Keep Limbaugh's racism in mind when McCain and VP pick inevitably go on his show
They're going to do it.

The usual GOP October ritual of kissing OxyRush's ass to solidify the wingnut base.

Yesterday, when discussing whether Obama was in St. Louis or Kansas City, the thrice-divorced GOP "family values" commentator had this to say:

"The good news about all this, folks, is that Obama was broadcasting from a stranger's house and not a relative's hut. (laughing) I mean, you have to find the positives in all of this. It's not looking good."

and here was Viagra Boy cheering on the Bradley effect:

"Dare I say it, the Wilder Effect, dare I say it, the Bradley Effect? Psst -- listen to me. If he's not up ten, 15 points a week before the election, they're toast."

And let's not forget his refeering to Obama as a "Halfrican." Or his regular bits like playing a song called "Barack, The Magic Negro," done by a comedian trying to do an Al Sharpton impression. Rush hides behind the fact that the title comes from an LA Times column, but, let's be clear, Rush was just looking for a green light to use that kind of attack.

When McCain or Romney or whoever he picks to fill out his lame ticket goes on Rush's show, it's an endorsement of this kind of bigotry and we should be ready to call them on it.

1. None of Comedian's listeners are going to vote for Obama
anyway. All it does is reverberate in the Reich Wing echo chamber.

2. Rush Limbaugh and his co-host, Hate, will be wearing GOP attire: white robes and cone hats.
One of the biggest lies in America is that the GOP isn't racist. Like Heck! If you removed racism from the GOP, there wouldn't be anything left.

3. What is your point
Are you telling people here not to be swayed by Limbaugh? Thanks for the warning, I'll be real careful.

4. My point
is that McCain needs to be called on it and linked to it when his campaign cozies up to him, as we know it will.

He shouldn't get a "Maverick independent" pass on it.

5. I think that we can blame the Arkansas Dem Chairman's and the
churchgoers' (Unitarian) deaths on Rush and O'Reilly and their despicable ilk.
