Limbaugh Compares Sec. of Labor Nominee Tom Perez To "Grand Kleagle Of The Ku Klux Klan"

From Media Matters:

Audio is included at the link.

Judging by the another thread I saw on the Perez nomination, it would appear this is a coordinated attack by members of the right-wing media and the Republican Party, and it's on the first Latino nominee for Obama's second-term Cabinet.

Premiere Networks is responsible for the Limbaugh program. Here's the corporate info:

They're their own worst enemy thinking that this will accomplish anything except further tarnish their image.

By the way, Limbaugh today called Obama a reality tv show star for all his supposed efforts to get on tv and pursue celebrity. He called him "Obama Kardashian". Coming from a defacto leader of a party that invited two reality tv show stars to its CPAC event, Trump and Palin, this is pretty rich.

I recall hearing that Palin's CPAC speech included a dig at the president for being like a reality TV star -- pretty rich coming from someone whose family has actually been on reality TV.

Of course Palin also blasted members of her own party for losing elections. Self-awareness ain't exactly her strong point, is it?
