Rush Limbaugh: "Obama's America - White Kids Get Beat Up With The Black Kids Cheering" (AUDIO)

Rush Limbaugh couldn't resist trying to connect the brutal beating of one student by another on a school bus to President Obama, using it as an example of how Obama is somehow causing racism throughout the U.S.:

You put your kids on a school bus you expect safety but in Obama's America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering 'yeah, right on, right on, right on.' Of course everybody said the white kid deserved it he was born a racist, he's white.

In fact it would be Limbaugh who seems to have the racial hangup. The St. Louis-Dispatch reports that the beating was not racially motivated, as a Belleville police captain had originally speculated, but was instead incited by a pretty common dispute on school buses: choice of seating.

I wonder where Rush's analysis of The Cracker Barrel incident of the white man beating a black female reservist in front of her 7-year old daughter?

Just what is it that drives him and people like him? I mean, on the one hand, it seems unlikely that those pundits believe in anything except money. But Rush? I can't picture him rescinding any of it at any point in the future, come what may.

Limbaugh will never acknowledge his racism or admit that he incites it as well.
It’s just like an alcoholic, until one can admit their alcoholism, they can never be cured.

I’ve never seen nor heard Limbaugh say anything positive about blacks, only derogatory and negative things. And if anyone says anything negative about Blacks, or blame blacks for something, he will always side with them.

However, he sits in his chair and rails his negative judgments against blacks all the time, but proclaims that – he isn’t a Racist. Thus he will never be cured, because he will never admit it.

He has millions of dollars, but I know that as long as he carries hate in his heart toward a group of people, he will never truly be happy, as money can't buy him happiness. He doesn't even look happy sitting up in his high chair.

How Sad, I'm sure the man has no Peace Whatsoever!

I have to laugh every time I see something like this and then have to listen to those on the right say that race has nothing to do with their criticism of Obama.

I'm seeing this as a dangerous trend. The Right is so rabid right now about Obama, that they're spoiling for a fight---and at this point, I'm afraid that they're not going to be happy until this entire country is embroiled in a race war.

r a b i d right wing d o g s foaming at the mouth. They need to take the time to wipe the slobber off their mouths.

So I suppose there's never been an incident where white kids beat up a black kid on a bus? Only the right wing sees one side of the coin and not the other.

Not to mention all the school bus and high school brawls among the same racial lines.

Exactly! Also I am 50 and I can still remember fights in my school where everyone gathered around and cheered on one side or the other. So it makes me mad when they try to make that a part of why it is racial. It just happened on a bus with more blacks than whites so of course it is a bunch of black kids screaming but it does not mean it has anything to do with race, it has to do with immaturity!

They claim to be colorblind, but they always see "reverse racism" against whites and never see actual racism against people of color. That's not being colorblind, that's sticking your head up your @ss.

Hmmm...so, the FACT that historically (including present times) there have been/are SO MANY racially motivated assaults/deaths perpetrated by white on black BECAUSE of the skin color, incidents which have and have not (majority) makes the Front Page News, somehow makes this relevant?...

Are Americans that stupid? Nevermind, a non-answer would be sufficient.

Please write a letter to your congressperson, senators, local newspapers, and the FCC about Rush Limbaugh's racist radio program on September 15, 2009. You can do that here:

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Rush Limbaugh's America. Where a school fight is racially motivated, when it really isn't. Where you can openly root for the POTUS(who just happens to be the 1st African American POTUS) to fail and claim that it's not racially motivated.

I cannot tell you how many "harmless, typical schoolyard fights" are racially motivated in schools I have been to. I am NOT racist and I AM white. I am simply trying to shine the light on an obvious occurrence happening in today's society. Both whites and blacks are guilty of racial attacks.

I hold all races to high standards and it is hard when stupid fights like this, which no doubt had some racism involved, happen so that each race can take a jab at another.

I believe that the people that are a part of this behavior try to make themselves seem important through doing something easy, much like one in debate performing personal attacks on their opponent.

Races should not be opponents of each other, and should not seek to take revenge for past actions. I think that more blacks are trying to gain this revenge in today's time because of the Obama administration, which is not the fault of Obama AT ALL. Blacks have not experienced such leverage in America before and it will take time to sort these emotions of victory, and I am sympathetic to this. Whites and blacks need to calm down and think things out before acting.

You say that you aren't racist, but how do you conclude the following:

"Races should not be opponents of each other, and should not seek to take revenge for past actions. I think that more blacks are trying to gain this revenge in today's time because of the Obama administration"
