Is It Rush, Or Is It Racism?
American Sentinel ^ | March 5, 2009 | Jay Henderson

The recent concerted attack on radio talk show personality Rush Limbaugh by several Obama proxies raises interesting questions, including: is this really about Rush Limbaugh, or does it reflect the ever-present undertone of Democratic-Left racism?

Heck yes it does!
Rush is the representative of all rich, fat, white men. Rush even stereotypically smokes cigars.

It’s racist as racist can be.

He may be rotund but he is a doll.
And “is it racists” interesting question and it maybe correct. Never thought of it as that.

I have only ever met one white racist,

however, I have heard and read from innumerable anti-white racists.

He really has put the pounds back on (not that I haven’t).

“I have only ever met one white racist,”

There are still lots of them. My Democrat brother was a white racist until he joined the Obama Hope/Change train.

But, using the standard that the left has used for years about racism, (if it involves race, and can remotely be construed as racism, it is racism), then this is racism!
Turnabout is fair play.

As for calling Rush fat. It’s not intended as an insult. Just an observation. In fact, I match Rush’s description, including cigar smoking. Well, the rich part... I fall way short on that one.

Their attack on Rush is to somehow convince the sheeple that Obama’s failing socialist agenda is Rush’s fault because he willed it. Rush should stay on point. Rush wants Obama to fail in his attempt to create a socialist state.

I seem to remember that Limbaugh said that he loses weight to a really low level then doesn't worry about it, gains it back and then loses it again.
Sometimes people just struggle with their weight. I am going to go with there is an impending famine and only the heavy will survive, (ok thats how I justify that extra cookie anyway.)

If it involves the hypocritical-left of course it involves racism. They are the most racist, back-stabbing, two-faced, lowlife scum there is. They can’t stand on principles because they have none to stand on!

I just think it’s a twist on “wag the dog”. It’s simply a diversion.

If they succeed in characterizing Rush as the head of the GOP, then there will be a perception that the RNC gets 3 hrs/day on the public airways. The DNC will need to "get its fair share"...

The day the presiding party forgets their opposition and instead focuses on one man, should be a VERY scary and a much needed wake up call for us all.

What has one man have that the GOP lacks? Respect, substance, truth and no FEAR!!!!

It's collectivism. The collective/socialist/thug/criminal vs. the individual.

The gang of senators who signed the lie was unprecedented...a turning point in this nation's history.

Whatever “racist” means? But if it has any meaning then it mostly lies with the left.

Yo-yo dieting. Not good for your health, either.
