Limbaugh: We need segregated buses

In a remark extraordinary even by the standards of
conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing
radio heavyweight declared on his program Wednesday that the
United States needed to return to racially segregated buses.

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten
by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “I think the guy’s
wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable
racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here
today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need
segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is
Obama’s America.”

A full transcript of Limbaugh’s comments on his radio show is
available at MediaMatters.org.

Limbaugh’s comments came after a called complained to say that
local law enforcement said the attack probably wasn’t racially
motivated. The incident had been hyped by the conservative
Drudge Report, which posted a video of the fracas.

“Police initially said the beating of the white student by two
black students appeared to be racially motivated,” the
Associated Press wrote. “But police on Tuesday backed away
from that.”

That didn’t stop Limbaugh from making his comments Wednesday.

“In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the
black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right
on,” Limbaugh also said. “I wonder if Obama’s going to come to
come to the defense of the assailants the way he did his
friend Skip Gates up there at Harvard.”
