The people that listen to Rush also have a seething racial hatred. They will attempt to deflect from their racial hatred by calling anyone who makes the accusation "overly sensitive" or "playing the race card".

No true . I can say most of us whites would vote for a good man of color any day over a white man .

All minority racist do us divide us more . All you who vote for injustice and stealing from others to get freebees will lose everything both our ancesters worked for . More whites worked to build this nation because there were more of us . And most of us worked very hard and neer owned a slave . Alot of us fought for equal rights but were rewarded by being hated and will lose what we both built together, we are losing together .

You hate for the white man causes you to join anyone whos against them . I think you will live to regret it along with the rest of us . Then you will see who your real enemy was all along .

In trying to make fun of
a speech by Obama to the NAACP, this sentence
That's not a reason to give up on your education and drop out of school.
is transcribed as
That's not a reason to give up on y'education and drop out of school.
"Latinos" is transcribed as "La-ti-nos".

Not racist, but - in the speech Obama says "our gay brothers and sisters"; this is transcribed as "our gay dead brothers and sisters".

Obama Stokes Racism at NAALCP

Oh, "NAALCP" - also.

Is this all right with you? Is he giving you what you want?
If your looking for racism, you need only look inside the Whitehouse.

except he wasnt really honored because he backtracked later, as you point out.
He didn't backtrack at all. He had to explain what it means to those who don't know how to listen, how to hear and, therefore, comprehension eludes them.

I really don't get how you are translating that as racist. La ti no? Huh? y'education? Heinous!

Rush has always referred to the NAACP as the NAALCP, since he sees it as a liberal organization whose suvival depends upon the continual beat of the same old drum of oppression by whitey. So what?

I quoted his exact words. He said "I hope he fails" and "Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails". Dont know how much clearer you can get than that. Of course he "explained," and what he meant was that he hopes Obama fails.

The foundation of this country was built on the backs of Black slaves.
(even the White House was built with Black slave labor) But I guess this doesn't count because they were owned by Whites.

And BTW, I have hatred for no one. Hatred takes a lot of energy.

The hatred that many are expressing towards Obama is on a scale that I have never seen before with any other President. George W Bush didn't get this much venom and he did put the country on a path of destruction.

During the GWB administration, his detractors did not stoop to the disgusting levels which the Anti-Obama crowd has done. The silent racists inside of them have boiled to the surface.

It is one thing to disagree with the policies of a President. It is another thing to wish for the downfall of his presidency (and thus the nation)

I did not care for the policies and decisions of GWB but I would never have done the things that this "lynch mob" is attempting to do to Obama. And no matter how you people slice it and try to cover up your real motives....WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU OBAMA HATERS ARE REALLY TRYING TO DO

It's not hate. I don't believe people are Obama haters. I think most well-intentioned Americans are concerned for their country. They want the country to survive, and the citizenry to prosper.
I don't call it hate. I'd call it suspicion, only because so much of what he said he'd do isn't turning out to be what many expected, and because of the kinds of people he has surrounded himself with. Coupled with the background that he himself has, there's reason to question and express concern. All that aside, the actions of ANY administration that would spend such vast sums of money, sending the country into unfathomable debt, would result in protests from some sectors.

I still haven't found any examples of racism in your OP - where is it?

Rush has never, ever backpedaled about wanting obama's policies to fail, which would be a great thing for this wonderful nation.

I consider it my patriotic duty to do everything I can to see his policies and agenda fail completely.

Right....no racial undertones here .

Where was all of this suspicion and concern for our nation when GWB was terrorizing Americans with tales of Weapons of Mass Destruction and limiting our rights to privacy under the "Patriot" Act?

Where was the "outrage" when Bush took America from a surplus to a budget deficit and marched our soldiers off to fight a vendetta (and profiteer's) war for oil with a with a country that had not posed a threat to us?

The real motivation of the teabaggers, birthers, "Obama's a Nazi" crowd, "Obama's an Arab/Muslim/Terrorist" crowd is very apparent.
