Why hasn't anyone in the media pointed out that Rush also called OBAMA a "reverse racist"?
They play the clip over and over before asking strategists (usually) what they think of Rush's claim that SOTOMAYOR is a "reverse racist." But no-one, including the Dem. strategists, point out that Rush ALSO called OBAMA a "reverse racist." Wouldn't that be a good thing to point out to FURTHER discredit Rush? Or at LEAST the Dem. or the anchor could ask the Repub. if they agree with Rush that OBAMA is a "reverse racist." They're ALL falling down on the job. :eyes:

1. Limbaugh is so far out in the field of wackos until he's on overload.....
Everything he says is out of line and unpatriotic. But he's Rush Limbaugh so he is A-Ok with the vulture media. Now, had any Democrat said something like that about Cheney or one of their ilks, and we'd have 24/7 coverage for the next three days.

2. Exactly. And some Repubs. agree with him. I wish THOSE people would be asked
if they ALSO agree witgh him that OBAMA is a "reverse racist." If any Repub. dared disagree with Rush on the record, they'd be apologizing within 24 hours.

3. Yeah, I noticed that
Totally absurd, as usual. But I don't really get too worked up about anything Rush Limbaugh says...just about everything he says is outrageous.

6. The reason I'M worked up about this is because NOBODY is challenging him on
the comment that makes his next sentence even MORE absurd! SOMEONE needs to point out Rush's words accusing the president being a "reverse racist"! We need to have those RWers who agree with his claim that Sotomayor is racist answer the question if they ALSO agree with him that OBAMA is a racist.

5. Cause they believe it. A lot of people here call him a corportist and homophobe.
So you'll get very few who believe he's a reverse racist, I'm sure.

8. You think the Dem. strategists believe it?
We need SOME Dems. on our side on tv making the points that need to be made.
