I know that old Rush "Oxycontin" Limbaugh's a little upset these days, what with Glenn Beck on the cover of TIME and all. But this is bad, even for him. Time to call the advertisers and radio stations:

In a remark extraordinary even by the standards of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing radio heavyweight declared on his program Wednesday that the United States needed to return to racially segregated buses.

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “I think the guy’s wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama’s America.”

A full transcript of Limbaugh’s comments on his radio show is available at MediaMatters.org.

Limbaugh’s comments came after a called complained to say that local law enforcement said the attack probably wasn’t racially motivated. The incident had been hyped by the conservative Drudge Report, which posted a video of the fracas.

“Police initially said the beating of the white student by two black students appeared to be racially motivated,” the Associated Press wrote. “But police on Tuesday backed away from that.”

That didn’t stop Limbaugh from making his comments Wednesday.

“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,” Limbaugh also said. “I wonder if Obama’s going to come to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard.”

“White Americans are racists who have created what they call free markets that really just enslave the rest of America and her trading partners,” Limbaugh also mocked. “I mean, it was white Americans that ran off Van Jones. No, look, let’s just follow Eric Holder’s advice and not be cowards about all this. Let’s have an open conversation, an honest conversation about all of our typical white grandmothers. You had one, I had one. Obama had one. They’re racists just like our students are. ACORN — hey, nothing but racism fueling the pursuit of ACORN.”

Limbaugh also suggested that racism itself was acceptable.

“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked. “I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things.”

Media matters needs to understand it.

You need to read this in context.

Anyway, sure, sometimes Rush says some crazy things, but most of the time he's dead on. Plus he's got the balls to say what's on his mind. I respect that.

He is insane.

Dead on?

I can't.......

He was basically saying that Obama is the one segregating the country, pitting blacks against whites, and that thus, we should segregate the buses to prevent more of this sort of thing (blacks attacking whites). Is that what you want? I surely don't, so maybe we should consider Limbaugh's advice. It sounds more reasonable in context, no?

This post took a left tune onto Are you delusional BLVD. with this line: Obama is the one segregating the country.

Right wing racism. blame darkie.

you're forgetting that we're born racist. so it should be acceptable... like homosexuality is accepted....

I'm going to defend Limbaugh here because I don't really give a shit what kind of person you are, you deserve to have your comments faithfully interpreted. In this case, it seems pretty clear that he is not actually calling for segregated buses.

YES HE IS.

Ereht did uoy tahw ees I.

In regards to the rest of it, it's just Limbaugh being Limbaugh. I don't get what the point is of getting worked up about it. He's always been how he is, and it's not going to change.

That being said, I must be reading this particular section out of context, cause on it's merits this is some of the dumbest logic I've seen in some time.

I have to say its true, white people in the south have indeed forgotten what public transportation is... perhaps he just feels like we need to be reintroduced...


or maybe not really at all.

but this is where people are assuming it is his rush's logic. he is saying, since time or newsweek or some other nationally publicated magazine ( i think it was newsweek) stated that white people are born with racism in their genes. and his ranting flows off of that

Homosexuality being inborn is not what makes it acceptable.

From Tuesday: The Magazine Rush was mocking

Or you could just...ya know...read media matters.

If this was a black kid being pulverized the media, Sharpton and Jackson would be calling for riots in the streets. This country is so fucked up it crazy. This black thug should be kicked out of school and charged with a hate crime. If it was the other way around, the white kid would loose school privileges, be labeled a racist by these hate mongers and charged with every civil rights violation that could fit on his booking sheet. He would then have to sit down and take a black history class and drop to his knees for all of black America to forgive him. I forgot, it's ok for blacks to be racist.

fitzy is a wicked smart.

Rush Limbaugh is an uneducated, fat ugly drug addict

Also ban Aliveguy1 from ND

its funny when people get all riled up when someone's statements are taken out of context and then, when it's pointed out, are so ignorant that they can't admit it. Pathetic.
