It didn't take long to thoroughly discredit her.

What gets me is that hate peddlers like Rush Limbaugh have kept up a constant stream of thinly disguised racism over the public airways for many years, and while I keep hearing how he's hemorraging advertisers, he doesn't seem to be adversely affected.

What he says may not be worse than what Paula Deen says, but he's been saying it a lot longer and a lot more publicly. Without repercussions it seems. Hell, he's still on Armed Forces Radio trashing the commander in chief on a daily basis.
