I notice he wrote a spirited column about the nuances in Michelle O’s “first time I’m really proud of this country” statement. But I guess a different standard exists for white guys. No nuances allowed.

"If he is successful, Limbaugh and the other clowns will face tough sledding in a radically different world."

I view that as a threat. This puke may not like this radical "New World" he seems to want. He should read "A Brave New World".

Fortunately, we don’t have to spend any time or energy hoping Leonard Pitts fails. He already has.

Leftists have been claiming for years that they “support the troops”, but not their mission. Well, Rush supports Obama but not his mission.

Leonard Pitts is as dumb as a door nail.

But, but, but... this is a (ahem) "historical" presidency, right Leonard? No time for intelligence and common sense. Throw "content of character" out the window, who cares?.... ain't that right, Leonard?

pig.

I wonder if this guy ever wanted Bush to fail, or spoke out against Bush’s policies?

That would be the proper response. No one knows who this person is. Mention Limbaugh and hope Rush acknowledges him and then everyone will know who he is. Someone is looking for attention here...

Limbaugh’s devotees, complaining that their hero has been misquoted, misunderstood or otherwise mistreated. “What Rush meant was ... yadda yadda yadda.”

Here's the exact quote from Rush: "I got a request here from a major American print publication. "Dear Rush: For the Obama [Immaculate] Inauguration we are asking a handful of very prominent politicians, statesmen, scholars, businessmen, commentators, and economists to write 400 words on their hope for the Obama presidency. We would love to include you. If you could send us 400 words on your hope for the Obama presidency, we need it by Monday night, that would be ideal." Now, we're caught in this trap again. The premise is, what is your "hope." My hope, and please understand me when I say this. I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, "Well, I hope he succeeds. We've got to give him a chance." Why? They didn't give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I'm not talking about search-and-destroy, but I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed."

Now Leonard, you a$$clown, you figure out what is misquoted, misunderstood, and who was mistreated.

“I hope he fails.” — Rush Limbaugh

Hey, Leonard - you moron...

You forgot the first part of his sentence (wink, "forgot"...), which is "If his policies are socialist, I hope he fails."

Way to continue being a horrible liberal columnist.

Hmmm. I wonder. Did Leonard Pitts EVER complain about any programs or policies promulgated by President George W. Bush or say he hopes they wouldn't succeed? If so, then Mr. Pitts perpetrated some 'outrages' of his own, and doesn't really have room to talk about Rush Limbaugh.

But we all know that, don't we, and it won't make a hill of beans worth of difference in the MSM, which did the same as Mr. Pitts for the last 8 years, but seems to be suffering from collective amnesia in that regard.

I like to go a step further and explain how their policies on abortion, welfare, education, social security, and estate taxes are designed to keep a high percentage of the city dwelling black population subservient makes them a much larger racist than any of their bile directed towards me or conservatives as a whole... :)

"And that’s all Limbaugh is in it for."

What makes you say that?
