Limbaugh: Media Giving Michelle Obama Vacation Pass Because Of 'Slave Past'
Limbaugh: Media Giving Michelle Obama Vacation Pass Because Of 'Slave Past'

Rush Limbaugh said Friday that the media is allowing Michelle Obama to take a vacation as a form of reparations for "our slave past."

In discussing the lack of media outrage over the First Lady's trip to Spain — which isn't exactly true, as documented here — Limbaugh said that it stems from her race.

"As far as the media's concerned, Mrs. Obama deserves this," he said. "Look at the sordid past. Look at our slave past, look at the discriminatory past. It's only fair that people of color get their taste of the wealth of America too."

Limbaugh compared the First Lady's vacation to Nancy Reagan changing the china in the White House.

2. "Allowing" her to take a vacation?
As opposed to clearing brush all August? Wait, that was George. His wife stayed in the air conditioning. Did we ever see pictures of that house inside?

4. I caught his bit on Michelle at the carwash today
he's spewing that she's taken 40 friends with her and her daughter, that they are closing a beach there for her, and that the taxpayer is footing the bill. People believe him. he's truly a bad guy. he's telling them he's reading from the UK papers, and that Drudge has it all.

10. If you want to make Rush smile, don't vote Dem in November.
On the other hand, if you think that this "slave past" comment is about as filthy a racist comment as you've seen in a while, you can do something about it. Vote Dem in November. Turn out to vote. Make Limbaugh a loser, not a winner.

15. Also, it's not Michelle's fault the Republicans caused this recession.
We should always remind people that the Republicans caused the recession. Any complaint they have that is related to the recession in any way should be met with "Why did you cause the recession then and why are you deliberately slowing down the recovery?"
