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.
"Is the AP hiring Democrat stafferes now as reporters?"
Rush is right 95% of the time. When he is wrong, he admits the error right away as soon as he finds out he was wrong.
I guess AP figures they can't get Bush--even though they have tried with all they had, so they may as well bash Rush.
These people are panic stricken slimeballs!!!
Not surprising from a party that assumes that Lynn Swann is white.
In related news, it has been discovered that there is actually a white guy named Sherrod.
Unlike Howard Dean and Al Franken who are right much less and never admit error.
LOL! Have the libs already objected to this statement?
Herr Brown is the SOCIALIST on the left.
I'm hoping the enhanced head was intentional...if not, that's the biggest noggin I've eve seen:)
The gAyP...
they dont care about whether he was wrong, they're just trying to paint him as a racist (again).
You don't expect them to publich the Momo cartoons, or investigate Iran's nukes, Hamas's victory, Gore's sedition in Saudi Arabia, or the booming economy? No sir.
Thank god for the MSM. We get Cheney-gate 24-7 and amped up coverage of a rare and quickly corrected Rush mistatement. They are a living parody.
He mentioned this on his show and said if he was wrong, well, he'd apol...., correct the error.
Within two minutes, Rush corrected his error.
BTW, Steve Ducey said Brown is a woman. LOL.
Let's see, how many errors has the AP had in the last month in it's stories..?
Rush did this on Wednesday or Thursday. Why did it take AP so long to let me know about it?
