Rush Limbaugh: If Kanye West Sang The Oklahoma Racist Chant, It Would Be A Hit

[Initech]

Rush Limbaugh argued the racist chant by University of Oklahoma fraternity members would be a hit song if Kanye West performed it.

The conservative talk radio host was discussing the social media firestorm over the co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” who blamed hip hop music and rappers for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chant about lynching and racial exclusion, reported Mediaite.

“Twitter is blowing up,” Limbaugh said. “Twitter should be blown up, if you ask me. Some of the most repulsive hate and disgust in this country is on Twitter. Countless, thousands, millions of times a day. But beyond that, Twitter is blowing up angry as hell at Mika Brzezinski for daring to say frat boys at OU were simply mimicking a rap song.”

Context matters, Rush.

1. Upset about hate being broadcast, Rush?

Cry us a fucking river. Or just pay Joe and Mika to do your sobbing---sounds like they're doing an odious job of it, already. Stunning hypocrisy......

4. $10 says he couldn't name a single Kanye West tune if he tried.

Much less read the actual lyrics and try to understand their meaning.

5. Kanye's skin tone was all Rushbo needed.

The nerve of that bastard, Limbaugh: he's the most effective purveyor of mass hatred since Josef Goebbels, and he's complaining about hatred? The times we live in......

2. Rush is the hemorrhoid on the

asshole of America!

6. Now, now

it was a pilodinal cyst.

3. There's a rap song called, "There will never be a n____r at SAE?"

I must have missed that one.

7. And Rush, if there were no "age of consent" laws

You wouldn't be a child rapist. So, you know, as long as we're trying to invent alternate realities.

8. Rush Limburger dispkaying his utter ignorance. Yet again.

SAE house mother may claim her expletive outburst was singing along w/ rap sang, but the chant in the vid is an apparent standard in that frat. It even has a couple different versions in diff univs.

Only one thing to do about as-truthful-as-O'Reilly Racist Rush: #FlushRush

9. He knows exactly why this makes no sense, but his drooling, slack-jawed ditto-heads

don't have the ability or desire to know why.

10. Context and nuance matters. That's why I get after some folks here for nuance. We should leave not

doing nuance to right wing idiots like Limbaugh. Although in Limbaugh's case with the 'N' word, he's feigning not being able to do the nuance. He knows the difference. He knows what he is doing is hurtful to the African American community. He's on a bizarre mission whose goal is to get himself and other non-African Americans permission for using that word.
