This should endear Rush to N.Carolinans ("Black Panther Stadium")

( . . . not!)

RT @mmfa: Rush Limbaugh: #DNC2012 venue change for Obama's speech means he can't fill "Black Panther stadium"
http://bit.ly/TXBpWD


from Media Matters:

Rush Limbaugh race-baited President Obama and the Democratic National Convention, insinuating a close connection between them and the New Black Panther Party.

Earlier this week, Democrats announced that they would refer to the stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the Democratic National Convention will be held as "Panthers Stadium," ostensibly after the NFL's Carolina Panthers.

On his radio show today, while discussing the convention, Limbaugh proposed that instead of calling the stadium "Panthers Stadium," people call it "New Black Panthers Stadium," a reference to the New Black Panther Party. The NBPP has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

LIMBAUGH: It's going to be called New Black Panthers Stadium that night. Uh, Panthers Stadium. Did I say New Black? You know what? That's not a bad idea. Call it New Black Panthers Stadium. They call it Panthers Stadium because the Carolina Panthers play there.

. . . Limbaugh is an example of unchecked bigotry. His freedom to broadcast emboldens millions of like-minded followers.

The best episode of this guy's show will be the one where he clutches his chest and keels over on air.

It's pretty pathetic that the racists continue this meme... Like 3 guys in Florida looking for the killer Zimmerman (at least that what they said on camera) And those 2 guys outside the projects in PA are scaring all the white people from voting. Thats all I know about, and they were probably on the pugs payroll anyway!!! What a bunch of assholes these pugs are!!! I pray to God (all of them?) that our President serves 4 MORE YEARS!!! America will not be darkened for a 1000 years or whatever Chuckie Norris said if they win but it could get really weird if these clowns somehow manage to steal the election.
