Rush Limbaugh would have sided with the confederacy during the Civil War, according to MSNBC analyst Dorian Warren.

Warren, a Columbia professor and fellow at the progressive Roosevelt Institute, explained that Limbaugh “represents the Confederacy. He would have been on that side that went to war around the question of slavery.”

This deserves nothing but mocking and scorn. I'm sure Rush will be all over it it today -- but then again, why bother? MSNBC only has 2 viewers these days!!

300,000 is the same viewership as a test pattern (remember Donahue?)

Joe Scarborough has a viewership of 400,000.

minka’s sweater is carrying the show. (not her comments just the sweater)

And they call this analysis. Agree that Rush should have fun with it. Perhaps “A Confederacy of One!”

If Rush represents the confederacy then MSNBC and the rest of the libtards in political office represent the Third Reich.

Because radio was really popular during the Civil War.

The Civil war was less about slavery than it was about States Rights.

Slavery was a vehicle- but imagine if the southern states objected to the federal government telling them...oh, I dunno... that they had to buy health care?

Abe Lincoln glorified the war as about preserving “The Union” as if “The Union” was some religious deity.

i just called him and left a message saying, “Mr Warren, i need to educate you to the fact that MSNBC, the company you accept income from, represents Pravda, the news agency that does nothing but stay obedient to those in power at present time”...

Another Affirmative Action university professor who wouldn’t be able to get a job if the quota system weren’t in place. These people love the government, which made it possible for them to teach young skulls full of mush their racially biased version of history.

When Rush gets wind of silliness like this he usually spends the entire program blabbing about himself, which prompts me to shut the radio off or tune into Laura Ingram.

Rush represents the best of the confederacy and even a full on yankee like myself knows what that means.

Yeah, right. Some still can’t shake those old democrat party/confederacy fantasies about why the war was fought. The democrat slaveowners stated in writing and by their speech that it was about how Lincoln would free the slaves and would hear no compromise that was offered by him to let slavery be where it was already established.

Secession was about slavery, period. The “states rights” meme was what the democrat aristocrats sold to the non-slave holding population to get them to fight for them. Many of the southern troops came to realize and referred to the war as a “rich man’s war, poor man’s fight”, and they were right.

Democrats have been the racists all along - from George Wallace standing in the school house door to Bull Conner and his dogs to KKK Sen. Byrd who led the Senate for decades to Gov. Hollings who brought back the Confederate Battle flag.

ALL DEMOCRATS - all the above men were democrats and they never switched parties.

I lived in the Jim Crow South - the racists stayed Democrats except for Maddox. And their tactics used against blacks? They switched them to use against conservative Americans. Dems are the same haters they always were - they just switched out their victims.

Some black woman commenting on this was charging Limbaugh does not know his history because the civil war was not over slavery but over states rights.

Talk about a flip flop.

Anyone saying the war was over states rights is normally branded a racist.
