26. Beyond the pale, insulting a teenage native Alaskan girl
Edited on Fri Nov-09-07 02:29 PM by OzarkDem
from the linked article about a teenage schoolgirl from Alaska who testified before Congress as part of a youth education program about global warming & environmental issues...

"Mr. Limbaugh’s first-day reaction was to inaccurately and insultingly describe Ms. Lockwood as a 13-year-old Inupiat (she’s Yup’ik) girl from Alaska and cast her on par with the white actor who played the “crying Indian” during 1970s TV commercials aimed at littering. He decried her emotional testimony as a nauseating Democrat ploy.

On Tuesday he added her to his list of “victims exploited by the Democrats” and joined callers in painting her as “brainwashed” and belittled her cultural concerns.

He continued to exploit her testimony, playing it time and again, and would not apologize for his attacks. He made it clear that anyone testifying before Congress was fair game for the same kind of national ridicule he has endured (Just Google “OxyContin & racist”).

The coup de grace was Mr. Limbaugh laughing with a woman caller who claimed to be a former Alaska resident, now “a Texan by choice.” Of Ms. Lockwood’s testimony she said, “if they’re losing their way of life, that would probably mean the liquor store was closing.”

What a POS, I hope she sues him and the redneck woman on his show.
