Rush Limbaugh Boycott Gains Steam

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Rush Limbaugh's imitation of the Chinese language during a recent speech made by Chinese President Hu Jintao has stirred a backlash among Asian-American lawmakers in California and nationally.

California state Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, is leading a fight in demanding an apology from the radio talk show host for what he and others view as racist and derogatory remarks against the Chinese people.

In recent days, the state lawmaker has rallied civil rights groups in a boycott of companies like Pro Flowers, Sleep Train and Domino's Pizza that advertise on Limbaugh's national talk radio show.

"The comments that he made – the mimicking of the Chinese language – harkens back to when I was a little boy growing up in San Francisco and those were hard days, rather insensitive days," Yee said in an interview Thursday. "You think you've arrived and all of a sudden get shot back to the reality that you're a second-class citizen."

1. Boycott the overpaid draft-dodging Republicon propagandists

Down with smug, smarmy, responsibility-shirking, draft-dodging Republicon drug-abusing fatcat propaganda pimps.

3. Good!

Limbaugh has been spewing hatred and racism from his greasy lips for years. I would offer that this effort should be aimed squarely at the LOCAL advertisers of the Limbaugh Show as well as the national advertisers.

8. The Chinese are in charge now and will not take the crap from Rush that the USA has taken for years.

[Enthusiast]

9. Insults to the Chinese more

clearly expose his racism. He has little sense of propriety as was illustrated by his remarks on Donavon McNab. Every day he skirts the edge of outright Nazi style racism with things like the Barack the Magic Negro song.
