Typical of the left wingers on here, don't address the issue, shoot the messenger. The bottom line is you don't need anyone to tell you that there is class and race warfare (throw in gender too), all you have to do it look at quotes from the President:
Race:
"If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling conventions. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated.
But this strategy alone couldn't provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerant. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
"The Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. . . . What I think we know — separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in their country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that’s just a fact."
"I don’t believe it is possible to transcend race in this country. Race is a factor in this society. The legacy of Jim Crow and slavery has not gone away. It is not an accident that African-Americans experience high crime rates, are poor, and have less wealth. It is a direct result of our racial history."
Class:
"I do think at a certain point you've made enough money."
"I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody."
"Tax hikes on those making more than $250K"
"the wealthiest Americans and big corporations" should pay their "fair share" to reduce the nation's red ink if valuable programs are to be cut"
If you don't think he is trying to divide the country to keep it under his control, then you are fooling yourself. This by far the most divisive President this country has ever faced. He has done nothing to unite people as people, instead he has played to the victim mentality by separating people as much as he can.
So come on, address the issue people instead of being duped!!!!
One main reason why I think Limbaugh is wrong on the race wars. Majority of people who are hoping for a race war tend to be older, I'd guess over 45, maybe 50. The younger generation tends to be a lot more tolerant of different races. It's unlikely that any war will be waged by older people, they need young people to do the fighting and I don't see young people buying into this race war.
Class war? That I could see, you squeeze someone long enough they will fight back.
As son of the biggest lawyer in town, he was able to get a "medical deferment" for a pimple on his butt. He had a student deferment, but flunked out of college after his first semester, so he had to get daddy to pull a few strings.
But it seems from your words that this chickenhawk concept isn't real clear to you. It isn't strictly about who served and who didn't. It's about those who avoided service while actively supporting wars for other guys to fight in.
Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Cheney, Mitch McConnell, Beck, Romney, Ryan are all good examples.

he laughs all the way to the bank at the disenfracised angry right wing sheep, following his rants.
Drive by his estate in Palm Beach sometime guys, his joke is on you.
He doesnt give a damn about the nation, so long as his drug supply and nefarious dealings in the Dominican Republic with young boys are kept out of the media.

So how do you feel about class and racial warfare?

He earned his money.
When you have a shred of evidence for your last statement,
other than internet rumor, let us know.
Beats me. I served with a guy who had a pyloidial cyst on his tailbone just like Rush had and he passed the pre-induction physical and was enlisted into the Navy.
He received corrective day surgery while we were shipmates, and was able to perform his duties while recovering. All he had to do was pack around a rubber doughnut to sit on while healing- it took about 6 weeks before he tossed the doughnut. It was no big deal.
Rush was a very fat young man. Maybe that extra 100 lbs. disqualified him, not the cyst, but he didn't want to mention the flab was what gave him a 4F. Or maybe he crapped his pants and wore them like he-man Ted Nugent did, and didn't want to admit that, either.
