Limbaugh sides with George Will and calls Obama ‘an affirmative action hire

Reacting to a Washington Post op-ed published Tuesday by conservative columnist George Will, Republican shock jock Rush Limbaugh told his listeners that he just might have a point about “Obama being an affirmative action hire.”

Will’s column sparked a torrent of controversy because he suggested that Americans “seem especially reluctant to give up on the first African American president,” implying that Obama’s seeming political success is due to his race.

“He might have a point,” Limbaugh said on his Tuesday show. “There might be some people with some guilt. ‘We gotta give the guy a second chance!’… I still found it an interesting thing to consider.”

Now you can't hide the fact that you're playing in the same racist field, in the same game, at the same time as Limbaugh. You must be so proud. The bread to his cheese and mayo.

or Lynn Swan, or ....

And why didn't blacks vote for those guys?

George Will has exposed himself as a racist prick. We already knew Limbaugh is.

That isn't affirmative action, that's democracy.

People aren't afraid to "give up on him" because he's African American. People are afraid to make Mitt Romney president because he's a horrible candidate.

I'm quite happy with Obama and want him to stay there to finish the job he started, hopefully with a more cooperative congress.
