"In a remark extraordinary even by the standards of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing radio heavyweight declared on his program Wednesday that the United States needed to return to racially segregated buses.
Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “I think the guy’s wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama’s America.”
A full transcript of Limbaugh’s comments on his radio show is available at MediaMatters.org.
Limbaugh’s comments came after a called complained to say that local law enforcement said the attack probably wasn’t racially motivated. The incident had been hyped by the conservative Drudge Report, which posted a video of the fracas.
“Police initially said the beating of the white student by two black students appeared to be racially motivated,” the Associated Press wrote. “But police on Tuesday backed away from that.”
That didn’t stop Limbaugh from making his comments Wednesday.
“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,” Limbaugh also said. “I wonder if Obama’s going to come to come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard.”
“White Americans are racists who have created what they call free markets that really just enslave the rest of America and her trading partners,” Limbaugh also mocked. “I mean, it was white Americans that ran off Van Jones. No, look, let’s just follow Eric Holder’s advice and not be cowards about all this. Let’s have an open conversation, an honest conversation about all of our typical white grandmothers. You had one, I had one. Obama had one. They’re racists just like our students are. ACORN — hey, nothing but racism fueling the pursuit of ACORN.”
Limbaugh also suggested that racism itself was acceptable.
“If sexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked. “I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things.”
The second set of comments occur in the audio clip below."

LOL
I was thinking the same thing!
This is why MediaMatters and ThinkProgress have no credibility.
Clearly tongue-in-cheek.
way way way over his head.Actually his day job is as a correspondent for msnbc.
rush got fired because he's a racist. but this time....he's just being his boring self.
If you're talking about the McNabb controversy . . . Rush was fired because he said the NFL, its fans, and sports media were racist, not because he was racist.
un huh
...projecting...
That kid got jacked up. He should have fought back. He straight armed/pushed the 2nd kid and he left him alone. I think he could have took him. Maybe he was the Ghandi type.
I am posted this here because it made me laugh and I'm sure it is posted somewhere on this crazy site! Nothing to do with thread.

Just because Limbaugh is an expert on bus station bathrooms....
Rush Limbaugh, anti-racist avenger!
I think Yoni just joined that club too.

hopes4dopes, anti-racist zealot-in-residence.
And you whinehole, you silly little goose...... you are
The Mr. Blackwell of Spurstalk.
Who?
I think he was wrong about McNabb. McNabb is/was good.
I'm definitely not saying he's an anti-racist avenger.
I'm basically saying he played the race card, badly, and was wrong about it.
Who is Limbaugh satirizing? Glenn Beckkk?
do you think the people who get their real news from know that?
On a side not I really wish you hush nut huggers would welcome him as the voice of the consevrative movement..
really? How so? They point out on a regular basis how talk radio lies and distorts the truth with full transcripts. Unlike talk radio who routinely make their claims based on partial soundbites.. I guess that goues way pver your head.
