finally some reaction
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110128/ap_on_en_ot/us_limbaugh_asian_americans

i guess if he had done it to another group he would have been hung up days ago.

i gave him the benefit of the doubt before this...

Funny because when Rush speaks all I hear is 'Rah babba rah rah da dubba da dah'

Although, thankfully, that clip is the first time I've heard him.

If he was making fun of French or German would anyone care? No.

This is not a big deal especially since he was talking about a foreign leader.

Why does it need to be a big deal for someone to post about it?

I bet if Vladimir did the whole 'watermelon/fried chicken/Oh lordy mama' thing about Obama it would be on the news.

What are you talking about? It should be a big deal if Asian-American groups are complaining about it.

Not sure what your second point is. Vladimir? Are you talking about Vladimir Putin? You understand that Rush Limbaugh isn't a politician right?

Want to admit you're not really familiar with this story and are talking out your ass? It would be newsworthy if Putin made fun of Obama's race. It's not newsworthy that a right-wing American pundit is making fun of a foreign language, especially since people make fun of other foreign languages and British accents all the time.

Would it be news worthy if Rush had done an ebonics thing on Obama?

Dont get too hooked up on the Putin thing. Unless you have a thing for his topless cowboy pics, then obsess away.

Maybe we are missing the point, the Rushbo critics are finally hitting the gas bag where he lives.

When 14% or better of the American public is willing to boycott outfits like Dimino's pizza for sponsoring a serial idiot like Rush Limbaugh, and they lose business as a result, maybe Limbaugh sponsors will rethink the cost benefit ratio involved.

As for me, I have always maintained I will not give a dimes's worth of business to any Limbaugh sponsor.

Please join in this campaign and boycott each and every Limbaugh sponsor stupid enough to think 14% ditto head support does not entail a backfire of 86% national revulsion.

Everyone already knows he's a fat racist, this is why people either like or hate him.

Theres being a fat racist, and there is being so stupid that you don't know you should probably not blatently spew it over the air.

I presume you'll be equally scrupulous about avoiding Colbert's sponsors, seeing as he is complaining that Rush is ripping off his Chinese imitation.

On a side note - holy cow, when did Rush get fat again?

He spews whatever will get his fat, racist ass paid, can't really blame him for that.

PUh-leeze. Colbert is comedy. He has greater license, particularly when he's poking fun at his own persona.

If you actually heard the press conference, it was exactly as Limbaugh described.
