Or, as the MSM will report if they report this at all: "another isolated incident". You may recall that when Chinese President Hu Jintao was visiting, Rush Limbaugh ( I cringe just writing that name) decided to engage in some typical right wing racist humor and mock his accent by doing an on air minstrel show impression of him. I refuse to repeat that here but if you missed this, go here
Well now: California Lawmaker Receives Racist Death Threat Warning ‘Rush Limbaugh Will Kick Your Ch-nk Ass’
WARNING: this will contain some nasty language down below.
In response to this juvenile and racist behavior, California State Senator Leland Yee called for Limbaugh to apologize which of course he didn't, choosing instead to double down on his bombast.
Naturally this only served to encourage the dittohead brigade to follow their leader, resulting in this disgusting piece of filth being sent to Senator Yee's office. Don't say I didn't warn you above that this was vile.
The CA Senate Sargeant At Arms is investigating and I hope they involve the FBI or DOJ but no doubt this will be spun as yet another "isolated incident" ( I've lost count of how many of these isolated incidents this makes) with a "move along, nothing to see here" attitude.
If anyone from Color of Change sees this, I hope it spurs another attempt to organize a boycott of Limbaugh's advertisers.
In the meantime, as vile as this is, I'd suggest printing it out and the next time anyone you meet talks positively of Limbaugh, show this to them as ask them to defend it.
Update: Thanks for the recs and comments. Please also see Tom P's diary to sign the petition to condemn Rush Limbaugh's remarks and to call on his sponsors to pull their advertisements from his program
Update2: Ed Schultz is covering this story on his show tonight and State Senator Lee is his guest.
