      The man who's BFF with Hal Turner and gives racist rehab to Dog Chapman and Andy Martin "agrees completely" with calling the 48-year-old US President a "child."

      BIIIIIIIIIG surprise . . . not.

      ...he lisped, while he told his guests they were in his Cool People's Club and shouted at anyone who disagreed with them that they hated America.

      What Obama has done, is called out Fox for what it really is. He has not picked a fight or war like Fox claims. To call him "immature" and "picks fights with anyone who disagrees with him" is flat out wrong. There is having an apposing view, which Obama is happy to have, and just lying your heads off about everything.

      The only one being immature and hypocritical is Fox. They go after Van Jones, after a group that he's associated with gets most of Beck's advertiser's pulled, and destroy his career by calling him a czar and a communist. I forget her name dammit...she was the first to call out Fox. They went and called her a "Mao Lover" and everything else just because she made a comment about them.

      Reminds me of a time of some type of bondage and Jim...some time of bird...something...about being separate but equal and being able to refer to a certain group of people as boy or child and not have a second thought....

      Limbaugh's word choice, "man-child," could be an allusion to President Obama's Kenyan roots. In the Kenyan Kikuyu tribe tradition, a "man-child" is a male, 13 to 16, ready for rites of passage. The term abounds in literature, fact and fiction. For example, readers of Robert Ruark's 1955 novel, "Something of Value," will see repeated references to the "man-child." The book's theme is the Kenyan Mau Mau uprising against British rule. Most Mau Mau were Kikuyu. I don't recall whether the term "man-child" is used in the 1957 film version of the same name (starring Rock Hudson and Sidney Poitier; Turner Classic Movies occasionally shows it).
      I'm not suggesting Limbaugh is subliminally linking Obama to 1950s Kenyan terrorists. But if El Rushbo's "man-child" reference stems from "Something of Value" or other books and movies concerning Kikuyu tribesmen, it could merely be a suggestion that Kenya is the American president's place of birth. More than a few Republicans would buy that.

        It is possible that limpaugh, among his great literary collection, possibly has, and has read, Rurark's "Something of Value", or perhaps he simply recalled the term from his many off-hours private study of African anthropology. Or he could be substituting the term "man-child" for "boy", being consious of the negative prejudicial connotations that the use of "boy" would have.

        Hmmmm... Knowing limpaugh's history, which seems more likely?

      Oh! So you agree you are exactly like Rushie? If you read the definition Hannity, I will bet you fit that discription perfectly!

      Obama is immature? Obama is a child? At least Obama knows how to dress himself. He knows how to put his socks on and how to button his shirt.
