A Look at Some of the More "ugly" Quotes from the "voice" of the Republican Party

With the recent near-collapse of free-market capitalism and the departure of a very unpopular president, the GOP has been struggling the last few weeks to find relevancy and a leader. After CNN host, D.L. Hughley referred to Rush Limbaugh as that
leader, RNC Chair Michael Steele, decried that idea and called Rush merely and "entertainer" and referred to his show as "incendiary" and "ugly." Comments like these did not go unnoticed by Rush Limbaugh, and with 20 million listeners it's best not to make him angry if you're Michael Steele. As a consequence, Michael Steele apologized, most like in fear of alienating Rush's conservative listeners in such a doubtful time for the GOP. But why apologize when it's clear he was right? Let's take a look at some of the more "incendiary" and "ugly" comments made by Rush Limbaugh.

Let's start with the racist ones:

"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." (to a female, African-American caller)

"They're 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed."

"I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

Now, some misogynistic ones:

"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."

"She comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. She's actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life." --on his cat

This one is just ignorant and mean:

I wonder what he would have to say about transsexuals?

Try to remember this when thinking about the bashing of conservatives--they are the ones that are the owners of all these small companies that employ all the liberals that haven't found a job with the goverment or are on the dole. Those darm conservatives are also the ones that donate a shit load of money to all kinds of charities-not the democrat liberals-just check the record of your local democrat politicians-cheap bastards. Yeah Limbaugh can say some crazy things but most of it is really the truth. Alot of what he says is just sarcasim trying to make a point. And he does that well--by far the number 1 radio show. Now I have to sign off cause I have only worked 14 hours so far today in my own business--need to work more to provide for all the libs living off me. BYE

And that is why Obama is coming to Boston tomorrow afternoon to help Coakley. They need to draw out the bottom dwellers. All the urban welfare people who have that protected pie. Now people don't pic on me for being racist-far far from it- BUT they also need to get the black vote, the mulato vote, the spanish vote, the asian vote, etc You see the race is made up of two white people and Oakley being lilly white, blond and with no lips is a stark contrast from the vast majority of Boston's city dwellers. Here's hoping there are enough independant voters that can see thru all this BS. We are talking about the 41st seat-the regime breaker-the Obama nightmare--they are pulling out all the stops.

Vicky Kennedy came out to beg for you to vote for "Teddy's seat"--"don't let all of his life's work go for nothing". Brown says it is "the peoples seat" it belongs to no individual. Enough thinkers started saying-hey that isn't Teddy's -it does belong to me-the people. NOW Vicky is saying "vote for Oakley for the peoples seat". They can't even pump independantly.

Brown beat the tar out of her in the debate so immediately after the show-before midnight-the Dems started all thier prepared dirty commercials. Brown is staying clean .

Absentee voting is up 4-6 times what it was in the primaries. People covering themselves in case we get one of our bad new England N'oreasters.

Remember that little itty piece of pie-the one that the bottom 50% of tax payers that only pay 3%---yeah well the 3%'ers have 50% or more of the votes. That is what Obama is going after- the less educated- the dependers of the dole.

Here's hoping he fails at this like he failed with the Olympics.

From Washington Monthly

The president's 53% approval rating is up a few points from December, and his personal qualities still remain relatively strong -- 57% believe Obama understands the problems of people like them, and 63% consider him a strong leader. A 58% majority have a favorable view of the president personally. Notwithstanding the assumptions of Dowd, Gerson, and other Villagers, 55% approve of the president's handling of the terrorist threat, and 62% approve of his handling of the failed Christmas-day terror plot. Looks like the Cheneys' efforts to undermine the administration fell flat.

For the White House, that's the good news. The bad news is the public remains in a deeply sour mood, and has grown increasingly impatient. Obama's numbers have dropped below the 50% threshold on the economy and health care, and the number of Americans who believe the country is on the right track is lower than it's been since February. Ouch.

But in keeping with the year-long trend, Republicans are simply not the beneficiary (pdf) of public discontent. Only 24% of the public has confidence in congressional Republicans "to make the right decisions for the country's future." The number for congressional Democrats is at least a little better at 32%, while the president's number is nearly double that of the GOP at 47%.

What's more, "when it comes to assigning blame for the nation's economic woes, about twice as many fault the George W. Bush administration as do Obama's."

Most people haven't forgotten that the mess we are in was caused by the lax regulation during the Bush administration.

Most of these quotes are urban legend. Snopes says for most of them there is no source. Rather than trying to dig up some obscure quote that Rush may or may not have said, or 2nd hand left-wing journalists versions of what Rush said, just listen to him. He's on every day, and usually says exactly what he says
