The NAALCP--Rush Limburger calls it The National Assn for the Advancement of LIBERAL Colored People

Don't ask me why I listened to him this morning on the car radio. It's like gawking at a car wreck. But the sheer racism I heard from him was astounding. He asked "What did Romney have to do to get applause, Promise them higher unemployment? Say that if I'm elected that 80% of you people will be on food stamps?" And so much more, I'd say it was unbelievable, but when I consider the source........good grief.

It's difficult, but it will steel your resolve against the 'pubs (as if you need it).

since he started on the radio back in '88. He couldn't wait to daily insult every minority group or disabled person that his crack production folks could compile via vile and denegrating parody pieces and songs.

But meanwhile, he was going deaf in both ears and eventually ended up with cochlear implants in order to restore partial, albeit tinny hearing... which is why he barely ever makes appearances any more and if he does, he avoids groups.

You can expect to hear more and more outrageous remarks from him.

His audience has a very limited attention span. They need constant outrage to keep them listening. If he keeps repeating the same old shit they'll tune out figuratively if not literally. Consequently he has to continue to outdo himself in terms of racist and sexist statements and accusations.

Wouldn't surprise me to hear him blatantly using the n-word before the election. He appears to be getting that desperate.
