R Limbaugh is a racist

Biden is catching heat for suggesting it? There are literally dozens of quotes where Limbaugh flat out proves it, but I give Biden credit for not just flat out pulling copies of transcripts and tweets and setting them out neatly to speak for themself without comment.

If it quacks like a duck and it walks like a duck's more than likely it's a duck.

How is this worth covering. How does this get a headline. Or a story. Seriously, is there no actual news to be covering, ?

Well he is a racist

That’s because he is

One need not suggest; frankly he is racist

But he is ......

I wish people would agree on a basic definition for racism, instead of just throwing the word around expecting people to know. I don't listen to Rush so I did a quick search to see some of his alleged racist statements that these comments refer to. Didn't see anything hateful...

Truth hurts

This is just too funny. Are they really trying to say Rush Limbaugh isn’t racist?

Ummm. Rush is a big, fat, old RACIST.

Don’t be the uneducated. Always look at a person’s actions and deeds. A person will always show you who they are.

Truth hurts...racists don’t have mirrors or recognize ignorance.

In order for Biden's allegation to be slanderous he would have to be lying. We all know he's telling the truth.

Was there ever a moment of doubt? How can speaking the truth be slander?

No one is suggesting it, we been known he IS racist.

What the hell is a hughhewitt?

Uh Rush is a certified racist. Stop hating the truth.

I used to be conservative. Not A Conservative. But, prudent, thoughtful, restrained, focused. Now the word conservative is a pejorative.

NEWS

Does slanderous mean truthful in our new upside down world?

there are receipts

Conservative radio host who dreams of taking over Rush Limbaugh's radio show?....

Why? Limbaugh is racist, them ans what they ams.

Rush Limbaugh’s actions and statements over the years speak for themselves. Although Biden didn’t really need to say anything, he is just calling a spade, a spade.

Biden is right on the money.

Perhaps he didn't hear Rush speak. Lol Because he is.

I think he's an equal-opportunity bigot, which includes racism.

But he is, and in the extreme.

😢😢😢 but, but, but Biden 😱😱😱 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 BidenForPresident. Biden2020

The next time I give a $hit what Hewitt says will be the first time.

Like Maya Angelou famously said, 'when people first show you who they are, believe them.' If Rush Limbaugh is not a racist, then, well nobody is.

Who cares? Iowa is 91% white humans. The black humans all stood behind Buttigieg in his acceptance speech. It was so staged. Trumpish.
