By his OWN description of what makes someone a racist, HE'S A RACIST!
March 19, 2007
RUSH: These people are racists. You know, the racists in our society, Ted, are these white liberals. They're the ones that notice your skin color before anything else, and they're the ones deciding whose skin color is dark enough and therefore who's authentic enough and who's been down for the struggle. It's those people doing this. It's not me. It's not "talk radio."

RUSH : And for Barack Obama, a -- well, he's a half-minority --
January 24, 2007
RUSH: Hey, Barack Obama has picked up another endorsement: Halfrican American actress Halle Berry. "As a Halfrican American, I am honored to have Ms. Berry's support, as well as the support of other Halfrican Americans," Obama said. He didn't say it, but -- anyway

RUSH: These polls on how one-third of blue-collar white Democrats won't vote for Obama because he's black, and -- but he's not black. Do you know he has not one shred of African-American blood? He doesn't have any African -- that's why when they asked whether he was authentic, whether he's down for the struggle. He's Arab. You know, he's from Africa. He's from Arab parts of Africa. He's not -- his father was -- he's not African-American. The last thing that he is is African-American.

RUSH: How about these poor Somali pirates? One of the funniest things I have ever seen. They start out, they hijacked this hundred-million-dollar ship, a hundred million dollars worth of oil from Saudi Arabia, and they demand a ransom that's not nearly high enough, I think it was five or seven million bucks. We on this program urged them to up the ransom price to at least 15 million. They settled on 10
November 25, 2008
RUSH: They started out with a $10 million ransom on the $100 million dollars of oil they hijacked from the Saudis. Then they heard me make fun of them so they upped their ransom to $25 million; now they've cut the ransom by 10%.

RUSH: I hope all your Joe the Plumbers are unemployed in six months! There.
February 13, 2009
RUSH: I don't want people to be unemployed.
I Hope the Stimulus Package Fails
RUSH: I hope it prolongs the recession. Because people are going to have to figure out here that this is not how economies recover.
February 16, 2009
RUSH: I want this whole plan to bomb out. And the only way this plan will bomb out is if it causes the pain that we know it's going to cause
March 2, 2009
RUSH: Let me tell you how this is being portrayed. When I say that I hope President Obama fails, what some people are saying, "Oh, Limbaugh wants the economy to fail? Limbaugh wants unemployment to stay high. Limbaugh wants the stock market to crash?" No, my friends, and please don't be so gullible that you would believe that interpretation of things. It's the exact opposite that I want. I want people to have jobs. I want people to get the best and highest-paying jobs their ambition and desire will get for them. I want an economy that grows jobs and grows wealth, expands income. I want a stock market that's going great guns because that's where people's investments are.

The day after the election he was hoping that the Americans who voted for Obama would lose their jobs in 6 months, now he protests that he wants Americans to succeed. The way he rationalizes these two contradicting desires is, he wants Americans to suffer the pain of a failed economy until they have LEARNED their LESSON. He wants Americans to SUFFER until they agree with HIM. He wants Americans to SUFFER so he can gloat, "See I Told You I Was Right." Then and only then does he want Americans to prosper.
