Limbaugh: Nominating Sotomayor Like Nominating David Duke

When the people you elect to be the leaders of your Party are continually issuing public apologies to one guy because something those leaders say may have given that one guy offense...that one guy is the real leader.

I KNOW you don't like this fact, Gen...I wouldn't like it, either if I were in your shoes. Sucks to be a Republican these days...

I don't doubt your numbers gen468. But the fact remains that Rush is the strongest and loudest voice in the Republican Party. No, he's not elected and I agree with you that he's incredibly stupid. So why does he have so much power in the party? What does it say that if any elected official dares to disagree with him publicly that the next day like clockwork they'll be on his show kissing his ring and apologizing? And what does it say that no elected official has stepped forward to lead? I'm sorry, but the fact is that the Republican party is shrinking, it's in deep trouble, the way it's handling Judge Sotomayor is making things a lot worse (and that’s not just Rush). And the fact remains that Rush is the defacto leader of the party. You may not like it, but until someone challenges him and wins...that's the way it is.

Just 11% of GOP voters say the conservative radio commentator is a party’s leader.

Eighty-one percent (81%) of Republican voters discount him and 8% are undecided .

I tried to think of the dumbest democratic that I could proclaim as the leader of the democratic party, to counter the claim that Limbaugh was a GOP leader ,but considering that Nancy Polaski is the Party leader and obviously the smartest person they could come up with ,i gave up, they beat me to it.

What's wrong with David Duke?

Hey all you wiz kids out there.

Did the media determined that Limbaugh was the leader of the Republican party.
I’m not aware of the Republican Party leadership nominating Limbaugh as its leader or spokesman. I am not aware of the Republican Party supporting his ranting or platform.

Can anyone find anything or anyone in the Republican Party leadership that states Limbaugh speaks for Republicans or the Party? If you do, Ill vote for Ron Paul next election.

The truth is painful to some.

The fact remains that Sotomayor, by her remarks, is more racist than Limbaugh ever has been on his show.

I don't give a flying F what Limbaugh thinks, but unfortunately many other do. They are vulnerable to the rantings of an obese psychopath who hails the coming of their day of vengeance, protecting the white Republican extreme right from being completely treated as the minorities they once had completely dominated and oppressed.

Why waste this blog space and time with a comment by this lunatic fringe idiot? Who cares what this pill head moron says?

@catcassels on twitter says "Limbaugh: Nominating Sotomayor Like Nominating David Duke: She appears to be a centrist to me, so I'm not su.."

His logic is twisted beyond recognition. When a hispanic woman is appointed to the Supreme Court for this first time in our nation's history, he says that our civil rights have been set back. And just because he has a sound bite that is taken way out of context, he can label her as the racist rather than looking inward at himself.

We're seeing the true colors of the Republican leadership. It's so funny to hear the charges of racism from the people who brought you "Barack the Happy Negro". Voters will remember this long after Judge Sotomayor is confirmed. Another huge Republican fail.

@virtualhispanic on twitter says "The obese sack of crap speaks again: Limbaugh: Nominating Sotomayor Like Nominating David Duke #tcot"

and while we're at it, let's compare Rush to Humptey Dumptey...

the great fall is coming

Priceless -- the undisputed leader of the Republican Party just compared one of Hispanic America's most revered modern role models to a Grand Master of the Ku Klux Klan. It will be nothing short of a miracle if the percentage of Hispanic voters in this country vote in a double-digit percentage for a Republican candidate during the remainder of my lifetime. Thanks for the assist, Rush!

There is an old adage that Rush apparently missed growing up: When you are up to your eyeballs in shit, don't open your mouth...

This is precisely what I mean. The stupidity is astounding.

There are so many issues that the right could be using to fight the Sotomayor nomination:

Her stance against the 2nd amendment.

Her blind support of police.

Her bad rulings.

Yet they reach for this BS and muddy the water.

Just absolute failure.
