In watching this guy's head finally explode. It will show a generation of hate radio was defeated:



When Limbaugh Compared 12-Year Old Chelsea Clinton To A Dog

Bill Clinton had been president-elect for just a few days when, on November 6, 1992, Limbaugh launched one of the nastiest attacks of his career against an innocent target: 12-year old Chelsea Clinton.

Complete video of that day's program does not appear to be available online, but a portion of Limbaugh's attack was aired in a 1995 documentary about Limbaugh by PBS' Frontline. Also, a transcript of the program is posted in the Nexis database.

Limbaugh began the segment by noting that the New York Daily News' David Hinckley published a list of who's entering and leaving the White House. Limbaugh stated: "He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.' Could -- could we see the cute kid? Let's take a look at -- see who is the cute kid in the White House."

The program then put up a picture of Millie, the Bush family's dog. Limbaugh responded, in mock confusion, "No, no, no, no. That's not the kid." The program then puts up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, with Rush saying, "that's the kid."

Watch a portion of this exchange from Frontline, this part of a series. Rush has had the rest pulled off the net, but this Media Matters article goes into what Rush was always about as well as linking to the NPR videos:

A full-blown racist and misogynst, who said daily HRC's UHC plan would implement Death Panels. A precursor to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party goons who attacked Democrats at Town Hall meetings that dared to suggest the ACA would change health care, and it even has a UHC provision if a state wanted to have it. In states where UHC was not adopted, Medicaid expansion under the ACA acts as UHC for those who qualify for it.

All that hatred, due to Hillary's support of health care reform, the rights of the poor, women and children seems to have been forgotten. This is about attacking those groups, no one should be confused about that.

Limbaugh got voters to put Newt Gingrich in and was the beginning of Tom DeLay's 'permanent Republican majority.' So much evil was spouted by this demagogue and he's still there and will be for a long time, barring the total defeat of his world view by HRC and the rest of the Democrats.

The GOP are forever beholden to him for the victory he gave to them through propaganda. He has no shame and is not dependent upon revenue by advertisers. Dick Armey revealed as he left one of the Koch front groups that they'd been paying Rush. His father funded his network when other networks ran him off for racist rants.

It would be so sweet to see Rush go away. But from what I'm hearing in my area, he's still getting converts. And it's working on a very personal level, his disdain is adopted by people who mistreat their family members because of learned heartlessness and selfishness from this thoroughly evil man.

HRC's victory would not be about her, but more for us who believe in liberal causes and progressive legislation. Yes, she will be seen as polarizing. The right will continue to hate her and ALL Democrats, but are we afraid when they call Obama a 'fringe left-winger'?

Why should we cede the ground to such who want us destroyed as Limbaugh and the Tea Party do, when it's really not about anything HRC has done?

Most of what is said about her is RW misinformation, and they can use it on the left, they just frame it differently to cause us to fight amongst ourselves. And it's really our politics they object to, not HRC. Limbaugh also called for 'hunting down liberals with dogs.' I'm not going to keep company with those who will avoid HRC because of fear of Rush.

People should understand why his first target was HRC, and it was NOT because of the slurs we see her being assailed with people who purport to be Democrats but may not be, who say 'both parties are the same.' They are telling the truth, if they are Libertarian or Communist, whose ideology says Democrats and Republicans are a failure, so don't vote for them because it's not what they want.

We are better known by our enemies than our fair weather friends.
