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."

Though President Bush has refused to speak to the NAACP throughout his presidency, Mehlman's July 14 speech to the NAACP renounced Republican efforts to capitalize politically on white Southerners' backlash against civil rights-era legislation. In his prepared remarks, Mehlman said, "Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."

10. They assumed that position over 30 years ago

Ask the racists, big business, and the religious right.

They've had a cheekfront-view since Nixon launched the southern strategy.

11. Mehlman is either very brave or very stupid

but you have to admire him for having the balls to say what he did,
especially considering his position in the party,
which I doubt he'll have much longer.

[Tom Kitten]

12. This is an evil, evil man...

is he not satisfied at inciting hatred and division does he wish to incite further division and civil violence? What do our soldiers in battle who hear this pus pot on Armed Forces Radio think when they hear this?

14. Limbaugh instinctively knows that he

and his kind are being pushed aside to make way for a different, larger demographic and he does'nt like it one bit! His hysterics sound like an abandoned wife screaming at her cheatin' husband. Rushbo is a legend in his own mind who sees his importance to the GOP eroding away. They have been used and are now being discarded!
