One of the right's hero pundits.......Mr. Slime himself.....Rush Limbaugh:

Comment: First, Limbaugh’s racially offensive comments are legendary. He referred to Los Angeles mayor Villaraigosa as a “shoe shine boy.” He once told an African American caller to “take the bone of your nose.” He claimed that blacks can’t swim. He did a parody song “Barack the Magic Negro.” But offensive as these things are, they pale in his statement about Obama and Hispanics being “akin to old segregationists.” I guess poor Rush doesn’t remember that the “old segregationists” didn’t allow blacks to vote, attend the same schools, use the same water fountains, and eat at the same lunch counters while brutally beating and killing those who attempted to change the system. Perhaps he thinks that “strange fruit” had something to do with citrus. Maybe he doesn’t remember the violence and bloodshed done to American citizens all in the name of segregation. I guess he doesn’t remember the names of Medgar Evers, Emit Till, the little girls killed in the Birmingham church bombings, and so many others who met their end at the hands of “old segregationists”. And it looks like Steve Doocy doesn’t either. Only in the alternate universe of Fox News can the language and issues of Civil Rights be appropriated by those whose bigoted views aren't that different from the "old segregationists."
