      If Rush weren't racist he'd be a child molester in Missouri.

      He would probably be an attorney somewhere before he would be a tour guide.

        Yeah, Obama pulled himself by his own bootstraps, the way Repubs say you're supposed to.
        Rush, on the other hand, is a college drop-out who wouldn't even be on the radio if his well-off Daddy hadn't pulled a few strings.

          They like that bootstrap idea as long as it only applies to white people. Blacks should just know their place. Limpy and his ilk are racist swine, pure and simple.

        What Rush is saying is that Obama has everything he does including his education because he is black. I find this to be false Obama did not need affirmative action to get his education. Rush knows nothing but hate. I heard less than 2 minutes of his show this morning and he was saying that everyone calling for Steel to step down needs to be calling for a GOP filibuster of Kagan.

            A slight correction. Fridays are "Open Line Fridays" where Rush's carefully screened callers get to pick the topics--and then listen to Rush serve up his daily platter of hate and racism.

              You are right. How could I forget the day when the idiots get to call into their deranged leader. The crap that Limpy spews is no better than the propaganda that comes out of the North Korea, it is just a different brand of delusion.

      Really? Magna Cum Laude from Harvard law, President of Harvard Law Review, successful civil rights lawyer for 11 years, taught constitutional law at U of Chicago for 12 years, author of two respected books, state senator, President of the U.S.

      Only successful because he's black?

      Rush believes he is successful because he happens to live in a country full of morons who can't tell the difference between an accomplished person and a stupid blowhard. He wouldn't know genuine accomplishment if it bit him in the butt.

        Rush is envious of anyone with a college education. His father told him that he would never amount to anything because he flunked out of college after three semesters. Rush has spent the rest of his life trying to prove his daddy wrong. He hasn't proven it, yet. Money does not denote success, just wealth. Rush could become a trillionaire and he would still be unsuccessful in life.

        I just feel sorry for all of his blind followers who believe his crap. Rush doesn't even believe it. He says it so that the haters [who wrongly believe that the hatred makes them "conservatives"] will keep supporting him. He's laughing at them.

          Why do many conservatives espouse the doctrine of hard work only to downplay the same when its achieved on a university campus?

          I have no idea what Limbaugh's grades were, but when I was taking my Masters-level work in English the lowest grade I ever scored was a "B." Not because I was a genius, but because I worked my butt off to earn high marks. But according to the likes of Rush & Pals, that achieve (much less my degree) mean bupkis to which I would reply "You do it."

            According to Rush's mother, he flunked every single course he took in the three years he was in college, even ballroom dancing. It's been reported that his father told him that, without a degree, he'd never be successful. He's got a ton of money, but he's not successful.

              I agree. Success without dignity is not success at all.

          Don't pity his acolytes. They're mirror images of this buffoon and share his beliefs lock, stock and barrel. All of them should be sent to re-education camps -- of course we'd have to tell them it's a monster truck rally or tractor pull to fool them into coming.

      With Rush's strict adherence to honesty and truth, if he were a tour guide in Honolulu, he'd be pointing out the Washington Monument, Grand Canyon, and the Eiffel Tower and would tell the tourists that it is not really sunny and hot.

      I wonder how many Republicans actually thought Limbaugh's comment was a good one and not completely repulsive? I'm guessing 90% found nothing racist about it.
