Rush Limbaugh Blasts Phone Caller Who Claims He Is Racist

Audio
» 195 comments

Today on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh was confronted by a caller who alleged Rush’s criticism of President Obama has been racist. The caller even alleged that Rush hides behind using the term “satire” when in fact Rush’s attempts at comedy are really just instances of his racism. However, when the caller could not provide a specific racist example, Rush unloaded on him.

At one point the caller complains that Rush never makes fun of Republicans and that Rush is not fair, to which Rush humorously responds, “I’ve never said I’m fair and balanced.” When Rush demanded specific examples of racism, the caller offered up Rush’s spoof commercials with an Obama voice using a “negro dialect” and claimed Rush always ignores any crazy comments made by Republicans like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann. Unsatisfied with the caller providing any further specifics Rush yelled “I have given you so much opportunity to be specific about your complaint and you can’t do it.”

And then Rush got really angry, scolding the caller:

“You are partly responsible for the problem this country is in, because you are willingly ignorant. You willingly keep yourself stupid and ignorant and uninformed and you run around and live in your political cliched world.”

Rush concluded by suggesting he has forcefully challenged liberals throughout the years, regardless of their race, and that the racism charge is ludicrous. The back and forth Rush allowed at the beginning with the caller who clearly didn’t like him (yet strangely seemed like a devoted listener) was actually enlightening, and with Rush yelling by the end providing the entertainment, it seems like this clip has a little bit of everything.

Listen to the clip below from The Rush Limbaugh Show:

    The tea party is a racist organization.

  • huntingtonboy

    Rush is a cartoon character who says certain things to get ratings so he can hire Elton John at his wedding and make even more money. I mean, you don’t take this guy seriously….do you? He is just like Bill O on Fox. they are both real life Stephen Colbert’s. Character. Made up money makers.

  • The_Reasonable_Lib
  • Harry Flashman

    And away we go….

    I’m not a huge Limbaugh fan – as I’ve said before he makes me cringe sometimes and I’m a conservative – but I agree with him on this.

    The “RACIST” shrieks from the left have run their course. Its been their fall back point for years, and they used it up. Having a differing opinion doesn’t constitute racism and the charge is wearing thin, especially when the left is far more often likely to make racially chrged remarks than the right.

    Case in point – the imbecile Dallas area councilman who told his constituents at a meeting last night, “You’ re all white. So shut up.”

    Speaking for myself, I’m really REALLY tired of the racist rock being hurled at the drop of a hat. That’s all you got? Shut up yourself.

    Sorry, but the often annoying Limbaugh is right about this one.

  • Liberal Tormentor (formerly Seeing 2012 From My Window)

    Interesting take, Matty. I was listening and didn’t think he exploded at all. I thought he made a fool of the lib that made the accusation and then couldn’t back it up. Come to think of it, it sounded ALOT like the Royal Dimwit. He does that too.

  • paulmdoro

    Somebody has too much time on their hands if they’re calling in to Rush’s show to accuse him of being a racist. He makes his very nice living by being provocative and pushing boundaries. It’s what he does, and he does it well.

  • Harry Flashman

    Getting back to the “code word” stupidity….

    If there are in fact “code words” being used, doesn’t that mean that there is some sort of huge, organized conspiracy out there?

    Is there a “code word” book that gets secretly mailed to fellow conspirists?

    And how come I’M never invited to a conspiracy? I mean, I’m a white male….I never get those cards reading ‘Greetings: You’re invited to participate in the Great Conspiracy Against Everybody. Here’s your code book. Keep it a secret.’

    I never get invited to any of the good conspiracies.

    Dear Mediaite,

    You give us too many stories about the pundits on Fox News and MSNBC as a proportion of all stories. Also, I don’t know what you can do about it, but the incivility of your comments sections are a turn off. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

  • golds1

    Interesting how libs can never seem to win an argument with him. Rush is the ultimate pragmatist. He sees individuals for what they are politically, and what they stand for as a person. He does not see color, groups, or class.

    I have yet to hear anyone challenge him in the forum of ideas. And I LOVE how he gets the left twisted up in knots…they can only come back with ad hominem attacks – which is their modus operandi in most cases, anyway. The proof will be most of the lib comments to this post.

    Listen to him with an open mind, and you’ll agree – or not.

    Last night was the first time I saw a closed blog. I wish there would be more policing of the site too. It’s ok to be funny, but not crude.

  • SteveMG

    I won’t – and can’t – defend some of the things that Limbaugh says. He’s far too irresponsible and has this need to push things further simply to drive liberals crazy. That’s what he mostly cares about when he engages in some of the more extreme things he does. And when does engage in that activity and has that overriding goal, he throws decency and fairness out the window.

    There.

    However, it’s absurd to claim that Limbaugh is a “domestic terrorist” or is engaging in sedition. Opposing the policies of an Administration – something that every American has done at some time in their lives – is not sedition. Trying to undermine a government is sedition; trying to undermine an Administration is not.

    Yes, Limbaugh goes too far. But I think many of his critics – like this caller – go evern farther.

  • RowdyHoward

    Palin did say “you can actually see Russia, from land, here in Alaska.”

    ..which is true if you hike up some nearby mountains. Unfortunately, for the caller…this is not what makes her so laughable. It’s how she believed that by simply living next to Russia gave her insight to the actions of Russian government…and this, IS quite funny.

    …and Rush, come on…if you knew geography, you could have defended the statement. Well, Palin and Rush prove that it really does pay to be uninformed. Kevin, I admire your will to remain on the line for an hour and a half…next time don’t waste your views by showing up to class unprepared

    Saturday Night Live successfully convinced a large segment of America that Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house. She never said that. Tina Fey said that. Sarah Palin said you could see Russia from Alaska which is true. If idiot liberals would read something besides The Huffington Post and watch something besides MSNBC they would know that.

    I have never heard someone question the legitimacy of the president because he is black. I have heard them question him because of his refusal to provide a birth certificate. How does this make them racist? I am very against Obama and all he stands for yet I was backing black candidates for office 20 years ago. I backed them because of their stand on the issues not because they were black. The racist in this country are those who voted for him because he is black and they wanted to make a statement by voting him in because he is black and not because of his stand on the issues. They also call anyone who disagrees with him because of his stand on the issues a racist. How racist is that?

    Well, here’s a few examples:

    “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”

    “The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

    “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

    “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

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

    You’re a foreigner. You shut your mouth or you get out.”

    OK, that last one os actually xenophobic, but it’s a good illustration of Rush’s thought process. He’s clearly a racist, or at least he plays one on the radio…

Perhaps you didn’t include it because it was a LIB that came up with it. And the Donovan McNabb quote, which clearly was a comment about media bias and NOT racism. Oh and calling BO an affirmative action candidate. Perhaps you left that one out because there’s a GREAT case to be made that that is true and in no way racist.

    Thanks for exposing yourself as a Northern liberal. It explains a lot. New York? East coast somewhere perhaps?

    Anyway, I suspect you have no idea about the South other than what your liberal professors and Hollywood have told you. You should keep pronouncements like you made to yourself. They only put your ignorance on bold, neon lighted display.

    To highlight your stupidity, you said that the term “black liberation theology” was one of those code words that are used by the vast right wing conspiracy.

    If you’d bother to even look it up you’d find that the term wasn’t coined by the right, but by the left and goes back to the mid-1960′s interpretation of Christian scripture by black ministers.

    The rest of your accusations fall right in line with this one and are straight up stupid.

    In case you can’t tell, I live in the Very Deep South, and I resent being tagged as racist by fools. Want to debate the facts of your charge? Bring it. But save you racism slurs for your conversations about the south with your friends. If you have any.

    What really will have Leftists dripping with rabies is the simple fact that this episode will evaporate, Rush’s dominance will continue, and the world will go back to excoriating Obama at every turn. Happily, the UK press is only too happy to help; Obama decided to douse the UK with cold water and they’ve responded in kind by dumping hot oil on him. It’ll continue, too, and with each story we’ll see how inept our own Obama-loving media is.

    RowdyHoward says: Palin did say “you can actually see Russia, from land, here in Alaska.”

    She did not say it.

    This comes from a Yahoo Answers post that does not favor Palin:

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110203163044AAfNxKi

    Palin claimed first that she saw Russian planes fly over Alaska, that Russia could be seen from parts of Alaska, and also that Canada was a foreign country which was next to Alaska. She then stated that she was “neighbors with Russia and Canada” as though this would add up to actual experience in foreign policy. “Saturday Night Live” then had Tina Fey impersonate the vacuous and arrogantly ignorant Palin to spoof this Katie Couric interview, and Tina Fey’s character uttered the “I can see Russia from my house” phrase that was attributed to Palin.

    Please review the YouTube interview of Palin by Couric: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk8moOxzlGQ

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    I see Liberal Tormentor has no explanation for the blatantly racist quotes I posted. Possibly because there is no way to defend such things? And furthermore, the difference between those people you mentioned and Rush is that Rush CONSISTENTLY makes such comments dating back to before he even had a nationally syndicated radio show.

    Recommendation: This listener should use the “Off/On” switch if they don’t like the content or style of Rush Limbaugh. No one forces you to listen to Rushbo! However I feel Rush has struck a nerve and the man is deeply trouble by listening to the facts. I would be curious about the IQ of the caller, I would not have the patience to put up with a half wit calling into my show!

  • Liberal Tormentor (formerly Seeing 2012 From My Window)

    UNreasonable lib, I did address them by saying you libs are famous for cherry picking quotes out of context. I also specifically addressed a couple. How about the ones I posted? I didn’t hear any outrage at Herman Cain being called a “porch monkey”. I don’t hear you calling Biden and Clinton racists.

    I see Liberal Tormentor has no explanation for the blatantly racist quotes I posted. Possibly because there is no way to defend such things? And furthermore, the difference between those people you mentioned and Rush is that Rush CONSISTENTLY makes such comments dating back to before he even had a nationally syndicated radio show.

    You know what? Then you have the right to not listen to it. Case solved. :)

    If you can’t understand Rush’s schtick then turn the dial off.

    I don’t listen to Limbaugh all that much but I happened to be listening when this caller was on. Schneider has characterized the call fairly but neglected one thing. Limbaugh kept pressing the caller for examples of for example Sarah Palin’s stupidity. The guy couldn’t name one thing to cite to him just laughing because he apparently believed that Palin is self evidently an idiot and no actual evidence was needed to support his claim. But here’s the kicker, when pressed further by Limbaugh the caller finally did name one example of Palin’s stupidity, …which was the famous Tina Fey parody quote “I can see Russia from my backyard” which of course Palin did not say.

    Rush gave the guy plenty of rope to hang himself with and he didn’t disappoint. The rant at the end was really nothing special or out of the ordinary but in this call exemplified the usual boilerplate slams on Limbaugh which this caller given lots of air time to substantiate, could not.

    Well, I think an obvious example of Rush’s racism is back from 2004, when he chided Sen. Kerry for discussing the importance of rap and not standing up for “white music”.

    Because you know, rap is the exclusive domain of “the black people” (to quote George Lowe), and groups and artists, like 3rd Bass, Beastie Boys, Sage Francis, Eminem, mc chris, etc. simply are figments of everyone’s imagination.

    Well, isn’t this just interesting; Rush gets mediaite headlines so they cover this story, but the racist attack on conservative black Herman Cain still goes ignored here.

    no surprises there, a liberal lefty loon shows his true colours, and mediaite, in all good liberal loony faith, hides the story, spikes it, ignores it and circles the wagon around their liberal loony buds.

    Erm, Republicans are more racist in general, especially the Tea-Bag people. That’s why they were all exchanging racists emails during the elections and midterm elections.

    You can say whatever you want, bring up something a “liberal” blogger said months ago… but really, it doesn’t change the fact that minortities don’t like the Republican party. Almost no blacks or hispanics vote Republican because you guys ARE racist.

    Examples? The entire Republican agenda of getting rid of welfare, trying to get rid of social programs, underfunding inner-city education, I could go on…. Republicans don’t have to say it in words (their Tea Party friends will instead), but they say through their legislation that they think blacks/minorities and anyone living near the poverty line doesn’t matter.

    So please stop trying to change history…. because Republicans never even had black people in their public image until Obama started to run. Pathetic.

    I always like this tormented logic. Please don’t mix ideology with party. The conservative party of the mid-1800s to the early modern era was the Democrat party. It was the party of slavery, white supremacists, separatists, segregationists and Jim Crow. This is the reason there was almost not a single black person elected to govt on the Democratic party platform during this time. They were all Republicans. That political dynamic however had shifted by the 60′s due to ideology when the Republican party became (or started to be) the conservative party as they started pandering to the alienated segregationist (southern Democrats). Face it. That camp is now comfortable in the GOP. It’s the reason why black Democrats outnumber black Republicans TODAY. We are talking of the present. You are trying through elaborate sophistry to claim that the GOP (today) is not the party harboring these people.

    Nazi’s were big on socialism long before fascism. They were also big on universal health care. They also were big on propaganda. Kinda like class warfare, racism, evil bankers, evil rich, and climate fraud, so it seems! They were into aborting babies that were not pure, eugenics (see the abortion rate on black babies), and they abhorred religion, and gays! Sounds like modern day liberalism to me. Only liberals pretend to like gays, as they are quite often calling some one gay in a less than affectionate tone all the time.

If someone like Maher, Maddow, or Olbermann on the left had said it, and it wasn’t covered here — I would buy your argument. To me that liberal blogger is a vile POS. No excuses from me for that garbage.

    But you give the race baiters Sharpton and Jackson a pass, or are they conservatives too?

    I always like this tormented logic. Please don’t mix ideology with party. The conservative party of the mid-1800s to the early modern era was the Democrat party. It was the party of slavery, white supremacists, separatists, segregationists and Jim Crow. This is the reason there was almost not a single black person elected to govt on the Democratic party platform during this time. They were all Republicans. That political dynamic however had shifted by the 60’s due to ideology when the Republican party became (or started to be) the conservative party as they started pandering to the alienated segregationist (southern Democrats). Face it. That camp is now comfortable in the GOP. It’s the reason why black Democrats outnumber black Republicans TODAY. We are talking of the present. You are trying through elaborate sophistry to claim that the GOP (today) is not the party harboring these people.

    LOL. Yes the parties just switched roles just like that. The democrat party back then as now uses propaganda to paint their opponents with the motives they themselves are using. Because of that the blacks joined the Democrats who were and are oppressing them and the KKK moved to the Republicans. The lines are not as well drawn today but due to other issues most of the Democrats and Republicans still believe in the same values today as they did yesterday. While many KKK members switched to the Republican party they are not as welcome as liberals want to believe.

    I listed to Mr. Limbaugh, and typical liberal attitude about what really was said. Mr. Limbaugh asked several times for this caller to give examples of these allegations, he was blowing about. Man of course couldn’t. And for his information Sarah Palin did not say, “I can see Russia from my house”, as Mr. Limbaugh said she did not. The fact is that Tina Fey first made that statement of Saturday Night Live. Of course the liberal media and Obama himself lied about the source of the statement.
    Point being that get your facts straight and your allegations verified before you open your mouth. So many are suffering from what I call. MM no BA. Mouth moving no brain activity.

    Bush had one of the lowest unemployment rates in American history, so obviously there are factors. And guess, what, cupcake??? Neither are president today. Did you know that?

    And sweetpea, I am no defender of Bush, but he was nowhere near the socialist we have today, and was not afraid to call a terrorists a terrorist, evil, evil, or a dictator a dictator. And he NEVER bowed to anyone particularly on foreign soil.

    From an article that you would hate:

    Bush had some unique economic challenges. He had the 2001 recession and that year’s terror attack. And, Commerce secretary Carlos Gutierrez noted, Bush faced lingering fallout from the bursting of the stock market bubble in 2000. He also was confronted with a wave of corporate accounting scandals that rocked Wall Street — and with Iraq war beginning in 2003.
    The economy lost jobs in 2001 and 2002. Since then jobs have been growing each year — including 2006, when the economy was hit by the real-estate bust.
    Those jolts did affect jobs on Bush’s watch, economists say. Yet they see deeper reasons for slower job growth, too.
    “The principal reason is that the labor force has grown much more slowly during the president’s term than under the presidencies of Clinton and Reagan and that has nothing to do with anything but demographics,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com.
    Baby boomers — a huge block of workers — poured into the work force in the 1980s and were rising through the ranks in the 1990s. That’s not the case now as boomers face retirement, and there are fewer young people to take their places.

    Nope. They just didn’t “switch” overnight. It was a gradual change over decades in political ideology. The disenfranchisement of blacks in the south and the mass migration of those blacks from the south to the west and north had a role in it. FDR’s New Deal attracted blacks to the Democrat camp and it culminated with the civil rights movement. I will agree with the last statement in your post, but what do you say when a sitting MS Gov refuses to publically repudiate a group wanting to commemorate Nathan Bedford Forrest on license plates? This is a potential presidential candidate too! I will tell you this, if Barbour had been a Democrat or liberal, he would have done it IMMEDIATELY. That’s the difference between the two parties. One allows racial dog whistle politics to occur and absolves itself from political fallout by feigning ignorance.

    Let’s see … as recent as last year, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) said, in regard to a planned military build-up on Guam: “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.”

    Dude should have Googled, Limbaughs racist comments. He’d have had plenty of examples to choose incliding “Obama nad Oprah are only sucessful because they’re black.”

    Selective editing as usual. You have to put Limbaugh’s remarks in their proper context — he was mocking a statement by liberal columnist Cynthia Tucker.

    TUCKER: “Michael Steele is a self-aggrandizing, gaffe-prone incompetent who would have been fired a long time ago were he not black. Of course the irony is that he never would have been voted in as chairman of the Republican Party were he not black.”

    This argument is old and tired.

    If you are going to accuse someone of racism, you better be damn sure you know what’s in the heart of the person.

    The problem with your argument is that Rush has spelled out countless times that he’s not racist, and that regardless of color he wants prosperity for everyone in the country.

    So in the least if you are going to cherry pick what you consider “racist” comments, you need to consider his entire body of work. What you consider racism, others consider telling it like it is.

    Rush is never going to be defined through the prism of someone who is his political enemy.

    The worst kind of racists aren’t the ones in KKK robes. The worst kind of racists are racists in denial.

    Isn’t that statement a contradiction? Racist are racist…peroid. No matter what race. And we are all guilty of it to one degree or another.

    Rush Limbaugh isn’t racist, you want to see racism? Here, let me show you a few examples from LIBERALS:

    Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating watermelons and tacos” to learn how to read and write.” — Mike Wallace, CBS News. Source: Newsmax

    “Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey’s cars?”
    – Left-wing radio host Neil Rogers

    (On Clarence Thomas) “A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom.” — Spike Lee

    “He’s married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn’t want to be black.”

    – California State Senator Diane Watson’s on Ward Connerly’s interracial marriage

    “I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
    – Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One according Ronald Kessler’s Book, “Inside The White House”

    “There’s no great, white bigot; there’s just about 200 million little white bigots out there.” — USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux

    “We have lost to the white racist press and to the racist reactionary Jewish misleaders.” — Former Rep. Gus Savage (D-Illinois) after his defeat 1992

    “White folks was in caves while we was building empires… We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” — Rev. Al Sharpton in a 1994 speech at Kean College, NJ, cited in “Democrats Do the Dumbest Things

    See? That IS racist. So can we please deal with the real racism on the left before attacking the imagined racism on the right?

    huh, I just noticed you changed your headline, Matty. At least it’s more honest than the original.

    a guy who uses the term “negro dialect” calls Rush racist?

    i love how his one example isn’t even true – that Palin could see Russia from her house.

    point goes to Rush.

    I have never heard someone question the legitimacy of the president because he is black. I have heard them question him because of his refusal to provide a birth certificate. How does this make them racist? I am very against Obama and all he stands for yet I was backing black candidates for office 20 years ago. I backed them because of their stand on the issues not because they were black. The racist in this country are those who voted for him because he is black and they wanted to make a statement by voting him in because he is black and not because of his stand on the issues. They also call anyone who disagrees with him because of his stand on the issues a racist. How racist is that?

    How many White Presidents can you name that people demanded to see birth certificates for?

    Second, which “black candidates” did you support 20 years ago?

    How many white presidents were allegedly born in Hawaii, had a Kenyan father, and grew up in Indonesia for a few years? How many white presidents come from a Muslim background? How many write that they associated with Marxists in college? Obama’s a very special man indeed.

    Oh, and don’t you remember the liberals questioning John McCain’s legitimacy because he had been born in the Panama Canal zone and some liberals think that wasn’t American territory back then?

    A–John McCain was NEVER President.
    B–LOL…how do you “KNOW” where ANY of the past Presidents were born?

    “From 1900 to 1946 the U.S. Census Bureau designed standard birth certificates, collected vital statistics on a national basis, and generally sought to improve the accuracy of vital statistics. In 1946 that responsibility was passed to the U.S. Public Health Service. ”

    You TRUST the US Census Bureau and the US Public Health Service??? Those are BIG GOVERNMENT Agencies!!! Why, Michelle Bachmann believes the Census is little more than a subversive plot by ACORN to usurp power…
    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5095844-503544.html

    Wait, it all makes sense now. White Presidents–US Census–Birth Certificates–ACORN—Greg are you saying that Michele Bachmann is a liar and that you TRUST the word of Big Government regarding the Birth Records of ALL the Presidents before Obama?

    Let’s not forget Oblamea speaking to fallen soldiers and commenting on the 57 states.

    Just Rush’s command of the English language sends progressive fascists into a snit fit. I don’t think they can even brush their teeth or comb the lice out of their hair when the Rushmeister begins to orate.
