Gawker sums it all up: "This is going to be the most racist election ever."

Rush Limbaugh’s Brother Calls Barack Obama a ‘Boy’



Here's a lovely little photo essay prepared by David Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh's less drug-addicted brother. It shows Rick Perry at age 22, when he was an Air Force pilot, contrasted with "Barack Hussein Obama II" at age 22, when he was a nig—excuse me, I mean, boy. They were both boys, obviously, but Perry was a plane-flying man while Obama was really a boy. Just a boy. This is going to be the most racist election ever.

1. I think you aren't wrong on that score. Obama has to do the same

thing they lay on women and some "foreigners"--do the job twice as well in half the time to garner a third of the credit.

But what else is new? People will be harder on him, find fault more often, be quicker to judge, and in general, be assholes. Why? Because they are jerks.

[Pirate Smile]

3. Seen a lot of that.

[boppers]

7. " twice as well in half the time"....

...In high heels, backwards.

It's an old line, but true.

[MADem]

13. Ha ha!!

I'm picturing poor Obama dancing with Fred Astaire now...it ain't a pretty sight!!

[boppers]

22. Hey now, Obama has some grace.

He needs some, or many, rehearsals.

(I'm so happy that people still know this adage/joke).

[FrenchieCat]

2. I guess that one is supposed to be a "good Ol' Boy"....

Looks just like this one!

George W. Bush as a "Boy"



George W. Bush as President and Commander-in-Chief



Barack Obama as President and Commander-in-Chief

11. Well-done , FrenchieCat. Jeez, you'd think they'd wait at least another election cycle

before running a GWB clone like Perry... :crazy:

[Supersedeas]

14. yeah, there's a great juxtaposition of photographs, if there ever was one

Nice work Frenchie

[AtomicKitten]

4. Bring it, a-holes. My money is on the American people.

Ask HClinton how that tactic worked out for her.

[provis99]

5. so what was George Bush doing while Al Gore was in Vietnam?

If their "boy" George Bush does it, then its ok.

[frazzled]

6. Obama was graduating from Columbia University at 22 (1983)

with a major in political science with a specialty in international relations.

Perry, in college, was a "yell leader" and earned a 2.22 average studying "animal science." (According to an article in this week's New Yorker: "A typical yell is: “Squads left! Squads right! / Farmers, farmers, we’re all right! / Load, ready, aim, fire, boom!” During tense moments in a football game, yellers grab their balls and shout, “Squeeze, Aggies!” http://www.newyorker.com/talk/comment/2011/08/29/110829taco_talk_wright#ixzz1W0wLq8d0 ) According to Perry's own statements, he NEEDED to join the military, to avoid a life of "plac(ing) live chickens in the closet of an upperclassman during Christmas break and us(ing) M-80 firecrackers to prank students using the toilet."

Poster that.

21. Sadly, this country cares less about being smart than about appearances.

If Perry "looks strong," Americans are more likely to support him even though he's wrong and mean-spirited.

I've heard even my Democratic friends say that Obama is like Carter: too weak and try to convince people will facts and intelligence rather than emotions.

Republicans have perfected the art of fear and loathing for many decades now. It helps them win elections.

We progressives are wrong to believe that just because we're right on the issues and have the facts on our side, that's all we need to convince people and WIN. We have been wrong at almost every juncture.

8. It already is. n/t

9. I long for the day

when our children will ask their parents "Mom, Dad, what does this word 'racist' mean"? Sadly(not nearly a strong enoug word), I am absolutely sure that it will not be a question asked for many generations in the future. :cry:

[MADem]

15. "Well, Billy and Betty, a "racist" is someone who REALLY, REALLY, REALLY likes

racing and races--all kinds! These racists are experts on bike races, foot races, car races, horse and dog races....even three legged races!!!!"

Hey, it could happen. When I was a kid, I never thought that anyone in their right mind would ever use the term "Dude" in addressing a woman.

Words do change their meanings!

[polmaven]

17. It would be great,

would it not, if that was indeed the most relevant definition for that word! MAYBE SOMEDAY. :dem:

[MADem]

20. +1 nt

[Wise Child]

10. That Barack Hussein Obama dude

looks like a guy you want to have a Dos Equis with, or judging by the hat and the decade this photo was taken, maybe a wine cooler.

[paparush]

12. Bartles & James, FTW

[treestar]

16. Not sure the average American is as in love with the military as

Republicans are. Boosh looked simple doing that Mission Accomplished thing.

How about their grades and the colleges they went to? Those could be compared side by side.

I say that is only for the converted.

[WI_DEM]

18. And what were the Limpball boys doing when they were 22?

[TwilightGardener]

19. I don't think it will work. Obama's been President for almost three years.

This sort of shit might have worked in 2008 (almost did at some points), but I don't think people will care about photos of Young Obama now. It's not like he's untested and starting from being an unknown.
