And why is he squealing?

Because John McCain and Sarah Palin are losing ground in a contest that they thought was theirs.

And they are losing it to a black man.

Of course, Limbaugh won't say that. Instead, on Thursday he spent his time berating me for saying Palin needs to apologize for inciting crowds that hurled racial epithets at black members of the press.

I'm a "wuss, wimp columnist," Limbaugh says.

So why would a multimillion-dollar squealer use his air time on a "wuss and a wimp?"

The reason Limbaugh is squealing like the pig he is, is because he's the epitome of white privilege. Feeds off angry crowds

He can't wrap his small mind around the fact that Barack Obama is kicking McCain's butt in the polls.

To make matters worse, how dare a black woman ask a white woman who is on the GOP ticket to apologize for the inappropriate behavior of her supporters?

But my position is really a no-brainer.

Whenever a crowd gets whipped up to the point that they turn ugly and start hurling racist insults, it is common sense that the candidate moves to rein it in.

But McCain is so desperate to win, he's feeding off of those angry crowds.

Come on.

The squealer was among the first to demand that Barack Obama (Barack, Rush, not Barry) denounce his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, for comments deemed offensive to white people.

I repeat. Had Obama fans acted a fool the way McCain fans did, every pundit -- with the squealer leading the way -- would have demanded he offer some kind of apology. Listen to my response on radio

I'm the "racist nutball," but the squealer is the one who has made a fortune ridiculing black people at every opportunity.

I confess.

I don't listen to Limbaugh. Another journalist called me and told me he was on the radio tearing me limb from limb.

One good turn deserves another, Mr. Limbaugh, so please have your people in Chicago tune in to V-103 on Sunday between 6 and 8 a.m., and I'll return the favor.

But just in case you don't recall who Limbaugh is, he's the fat guy who got hooked on painkillers and had to go to rehab -- sort of like my girl, Amy Winehouse.

As I noted in a column I wrote in 2003 (the real source of the squeals I'm now hearing, since Limbaugh didn't address a single issue I raised in the column he attacked), despite Limbaugh's drug addiction, he was still allowed to return to his popular radio show.

That, my friends, is white privilege.

Limbaugh likes to rant about the "liberal media." What does he call me, a "drive-by journalist?"

Well, maybe I should have driven by his studio in 2003 when he was using his hired help like a common drug mule, and broken that story.

Like most people who get drunk on white privilege, Limbaugh likes to project his bigotry on others.

So now I'm the racist, and he wants me to lose my job. Well, stand in line.

There are people ahead of you who can't stomach the idea that I can say Sarah Palin makes me sick.

She does.

The potential elevation of Palin into the second-highest position in the country shows that we have finally sunk as low as we can go. Bully tactics won't work

While conservatives like the squealer can't get enough of ridiculing black youth for honoring bling bling over intellect, what did they think McCain was doing when he tapped Palin for VP?

It didn't matter that she is probably the most inarticulate politician ever to step up to the microphone. She had the right amount of quirkiness and naughtiness to draw in the "American Idol" and reality TV crowd.

I get it.

But I have a voice, too. And all of Limbaugh's bluster and all the calls of his rabid followers won't be enough to silence me when bigoted bullies are running amuck.

Besides, I'm not running for VP. Limbaugh's sorry-ass Palin is.

If Limbaugh wants to spend his time trying to bully me, as they say in my neighborhood, bring it.

My thoughts exactly. But why are the pollsters doing this? Is this what they always do? Are they really expecting the massive voter fraud to be successful? Are they trying to incite riots the day after the election, a la Carville?

[CanadianMusherinMI]

maybe she should take a good, hard look at obama, who has NO idea what it means to be black. the man grew up in “white privilege” private school as a child, ivy league college. lives in a mansion, hobnobs with the rich and powerful (and crooked). dont any one look at his record? he has systematically sided with slum lords and the wealthy instead of the poor and under privileged. aint buying her BS. this creep had/has more “privilege” than any white person i know. screaming racism just may be the undoing of nobama. dont know any one that is “buying” what they are selling.

[EarlyBird]

Great minds think alike, LOL.

Mary, sweetie, you don’t want to go down that road. You really don’t. For one thing, your side doesn’t have time to get through all the apologies they’d need to make. Frankly, pretty much everything your side (I mean the Democrats and the media...but I repeat myself) have done in the last month and a half qualifies, but I think the Obama campaign’s latest and greatest unofficial slogan pretty much represents the chocolate sauce on the urinal cake:

“Sarah Palin Is A C....”

And no, that last word is not “Cracker”.

[relictele]

When in doubt, slip into thug slang.

Rush played her like a violin.

[dforest]

Yep, so far it seems to be the only thing that makes sense.

Thats why they don’t want Odinga mentioned.

Odinga’s campaign used the hopey changy thing too.

Unfreakin’ real.

[TankerKC]

Because John McCain and Sarah Palin are losing ground in a contest that they thought was theirs.

In what universe?

And they are losing it to a black man.

I'm done reading.

[listenhillary]

So now I'm the racist,

Nice of you to admit it. If Obama crashes and burns in the election, I'll enjoy the schadenfreude and gloat in this woman's face.

[N. Theknow]

This poor excuse for a journalist is an Affirmative Action Two-Fer.

Black Female.

Mr. Limbaugh, so please have your people in Chicago tune in to V-103 on Sunday between 6 and 8 a.m., and I'll return the favor.

Wow! What an audience Mary Mitchell must have. Six-to-eight AM Sundays????? That time is usually reserved for colon-cleanse and HGH infomercials!

[bitterohiogunclinger]

Rush is certainly no McCain fan. Many of us actually despise McCain's “reaching across the aisle”. Having said that, I'll support him 100% to get him elected in order to keep the Communist onslaught in check. Also, what Rush was trying to point out was the fallacy of Bill Kristal's assertion that McCain needs to fire his campaign and start over in a “more centrist” tone. Rush was rightly pointing out that would be a loser position. The only time in this race that McCain enjoyed a lead was when Sarah Palin fired up the conservatives. If McCain follows Kristal's advice, he might as well pack up and head home. There is no defensible “centrist” position. There is Obama, on the one hand, pandering to blacks and liberals, who know he's going to “stick it to whitey” and they can have all their free stuff. And there is the conservative position that believes that work, risk taking, and personal responsibility are key to success, and despises the wealth redistribution schemes of socialists. Frankly, I think if Obama wins we should all quit our jobs, refuse to pay taxes, and demand our share of the welfare check.

“loosing to a black man”........when ever character becomes an issue, the race baiters response is always color.

[avacado]

I am not sure why they are doing this. They matched Dems/Reps fairly evenly in 2004. See my post #60 at this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2104826/posts?page=60#60

[windsorknot]

Of course, Limbaugh won't say that.

He won't say that because you made it up, Mary.

[buggy02]

She had to bring up the race card again.

What comments

[DoughtyOne]

The really sad thing... this is the man that will represent Blacks.  That's a shame really.  I would have liked
to see a good Black man that would have been an inspiration for good, inspiring Black youth to respect our
nation and work hard so they could realize their dreams.  Instead they have Obama, a deeply flawed man who
will in time be recognized as first affirmative action President.

We've reached 77% of the goal for this FReepathon.  That's great.  We could probably finish off in the next few days.  If you
would like to help put the campaign over the top, please click below to donate to the FReepathon, or the FReepathon Challenge.
The funds all go to the same place, but the FReepathon Challenge allows for the chance to obtain matching funds from those

She had to bring up the race card again.

Obama used it against Hillary

In a way it was poetic justice -Clintons pandered to the blacks for 8 years and never complained when the Race Card was used against the GOP by the NAACP and the MSM

Frankenstein Monster turned on the doctor--unfortunately the monster is now on the loose
