      Would this be the highly selective American history taught at Beck U?

      C'mon Rush, say what you REALLY mean. He is an angry black man. You know you wanna just scream it out. Go for it. Drop the N word while you are at it.

        Drop the N word while you are at it.
        And when you're called on using the "N" word, say it was satire or you were taken out of context......

        Perhaps Rush thinks having an education = having a chip on one's shoulder. After all, facts have a well-known liberal bias.

      If only he had dropped out of college like Rush, refused to consider any alternative viewpoints or even so much as pay attention to facts, then the nation would be better off and still in the 1950s where it belongs (at least according to Rush and Tea Party morons).

        Actually, I think that Rush would prefer the late 19th century. The age of the Robber Barons.
        (PS -- It's already upon us.)

          I know. I never thought I'd be more depressed than I was when Bush won re-election in November 2004, but I am. I can't believe people are so stupid as to do the bidding of rich people -- against their own interest.

      I've never seen Obama EVER look like an angry guy with a chip on his shoulder . . . I'm also pretty sure that Obama has a much better grasp of American history than Rush the College Flunking Dropout.

        Barack Obama is a far greater human being that El Blimpo could even HOPE to be.

        Limbaugh is a waste of oxygen.

      Self project much Rush. You described yourself to the tee. Get a reality check. You hate that there are others that deserve fair treatment. You feel this will make you no longer special. The problem is you are not special and should never have been treated a such.

      Is Rush on rerun or playing old tapes when he's tired or bored? 'cause this is an old, familiar Limbaugh song, with old verses and refrains.

          He claims he was in Hawaii. It would be interesting if MMFA could get their hands on all the passenger lists for all the flights to and from Hawaii during Limbaugh's time off to see if he's listed on any of them.

          And then to do the same thing for the Dominican Republic......

            I wouldn't be surprised if he's given up the D.R. since his run-in with immigration/customs and illegal Viagra. I think that his beard's family lives in Hawaii. It might be more interesting to investigate the prevalence of child prostitution in Hawaii?

      I would be angry also when I finally come to the realization that the GOP leadership absolutely refuses to do the work they were sent to Washington to mdo. these 190K a year slacvkers have done nothing to elevate governance to an hororable endeavor. they are lucky to have a job

      you mean the history that black people were once slaves and you the master rush? that history?

      we know this is yourr code for telling black people to shut up and be grateful that there is no more slavery, and that white people have done more than enough and should be allowed to be racist bigots and perpetuate jim crow and discrimination.

      rush just come out and admit what you are and what you mean.

      When has President Obama ever seemed angry? He's a pretty mellow guy from what I've seen. Rush, Sean, Beck,et al on the other hand are always shouting and gnashing their teeth.

      American history? What college did Limbaugh graduate from? Why should Obama have a chip on his shoulder he has benefited from everything America has had to offer. He,the president , is a living embodiment of the American Dream ,living proof of the so-called greatness of America and how individuals despite hardship can achieve.

      Look at how they mock his story as if admitting this dream is fake and thus mocking everything they say they stand for. Fair play,sacrifice,honesty,integrity,hard work,Chevy's and apple pie. They even make fun of his wife and kids while D. Vitter struts around the halls of congress telling us about family values.

      Obama doesn't understand American history says the barely high school graduate who gets paid millions to enlighten us with such pearls of wisdom obviously gained from his deep studies of the subject during his oxycotin trips giving new meaning to "capsulating' history. lol.

      . . .wait a minute, he is paraphrasing Beck's original line on Obama being a racist. They must have had a writers meeting and decided to share some material to suggest they have mutual insights.

      People like Limpy have always been underestimating our intelligence and accomplishments. He thinks that by railing against the president on his program, it will demoralize him, but there's something he doesn't know. When he rants, Obama doubles down and works even harder. This is one reason President Obama works as hard as he does. He's spent his life being told that the color of his skin makes him less ____ (any/different words can be used) than someone like Limpy who isn't qualified to shine his shoes. The criticism just makes the president more and more determined to succeed. It's obvious to me that Limpy knows little/nothing about intelligent, upwardly mobile, determined, highly educated, focused people of color. H3ll, Limpy knows little/nothing about any subject.
