Limbaugh: Justice Department Doesn't “Believe” In “Pursu[ing] Crime Committed By Blacks Against Whites.” From the August 11 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: J. Christian Adams -- the name might ring a bell. He used to work in the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, and he quit when Eric Holder decided we're not going to prosecute the New Black Panthers, 'cause we don't believe here that it's possible or that it's relevant to pursue crime committed by blacks against whites.

At any rate, that -- these pictures of the polar bears on top of, you know, three feet of ice became an iconic image of the global warming debate. But the validity of the science behind the picture presented as an ignoble testament to our environmental peril by Al Gore in his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, is now part of a federal investigation that has the environmental community on edge.

[...]

LIMBAUGH: That picture, and many others like it -- remember those pictures were thrown out there by all of these people to show that the glaciers -- the glaciers -- were melting, what was left of a glacier. And now, of course we know that this whole thing is fraudulent, and it was from the get-go. Anybody with half a brain knew it was fraudulent from the get-go, if you understand the libs.
