Video: Is Rush Limbaugh's consistent reference to Obama as a 'little child' racist?
Examiner ^ | 12/22/09 | Ryan Witt(less)

Posted on 12/22/2009 4:20:13 PM PST by pissant

Rush Limbaugh has recently adopted the theme of referring to President Obama as a little child when attacking the administration's various political moves.

Today Limbaugh referred to President Obama as an "out of control little child who thinks that he is the Messiah" while criticizing the federal spending. Last week Limbaugh also referred to the President as a "little man-child" when government expansion. These are the two most recent references and Media Matters documents at least six other occasion including times when Limbaugh used the phrase "boy" in referencing an adult Obama.

Curiously these references have drawn little scrutiny from the press or Limbaugh's followers. It is possible that the media has simply grown to expect a hint of racism from Limbaugh and that they therefore view it as a "non-story." On the other hand Limbaugh is still perhaps the most influential right-wing commentator in the United States. Therefore if his statements truly do reflect a racist stereotype it seems the story should get more attention given Limbaugh's importance to the political debate.

It is insulting.

Yes, but to appreciate the show one must get past Limbaugh's
constant references to how superior he is to us all.

He only means it half of the time.

How the hell is it racist to point out that the president acts like a spoiled, petulant, child? Oh wait, any criticism of the anointed zero is racist, I forgot. Poor little baby may get his feelings hurt.

As far as I can tell Obama has gained more from racism and sexism than anyone in the history of this nation nation (if we are to assume that voting for someone specifically because of race and gender is still racist and sexist) and possibly in the history of the world. But then again who knows . . . perhaps the fine art of having an individual opinion has itself become racist and that is biasing my judgment.

No, for most of his career Obama's looked like a non-threatening fourteen year old with a big smile, like that pygmy in The Gods Must Be Crazy.

If he had been several shades darker, 50 pounds heavier, with weirder looking hair, and didn't sound like Dan Rather, he would never have gotten the nomination. In other words, if he had sounded like Jesse Jackson or looked like Al Sharpton.

No, Obama's a neophyte, and like all neophytes he's very dangerous because he thinks he knows it all.

Of course it is.

Referring to Barry as anything other than “Your highness” or “your excellence” is racist.

With regard to Obama, it is ok to be racist and impossible not to be.
