When you step on a pig's tail, it squeals. Rush Limbaugh is a squealer. » Click to enlarge image Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell
RELATED STORIES Transcript: Read Rush Limbaugh's rant
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.
Can’t wait to hear Rush’s response.
I give her credit for admitting she’s a racist nutball.
This is 4 days old now, But if Rush responded yesterday I missed it.
It didn’t take much reading for “unhinged” to leap to my mind also.
Rush would be smart not to bring this up. It would just enhance her status. Ignore this one Rush.
Why is she unhinged? Because the attacks on Obamas associations are WORKING! LOL I love it.
Of course, he wouldn't say that. Neither would I. Neither would any decent person. But you said it.
The horrible thing is that they are losing to Democrats.
She’s SO popular that she’s on V-103 on SUNDAY MORNING berween 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAah...Her MOTHER wouldn’t get up to hear her! What a MORON!
Calling whites “pigs” is racist.
I heard Rush yesterday and don’t recall a word of her. He probably doesn’t want to give her mindless squealing free publicity.
The man from the rally earlier this week begged McCain to ramp up the pressure. Same man was on Fox&Friends this morning. He laid out the strategy of “white guilt” that is being used against us. As a conservative black man, he knows what he is talking about. He said the strategy particularly affects the older, more conservative generation making it easy for Obama to succeed with it. I agree wholeheartedly. We are in a stranglehold!
needs a “Barf Alert”
This is just an attempt to earn a pat on her back by her lib buddies if Rush mentions it.
[Elevator music in the background.]
“She is definitely off her meds. I bet she buys ‘em by the pound.”
Morning, Brucifer.
Good morning, Laz.
I think I’ll add this to the Mad Thread:

she’s a racist.
This is probably news to Rush. If he were so "privileged," I doubt he would have struggled to find a footing in his chosen career. The author makes it sound like he walked into a radio station as a young man and was handed a huge contract for a nationally syndicated show.
"I heard it from a friend who..heard it from a friend who..heard it from a another you're a maniac clown"
I’m guessing they don’t like each other much.
