Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

1) Limbaugh said of the 2000 election results, "If you take away the black vote, Bush won by a landslide." Luckily, we don't live in the "White's only" world of Limbaugh. One point that he did leave out however was that Gore won in a shut-out if all racist, misogynist, war-mongering windbags are deleted from the voting equations.

2) Limbaugh as an NFL commentator decided that his energy was best spent claiming that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was overrated by the media just because he's black. Limbaugh suggested that McNabb was benefiting from a "media-driven NFL affirmative action plan."

3) He once told a black caller to "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

4) He commented that "all police composites resemble Jesse Jackson."

5) Limbaugh expressed his anger when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: 'Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out.' http://www.fair.org/article s/limbaugh-color.html

6) Limbaugh mocked the NAACP: 'The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.'

7) When Carol Moseley-Braun was in the Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the 'Movin' On Up' theme song from TV's 'Jeffersons' when he mentioned her."

8) After being outed as a drug abuser, investigators said Rush Engaged in the criminal activity of 'Doctor Shopping' for Pills:

"Investigators who raided the offices of Rush Limbaugh's doctors said in search warrants filed Thursday that the conservative radio commentator engaged in illegal drug use and 'doctor shopping' for prescription painkillers. The warrants - which name four doctors and several prescription drugs - show investigators were looking for records including prescription disbursements, appointment schedules, receipts and a medical questionnaire when they raided the offices Nov. 25. 'Mr. Limbaugh's actions violate the letter, and spirit' of the law that relates to doctor shopping, stated one of warrants, signed by Asim Brown, a law enforcement agent assigned to the state attorney's office anti-money laundering task force. Doctor shopping refers to looking for a doctor willing to prescribe drugs illegally."

9) Limbaugh was also investigated for money laundering.

10) Limbaugh described the torture of Iraqi prisoners as a "brilliant maneuver", "good old American pornography," and "just plain good ole boy fun."

11) He agreed with a caller to his radio show when he compared the Torture of Iraqi prisoners to a fraternity prank. Limbaugh replied:

"Exactly. Exactly my point! This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time."

12) And finally, here's Rush's alternative view on the abuse:

"I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You of heard of need to blow some steam off? And these American prisoners of war -- have you people noticed who the torturers are? Women! The babes! The babes are meting out the torture. You know, if you look at -- if you, really, if you look at these pictures, I mean, I don't know if it's just me, but it looks just like anything you'd see Madonna, or Britney Spears do on stage."

Have a great time Rush, and if the guards or other inmates start to give you a beatdown, remember, they're just 'having a good time'.

Heh!
