Are scribblers of stories and statements that constantly portray or
equate ridicule of Obama to racism actually guilty of racism themselves?

Rush Limbaugh has recently adopted the theme of referring to President Obama as a little child when attacking the administration's various political moves.
Today Limbaugh referred to President Obama as an "out of control little child who thinks that he is the Messiah" while criticizing the federal spending. Last week Limbaugh also referred to the President as a "little man-child" when government expansion. These are the two most recent references and Media Matters documents at least six other occasion including times when Limbaugh used the phrase "boy" in referencing an adult Obama.
Curiously these references have drawn little scrutiny from the press or Limbaugh's followers. It is possible that the media has simply grown to expect a hint of racism from Limbaugh and that they therefore view it as a "non-story." On the other hand Limbaugh is still perhaps the most influential right-wing commentator in the United States. Therefore if his statements truly do reflect a racist stereotype it seems the story should get more attention given Limbaugh's importance to the political debate.

He has no birth certificate. No one knows what to call him without any certain name. “Hey you” or “that one” is just as fine as anything else. What do we call someone who can’t find a door handle on a window and slams his head entering a helicopter doorway? Mr. Nobel?
What an imagination this author has.....LOL
So what if it is.
Nothing illegal about being a racist now is there?
I’m damn proud of my race, aren’t you?
Sheesh.
Hey obama is a spoiled little brat!!!!
One thing to always keep in mind is that B0 is half black and half white. As I say to anyone who might call me a racist, I think his black half is operating just like I thought he would and therefore no surprises. It is his white half that I have a bigtime problem with..if that makes me a racist against whites, so be it.
As for Rush’s comments: he doesn’t refer to 0bummer as “a little child”, what he calls B0 is man-child.
He could call him B0 (initials only). Now, IF Rush added any other letter from a to y,(especially y) then it is probably possible to maybe, sort of, partially in a round about way to think of considering that word as a possible partial description of the remark.
To do that though, one would have to clear it with his right hand man BO Snerdly...who I am sure would have quite a bit to say about the man he works with and for.
Mahalo, and Merry Christmas
” Yes, but to appreciate the show one must get past Limbaugh’s
constant references to how superior he is to us all.
He only means it half of the time.”
No. Once you realize how superior Rush is to the rest of us, only then can you really begin to appreciate his show. Half of the time.
My favorte term for the POTUS is “punk president”. I’ve used it at least 50 times here at FR. You can call me racist all day long. I don’t give a s___.
Mine is ‘marxist quisling’
I always referred to my late 20-ish - early 30-ish supervisors as "boy wonders," but it had nothing to do with race (they were all white males fresh out of college). It had everything to do with their lack of actual and practical experience on the job.
Rush is correct, they're like little children when they have to call other people to ascertain how to handle situations. They lack essential skills to perform the job. Generally "others" are providing them with comprehensive instructions that "seasoned" supervisors would know and use.
The "little child" or "boy wonder" supervisor (or whatever) is hired specifically to follow corporate, owner or other vested interests' orders or because they are willing to work for wages sufficiently low enough to suit corporate budgets.

Never heard Rush call Obummer a “boy”. You sir, wouldn’t be attempting to play the race card to divert attention away from our sorry excuse of a president, would you?
I HAVE heard Rush refer to him as a “manchild.” And today heard him call Obummer a little child. Manchild has been his most frequent appelation, and it is a legitimate term, and a pretty good description of him. All it means is that the man has never grown up. He was babied and “spoiled” as a child, and has reached adulthood physically, while retaining all the self-centered tantrum-leaning characteristics of a brat kid!
I don’t see how its racist. In fact, I often refer to Obama as Junior.
Obama, Ayers, Rahm, Axelrod, etc. never grew up emotionally and mentally. As such they are still “boys.” They are still fighting the 60’s and 70’s “establishment” without realizing that’s who they are now. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Valerie Jarret wanted to know what’s with Glenn Beck. Obviously, she thinks the majority should hate America and bring about its downfall with no conception of its effects. They are blinded by hate and are mentally deranged.
Or Erkel
man child
The word “racist” has been rendered meaningless. I’ll play cards at any table, but when the race card turns up I get up and leave.
Nope
Hoax and Chains. And the state run media.
