(CNN) — Conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh Monday strongly defended his recent remark that Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama largely because of race, and lashed out at members of the media and Democrats for appearing to take issue with his comment.

"So what if it's race?" Limbaugh said on his radio show. "Why is it so hard to admit that it's race…What's so problematic about admitting it?"

Limbaugh's original comments came in an email to Politico reporter Jonathan Martin Sunday, when the talk-radio host took issue with Powell's contention that his endorsement of the Illinois senator did not have anything to do with the color of his skin.

"Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race," Limbaugh wrote in the e-mail. "OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with."

1. I do no think there are words

in the English language to fully describe how disgusting Limbaugh is. And I do not say this lightly.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

12. There are words

but they are not very polite...
Lower than whale shit.
deep-fried horse-shit on a stick
Little boy fondling drug addict

(these are the nicer descriptives - the meaner ones take too much time to think up and I need to go run errands.)

2. Alan Keyes is on the ballot.

Just sayin'

[City Lights]

3. Other than for the freak factor, why would CNN give air time to a talking anal cyst? nt

[treestar]

4. Let me see if I can understand this, Rushbo

Colin Powell has to have endorsed a white guy in the past in order to be able to endorse another black guy now?

So wouldn't it follow you can't endorse McCrap unless you've endorsed some black guy in the past?

How about starting here, for Colin's required endorsement: George Dumbya Bush.

5. keep talking, fatso

keep it up. Keep the "Powell Endorsement Balloon" in the air as long as you can.

[Bucky]

6. Limbaugh has me *this close* to feeling any sympathy for Powell. *This close* I tell you.

But... nope. Not quite getting there. Powell has to do more than endorse Obama. He needs to block walk. He needs to testify for limited immunity.

7. limbaugh and his fellow klansmen will be voting based on race

Despite some bush slippage Colin Powell is an honorable man who made what was a tough decision for him. limbaugh just tries to sexaully excite his racist ignorant base because he sure doesn't have time to do anything good for our country.

8. No big deal. He's just doing his job stirring up hatred.

That's what he's being paid millions of dollars a year to do.

9. For Limpballs it's ALWAYS about race.

So of course it's inconceivable to him that anyone else would think differently.

17. That's Not True...

Sometimes it's about gender. "Femi-Nazi" ring a bell?

[Bake]

18. Well yeah, when it's not about race it's about gender.

But it's always about SOMETHING!

:hi:

10. BECAUSE RACE IS A STUPID REASON TO VOTE FOR OR AGAINST SOMEBODY!

You freakin' moron!

11. Why is it so difficult for Rush Limbaugh to admit that he's a hardcore junkie pedophile?

Why aren't the media interested in covering this? Don't they want to know? Why the cover up????

[AspenRose]

13. Rush Limbaugh is a hardcore pedophile junkie?

WoW! This is the first I've ever heard of Rush Limbaugh being a hardcore junkie pedophile!

I mean, I've never heard ANYONE ELSE mention Rush Limbaugh being a hardcore pedophile junkie!

Really?






( ;-) )

[yardwork]

16. Many people say that Rush Limbaugh is a hardcore junkie pedophile.

I'm not saying this. I'm pointing out that many other people have said so. Or at least some people. My question is why is the mainstream media so uncurious about this issue? Don't they care? Don't they want to know?

Why can't Rush Limbaugh put an end to speculation about whether or not he is a hardcore junkie pedophile by simply proving it if he's not? Why is he hiding? What is he hiding?

DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW??????????111111

[Democat]

14. Limbaugh only supports McCain because they are both WHITE!

Racist asshole!

[truthisfreedom]

15. Limbaugh is all about race.

And every other type of divisive, hateful bullshit he manages to spew from his hillbilly-heroin-addled head hole.
