Limbaugh makes error about Brown's race
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Brown is black in the eyes of Rush Limbaugh. When Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett was forced out of the Democratic primary in the U.S. Senate race in Ohio, the conservative commentator criticized The New York Times for not saying that the Democrats' preferred candidate is black.
Limbaugh later found out from e-mails to his nationally syndicated radio show that the candidate, Rep. Sherrod Brown, is, in fact, white.
"Uh, Sherrod Brown's a white guy? Then I'm confusing him with somebody. OK, I'm sorry," Limbaugh said this week.
Brown is a seven-term congressman and former Ohio secretary of state who is running against GOP Sen. Mike DeWine.
"Rush Limbaugh obviously knows as much about me as the Republicans know about balancing the budget," Brown told the Chronicle-Telegram of Elyria, Ohio, for an article published Friday.
Later in his show, Limbaugh said he kept getting e-mails. "We have corrected this, and I, you know, I'm not gonna apologize because I don't think it's an insult to be black," he said.
In 2003, Limbaugh was pushed off ESPN's NFL preview show after he said quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.
MSM running interference for Dem establishment.
It's so rare that Rush is wrong, it's news when he is.
At least he'll apologize when he finds himself in error, which is more than what can be said about Democrats!
So can we assume that every single time a D or R makes a mistake, they're going to write an article about it?
AND he admitted it and corrected his error right away, YET this is news?
ROTFLMAO!
Hey AP, how is this news?
Have you ever seen such childish, unmittigated GLEE? They've practically gone orgasmic!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!
Rush makes an error retracts his error and it's newsworthy.
The big story here is how Brown and Sen. Harry Reid had Paul Hackett blackmailed out of the race with pictures of "War Crimes" Hackett was in.
Must have come from the 2 percent of his brain not tied behind his back.
Just wow.
Note the obvious insinuation that he's a racist with the last line in the "report"... Pathetic.
Must be a slow news day for the AP?
On a Fox News show this week (maybe Fox & Friends) they kept on to referring to Sherrod as "she". Finally a Producer put a pic of him and they all laughed about it.
So let's just go with Sherrod Brown is an African American female.
The AP finds the speck in Rush's eye but ignores the log in theirs.
Sherrod is a star-bellied Sneech. No star? What difference does it make?
OK, so if I get this right, the Dems shunted aside an Iraq war vet, not for a black guy but for an old, white machine politician. And Rush is the one who is supposed to be embarassed?
It isn't even remotely worthy of a national news story.
Apparently AP feels this is a big deal.That's what i call hard-up for news.
And yet, Bryant Gum Ball gets to get his knock in with a major media outlet and not a word is said.
The bias is so obvious that it is sickening....
