Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
With any luck, the Republican Party will follow Step 3 of their Health Care Plan, as illustrated by Congressman Grayson:
As Fox News has foregone any pretense of presenting the news after being outed as an arm of the GOP, Limbaugh has dropped any discretion he ever had in terms of using racially charged language in attacking the President.
Try reading a book. That would be a good start. Preferably a book not written by anyone associated with Fox News.
Here's one source of "boy"
From:
http://www.rsdb.org/
"Boy-Blacks-Originated during slavery. Used to belittle blacks."
Ask Geoff Davis. If "boy" wasn't a charged insult, why would he have to apologize for calling Obama "boy."

Here's another good read for you, grunt:
http://www.americablog.com/2008/04/gop-house-member-calls-obama-boy-that.html
"Again, in southern speak, everyone knows what "boy" means when it's said about a black man."
Read those and let me know your thoughts.
Oh, and Rush, just remember...no matter how wealthy you are you will never, as long as you live, ever achieve the power, popularity and respect that Barack Obama enjoys. This "little boy...little man-child" has you beat by miles...and without his Presidency where exactly would you be? That's show biz...
Hey, Limpy -- this "little boy, this little man-child" is 48 years old.
This "little boy, this little man-child" is a devoted husband and father.
This "little boy, this little man-child" was lovingly raised by his grandparents and a single mother.
This "little boy, this little man-child" EMBODIED the "American Dream" by arising from those circumstances to get a quality education at TWO Ivy-League universities.
This "little boy, this little man-child" endured a long and bruising presidential campaign -- and the continuous slurs by YOU and your fellow wingnut noisemakers -- to assume the nation's highest elective office.
This "little boy, this little man-child" has earned the RESPECT of millions in both the USA and AROUND THE WORLD.
THAT'S what this "little boy, this little man-child" has done.
As Irony asked, other than run your pie-hole for an obscene amount of money and complain about not getting in NFL, just what the f--k have YOU done, Rush??
My uncle was introducing his family members, and when he got to his brother, my Dad, said "and this is George, my baby brother."
It became a family joke that as a grown man, my Dad was referred to as a baby brother.
There are some things you just don't do. Calling the President of the United States a little boy or a little man-child is one of them.
I doubt Limbaugh will ever use that word, but I'm sure some wingnuts would make those arguments if he actually did. If people are shameless enough to defend George Allen's "Macaca" comment, they'll defend anything.
What's Bill Maher got to do with the current subject.
Try again, troll.
Please list all the occasions Bill Maher has referred to President Obama as a "little boy, little man-child".
Tick-tock . . .
With a picture of Michelle in the WH garden the caption was, "Hoe in the Garden." The segment was racist headlines on the "Drudge Report".
He said Obama is the same president as George Bush. He's just a different color.
Would you like some more?
And he highlights a racist headline on the Drudge Report makes Maher a racist? Really?
What else do you have, because I'm pretty sure neither of those are racist at all.
Why would someone deem it necessary to point out that Obama was a different race than Bush when criticizing the man? To me, that would be racist by the standards earlier established on this site.
It's not any skin off my nose if Maher has made racist comments, but those examples don't seem very compelling.
So, which is it with you?
That's the same circular logic used by religions, scientology, and others of their ilk.
Prove it? Ok, assuming you can read, check out MM's collection of Rush. You'll like it BECAUSE IT'S IN LIMBAUGH'S OWN WORDS.
Evidence? One piece of many: Monday Night Football.
Balls in your court, troll.
Monday Night Football? Tell me what he said on Monday Night Football? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't on Monday Night Football, and you won't be able to tell me how it is racist.
Fixed.
You don't have to look any further than the web site you're currently on:

You're not serious about this, are you?
So if someone calls an african american the n-word, you would need someone else to prove to you that that was racist, before you would acknowledge it as such?
Most sane people would say no, because the n-word is a pretty universally recognized racial slur. Well, calling a black man "boy" in a condescending manner emerged from the same history of racism as the n-word did. But obviously, you refuse to see this.
What exactly do you, or any other dittohead, get out of defending these kinds of comments? How do you in any way benefit from defending something like this, calling a 48 year old black man "boy" or "little man-child"? Why on earth would anyone want to pretend that was acceptable?
Where is your compelling case that proves it is NOT racism!!?
So -- its alright for you to "just provide a quote" in order to prove Bill Maher a racist . . . but not alright for MMfA to provide one to prove Limpballs one.
Wingnut logic at its finest. Buh-BYE!
It's probably the only ball that Grunt has.....
Why does he constantly bring Obama's race into his arguments? He has called Obama an "angry black man." Has he ever used race when describing John Kerry, Bill Clinton or Harry Reid? If he has, please post examples.
If he's not racist, explain this quote:
"Limbaugh also addressed the recent murder of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, student body president Eve Carson, stating,
"I have a question: I wonder how white college students at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, are feeling these days. I wonder if they are nervous walking down the street, and they see a couple of black boys dressed in baggy clothes with their hats on backwards swaggering toward them. I wonder how they feel. I wonder if it makes them fear that they're going to be shot in the face for their ATM cards and their PIN numbers. Obama, do you think that there might be reasons here rather than this being inbred?"

I'll also point you to my links above describing why the term "boy" is considered racist and wait for your response.
This man who rose from humble beginnings to become the first African-American President, a Nobel Prize winner and a devoted husband and father.
Slightly more than can be said for a fat, sedentary, DJ-turned-bigoted Republican shill with a drug habit who has repeatedly failed in his relationships.
We've limousines, and marble halls and flunkies by the score,
we play the part....but say old chap, oh, isn't it a bore?

Smith retorts, "I am half your size."
Obama is a healthy adult male. And even then, he is not even half of Limbaugh's size.
RUSH IS DONE....his troops enjoy the Becky treatment much better. Beck isn't afraid to look stupid while RUSH still attempts to be a "class act" (-the CL) and you've got RUSH.
Rush better get back on Hannity to show he is a real player in this game. But it is apparent that this President has stopped the Rush in his tracks.
He'll be "relevant" until the day his Percocet-fueled heart explodes.
I believe without the microphone Rush is a big fat coward. Have anyone ever see Rush stand on the front line for a cause?
