Rush Limbaugh: "Planned Parenthood is all about ... the ELIMINATION OF BLACK FAMILIES"

Could a shock jock who routinely plays "Barack the Magic Negro" on his talk show, and who once told a black caller to "take that bone out of your nose" have anything worthwhile to contribute about race? Not likely.

Rush Limbaugh (December 3, 2012):

"Planned Parenthood is all about family planning.
Yeah, but not the kind you're thinking about.
It's called the elimination of black families."

Limbaugh's racial pronouncements are calculated and blatantly political. Liberals and progressives tend to support Margaret Sanger and her ideas about women's rights and birth control. Thus, Rush has declared, "Margaret Sanger wanted to rid the world of black people. It's called Planned Parenthood today, and they're still trying to do it."

Rush Limbaugh: a racist attributing not just racism, but a willingness to commit genocide to his political foes. His goal is driving a wedge between Dems and one of their most loyal constituencies. Of course Limbaugh's racism alienates many who might otherwise give credence to his preposterous claims. But such false ideas find fertile ground among right wing hatemongers.

1. If true Rush-boy, would support it.

He is really hard up!

2. Has Rush Limbaugh finally snapped and become Eric Cartman now?

[DollarBillHines]

10. Off-topic, but...

The guy who takes care of our pool brought his eight-year-old son with him a few weeks back.

The kid's name is Cartman.

I am not kidding.

3. that's pretty much right wing boilerplate... i first heard it in 08

promulgated by the christian right...CBN

[jberryhill]

4. It goes waaay back

What's interesting is that they don't seem to notice their failure to gain any traction with it.

[oldhippydude]

6. i suspect.. the right wing guy was not that smart..(they never are)

he accused planned parenthood of genocide... i mentioned that PP worked with low income minorities.. so yes they helped promote birth control among the population they served... minorities included..

when confronted with actual statistics on abortions he shut up.. when i asked his source he cited CBN

[Downwinder]

5. Is this Rush's way to appeal to a wider audience?

Good Luck with that.

7. Margaret Sanger is a true American hero

It was illegal to discuss birth control at one time, and she went to jail for it more than once, I believe.
That fat bastard has no right to even speak her name. Fascist pig.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

9. She also has feet of clay...

[libodem]

11. I'm not sure what that means exactly

She spoke out, started clinics, and educated many women about not spending their entire reproductive years pregnant.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

8. He is not alone in preaching that

Norplant was demonized in the black community by its own members. There is a shockumentary...Maafa21, and lots of other dreck. However it clearly has some traction within the community

[DaniDubois]

12. He's the scum of scum.
