Limbaugh slams Sotomayor: 'Reverse racist'
Posted: 05:29 AM ET

Limbaugh is going after Sonia Sotomayor.

(CNN) — While Republicans on Capitol Hill appear to be adopting a wait-and-see approach with Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is taking direct aim at President Obama's choice for the high court.

Calling Sotomayor a "racist" and a "hack" on his radio show Tuesday, Limbaugh took particular issue with a 2001 speech at Berkeley during which she stated a "wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

"Here you have a racist – you might want to soften that, and you might want to say a reverse racist," Limbaugh said of that comment.

"And the of course say that minorities cannot be racists because they don't have the power to implement their racism," he continued. "Well, those days are gone because reverse racists certainly do have the power to implement their power. Obama is the greatest living example of a reverse racist, and now he's appointed one."

"She's not the brain that they're portraying her to be. She's not a constitutional jurist," Limbaugh also said, referencing a New Republic article last month in which Jeffrey Rosen, the magazines legal affairs editor, wrote that "her opinions, although competent, are viewed by former prosecutors as not especially clean or tight, and sometimes miss the forest for the trees."

"She is an affirmative action case extraordinaire, and she has put down white men in favor of Latina women," Limbaugh said.

1. This rightwing tactic is becoming cliché

How many times have these hateful clowns pulled out the old
"accuse your opponent of your own short-coming".
That Rovian shit is so last president.
Rush, it is evident for all to see that YOU are the racist
and you are a poor liar as well.

[Political Tiger]

2. If Limpballs wants to see a racist

all he has to do is look in the mirror.

[TheCoxwain]

7. Imagine what he will see if he looks into his own soul ......

[PretzelWarrior]

3. This man's continued living is an affront to all of us.

His continued speaking is nothing but hate-filled emptiness. He is trying to whip the lowly troops who want so badly to see something in what Obama is doing that is inherently evil and wrong. But they can't. ALl they have is their rage that their side's ideals were repudiated.

So they follow in the footsteps of the most horrible person to hit the airwaves and besmirch the work and life of a great woman.

DEATH TO RUSH LIMBAUGH!! Get your prayer chains ready. We're gonna send Limbaugh to Jee-SUS!

14. But what if Jesus sends him back?

I don't think they really want Mush up there? Hell, I doubt even Satan would take him. :evilfrown:

[blueclown]

4. *Sigh*

Limbaugh is an unsufferable boar, why does the corporate media feel the need to cover everything he says? He just gets the attention he's desperately seeking.

[Lerkfish]

5. why don't we waterboard Rush and shut him up?

because it would take all of lake michigan, and then he'd still be talking out of his asshole.

[NYC_SKP]

6. "Obama is the greatest living example of a reverse racist"

Keep 'em coming, Rush.

The louder you scream it, the more people realize what you are.

[Canuckistanian]

8. PROJECTION

"A defense mechanism where a person's personal attributes, unacceptable or unwanted thoughts, and/or emotions are ascribed onto another person or people."

10. BINGO!

Exactly what I thought when I heard him say it. Rush is so stupid though, he doesn't realize it. He's one messed up sicko.

[Brewman_Jax]

9. Cry me a river, Limpballs

Oh, what about your response to one of your callers, to whom you said, "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."
Lying racist hypocrite. :nopity:

[surrealAmerican]

11. Hmmm, a "racist and a hack"?

Projection much, Rush?

[SeattleGirl]

12. Poor little pig boy. So afraid his tighty whitey rights will be taken away.

Cry me a river, Rush.

[depakid]
