- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -13/+31Who cares what Rush may have said? He's not running for office. Obama is desperate.
- inigomntoya, on 09/17/2008, -3/+11What the hell?
"Rush does NOT support Obama. Rush HATES your relatives who are crossing the boarder illegally. Vote for Obama, because he neither supports nor is supported by Rush Limbaugh."
Genius! - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -3/+10Liberals rarely think and when you mention "Rush Limbaugh" their ability to think rationally decreases by 99%. "Stupid Mexicans" != "All Mexicans are stupid". This is obvious, but it escapes liberals, who are programmed to hate any who oppose them.
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -6/+13Sorry, but there is a difference in "Mexicans are stupid" vs. Stupid Mexicans. The first one says that they all are that way. The second one says that there are some (not all) that are stupid. You need to be more careful about the order of the words just like you have to worry about the order of operations in math.
This also makes Rush correct when he said he never said "Mexicans are stupid." Additionally, this is just another fabricated truth from Obama. - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -8/+14Isn't Obama the one who says that he is above this type of dirty smear politics? Oh, that's right. He's only against it when people are questioning his close friends, his record, or the way he neglects his poor brother who lives on less than a dollar a month. I guess it's fair for Obama to attack McCain for what a radio host who until recently was pretty open in his dislike of all things McCain says.
/sarc - tcbishop12, on 09/17/2008, -8/+13HAPPILY EVER NAFTA AWARD II -- Rush Limbaugh
"If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine 'cause those are the kinds of jobs NAFTA is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do -- let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work." Limbaugh's economic wisdom: Only stupid people lose their jobs. - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -1/+5...and who—all three of them so far—despite the ability to "Digg down," lack the cajones/chutzpa/intellect to respond w/logic-driven refutation.
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -8/+11So Obama is taking a page from the Bill Clinton style of politics, eh? I guess he didn't realize that Rush's influence has only grown since the Clinton years, making him much less of an appealing target (except to radical leftists). He's also shown an incredible stupidity in attacking Rush as though Rush was a cheerleader for McCain. I mean, geez. Everyone who knows anything about Rush knows that he is NO fan of McCain. The song "Maverick John McCain" comes to mind. Barack, do your homework!
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -4/+7This is an Obama ad? Is Rush running for president? How many people is BHO running against?
- inactive, on 09/18/2008, -0/+2Oh, goody, just what the US needs: ANOTHER lib "doctor." "Physician, heal thyself."
Do us all a favor: Once—if—you've attained your sheepskin, don't interpolate diagnoses in the same way you "mind-read" someone else's thought processes. - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -2/+4Ridgeliner? Don't you simplyinvent quotes out of thin air?
Yes, yes you do:

There you go. Enjoy your day. I know I will. - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -4/+6...and who, despite their many & varied sheepskins, are unable to correctly hear/read/parse/understand their own native language.
- ambiguus, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Where in the article does it say Limbaugh denied saying this? It doesn't say anything to that extent....anyone?
- thelif, on 09/19/2008, -0/+1I don't know what is wrong with being a doctor and a liberal, my beliefs has no bearing on my work..
- Faubio, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1ROFL!!!!!
- Ganpachi, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1And Obama has even less of a relationship.
Question: What do you call the friends of your enemies? - solboldi, on 09/17/2008, -1/+2Yes, Obama is very desperate. What a giant sleazebag smearing McCain like this.
McCain has NO relationship with the blabbering Limbaugh.
McCain has condemned such racist comments during his campaign! - AWBoy666, on 09/18/2008, -1/+2First, hate crime laws do not allow for hispanics to be counted as perpretrators: http://www.ety.com/HRP/race/racestats.htm
"the current hate-crime classification system allows for Hispanics to be counted as victims of hate crimes, but never as perpetrators of such crimes. This, of course, artificially inflates the share of hate crimes committed by "whites.""
And anyways most interracial crimes in the US are committed by blacks against whites, just in case you were wondering.

Not sure what you are trying to use your comment for at all. Limbaugh does not equal McCain and even hates McCain. - inactive, on 09/18/2008, -0/+0What do you expect from a guy who rose through the Chicago machine so quickly?
- inactive, on 09/17/2008, -6/+6Here's another one where Limbaugh stated that Mexican immigrants who illegally enter the United States are "a renegade, potential[ly] criminal element" that is "unwilling to work."
From the March 27 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: One of the puzzling things about this to me, since President Bush has been in office, is his -- you know, he had a very close relationship with [Mexican President] Vicente Fox, and I don't --
CALLER: Right.
LIMBAUGH: I don't -- I -- I think the opposite of what you suggest is actually what's been happening. But look at it from Vicente Fox's point of view. I mean if -- if you had a -- a -- a renegade, potential criminal element that was poor and unwilling to work, and you had a chance to get rid of 500,000 every year, would you do it?
CALLER: Right.
LIMBAUGH: Yeah. - inactive, on 09/18/2008, -1/+1Did you see the quotation that's the SUBJECT of this article and the ad? It was from Limbaugh.
- solboldi, on 09/17/2008, -5/+5When Obama has close ties to Tony Rezko a now convicted felon, and Rev. Wright the America basher, and William Ayers the domestic terrorist he says those ties don't matter at all, but then he tried to tie McCain to Rush Limbaugh, who doesn't even like McCain???
McCain has NEVER worked with Limbaugh at all. NEVER.
Obama is the one with all the sleaze bag friends and working associates. And he pulls a desperate smear like this in a TV ad, yet accuses the Republicans of sleazy tactics???
What a hypocrite. - spankaccount, on 09/17/2008, -2/+1No source means it's Bull. Have a nice day.
- thelif, on 09/18/2008, -2/+1Sorry, I had to attend a medical school interview today. I'm not sure which of the 3 options that would be. If that were truly his intentions, he would have said "skilled workers and educated Mexicans" or "let stupid and uneducated people do that work." earlier in his phrasing. Repeat his statement to any Mexican and I'm sure they will get the same meaning and intent from Limbaugh as anyone else.
- Ridgeliner7, on 09/17/2008, -12/+10Pwnage?
Pwnage?
WTF.....you show someones website, where it claims Limbaugh said it, and thats some kind of proof? I can Google any of you, and find a page that claims you are ***** your own sister or mom, diddling little kids. And that proves what?
"Despite perceptions that John McCain has spent more time on the attack, Barack Obama aired more negative advertising last week than did the Arizona senator, says a new study released today.
Seventy-seven percent of the Illinois Democrat's commercials were negative during the week after the Republican convention, compared to 56 percent of the spots run by McCain. "
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09 ... - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -8/+6Hispanics in 2006 were considered by the FBI as the No. 1 victim of hate crimes motivated by one's ethnicity or national origin, and by a margin that was the highest since records have been kept.
Limbaugh has made his share of sophomoric remarks about Hispanics and immigration.
Not long ago, he aired a parody - a group calling itself "Jose y Los Ilegales" singing "The Star-Spanglish Banner," complete with Speedy Gonzales accents and offensive lyrics.
Limbaugh also took a shot at Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa by saying that, when they were introduced - by former President Bill Clinton, no less - Limbaugh thought the first Latino to serve as mayor of America's second-largest city in more than a century was "maybe a shoeshine guy."
http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/election_columnist ... - inactive, on 09/17/2008, -7/+4Comedian Rush Limbaugh say something racist? Nah. That would never happen. Unless he was on the radio, writing a book, talking about NFL football, scoring some oxycontin. . .
- quidpro, on 09/17/2008, -11/+6Nice Pwnage. That, plus the fact that Limbaugh "just denied on air", makes it specially delicious.

"If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine 'cause those are the kinds of jobs NAFTA is going to create.

Limbaugh
The linked article never said that Limbaugh did not say that.
Seriously that took 2 minutes to google.
