Rush Is Right: The Democrats Didn’t Have The Guts To “Say No To A Black Guy”

Media Matters[1] is pitching this commentary from Rush Limbaugh as if it’s supposed to be terribly controversial to someone besides liberals,

Rush Limbaugh said that “it is striking how unqualified [Sen. Barack] Obama is and, and how this whole thing came about with, within the Democrat Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.” Limbaugh went on to say: “I think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them.

If Barack Obama becomes President of the United States, he will be the first “Affirmative Action President” because there’s very little in his background that shows he’s ready for the job and if he gets it, it’ll be because more qualified applicants were passed over because of their skin color.

Despite being unqualified to be President, Obama won the Democratic nomination because black Democrats voted for him because he was black and a lot of white liberals voted for him either out of white guilt or because they were afraid of being labeled as racists if they went for Hillary.

If Democrats were honest, they’d admit that Barack Obama probably wouldn’t merit a cabinet appointment in a Hillary Clinton administration if he were a white guy.

Maybe 15 years ago in this country, people might have been too terrified of being called “racists” to point out the truth about Barack Obama. But today, in a time when the word “racist” means “threatening to the interests of the Democratic Party” or “Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton need some more money” about 95% of the time, it’s a lot harder to intimidate people into pretending the emperor is wearing a full set of clothes.
