He's Racist

How out and out ridiculous is it that the country's biggest buffoon, Rush Limbaugh, is charging Sonia Sotomayor is a "reverse racist." He's racist!

How many times has he made racially insensitive and idiotic statements in just the last year alone? Good grief. The stuff that comes out of his mouth would plug up the sewer. All he's said about Colin Powell and Barack Obama.

Limbaugh is definitely an expert on racism, by personal experience. He ought to clean up his own act (and develop some humanity) before he feels righteous enough to take on someone else.

Uppity

Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, born 1950, a Georgia Republican, who called Barack Obama "uppity" now claims this:

"I've never heard that term used in a racially derogatory sense. It is important to note that the dictionary definition of 'uppity' is 'affecting an air of inflated self-esteem --- snobbish.' That's what we meant by uppity when we used it in the mill village where I grew up."

Strains credulity. Never heard the term used in a racially derogatory sense.

McCain Goes Racist

McCain falsely accuses Obama of "playing the race card" and thereby goes racist himself.

McCain took on the role of aggrieved victim, his campaign waiting almost a day after Obama's remarks to charge that he had injected race into the presidential campaign. "Barack Obama has played the race card, and he played it from the bottom of the deck. Its divisive, negative, shameful and wrong," McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said.

That's one way to do it. Accuse the other guy about what you yourself are doing. Making it explicit puts it into the discussion. John McCain said he'd rather lose the election than be wrong on the war. But he's not above the politics of personal destruction and running a racist campaign.
