I guess it had to come to this. The undisguised racism of many pundits on the far right has at least avoided the most vile expressions of their hate when anyone outside of their private circles was listening. Today the hate came bubbling to the surface as Rush Limbaugh said this while mocking the way he thinks liberals view Republicans:<\/p>\n

“You notice how everything Republicans do is venal? Everything is calculated for political advantage? Everything is done to try to harm our little boy president<\/strong>, Barack Obama?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There it is – out in the open. Although this is nothing new for Limbaugh. For three years now he has been referring to Obama as a “man-child.”<\/em> And what is a “man-child”<\/em> but a boy. It was his way of calling the President boy without bearing the consequences of being more literal. His listeners knew what he was saying.<\/p>\n

This sort of disrespect runs deep through the right-wing media. Fox Nation posted this graphic last year along with a story about Obama:<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

And even worse, they deliberately mangled the results of a poll in order to run a story with this headline: Obama Has A Big Problem With White Women<\/a>. Could they have come up with a more racially charged banner with which to introduce a story on a public opinion poll? This framing deliberately recalls the worst of a hate-filled era characterized by irrational fears of marauding black predators stalking innocent and vulnerable Caucasian virgins. I’m just a little surprised that Fox didn’t go with this headline: “Obama Polling: Where Da White Women At?”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Perhaps this is an intentional ploy on Limbaugh’s part. He has been taking considerable heat lately for having insulted Sandra Fluke, a law student who did nothing more than speak her mind on a matter of importance to her and all women. Limbaugh has lost dozens of advertisers. His show airs in some markets with only free PSAs (public service announcements) or even dead air. This may be his way of trying to divert attention from that controversy to something he thinks will be less volatile. Good luck with that, Rush.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
