Rush Limbaugh On: The American Voter

It's like shooting ducks in a barrel. Listen to Rush Limbaugh, hear idiocy. Today, Rush was breathlessly hyping his "Operation Chaos" in the Democratic nominating process. Limbaugh began talking to a self-described, proud "dittohead" and the conversation eventually deteriorated thusly:

CALLER: I just wanted to point out the ironies of the fact that the South is always being knocked as the region that will not vote for a black man. Yet, what is the only region where Democrats did not vote for a black man?

RUSH: Yeah, the elite, refined, sophisticated Northeast.

CALLER: Exactly.

RUSH: So your point, that's where the true racism resides?

CALLER: Oh, it's obvious, isn't it?

RUSH: I don't think there's any question.


Yes, that's the premier voice of Repub talk radio asserting that anyone who does not vote for a black man is a racist. Millions of individuals choosing to vote for United States Senator Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president, and they're all racist. That would make Rush Limbaugh simplistic and narrow-minded, but perhaps most of all.... elitist.
