Rush Limbaugh Says First Lady Was Booed Partly Because NASCAR Fans Hate Her ‘Uppityism’


-snip-

On his radio show today, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh gave many reasons for why he thought they were booed.

Citing the 2008 incident where then-Sen. Obama was secretly recorded at a fundraiser describing small town Pennsylvanians in hard economic times as getting “bitter” and “cling(ing) to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,” Limbaugh said “people that go to NASCAR races are the very people her husband called bitter clingers.”

Limbaugh also said “we don’t like being told what to eat; we don’t like being told how much to exercise; we don’t like being told what we’ve got to drive; we don’t like wasting money; we don’t like our economy being bankrupted. We don’t like 14% unemployment. The question is, what the hell is there to cheer for when Miss Obama and Ms. Biden show up?”

The host then took it one step further. “I’ll tell you something else,” he said. “We don’t like paying millions of dollars for Mrs. Obama’s vacations. The NASCAR crowd doesn’t quite understand why when the husband and the wife are going to the same place, the first lady has to take her own Boeing 757 with family and kids and hangers-on four hours earlier than her husband, who will be on his 747. NASCAR people understand that’s a little bit of a waste. They understand it’s a little bit of uppity-ism.”

3. Well said...

That's exactly where that asshat's head is... when it's not up his own ugly fat ass.

Michelle has more class in her baby toe than that freak of nature has ever bought... because he has none he can call personal.

2. As usual, ass clown Limpballs gets it wrong, she was there to SUPPORT MILITARY FAMILIES

but he can continue spitting his poison, he'll end up like Jerry Falwell, on the floor dead, found by a minion, penniless before God like the rest of us, but heading to a special hell unlike the rest of us.


OH and Limballs DOESN'T SPEAK FOR ALL NASCAR FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Class envy.

She has boatload of class, he has absolutely none.

[phantom power]

5. The GOP racists want to call the Obamas "uppity n*ggers" so bad they can taste it.

Go for it, Rush. Say it out loud, and let the healing begin.

7. Sho nuff.

They prolly say it every day when they're in the right company.

[Lasher]

11. That's pretty much what Rush just did.

Loudest dog whistle I've ever seen blown. Racist bastard.

Limbaugh should be taken off the air for this slur alone.

[tblue]

6. The Obamas don't own a family compound like Kennebunkport, you clod!

Heaven forbid they take a vacation in a hotel.

Those booers and RL have no class, so if they boo you, you know you're doing something right. Pisses me off though because what in hell is there to boo those women for? I'm sure that hurt them.

8. NASCAR prefers its First Ladies medicated.

9. Just say the n-word already, fatso.

[Warren Stupidity]

10. Well that is just right out in the open. Just complete the phrase Lush.

Anyone who claims that racism is not core to the republican campaign is full of shit.
