Limbaugh repeatedly refers to Obama as a "boy" and a "man-child"
On his October 27 radio show, Rush Limbaugh referred to President Obama as "this little boy, this little man-child president." Limbaugh has repeatedly referred to Obama as a "boy" and as a "man-child", including calling him "the little boy president" and claiming that Democrats and the media criticize "so-called 'ferocious attacks' " on Obama because "you can't criticize the little black man-child."
Limbaugh frequently calls the president a "boy" and a "man-child"
Limbaugh calls Obama "this little boy, this little man-child president." While discussing what he characterized as Obama's "attacks" on Fox News and "ambush" of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Limbaugh said: "People are finally standing up to this little boy, this little man-child president, whose primary -- I think his primary job, if you will, in life has been leisure." [Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, 10/27/09]
Limbaugh on college "thesis" he said Obama wrote: "[T]his little boy in college" had "disdain" for Constitution. During discussion of a report about a "college thesis" Obama had purportedly written, which later was revealed to have been fake, Limbaugh claimed: "And this little boy in college, writing about [the Constitution] with utter disdain, and he still shares those same feelings." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 10/23/09]
Limbaugh says that with digitized health records, "little man-child" Obama would be able to "blackmail you" and "deny you treatment." Warning that the digitization of medical records would let the government "blackmail" patients and deny them treatment, Limbaugh asserted, "Every day, this little man-child reaches out and grabs something else." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 6/18/09]
On Beck, Limbaugh calls Obama a "full-fledged man-child narcissist." Appearing on Fox News' Glenn Beck, Limbaugh stated of Obama: "The man's a pure, full-fledged man-child narcissist who has to make everything about him. And while he's talking about protecting us and defending us and so forth, the Federal Reserve yesterday came out and said the economic forecast for the rest of the year is even worse." [Glenn Beck, 5/21/09]
Limbaugh: "[T]he little boy president went out there and did something absolutely ignorant and stupid." Referring to Senate Democrats' plan to block funding for the closure of the Guantánamo Bay detention center until a decision was made about where to put the detainees, Limbaugh stated: "I tell ya, this is cover for Obama, 'cause the little boy president went out there and did something absolutely ignorant and stupid, and he's got to be covered for it now." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 5/20/09]
Discussing Obama, Limbaugh suggests Dems, media believe "you can't criticize the little black man-child." On his radio show, Limbaugh asserted of attacks by Sen. John McCain against then-Sen. Barack Obama: "[S]ee, there are Democrats -- the drive-bys" -- a term Limbaugh uses to denote the national media -- "are just so upset with these so-called 'ferocious attacks.' These have been benign. Even the Britney Spears/Paris Hilton ad was funny. It was benign." He later added: "It's -- you know, it's just -- it's just we can't hit the girl. I don't care how far feminism's saying, you can't hit the girl, and you can't -- you can't criticize the little black man-child. You just can't do it, 'cause it's just not right. It's not fair. He's such a victim." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 8/20/08]
Limbaugh's history of racially charged remarks
Limbaugh has a history of making racially charged remarks about Obama. Media Matters for America has documented numerous racially charged or insensitive remarks Limbaugh has made about Obama, including his comments that "[w]e are being told that we have to hope [Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles ... because his father was black" and that "Obama's entire economic program is reparations." Further, Limbaugh stated that "in Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering" and referred to Obama as a "Halfrican-American."

I like Elmer Fudd as a Cartoon Character, but not as someone to Emulate.
Let's have a moment of Silence for Elmer Fudd, a name used way too often to Castigate.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
Ever heard of Donovan McNabb? I'm just wondering here.
Okay, so we have ample proof of Rush's racism toward the president of the USA and a link to a story about Rush's racism toward a football player... shall I keep going??
http://newsone.com/obama/top-10-racist-limbaugh-quotes/
It's like they think we're as clueless as they are!
Say anything that Rush said to a black person and see what they say.He don't say good things about black people.
Considering the drug addled gas bag is still a junkie... I'm surprised he is able to stay clear-minded enough to keep from saying that particular word.
Honestly, are you even trying to be credible here? Let's just pretend that ALL of his dislike of the president must be racist, 'cause Obama is so great it's impossible to disagree with his policies unless you are racist somehow? Rush is a rough guy, get over it. He makes a living out of saying inflammatory things on the air and purposefully noticing it and pretending to be surprised is never going to change it. Furthermore, it's not illegal to hate people, and it really shouldn't be, not unless you're big on thought control. Let's follow the rule: No harm, no foul - and hurt feelings don't count as "harm."
Where, exactly, is there a lack of credibility?
Also, when you get a chance, read the mission statement of this web site."
Are you trying to be taken seriously or is your intent to be seen as a circus clown??
First of all.... what 'liberal' president are you talking about?? If Obama was a liberal we would have had Medicare For All within his first week in office!
Second of all, this is not about Rush having the right to speak his racism, it is about MMfA and we posters exposing that racism!
Third, you must be assuming that Rush has thin skin and can't handle his racism being exposed!
He's a big, fat cowardly and effeminate whiner.He is a sissy boy.
See, dum-dum, the issue here isn't that Limbaugh doesn't like the political philosophy of Obama or that he doesn't personally like Obama. If that was all there was, then you'd have a point. As it is, all you have is a strawman argument. It's that he is using insulting, demeaning, and racist comments to describe the President, his President, our President.
How shallow of you to think that's the case. What it really turns out to be is that you would behave that way - you would criticize someone like Rush Limbaugh did to Obama solely on a personal attack level. That's not what we are doing here, but thanks for making clear that you would behave that way.
"...impossible to disagree with his policies unless you are racist somehow? Rush is a rough guy, get over it."
Why do raciist lie the Klan, Aryan Nation, and Stormfront support Limbaugh?Because he is a racist.He's also a coward, he didn't go to Vietnamwhile Rev. Wright who had a college deferrment signed up twice ,once in the Navy and again in the Marines.
I questioned one of the wingnuts on "boy king", and got the explanation that it was a reference to Kibg Tut, as if that made sense.
But you're right, Obama is about the same age as I am, pushing 50,and the idea of somebody with the infantile sense of humor and view of reality that Boss Hogg has calling Obama immature in any way is pretty ridiculous.
The distinction of "as if that made sense" for the "boy king" phrase is key. The only thing that came to mind for that was King Tut, which is a completely incoherent reference. "Golden boy" does make sense, whether you agree with the underlying premise or not. "Mike's the golden boy, the boss thinks he can't do anything wrong". I've heard that for forty+ year-old white men before. If the same person used the same phrase about a black man a couple of years later, any suggestion that they were a closet racist would be completely baseless. So what you have to wonder is if people using the phrase for Obama have previously used it in reference to a white person. How the hell would you know?
That phrase has built-in plausible deniability.
I don't think I'm being oversensitive, as I don't think all of these are used with racist intent, and never said so. I'm sure some repeat them without even thinking about the racist element (consciously, at least). I'm just making the observation that the collective use of these different terms seems to be a sort of "safe outlet" for those who don't have the nerve to shout out slurs.
but one certainly does not need to be oversensitive to see rush for the racist he is..
So I wouldn't categorize that as "plausible" deniability. This is the same distinction I'm making between "boy king" and "golden boy". "Boy king" makes no sense unless it's aimed at race, so there's really no "plausible" deniability for that code.
If you think that some people may get a "Beavis and Butthead"-like enjoyment out of the presence of "boy" in any phrase, that may be. My issue is with the confusion of whole-to-part with part-to-whole reasoning that was implied with "I guess that's close enough to let them relieve some of the pressure of not being able to say the N word, and far enough (in their minds) to have some plausible deniability." That suggested to me that people who use that term can be reasonably concluded to be closet racists.
(And, the moment you take your BS out into the general public and stand like a man in front of a real audience you will earn the right to call someone a "man-child", you worthless drug addict.)
Or how about the Death Panels bull he has been puking out lately? No death panels. Just another GOP lie that Rush loves to spout.
Want more? There are plenty.
That's much too easy, TC. Just take the top quote above:
President Obama is 48 years old, 6'1" tall, has two university degrees, and is famous for his calm demeanor and adult manner of speaking. Limbaugh, who is pretty much the opposite, was not just giving an opinion, but was making a statement that is flat-out wrong.
Good enough? If not, there are hundreds more. Feel free to use the search feature at the top of the page.
Now, I've got a much harder task for you--name one thing Rush has said that was true.
Honestly, who is more the adult?
Impressive: accusing others of childish finger-pointing one moment and then offering the word "Duh" as an argument the next.
To answer your question, no, this is not third grade. This is the grown up world where adults are responsible for what they say and can be criticized.
As for one thing Rush has said that isn't true, where should I start? Just on the subject of race alone a couple of examples come to mind immediately. There was the time Limbaugh argued that recent scientific research supported his contention that "blacks can't swim". And then there was the time he identified Sherrod Brown as black for no reason other than his name and accused the New York Times of ignoring the racial component of news involving Brown because he's black... even though he isn't.
Don't get me wrong. I defend Limbaugh's right to race bait and make racist remarks, just as I defend his right to say things that are completely untrue. But it's possible to defend his rights while still criticizing him for saying those things.
Limbaugh was traveling with an all male group.
So his use of the phrase "MAN CHILD or BOY" has yet another sinister connotation.
What a disgusting human being.
(this is all done in the FOX style of reporting.. how did I Do?)
Rush has yet to prove his viagra was legally dispensed. He claims it is a matter of privacy. The same privacy he won't afford his political enemies. Therefore it is fair game question if he got it illegally in a sex trade country.
"And all your references to his personal life are irrelevant"
When he is a mouthpiece for the rabid right and has no qualms smearing other people over their personal life then he is fair game.
If he can't take it then he can always quit instead of sobbing like a sissy.
I think calling a black man a "boy child" or "little man" is racist that is my opinion.
If Republicans believe that Rush is their talking head, and it seems they do. I wouldn't call them conservatives, they are acting crazy and have been for a long time now and have brought our country to our knees and I do not believe that is conservative, I believe that Capitalist which at this point has gone way overboard and it is is not reigned in we a going down the tubes. If we continue to have a military that consumes to much of our countries resources the same thing will happen.
A childless man with multiple "unconsumated" marriages who has to use Viagra to get it up when is cruising little boys in Puerto Rico.
Limbaugh absolutely cannot stand the fact that President Obama has something that he will never have - a functioning d!@k between his legs.
He is So Pathetic.
His only reasonable accomplishments so far have been with the early decisions about Afghan war and the decision to shoot the pirates. Since the 100 day mark, he has become embroiled in dis-ing FNC, dis-ing the Chamber of Commerce, dis-ing banks, politic planning, speeches to support Dem candidates, golf and date night but not leading the country and certainly not "bringing us together".
He better shape up or it is a sure thing he'll be a one term-er and ranked right alongside Jimmy in presidential skills and accomplishments.
