"There's always the neighborhood dumpster. Now you might find competition with homeless people there…" -Rush Limbaugh
After reading the
Daily Kos Diary, about the Utah elementary students who were humiliated and refused school lunches, I was reminded of this TYT (
The Young Turks) video. You can see and feel the disgust in Cenk Uygur's eyes, as he talks about Limbaugh's 2010 comments, advising parents and children to find their food in dumpsters.
Here are excerpts from the audio. The condescending racial and bigoted slurs are unbelievable:
"Where to find food… Of course the first will be, try your house. It's a thing called the refrigerator. You probably know about it. Try looking there. There are also things in, in what's called, the kitchen of your house - called cupboards. And in those cupboards, most likely, you're going to find Ding Dongs, Twinkies, Lays Rigged Potato Chips, all kinds of dip and maybe a can of corn you don't want. But it WILL be there.
If that doesn't work, try a Happy Meal at McDonald's. You know where McDonald's is. There's the Dollar Menu at McDonald's --and if they don't have Chicken McNuggets, dial 911 and ask for Obama!
There's another place, if none of these options work, to find food. There's always the neighborhood dumpster. Now you might find competition with homeless people there, but there are videos that have been produced to show you how to healthfully dine and how to dumpster dive, and survive until school kicks back up…"
And then there is this quote from 2011:
“If you feed them, if you feed the children, three square meals a day during the school year, how can you expect them to feed themselves in the summer? Wanton little waifs and serfs dependent on the State. Pure and simple.”
~Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show, December 2011
It doesn't get much more vile than a prominent public figure/multi-millionaire (or GOP) attacking the poverty of innocent children. Whether Rush says it in 2010, 2011, or today,
it's fifth, and this is why Americans want him off public radio.
