Rush Calls Donaldson 'Ignorant' for Saying People 'Like Limbaugh' Oppose Obama Because He's Black

As NewsBusters reported Saturday, former ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson told the Huffington Post, "Many on the political right believe this president [Barack Obama] ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices [sic] and political view but for who he is, an African American! These people and perhaps even certain news organizations (certainly the right wing talkers like Limbaugh) encourage disrespect for this president."

Limbaugh responded to this nonsense by email moments ago:

"Sam's premise, sadly, is ignorant, simplistic, clichéd, predictable and wrong. The President's ideas are what I oppose, not his skin color, which I couldn't care less about. He's the President of the United States and his race does not inoculate or immunize him from substantive critique."

OK. It’s all because Obama’s sorta black. There. Said it. /s

[ontap]

Everything is about race to these bastards!!! 97% of blacks voted for this idiot......want to find racism...there it is!!!

[Jack Hammer]

Sam Donaldson is THE member of the press corps most in need of an extremely large glass of prune juice.

Butt Clench Booby Prize.

He, like other lefties, think that their politics is beyond reproach, ergo, we must be racists because we don't agree with Obama. Like Rush always says, if the left can't defend their arguments start name calling...

One has to wonder how people like Sam Donaldson and Bill Maher think.

Both have watched this idiot we have for President screw up from day one. I could go through all of his Gaffes and all of his dictatorial,illegal rulings by Executive Orders, his spending, his vacations, but we have all seen them before. These to idiots have seen them before, but they are wearing blinders. Like the Amish horse that wears his blinders, they can only see what the Democrats want them to see.

>"People 'Like Limbaugh' Oppose Obama Because He's Black"

When the color of their skin is the only significant difference between the candidates, it's an understandable viewpoint.

[ballplayer]

The problem is We all take this kind of Criticism serious. A 2 year old can see why these comments are made,they are aimed at Morons like Donaldson who I guess considers himself intelligent and superior to the unwashed Masses.It is Cheap race baiting,what Low life Scumbags Like Donaldson have subscribed too their entire Miserable Lives,prey on the Ignorance and Stupidity of the idiots being produced by Public schools today and the Poor wretched souls who dont realize the precious gift they are being robbed of,their dignity,liberty and Freedom.
Would I love to see the millions of those exploited by these reprobates become aware of this theft and exact their revenge.

Sam Donaldson isn't'Ignorant'.
He's EVIL
Sam Donaldson is selling a lie when he says people are 'Ignorant' when they oppose Obama.
Sam Donaldson is just another @sshole blowing stinking hot air for the Fabian Fascists,
and is just another Communist working to destroy our country, plain and simple.

[Real Cynic No More]

Actually I think most of the populace are racists. If the SOB were white, we'd already have stopped HIS illegal activities and HE'd have been the first President to have been impeached AND kicked out of office. HE's getting a pass because HE's black.

[depenzz]

Very well put the Buckwheat.

[reagan_fanatic]

It’s not the skin color, Sam, but what they believe in.

The problem we have with Obama is that he’s an out-and-out socialist - it has nothing to do with his ethnicity. But then again, for race-baiters like yourself, that doesn’t fit the game plan, does it?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Very well put, and spot on. This is about ideology. The irony is that people like Maher truly believe that they are highly intellectual and thoughtful, but as Rush so aptly put it, their “premise, sadly, is ignorant, simplistic, clichéd, predictable and wrong.”

[SMGFan]

Is he still a “sheep rancher in New Mexico”? I recalled he Got taxpayer subsidies for mohair.

[SueRae]

Well said, Rush. How this simple and idiotic meme continues can only be explained because they have no other argument. 0bama wouldn’t be in office if white voters didn’t vote for him.

Donaldson, Toure, MSNBC and the rest of the race bandwagon can STEP OFF. Get a new argument, folks, because this one is dead.

And at least for me..it undercores why so much effort was put into derailing Herman Cain so early on..someone I saw as a happy warrior, brought a positive message and yes, has a vision of this country that mirrors my own. Struck down at the height of his popularity, the powers that work behind the scenes are truly evil. Hear me, Axelrod?

[samtheman]

Conservatives predicted what Obama would do... and were called racists for making those predictions.

Conservatives are now pointing out that the predictions have all come true... and are now called racists for making that point.

[Peet]

This is about 0bama's color? Deep, rich, Bolshevik red?

Yeah, that's the ticket.

[JaguarXKE]

Isn’t Rush’s call screener, James Golden (aka Bo Snerdley) a black man?

[fhayek]

Playing the race card means you are out of any other viable arguments.

[csmusaret]

If these media do-do birds didn’t have the racism excuse to fall back on they would have to admit that they helped elect a totally incompetent, anti-American empty suit.

[FR_addict]

I think Rush was being way too nice too. Maybe the word he used for Sandra Fluke would be more appropriate here. Donaldson knows he's lying, but he's saying it for the money.
