Limbaugh Wants Jim Crow Back: "We Need Segregated Buses"
This is a dangerous man. He actually carries more weight (no pun intended) with conservatives than Bilbo Beck!
I mean, think about it. I man with millions of "followers" (sheeple, extremists, fundamentalists) in America advocating segregation? What does THIS guy have to do to get canned? He has actually said a lot more offensive stuff than what Beck said, not that what Beck said is out of bounds because it most certainly is.
But if we can pressure advertisers to stop sponsoring hate speech coming from the mouth of Beck, why can't we stop the scurrilous stuff coming from Boss Hogg and his medicated mind? News flash: the meds ain't working! He's an ass on and off of them!
Limbaugh Wants Jim Crow Back: "We Need Segregated Buses"

In "Obama's America," Rush cries, "the white kids now get beat up."
Last week, a video of a school bus beating showing two African American children assaulting a white student began circulating the internet. Despite claims by authorities that the attack was not necessarily racially motivated, hate radio host Rush Limbaugh jumped on the story and claimed that in "Obama's America the white kids now get beat up." Yesterday, Limbaugh proposed a solution to this problem -- a return to segregated busing:
LIMBAUGH: 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.
