How Low Can He Go?

Filed in National by on January 21, 2010

Rush Limbaugh, commenting on Obama’s plan for regulating banks:

On Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh accused Barack Obama of waging an anti-Semitic campaign against Jewish people. Limbaugh’s logic?

There are a lot of people, when you say banker, people think Jewish. … People who have a little prejudice about them. … To some people, banker is a code word for Jewish; and guess who Obama is assaulting? He’s assaulting bankers. He’s assaulting money people. And a lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish. So I wonder if there’s – if there’s starting to be some buyer’s remorse there.

My question: will any Republicans dare to criticize Limbaugh?

    Funny, here in Delaware, banker is a synonym for “guy next door”

    Dare and do, but Crimminey UI, you are his paycheck. Haven’t you become desensitized yet, to not “set up” and point? It’s a different set of sheep that he shepherds. It’s not the “Rs” keeping him around, it’s the outraged Ds that advertisers, managers, and ratings have to thank for visibility and viability. Quit assuring next week’s paycheck w/ this week’s perfunctory pontification.

    And hey, didn’t mean to pontificate on that! But disregard, not distribute Limbaughloney. New Year’s resolution?

    on the other side of the dial…

    Air America to cease live programming today, totally off the air 1/25/10
    Air America Board

    It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.

  6. Joanne,

    Limbaugh endorsed Scott Brown. Will Scott Brown say publicly that Limbaugh was wrong and should apologize? Limbaugh is not around because of Ds. He’s the angry rightwing white guy and perhaps you missed several Republican leaders having to walk back criticism of Limbaugh last year. They don’t dare criticize him.

    Sheesh, he’s starting to sound like Olbermann.

  8. A. price says:

    He sounds like Olberman plus 200 pounds, years of opiate abuse, and a lobotomy

  9. MJ says:

    Can’t we come up with a list of his advertisers (national and local) and organize a boycott? They need to pull their ads or risk losing business.

    With the new corporate contributions, I expect to be doing a hell of a lot of boycotting.
