Racist Limbaugh Wins the 'Irony of The Year Award'
Advertisements [?]
Stupid fuck Limbaugh, brainwashing his listeners, 'explained' Obama's school speech, using this passage below to convince himself and his readers that Obama didn't really believe anything he said and that Obama has no personal responsibility in his agenda at all.

Can others see ultimate irony in Limbaugh reading this passage from Obama's Dreams from My Father?

Limbaugh begins:
There is no personal responsibility in his agenda at all, and I think if he was going to be true to himself, he would have quoted one of his mentors: Frank Marshall Davis. Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party in Hawaii, was one of Obama's mentors. And he wrote about Frank Marshall Davis in his book Dreams from My Father.


And continues to read:
...Finally he asked me what it was that I expected to get out of college. I told him I didn't know. He shook his big, hoary head.

"Well," he said, "that's the problem, isn't it? You don't know. You're just like the rest of these young cats out here. All you know is that college is the next thing you're supposed to do. And the people who are old enough to know better, who fought all those years for your right to go to college -- they're just so happy to see you in there that they won't tell you the truth. The real price of admission."

"And what's that?"

"Leaving your race at the door," he said. "Leaving your people behind." He studied me over the top of his reading glasses. "Understand something, boy. You're not going to college to get educated. You're going there to get trained. They'll train you to want what you don't need. They'll train you to manipulate words so they don't mean anything anymore. They'll train you to forget what it is that you already know. They'll train you so good, you'll start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that shit. They'll give you a corner office and invite you to fancy dinners, and tell you you're a credit to your race. Until you want to actually start running things, and then they'll yank on your chain and let you know that you may be a well-trained, well paid nigger, but you're a nigger just the same."
