Quick, I need a Rush Limbaugh quote...

[muchacho]

..to prove he's hateful. Not misguided or stupid, but hateful.

Thanks.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

1. He called Chelsea (age 13) the "White House dog".

Google it.

2. And as Letterman chided him later:

"And you can say that...because you ARE such a fine-looking specimen yourself."

5. I remember!

He kept going on and on about how unattractive she was. I thought that was outrageously mean spirited given that she was just a kid.

3. Some

Rush Limbaugh once argued with an on-air caller who said the African-American community must be heard: "Why does it have to be heard? They are 12 percent of the population—who the hell cares?" He has also asked, regarding reproductive freedom: "What if a man claimed the right to rape, using the same principle found in the theory that it is his body and he has the right to choose?" "Dr." Laura's references to gays as "biological errors" and her hypocritical attacks against working and single mothers are notorious.

4. He once told an African-American caller...

...something to the effect of, "Call back when you get the bone out of your nose." :puke:

6. Want to see his hypocrisy on the subject of drug use?

These quotes are priceless:

Oh, and here's some more of his "fair and balanced" type of speech: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out."

In a similar vein, here is Limbaugh's mocking take on the NAACP, a group with a ninety-year commitment to nonviolence: "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up" theme song from TV's "Jeffersons" when he mentioned her. Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect -- substituting "ax" for "ask"-- when discussing black leaders.

In 1994, Limbaugh mocked St. Louis for building a rail line to East St. Louis "where nobody goes." East St. Louis is home to roughly 40,000 residents -- 98 percent of whom are African-Americans. One of its 40,000 "nobodies" is star NFL linebacker Bryan Cox.

Once, in response to a caller arguing that black people need to be heard, Limbaugh responded: "They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

7. Here are a few more...

"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."
-- Rush Limbaugh

"I don't give a hoot that gave some Indians a
disease that they didn't have immunity against" (Ought to Be, p. 45).

If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people--
I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely
no knowledge whatsoever to do--let the stupid and
unskilled Mexicans do that work."

If the owl can't adapt to the superiority of humans, screw it"
(Ought to Be, p. 162).

I think the Mexican one is especially over the top. Can we use the word A**hole in this forum?

9. To answer your question, yes.

10. He's not just an asshole,

he's a pustulent, oozing, cyst-festooned asshole!

(I mean Rush, of course, not the previous poster!)

[Blue-Jay]

11. To quote Harlan Ellison:

Limbaugh is a "pustulent sack of monkey nuts"

It's OK if you were talking about me, geniph. I've been called worse! ;)
