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.
I wonder if Rush will respond since this truly does not deserve a response! Mary Mitchell is a true racist and it is out for everyone to see! All Rush needs to say is: “Remember racists always play the race card or cry foul about someone being a racist without any proof, so what would one expect from a racist like Mary Mitchell.”
Mitchell's racial comments will only cause more folks like her to listen to Rush's show today to hear what he says in response!
The racist misogynist Mary Mitchell lost it early on Palin.
“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.”
Yes James Harris does know what he is talking about. I hope he asks Mitchell to call into his show so he can help all his listeners to see just how VERY RACIST she is! I have become one of his listeners and won’t be missing his shows since I can listen on line! He is a true God loving, country loving, family loving American!
Somewhere around here, I've got a "White Guilt Certificate of Absolution" that I received from "The Black Avenger," Ken Hamblin.
Guilt is a powerful weapon that we put in the hands of our enemies to use against us. Ayn Rand knew it.

Whoa, I can't wait until the noon hour! This fight ain't even going one round........... LOL!
Now that's a prime time slot if I ever saw one.....(NOT!)
Except for the drunks and druggies just going to bed at that time, who listens?
Racism, thy name is black, democrat woman!
If she gets Rush to respond, people might learn who she is. She's using Rush to get noticed. Rush has to be wiser than to respond to this drivel.
I am an older, more conservative generation voter and feel absolutely no guilt about voting against a marxist, socialist, egomaniac puppet who happens to be half white.
I'd agree with that.
Couldn't have summed it up better myself!
“When in doubt, slip into thug slang.”
Although I don’t understand much of the terminology of ebonics, would this be classified as thug thizzle?
Don’t know who this hack is...she sure thinks she is important, though. :)
I confess.
I don't listen to Limbaugh.
Name a single instance of Rush ridiculing anyone because of their race? Name ANYONE who has ridiculed Obama because of his race? Name anyone on the RIGHT who has made Obama's race an issue in this campaign?
*crickets*
Just what I thought, you lying POS!
People like this bitch incite racism. I hope Rush doesn’t bring it up so as not to give her the attention she so desperately seeks.
