Limbaugh Doesn’t Hide His Racism Anymore, or His Misogyny

I couldn’t resist posting these clips by Rush Limbaugh, as another example of the big tent party’s racist, bigoted and misogynistic agenda. From the few Republicans I’ve talked to and know, they hold strong feelings related to at least one of these three hate filled issues. I guess for them, it’s a shame you can’t hit women or you’re forced by your party to support affirmative action. Here’s Media Matters analysis:

On the August 19 broadcast Rush Limbaugh said that "it is striking how unqualified [Sen. Barack] Obama is and, and how this whole thing came about with, within the Democrat Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy." Limbaugh went on to say: "I think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them.

On the August 20 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh asserted of attacks by Sen. John McCain against Sen. Barack Obama: "It's -- you know, it's just -- it's just we can't hit the girl. I don't care how far feminism's saying, you can't hit the girl, and you can't -- you can't criticize the little black man-child. You just can't do it, 'cause it's just not right, It's not fair. He's such a victim."

Limbaugh previously claimed that "nobody criticizes [Sen.] Hillary [Clinton]. ... Well, you might say, 'No, Michelle Obama and Mrs. [Elizabeth] Edwards are out there criticizing her,' but, see, I finally figured this one out, too. You can't hit the girl. You just -- you can't hit the girl."

Oh, but I'm sure he would like to. It's also quite ironic he criticizes Obama for being "such a victim," when in fact Rush is playing one himself all the time as the picked on conservative.
