatred eat on and eat quickly.

      Here we go once again...Republicans going to their standard playbook attacks of things that Obama did 30 or so years ago. Those on the right that do this are such hypocrites because they say that stuff like this is relevant but when you dig up stuff that they did in the past they say it has no bearing and we're not in a history class.

      Any other writings you want to submit Rush? Maybe some Kindergarten drawings where Obama drew more black people than white? Or maybe a high school paper or two? While you are doing that, we'll investigate every little thing you wrote during your life and we'll see if there is anything embarrassing there.

        Looks like Obama never even wrote that. Rush got pwned.

        Think he'll apologize? Of course not. Look at the MMFA updated posting on this - he says that he doesn't care if the thesis quotes are fakes because he knows that Obama believes it even if he didn't write it down!!!

        Yeah, he really says that.

      The key to Limbaugh's latest rant, a common theme to many of his rants, is that he attacks educated people. This reeks of envy. Limbaugh, like Hannity, Beck, Drudge and other wingnut yackers is uneducated.

      Why are so many on the right getting airtime and cult status so lacking in academic accomplishment?

      The fact of the matter is, idiot Limbaugh has not the slightest idea what the Constitution says. They cherry-pick and distort clauses into what they WANT them to say, then ignore and intent of that article... or ignore other sections that do not support their claim.

      Works great for the morons who latch onto everything he says, but never holds up to any kind of fact check.

        How can you parse Rush's words and pick out these to launch your attacks while Rush is sharing with you that barack hussein obama's college thesis was a direct attack on our constitution??? Doesn't it bother you that the president, who took an oath to defend the constitution, does not believe in it??? Thomas Jefferson (not one of Obama's "supposed founding fathers") wrote on numerous occations that the redistribution of wealth was an attack on our freedoms. Redistribution of wealth is the key to all of barack hussein obama's philosophy for governance. It appears that all those that post to this blog are marxist idealogs with such a narrow world view that you are not open to discuss very important issues. You would prefer to do personal attacks rather than have honest discussions of ideas. I bet you will focus on the fact that I used obama's real name rather than anything I said. Open your minds. This is America. 100,000s have died so that we can have open discussions of ideas rather than be childish and resort to name calling. Be an American while there is still time -- before Obama and the other Marxists (as proven in Obama's own words) take away that freedom too. I would recommend that you listen to Congresswoman Maxine Waters words in the famous video of her telling an oilman that she wants the government to nationalize that industry for just another (like Obama) of many other examples of the heros of the left telling us exactly what they want to do with our wonderful country.

      These hoaxes do nothing but lower the bar for class. I thought this organization was to correct misinformation. Now it's happy that conservatives picked up on a hoax? The fact that this story COULD be taken seriously is much more upsetting to me. I've been a lifelong Democrat. I really think this type of nonsense will drive people away from the party, not attract. This is similar to the "Yes Men" doing a fake press conference, pretending to be the US Chamber of Commerce. Come on! I know they don't represent my party, but they honestly think this helps the global warming cause. And no, I'm not a fake. I'm just someone who still looks at things objectively. I don't want my party turning into a bunch of locker room pranksters.

      I think Limbaugh is a rotten tomato in a bucket that smells up the whole room and spoils any other tomatoes in the bucket. I pity those that would be seen in his company.

      I have to laugh . I think this was the funniest thing to watch Limbaugh make an utter fool out of himself . I think more media "hoax" should be planted out there like this; I so enjoyed the hot winded sermons and fervent views given on totally false claims. It was hysterical to listen to Limbaugh spew his crap so passionately about something that was not even real . This is the kind of bait the conservatives love to bite , I say, give them more, I love to laugh, especially after the last 9 years of total destruction caused by greed and "deregulation". Think I'll listen to fat old Rush again, it really helps to laugh.

      Rush Limbaugh was caught red handed on his radio program when he quoted from a thesis supposedly written by Barack Obama, which appeared on a blog. That’s some great journalism Rush, getting your news stories from some guy sitting in his underwear banging away on his laptop, way to do your research. In reality, it had to be somebody else’s fault, perhaps your staff, but in fairness you probably didn’t want to do to much research into whether or not it was true, because then somebody might’ve scooped you. Google WhatTeddSedd to read my entire comment.

      Obama just wants our money in his pockets and control every aspect of our lives. Automobile companies, health care providers and banks are just the beginning. I admit to getting caught up in the hype of "yes we can" and "hope and change," it was all BS. He's just as much of a racist as Limbaugh.
