Limbaugh repeats baseless Obama smear: "He's Arab. ... He's not African-American"

Summary: Rush Limbaugh baselessly asserted of Sen. Barack Obama: "Do you know he has not one shred of African-American blood?" Limbaugh continued: "He's Arab. You know, he's from Africa. He's from Arab parts of Africa. ... e's not African-American. The last thing that he is is African-American."

desperate racist pig! Who listens to this drugged up fool? :puke:

[YOY]

2. Jesus...I'm all for free speach but if you spout blatant lies and call it the "truth"

You should have a piper to pay...sadly his listeners are idiots so far down the rabbithole that little can be done to salvage them.

[DangerousRhythm]

3. Wow, what a ridiculous asshole he is.

Someone needs to smack him down for this.

[TooRaLoo]

4. I suppose they will never wise up and FIRE this idiotic ass.

I can't believe he gets away with saying shit like this.

[MaryEllen9399]

5. Just drop

[blogslut]

6. Is Rush that stupid?

Or is he just banking on the hope that his listeners are that stupid?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. he believes his listeners are stupid, xenophobic and racist.

[Hansel]

23. He's not the only one. nt

[baldingrockwarlord2]

25. He's not so stupid that....

he doesn't realize his audience is so stupid as to believe every word that comes out of his sewer-hole. But other than that, yeah, he's that stupid too.

[cdb]

7. Worthless, racist pig

he's already preaching to the choir

[Schulzz]

8. Didn't we have "too black" and "not black enough" already at the beginning of the primaries?

If that's all he got...

[demokatgurrl]

9. Rush Limbaugh couldn't find Africa on a map

if his life depended on it. We should not be paying any attention to that blowhard.

[iamthebandfanman]

10. wtf?

how he continues to have a job spouting the hateful things he says on a daily basis is beyond me.


anybody else, especially from our side, woulda been punished the NEXT DAY!


someone important needs to become outraged by this...

calling al sharpton ?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. isnt africa the name of the continent? so no matter which part of the continent he comes from

[Submariner]

13. Snortin' Hill billy heroin for so long has fried whatever was left of Dumbaugh's brain

The FCC should take away his license for inciting racism and promoting convention riots. WTF is this puss ball still doing on the air?

[scarface2004]

15. on limbaw 'he s an asshole...an unamerikan asshole!!'

fuck that rat fucker!

[C_U_L8R]

16. And what if he was ??

Good god that Limbaugh asshole is such a fucking racist

[Curtland1015]

17. Exactly! So what if he WAS Arab-American?

So the f*ck what!?

[C_U_L8R]

22. What racist Rush just doesn't understand is...

Obama is AMERICAN.

What an assclown.

[budkin]

18. When Rish Limbaugh speaks he vomits feces

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

19. First of all, being called an Arab is NOT a smear.

It's misleading, yes, and to some ignorant assholes that would likely not vote for Obama anyways, it has an effect. But it is NOT a smear, and would prefer you not refer to it as such. There is nothing wrong whatsoever with being an Arab.

[demokatgurrl]

21. No, any more than being called a liberal

is a smear. But if we let those neocon assholes make it one, or make Dumbfuckistan think it's one, the result is the same.

[kenny blankenship]

20. Why, Rush Limbaugh is 10 TIMES more African-American than Obama is!

Of course Obama isn't black. Anyone with eyes can see that. He's clearly Arab.

[AZSlacker]

24. C'mon OxyRush

You must know that even if you put the stale moldy "Obama is a muslim" bullshit in new packaging, almost everyone will know that you're just trying to sell them old bullshit.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. It's ironic that even with Kenya being in "Sub-Saharan" Africa

which is the code word for "black Africa", that suddenly the designation doesn't apply anymore. :rofl:

[scheming daemons]

27. Rush Limbaugh says Obama's NOT black! LIV bigots all over America switch to Obama.....

Thanks, Rush!

[scheming daemons]

28. Rush Limbaugh says Obama's NOT black! LIV bigots all over America switch to Obama.....

Thanks, Rush!

[BeyondGeography]

30. My reaction as well...you'd think Rush knows how fucked up his audience is

[Colobo]

29. Rush should take a nice overdose of OxyContin.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

31. So THAT'S where the wingnuts are getting that from

Looking at the comments in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's website every day, I can actually tell what the day's Republican talking points are, because half a dozen people will come up with identical declarations.

Today's talking point, by the way, is that Barney Frank and Chris Dodd bear sole responsibility for the financial mess because they urged the financial institutions to lend to all those "unworthy" minorities. Or so I gather from the comment section.

[izzybeans]

32. Let's not let Limbaugh use the Arab people as a slander.

Arab, Obama is not, and even if so, why does the racist fuck care so much?

[Alter Ego]

33. Likewise, Rush, you're not a gasbag--you're a racist asshole.

You may come from Gasbagonia, but you come from the racist asshole PARTS of Gasbagonia. See how this works?
