From the November 21 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

[DURHAM D]

1. And he exhibits assholery.

[abelenkpe]

2. ..

:eyes:

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Racist much Limbaugh?

[MichiganVote]

4. By growing a garden?

[Scurrilous]

5. Years ago NASCAR enlisted MTV to help update their image.

The MTV guy got the 'new' NASCAR spiel, was introduced to an African-American driver, etc etc.

Then they took the MTV reporter on a stroll through the parking lot before a race. One of the 'new' NASCAR fans looked directly into the camera and shouted 'no n****** in NASCAR!'

So much for that...

8. "It's NASCAR, not NASCOON"

20. Would love to see this video

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Class envy.

She has class, and a lot of it, they have nothing but envy.

[Blue Owl]

7. Booed by the NASCAR crowd? Fuck, that's what's called a goddamned COMPLIMENT.

n/t

[Rosco T.]

9. I got an idea.. Occupy Limbaugh?

keep his lines filled up with people with sane, rational views.. watch his head explode :)

[noiretextatique]

10. Dr. Jill Biden was also booed

i guess she's uppity too :puke:

[awoke_in_2003]

11. "uppity-ism"?...

they are not even trying to hide the racism any more. Why don't they get it over with and just say the word they are all thinking?

[ngant17]

12. everyone I met and known that were NASCAR fans

were (and still are) obnoxiously bigoted, and they never attempted to hide their prejudices.

Watching cars go round in circles for hours on end must do something detrimental to their brain function. OTOH the IMSA crowd is more enlightened, I suppose. So it's not just watching the track.

[applegrove]

13. A racist word used as a dog whistle for the morons who listen to him.

Michelle is still one of the most popular people in Washington I am sure.

[Orangepeel]

17. "uppity" is more of a bullhorn than a dog whistle

You are right about her popularity.

From October 31: According to the Marist Poll released Monday, 63 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of Michelle Obama while 21 percent hold an unfavorable view of her. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/190757-michelle-obama-approval-remains-high-but-down-slightly-from-previous-months

[AlinPA]

14. The republicans love it. He is their spokesman.

[certainot]

15. does your university endorse limbaugh racism, misogyny , & global warming denial with their sports?

many universities endorse limbaugh racism, misogyny, global warming denial, OWS attacks by broadcasting their sports on those stations, which gives them credibility, community standing, and brings in ad money.

15 of 16 unis in the NCAA 2010 basketball finals endorse limbaugh by broadcasting on his stations.

they need to extract themselves from those associations or demand balanced programming and their mission statements require it.

students, faculty and communities need to get their unis out of right wing talk radio. the right wing radio monopoly that does the groundwork repetition for the 1% cannot stand university divestment.

[certainot]

16. he calls her moochelle, called pre teen chelsea clinton a dog

[Zoeisright]

18. I hate that evil fascist, racist pig.

If there was any karma in the world, that fat fuck would be living under a bridge.

[Vestigial_Sister]

19. and he exhibits dipshitty-ism

[Mopar151]

21. Thank you to all the NASCAR bashers.

I'll be back - gotta find my broad brush......

[jefferson_dem]

22. Instead, you should lambaste the despicable "redneck" NASCAR fans who did such a fine job of

reinforcing the stereotype by booing the First Lady and Dr. Biden.

[Mopar151]

31. Same all over

Jerks, boo birds, and shitheels everywhere. Throw in cheap beer and loud outdoor entertainment, and the percentage goes up. Not to mention, the First Ladies part came shortly after driver introductions, when the boo birds are cranked up from jeering their "favorites".

[lunatica]

23. Rush's racism makes his ass look big

[Proud Liberal Dem]

24. Where does he get that 14% unemployment figure?

Oh yeah, right. Where he gets everything else. :eyes:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

25. and the media won't ask Republicans to denounce him

they'll continue to flock to his show to kiss his ring and court the wingnut base, and face no p.r. consequences with the general electorate for doing so.

[Botany]

26. From the Urban Dictionary

uppity nigger

An out of place black person who is out of line and thinks they are as good as or better than the
white person they are standing next to.

Rush knows his listeners are racist and plays to that feeling.

[Beacool]

27. Limbaugh says things like that on purpose.

He is not that stupid. He knows that incendiary comments drive the media crazy and get a laugh out of his listeners.

I don't know how anyone suffers through 3 hours of his show. His style is arrogant and bombastic. Aside from his politics, I find his personality annoying.

As for the booing, it was very mixed. I think that there were more cheers going on than boos.

:(

[stevenleser]

28. I keep wondering when someone is going to snap a picture of Limbaugh leaving "a meeting" and taking

his white sheet off

[WI_DEM]

29. No she was booed because she is a black woman who happens to be first lady

and some of those 'good old boy' nascar fans are a bunch of racists.

[Odin2005]

30. Doesn't suprise me. Only idiots and boors could find NASCAR interesting.

[center rising]

32. The guy shows his utter stupidity on a daily basis

[Skittles]

33. OMG AN UPPITY BLACK WOMAN

:rofl:

[and-justice-for-all]

34. Jabba the Limpbaugh is the biggest POS on Earth!!!

there were more cheers than boos.
