Limbaugh pissed at Republicans for apologizing for racism
Limbaugh blasted Mehlman's renunciation of GOP racial tactics: "Republicans are going to go bend over and grab the ankles"

Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh blasted Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Ken Mehlman's plans to apologize for his party's notorious Southern Strategy at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Responding to Mehlman's planned renunciation of the race-based electoral strategy, Limbaugh accused Republicans of planning "to go bend over and grab the ankles."

3. Rush is telling the truth, WWIII soon to start.
He watches what happens to Dem pols that apologize and then bend over for the MSM reaming. Of course the whole fucking GOP needs to apologize for EXISTING.

4. What do you expect from this amoral scum?
He makes his ratings by being audacious. Nobody is safe from his hate-mongering for dollars.

6. Keep it up, Rush.
Expose the GOP for the racist organization it has become. The abolitionists who started the party are surely rolling over in their graves.

8. Someone told me that Rush was saying that Treason-gate is...
...an attempt by 'rogue' CIA led by Joe Wilson to undermine the current administration on his show today.
Everytime I've caught a few minutes of his show recently he really seems more desperate and insane than ever. Especially when I can't hear the words, only the overall tone.
He's over and he knows it I think.

12. Limbaugh is a big time racist. CNN - Limbaugh resigns over McNabb
comments

(CNN) -- Amid a storm of controversy over his racially charged comments on a weekend TV show, conservative commentator and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh announced on Thursday that he had resigned from his post at ESPN.

Limbaugh said on Thursday he stepped down late Wednesday from the show "Sunday NFL Countdown" to protect the network from the uproar caused by his statement that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.

McNabb said Wednesday that he didn't mind criticism of his performance, but was upset that Limbaugh made his race an issue and said it was too late for an apology.

"It's somewhat shocking to hear that on national TV from him," McNabb said. "It's not something that I can sit here and say won't bother me."

http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/10/02/limbaugh/

Just to show how astoundingly wrong and racist Limbaugh's comments about Donovan McNabb actually were:

"McNabb has been selected for five Pro Bowls in his six NFL seasons"
