Heard Limbaugh repeat a common online mantra... Obama is the most dividing leader in the history of the United States, primarily on race lines. Being a white, heterosexual male, I know what it is like to be discriminated against in this country. But all things be told, I do not feel like I'm on one side of the road and 'those people' are on the other. Well, okay, it is true because black families live across the street from me (and in my defense, up the road on the same side as me as well), but that would be getting too literal.

So why do I not feel that Obama has divided this country on race lines? Maybe I took his statements in context or something? But I feel like I should be on the white side of things, based on the repeated mantra online and on the radio and on right-wing cable news. I should apparently not like the blacks. Or is this a one-way street? Did Obama side all the blacks against the white people? That could explain why that one black male slowly crossed the street in front of me that one day. What was just a person who took his dear old time, was actually a shot across the bow!

I may need to look more into this war thing that may have started.

I think that Limbaugh is only saying what he wished that Obama represented. Like Limbaugh wished that the ACA killed jobs, caused higher premiums and run away medical costs. And he thinks that if he, the god of the radio, repeats it often enough, that his factually challenged listeners will believe the crap that he spews daily, which is probably true, unfortunately.
 
No, no, you have it all wrong.

Obama is the leader most capable of doing the arithmetic operation of division in the history of our nation. This is due to the prevalence of advanced calculator apps on our smartphones.
 
jimmy has been duly added to the race traitor list to be dealt with later.
 
He should probably have to turn in his White Privilege card. I'll bring it up at the next white people meeting.

I think it is one of two possible reasons: 1) you are a self-hating white, or 2) insensitive.

I am worried about you - why on earth are you listening to Limbaugh at all?

It happens. Sometimes I tune in just to see the direction of his rhetoric. Oddly enough today, he was also complaining about pushing god out of the public.

He is God to about 20% of my fellow Murkins.

If he is then like most Christians, Dittoheads are not going to church regularly. Last I heard, with a lack of sponsors, Rush's show has been relegated to a local radio station thus no longer as widely disseminated.
 
Wow. Though, I don't know what that means. Are people switching to other more right-wing assbats or just concentrating on reading right-wing Internet sites? I wonder how Prager, Medved, Hannity numbers are doing.
 
I think it's just Rush. A few years back, he called this college student who testified before Congress a prostitute because she wanted the government to pay for her birth control pills:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh%E2%80%93Sandra_Fluke_controversy

There was a big boycott organized because of this and a whole bunch of advertisers refused to deal with the stations carrying his program. He may or may not be as popular as ever amongst his fan base, but it's harder for stations to get money to air his program, so that kills the number of people who are able to listen to it as easily as they once did.
