When I saw the title it reminded me of this:



Yes it's a funny site, but I think it brings up important points.

As for the OP, Limbaugh is a joke, and so I don't really take anything he says seriously.

Rush is certainly a character. I think it looks like he dioesn;t like Sotomayor more than anything else.

We need to kill Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore so people can think for themselves again.

If we don't have them, we'll have to rely on our own intelligence... we'll see how far that gets us

It's not really Reverse rasism because any thing too do with culture or skin it is still rasism.

Discrimination, racism, etc. all mean treating people differently based on their races. So the term reverse racism, while probably easier to identify the problem with, is the same as racism.

Limbaugh is just voicing his opinion as he always does, as he is entitled to. What it really comes down to is the Senates confriation of Sotomayor. Maybe Sotomayor is playing the race card slightly but it can be looked at as a positive rather than a cruch.

As for the reverse racism I don't quite understand how Sotomayor has put down any other race through a speech as Limbaugh claims she has during her 2001 Berkeley.

Limbaugh's an idiot, he calls her a racist because of something she said about her lifestyle, that has nothing to do with skin color- it was just saying that different lifestyles leave you with different ways to look at yourself and others.
