Rush Limbaugh On ‘Minorities’: Obama ‘Regime’ Will Support ‘A Minority Of The Worst Scum On Earth’

Rush Limbaugh doesn’t seem to support Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, but he’s getting dangerously close to endorsing his UN-sanctioned actions against civilians. Expressing concerns about the possible successors to Gaddafi, Limbaugh noted that much of the opposition to Gaddafi in America is a “leftist position” that “any rebel is an oppressed minority,” even if they are “the worst scum on earth.”

Limbaugh’s chief concern on his program today appeared to be whether America was “playing the role of enabler” for Sharia law in Libya– certainly a point that Gaddafi has raised in his defense– you’ll recall Gaddafi claiming that the rebellion was prompted by a chemical (opiate) attack on his people by Al Qaeda. “Are we doing their dirty work?” he asked, while noting that “they” was an ambiguous concept at the moment– all the more reason to beware. “We can topple the regime in Libya if we want,” he noted, “but what would follow it? If it’s the Muslim Brotherhood, we are advancing Sharia law.” He continued to note that helping a new regime would be “handing over an oil-rich country to a theologically-driven crime syndicate,” as opposed Gaddafi, who is not theologically driven.

After making the point that replacing Gaddafi with “criminals” would somehow make a difference, Limbaugh broadened his scope to criticize the left for supporting the opposition in Libya. “We have a regime which sees any rebel as an oppressed minority,” he noted, possibly meaning the Obama administration, which is a government and not a regime, although he could have been arguing that the reason America upholds a regime of constitutional republicanism is to protect ideological minorities. Limbaugh then made it clear that he really, really doesn’t like “minorities”:

“You could have a minority of the worst scum on earth. You’ve got people who are sympathetic to them because they’re a minority and they think minorities are eating excrement sandwiches all day… there are people who live in this regime– leftists who have that position.”

Well, then. Rush Limbaugh seems to really dislike minorities– which, applying zero-sum, with-us-or-against-us foreign policy principles, puts him on Team Gaddafi.
