Michael Wilbon, Washington Post sports columnist, writes:
I don’t listen to [Rush Limbaugh’s] show because his comments about people of color anger and offend me, and I’m not easily offended. I’m not going to try and give specific examples of things he has said over the years; I screwed up already doing that, repeating a quote attributed to Limbaugh (about slavery) that he has told me he simply did not say and does not reflect his feelings. I take him at his word.
But Limbaugh has long history of the same insults and race baiting, to the point of declaring he hoped the president of the United States, a black man, fails.
Limbaugh’s long history of racist comments offend him, but he can’t produce a single example of one, nor will he even try. Just trust him.
Oh wait, maybe he will try and given one example. Limbaugh wanted the president to fail. Obviously only a racist could want an extreme leftist president to fail in his efforts to remake the country. If that’s racism, then I’m sure Limbaugh does indeed have quite a long history of it.
