Rush: Cubans Aren't "Popular In The Overall Hispanic Group" Because They're Not "As Dark" [View all]

And Are "Oriented Toward Work"

---
He's not even trying to hide the racism anymore - nor is the rest of the GOP with their new "takers"/updated welfare queens meme.

Looks like they're digging further into the hole of irrelevancy on demographics.

Please, proceed, Republicans, on your way to oblivion.

LIMBAUGH: But the Republicans get a large part of the Cuban vote, particularly South Florida, already. And it's oriented -- I can't win here, I just can't win. It's oriented -- the reason that the Cubans are not that popular, of the Hispanic divisions you've talked about -- it's a race thing.

CALLER: Yes, it is.

LIMBAUGH: It's a race thing. They're just not quite dark -- as dark, and they're oriented toward work.

and someone needs to inform the fat bastard that Obama won a record share the Cuban vote this time round, 47 percent to Mitt's 50.
