Rush Limbaugh Proves His Racism & Sexism Yet Again!

I'll join LOL I would love nothing more than that fat mouth to lose his job. I have seen so many conservatives here saying how liberals are racist and whatnot yet, this week this is the second issue of racism in the conservative party.

Could we expect anything else from that loud mouth bigot? He is poison on the airways. I didn't hear him make such statements. Every female in the U.S. should take action and shut him down. I decided some time ago he had contaminated my radio long enough. He comes on every weekday on KMOX in St. Louis at 11 in the morning. That station, that used to be the jewel of the airways has turned to trash talk and has lost many subscribers, they even lost the rights to broadcast the St. Louis Cardinal baseball games. What a shame to undermine a once great radio station!

I've become insensitized to Rush's insane political rants. His only listeners are so far Right they might soon fall over the edge, so this is "no harm done" territory. As a caricature of the Right's political evil leaning he probably does more harm than good to his compatriots. Best just to leave him alone. Free speech is his enemy, not ours.

Hell annie he can send all us libral women a vacuum cleaner then we can clean up the mess in Washington from the Bush administration. I mean all the lies from the last 8 years has to have some kind of paper trail from the white house to the city dump

rush has always been a sexist jerk. One wonders if his country club allows women to dine alone, or even if they have any black or jewish members. GWB is/was in a club, or rather a "secret society", called "the skulls", there are no women permitted in this "club", nor blacks to my knowledge, but alas, it is a SECRET, right? Was Rush a Frat member in college? bet he was..... Rush to Sotomayer: " hello, Pot? this is the kettle, YOUR BLACK!!!"

It's funny that while criticism of Rush is going on all over the place, that I've seen nary a word over David Letterman's truly disgusting sexist "jokes" that not only insulted Sarah Palin's daughter, but also every woman in this country. Where's the uproar about that on here? Or what about a clown named Guy Cimbalo who in an article published in a well-known men's magazine, had this to say about women: From the article "So Wrong, It's Right": If you, as a woman, at any moment during your life in the midst of expressing your opinion or your feelings have been subjected to the following by any man, you understand what Cimbalo’s accomplished: “Are you on your per**d?” “When is the last time you had s*x?” “I have what you want.” “I know what you need.” Now...please compare what Rush said about Sotomayor to what Cimbalo said. Who is the true sexist here? As far as racist remarks and actions, mull over these (you can find these and more on http://members.tripod.com/~GOPcapitalist/democratrecord.html ) Hugo Black: A former Democrat Senator from Alabama and liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justice appointed by FDR, Hugo Black had a lengthy history of hate group activism. Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920's and gained his legal fame defending Klansmen under prosecution for racial murders. In one prominent case, Black provided legal representation to Klansman Edwin Stephenson for the hate-induced murder of a Catholic priest in Birmingham. Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV: Byrd is a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and is currently the only national elected official with a history in the Klan, a well known hate group. Byrd was extremely active in the Klan and rose to the rank of “Kleagle,” an official Klan membership recruiter. Byrd once stated that he joined the Klan because it was effective in "promoting traditional American values" Senator Ernest Hollings, D-SC: Hollings is liberal Democrat Senator from South Carolina who is also notorious for his use of racial slurs. He rose out of the Democrat Party's segregationist wing in the 1960's as governor of South Carolina. While in office as governor, Hollings personally led the opposition to lunch counter integration in his state. The New York Times reported on March 17, 1960 that then-governor Hollings "warned today that South Carolina would not permit 'explosive' manifestations in connection with Ne**o demands for lunch-counter services." Jesse Jackson: Jackson was the featured prime time speaker at the 2000 Democrat Convention. Jackson has a history of using anti-Semitic slurs and derogatorily calling New York City “Hy***town.” Jackson, a prominent self proclaimed "civil rights leader," is himself guilty of the same bigotry he dishonestly purports to oppose... I could put more of these in here, but if you'd like to read them, see aforementioned Web site link. Compare these to what Rush said and see who's being racist.

I think that Rush, like anyone in this US, has the right to express his opinion. The only problem I, however, have about people like Rush or the "conservatives" is that they often seem to be of the persuasion that others are not entitled to the same privileges like them. I believe the Rush Limbaughs, the Michael Savages, the David Lettermans and the Jeremiah Wrights all have the right to express their opinions based upon facts and/or their various life experiences. Please, leave these people alone!

I see a lot of how the Minority is controlling the Majority, I just wrote about that last night... Here is a link to the article I wrote.. http://communati.com/node/5309 If that link ever fails, I'll have it backed up with another link where I will republish the article in the event that the link gets redirected to an error page.

That man is such a jerk, what he said was sexist and insulting about sending them vacuum cleaners,,,and I read the whole statements he made, and Sotomayor specifically says that men haven't asked to become a member, that's why its all women but no its not discriminating because men can join,,,,oh and of course the bigmouthed fatty said "I don't blame 'em!" in response to the fact that no men have wanted to join the club...bottom line Rush is really reaching and the fact that he stoops to making such a sexist, belittling and cliche joke that insinuates that images of vacuum cleaners go hand and hand with women...if he ever sent me a vacuum cleaner, i would send it back and say "you need this more than me, so you can vacuum up the crap that spills out of your mouth everyday,...and p.s, you need to get up and move around and drop some of that weight, tubby"

Radical Right Wing Agenda Proof... Proof... Proof!!! Just change the **s to tt and learn all about it. h**p://thinkprogress.org/tag/limbaugh

"I think I'm going to send Sotomayor, and her club, a bunch of vacuum cleaners to help them clean up after their meetings." LOL That is funny! Comparing this to what Letterman said is a little desperate, Annie. No where did he say that she dresses like a slu**y flight attendant or suggest her daughter get knocked up by a baseball player on third base during the game. And while Rush's comment may sound a little sexist where are you getting the racist charge from? I swear some libs see racism around every corner!

Annie, if anyone thinks that he wasn't talking about her race, and the fact that this group is made up of mostly latino women, then they don't know Rush. Everything out of his mouth is calculated, and he says things like this to get attention, and get his name in the papers. I understand that Rush owns EBI, but if we all rise up and go after the hate radio stations that pay for his show, and explain to people that listen to him, how his hate is hurting the country, then you can do the same thing to him.

It sounds to me the only thing Rush did was say there's a double standard. Do you have something against people who clean, because you're the one who seems to be putting down those in that line of work.

we have this here too, for some reason a woman is sexist if she belongs to a woman only club but it's ok for men

Annie, I've read the entire thread. The liberals here will blindly agree with you but I have yet to see a single person, including you, explain what he said was racist. I'm not going to argue the sexism bit, that's old news and I'm pretty sure everyone already knows he's a sexist. For all the racist accusations though, I'm amazed nobody here can provide a shred of proof.

Sending Vacuum cleaners to a women's club is racist????? It's not even sexist, are you sure you are taking ALL of your prescribed Meds annie?

What did Rush say that wasn't the truth? You're not going to get Rush fired. He's too popular. Besides, we need people like Rush to help balance out the propaganda from the left.

Rush Limbaugh is supposed to look like the dumb white racist and that's why he's allowed on the air. It's part of the plan to reinforce the stereotype of white males. On the subject of Sonia Sotomayor, she was chosen based on her gender and her ethnicity, which by all means is racist. She was not chosen by her merits and this obvious, this is all very strategical and political.

I'm a bit confused. How exactly did this show is racism and sexism on Rushs part? The point of his statement was that if the situation was reversed, and this was Dan Smith, a white male Judge, who was the member of a private club that only admitted white males, he would be eliminated from having a chance. Yet here Sonia is the member of a women only club, and she is not kicked out. The point made was that the LEFT, the DEMOCRATS are the racists, sexist bigots. And... he's right!

You are correct, there have been politicians were white males, and belonged to white male only clubs. Like Ted Kennedy (D) and Robert Byrd (D). Byrd was of course part of the KKK. So once again... Rush is right.
