Rush Limbaugh puts HIS Ignorance On Blast

In light of the recent tragedy in Tennessee, and the fact that the shooter had copies of right-wing books written by Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage, I felt it necessary to call the imbecile that is Rush Limbaugh out. Periodically, and when I can stomach it, I tune in to right-wing radio to try and gauge the temperament of its listeners. I could not believe my ears yesterday when I heard Rush Limbaugh interpret the New York Times article highlighting three African-American radio talk show hosts , Warren Ballentine, Tom Joyner, Michael Baisden etc., as the left’s answer to Rush Limbaugh, as reinforcing the three-fifths clause. Misinfotainer (my word) Limbaugh has concluded that the article reinforces the language of the Founding Fathers proclaiming that black folks are three-fifths of a person. Limbaugh blew on to say that because it actually takes three black radio talk show hosts to equal one Rush Limbaugh that the article validates that blacks are only three-fifths of a person. Yea…exactly. It is hate-mongering like this that encourages irrationality among the already unstable, and preys on and exploits, any scintilla of racial tension that may exist amongst us. All in the name of $400 mil. The funny thing is…..about five minutes after Limbaugh spewed his racist conjecture, a black male caller calls in and asked Limbaugh how can the Republicans reach out more to black voters????? Without even mentioning Limbaugh’s previous incendiary remarks????? How any self-respecting African-American would in any way want to be associated with this person is beyond the comprehension of this writer. I also do not understand why leaders of the Republican party pander to such a person whenever they need to shore-up support for their latest pet project. The disinformation that he spreads is harmful and absurd. Yet, his listeners call in begging him to guide them and show them the way despite the hate he spews and the complete nonsense that he sputters. And unfortunately for those of us who can actually engage in logical thinking, he has a very, very, loud microphone. What is also outlandishly offensive is his continual reference to female journalists as “info babes.” And still, female listeners continue to ring in and not call him on it. It is right-wing idiocy dissemination by Limbaugh, whose only focus is who he can most profitably exploit, who rather than contribute to the healing process is more interested in profiting from the upheaval. My question to Mr. Limbaugh is…….where is your moral compass? Never mind….we know the answer.

1. The only way it would take the three of them to equal Rush is if...

they used a scale

[zbdent]

4. three fifths of Rush Limbaugh ...

however, .0001 percent of any of the three would more than equal him in humanity ...

2. Limbaugh is beyond ignorant

He is a racist! Remember his feelings on Donovan McNabb? This further illustrate his views on black people.

3. The pompous ass reveals his IQ yet again.

WHEN will he go away?

[varun]

5. How is it 3/5?

3 blacks and 1 white makes the blacks 3/4.

Unless Rush Limpballs considers himself equal to two (which he is when it comes to weight).

7. Lol. Either that or he's not good at math.

[Uben]

6. He's a drug addict....ignore him

He's just another addict, recovering or not. He cannot be trusted, believed, or heralded. I would like to see him stripped naked (ugh!), put in stockades, and stoned by those he has persecuted. I would spit in his face if I ever was close enough to him. He is the fecal matter of society.

Back to fifth grade rush. Those numbers would mean that each black man was 1/3 of a rush limbaugh. I wonder if the dittoheads picked up on rush's idiocy.

9. He's very busy this week congratulating himself

for being in his 20th year as the leader of a large tribe on brain-dead robots that can't think for themselves.

It's like listening to a roundtable discussion at a sperm bank.
