Rush Limbaugh eulogized Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner, on his show yesterday. For some reason he decided to make his eulogy race based, claiming that Steinbrenner was a “cracker” who created a lot of “African-American millionaires” and “fired a lot of white guys.”

    So, tell me this Mr. Limbaugh, what did the African-Americans Millionaires make Mr. Steinbrenner????

    Just another case where this man is sprouting off and whinning with half truths and inuendoes.

    They always want to say the N-word because rappers use it…uh oh..Rush Limbaugh just said “cracker”…time to make it part of my daily vocabulary.

    But really, I started not to listen to this audio clip. I should have just gone with that. That was in such poor taste. Even without the racial component, to denigrate someone right after their death is just tasteless. Period.

    Rush says stuff to make headlines and fire people up. Stop falling for it. Enough,NewsOne. Really. He’s a political shock jock with a racist streak. We get it.

    Rush Limbaugh’s stupidity does not surprise me at all. He needs to admit that he’s a racist and stop playing the hypocrite role. He’s an idiot and a junkie with a serious case of foot in mouth disease.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/richsolomon1/ richsolomon1

    But it was true!!!! See the problem is, Rush has a history of saying stupid
    racist things,stuff,comments,statements whatever;that when he tries to make a heartfelt comment about George. He sounds like he always does….High sooooo high!!!! One drawwwww! Father_Lo i just caught that, foot in mouth disease, I love it man!!

    This Cracker is to funny for words.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BreBuffalo/ BreBuffalo

    I am against racist,sexist because they are not Christian and they do not bring a people,Americans, and a country,The USA,up.
    Black racists such as Al Saopton, Jessa Jackson, I do notsupport.

    I have to say that to make mypoint aboutthis thing,creature,Limbaugh.

    What hesays, and unchalleged, is so un Christian,ugly,and he said this,I listened to the clip,in a backhand racists compliement.
    Ex. of these,She is so pretty. She is Balck, but she is very pretty.
    He is so smart. He is Black, but really smart.
    You know guys here know what Imean.

    Steinbrenner, from what all is said, lifted his business, baseball, up by hiring and firing constantly, the best palyers and mangers, staff he could find. Yankees won.
    So Limbaugh is really slamming a great American, Steinbrenner.
    Calling Steinbrenner a “cracker” isvwery ignorant,ugly,and racist.
    There is no point there. It is uncalled for.

    GOP crowd is always so pro-American in words only.LOL!!!
    Next, what is his point of saying that Steinbrenner made some Black guys rich.
    Wel,,theAmerican wayis work hard and to the highest level you can and EARN the most you can forhonestwork.
    That is a slam in the face to all players and staff of the Yankess,Steinbrenner and to NY.
    Is Limbaugh for real?
    YES!!!!!!!!!!!
    HE is 100% supported by a large fan base and the GOP no matter what stupid things he says.
    But,noone in the media is calling out this lunatic.
    All I can say is that sometimes some have to hang themsevles ,be allowed enough time and saying things on record,and then they can be called out their virewpoint.
    Very sad.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/big_sexy63/ big_sexy63

    Can u say attention w***e! F this piece of doodoo. This is sensationalist bird turd. Steinbrenner made a lot of people rich. Both white and black. He saw Green. Limbaugh is a J E Hoover-esque hypocritical racist shock value redneck hater.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Melolvr69/ Melolvr69

    Yeah I heard it. He was mocking the Black panther guy who said he hated white people called for killing crackers.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/killasweet82/ killasweet82

    i will forever find it funny to hear one cracker call another white dude cracker, thats just funny!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SWEETLEN/ SWEETLEN

    Lord, please bless Rush and let him see the error of his ways! And thank you Lord for giving him sense enough not to wear his white robe and hood as he speaks idiotically on the air!

    Why is it that newsone steadily reporting on the idiotic rants of an ignorant, racist social commentator?
    I’m with Nightowl358 on this one… leave him alone and maybe he’ll go away.
    Honestly, this is nothing surprising and the fact that he’s not only disrespecting Black people, as expected, but he’s disrespecting a man that recently passed which has never been acceptable regardless of the race.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Marvice60/ Marvice60

    I used to listen to Limbaugh, and you really have to listen to his whole show to get the context of what he says. A lot of people take what he says out the context in which he said it and means it. He speaks figuratively a lot. Most people will hear one sentence and run to the blogs and hate speech, when you really had to LISTEN to the whole thing. Since I didn’t hear the show I won’t make a comment about what he said. I’m just asking you people to start listening to someone’s whole comment before you start calling people racist, bigots etc… There are none of us who have not disagreed or said something that wasn’t nice.

    Good Lord

    but If GOD doesn’t punish Rush Limbaugh for being proud of it. Here am I, send me,

    Limbaugh is an insecure racist ass who made millions of of hate. He can go to the Dominican Republic and frolic with young boys , but he can’t even walk down the streets of New York , Chicago , Atlanta or Detroit , or any city that isn’t all white.

    Building your fortress around hate insures that you stay isolated in hate and with hate. Limbaugh is a discredit to humankind and is wasting air that decent people are breathing. If there were enough whites with the talent necessary to win championships , Steinbrenner wouldn’t have hired blacks, it was out of necessity to pad his own bank account. Without Reggie Jackson , Jeter , he’d be just another owner in search of glory and fame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1SereneOne/ 1SereneOne

    Blacks should boycott Fox ANYTHING until Fox News gets him and Beck off the air. Blacks generally don’t watch Fox News and the nightly hate reports coming from the divisive Beck and Limbaugh but then they watch the shows. Blacks should boycott Fox completely and anyone who sponsors Beck or Limbaugh.

    IDK why they put this sh!t up. He didn’t lie about anything he said. He could’ve left out the cracker part but whatever. Rush Limbaugh got a 400 million dollar contract with Clear Channel. And everybody on here would trade places with him. Run yo mouth all day to 20 million mainly white folks who would probably follow your every word. Casey needs to get off Rush’s dick and find something that will help us out. I’m pretty sure every member here is aware of Rush Limbaugh.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    Thank you Nightowl. As far as I’m concerned, Casey and Rush are two peas in a pod. Both like to push racial buttons for attention. ONly difference is, one dude made about $50million last year doing it, not sure what the motivation of the other one is.

    Once again, limbaugh got it backwards. The raw talent of black athletes made Steinbrenner rich not the other way around as limbaugh so crudely states. What talents do white folks have that make black people rich? Maybe it is the willie lynch school of human resource management or the goldman sachs school of money manipulation and numbers crunching.

    …And Rush Limbaugh is a puppet master… a sheep herder extraordinaire made into a millionaire by the blind sheep who feed on his brand of grain.. divisive, racist, ridiculous rants… some that even he doesn’t believe. But he knows that pushing the buttons of fearful, downtrodden Whites and steppin fetchit Blacks will keep his brand popular and keep his pockets full…

    How ironic is it that for someone who rants and raves against Blacks and Gays ad nauseam, Limbaugh paid Elton John, a very out and proud Gay man, a million dollars to sing at his wedding a few months ago… this is further proof that Rush doesn’t believe half the venom he spews, but it gets him paid big time because his sheepish followers believe him… Brilliant!

    Rush needs a bullet to the brain. That is the only way to shut this guy up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/spencermiller/ spencermiller

    Rush Limbaugh has figured it out, the more outrageous things he says the more attention he gets. He is the voice of America’s racist and bigots and wears that badge with honor. There are some things in Limbaugh’s past that have yet to be revealed and it is along the line of the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s big secret that is now public knowledge. I wouldn’t worry about this hypocrite much longer because he will soon disappoint his followers greatly. They will be in denial for a wile but the evidence will be overwhelming.

    Again Rush gets inside the heads of those who think they are on top of this issue. I listen to Rush a lot as well as anyone who have something to say. To simply break it down, which the columnist failed to do for the readers, Rush was making justified mockery of the New Black Panther idiot calling for the death of so called “crackers”. We here what we want to here and only get a part of the story without the whole story. Rush Limbaugh’s thing is to present facts and trigger a response for debate by using the liberty to speak his mind. To those who only listen to Limbaugh only to try to see if they can catch him saying something “racist” comes out looking like Wily the Coyote trying to trap the Roadrunner. Rush Limbaugh is a conservative talk radio pioneer-icon. You don’t have to love him just listen to him because he makes sense. He doesn’t wear his race on his sleeve and the things that he was accuse of saying, he never said it. Get the facts. When he said that he wanted President Obama to fail he meant it in this perspective: Failure in passing a disastrous healthcare bill which is coming back to bite President Obama and the democrats in the a– along with many other deficit growing economy crippling legislations. Rush is all about the issues facing us in this country but there are those who are too stuck in their prejudiced mindset and to hear anything from Rush they would call him racist. He makes the democrats and republicans, along with the democratic bias news media nervous because he calls them on every issue and they can’t hide. Sure Rush have had his personal issues, but when it comes down to not being fooled by liberals he is true and constant. Listen to Rush in a fair context because its all about not letting the prejudice stand in the way of common sense principles which we all have in common.

    When is someone going to hit this nasty ass KKK in his throat..It is bad to stoop to name calling but why is he still being an issue with his drug addicted ass. If he was at home with a c**k in his mouth perhaps he wouldn’t have too much to say. This is just a way to try to get up in a uproar we are taking the time to read the news on here guys…Who truly cares what Rush Asswipe has to say?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/crammasters/ crammasters

    Rush is simply doing his job — he’s a paid “entertainer” whose job is race-bait. He is the flip side of the white liberal and black puppet whose job is to oppose Rush. Same people pay both sides. white folk and black folks fall for the hype yet remain in the dark.

    No need to hate (Rush); appreciate the brilliance of playing both sides of the so-called NONEXISTENT right and left, and playing the black and white public for SUCKERS…while they take all our money and run it over to the Swiss bank accounts…

    we have got to start being more logical, less emotional and put on our thinking hats and start asking “why” is the same thing happening over and over….?
