Rush Limbaugh Still A Racist

Rush Limbaugh recently signed a $400 million dollar contract with the people that put him on the air across the country. For that amount of money, what exactly does Rush contribute to the national debate? Well nothing really, unless you count the increasing racist tone in his attacks against Barack Obama. Yesterday's outburst grabbed the attention of many anti-discrimination groups.

From ThinkProgress:

Continuing his race-based attacks from the day before, Rush Limbaugh declared yesterday that Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) success so far is because people “can’t criticize the little black man-child:”

LIMBAUGH: It’s — you know, it’s just — it’s just we can’t hit the girl. I don’t care how far feminism’s saying, you can’t hit the girl, and you can’t — you can’t criticize the little black man-child. You just can’t do it, ’cause it’s just not right. It’s not fair. He’s such a victim.

Limbaugh has made racist attacks on Obama his forte. In March, he declared Obama had “disowned his white half” and “decided he’s got to go all in on the black side.” Last year, he called Obama “Barack the Magic Negro.”

Now the radio stations would never think of pulling him from the air, no matter how incendiary he gets. As long as Rush pulls in the dough nobody in any position of power gives a damn. So that is why people need to call his advertisers....and ask why they agree with his comments.
