Sometimes I think that Rush Limbaugh is the dumbest man in America. This happens whenever I take him at face value and forget that he is basically an entertainer with contempt for his audience. He will tell them anything. Last week, as if to validate my opinion of him, he went after Michelle Obama for playing the "race card" at the dedication of a museum in New York City. He described her as angry and complaining. The word he should have used was "right."
I would even have settled for "interesting." After all, when the first lady of the United States suggests that something's wrong when black and other minority children feel alienated from an institution like the Whitney Museum of American Art, maybe she has reason for saying so. In fact, she was talking out of experience.
[Snip]
Limbaugh was hearing none of it. The way he looks at it, Obama is not entitled to her experiences, certainly not to talk about it. "I mean, even if you're a committed liberal, you don't want to hear this stuff all the time," he said. "You're here at a museum dedication and you want to hear an angry first lady stand up and start complaining about stuff like this?" Well, yes, Rush, I do.

You evil Freepers, and Rush Limbaugh, are the dumbest people in America for criticizing Aunt Esther for being angry after you provoked her with your racism!
I am waiting for Rush to catch flak from yesterday’s tidbit about Moochelle not liking to be called a baby mama.
Hmmm. The ever affable “chip on my huge shoulders” moochie whining about how bad she had it or Denzel Washington at Dillard University in New Orleans.

Of course we know Mr. Washington has his faults, as we all do, but seems like he has some of his priorities right.
this boo dagger frightens me!!!
I feel exceptionally microaggressed against
Just a bunch of ol’ fish-eyed heathens.
Who cares what RealQueerPolitics has to say.
She’s not angry. She was making faces and her face froze that way.
Life imitates art
“Sometimes I think that Rush Limbaugh is the dumbest man in America.”
Rush should file a lawsuit.
Race-bait....here fishy fishy....
Richard Cohen is an angry little liberal with blue rinsed hair & wirerimmed specs who has lived inside the Beltway bubble for many decades.
El Rushbo lives rent free inside this little man’s brain.

Michelle Obama KNEW HER GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER THE SLAVE?? I have family from the 1800's who died in the Irish Potato famine..does that make me an expert on suffering, famines and potatoes??
Grace and poise are racist.
And elusive it would seem....;’)
Chris Plante skewered Cohen this morning on WMAL.
Actually people like Cohen are the real racists. Because they treat black people as their personal pets. Cohen is the type of liberal who probably gets upset when white people criticize the loathsome Al Sharpton.
Rule no 1 of white libs: never criticize black people...unless they're conservatives, and then they're not really black.
Rush does not have contempt for his audience.
Michelle Obama on the other hand........
Boy, Cohen is not getting much love at the site for this one...
Her experience? She had a soft, pampered middle class existence growing up, got an affirmative action pass to the Ivy Leagues and hit the jackpot when her husband got elected Senator and then President. She is your classic latte' liberal.
