Rush Limbaugh Calls Oprah Fat regarding her alleged Racist incident in Switzerland

Rush Limbaugh Calls 'The Oprah' 'Fat' Regarding Purse Purchase Incident - 8/9/13



August 9, 2013 - On his radio show Friday, Rush Limbaugh weighed in on Oprah Winfrey's recent brush with discrimination, wondering if maybe the clerk who turned away one of the richest women in the world was not being "racist" but instead just thought the media mogul was too "fat" to be shopping in her store. Much as President Obama recently revealed how he has experienced racism in the form of women "clutching their purses" when he stepped into an elevator, Winfrey this week told Entertainment Tonight a story about how she believes she was discriminated against in a Switzerland shop. She said a clerk refused to show her a handbag because, suggesting Winfrey would "not be able to afford" the $38,000 price tag. "I said, 'OK, thank you so much, you're probably right, I can't afford it' and walked out of the store. Now why did she do that?" Winfrey wondered.

After retelling the story to his radio listeners, Limbaugh said she's looking at it all wrong. "If I were Oprah, I'd be so happy I could go someplace and not be recognized," he said, adding, "we've all been insulted by retail people." Limbaugh found it hard to believe that race played any factor in the incident, saying, "Maybe it's because The Oprah's fat!"

"Maybe the judgement that The Oprah couldn't afford a $38,000 bag had nothing to do with her race, because aren't the Swiss enlightened in that regard?" Limbaugh asked. "There isn't any racism in Europe, right?"

Continuing down the path regarding Winfrey's weight, Limbaugh asked, "Don't most people think that the fat and the obese are poor and stupid? Where do you see fat people? You see them at places where things don't cost very much."

Rush Limbaugh denies the Rumors that Cumulus Media plans to drop his show

7/29/13 - Rush Limbaugh began his radio show Monday morning by addressing the news that Cumulus Media, the second-biggest radio broadcaster in the country, plans to drop his show from its stations by the end of the year. Limbaugh assured his readers that "nothing is going to change" in terms of their ability to hear him every morning. "There was another POLITICO story that ran last night on this program," Limbaugh began, referring to Dylan Byers' report. "Someday, I am looking forward to detailing all of this for you," Limbaugh continued, but for now he said he "must use proper business restraint."

"Suffice it to say, nothing is going to happen that you will notice," he reported. "Nothing is going to change. You will be able to get this radio program on as many, if not more radio stations down the road than it is on now."

Much in the same way that Mediaite's Noah Rothman laid out this morning why the host "is not going anywhere," Limbaugh said this story amounts to nothing more than a "public business negotiation."

"I just want to assure you," Limbaugh concluded, "everything's cool."

Notably, Limbaugh couched his language with enough loopholes so that if that report that Cumulus is dropping his show turns out to be true, he could still be right that "you will be able to get this radio program" on as many stations as you can now. As for whether listeners will "notice" the change, if other stations end up picking up his show, listeners will still be able to hear it, but they may have to program a new station on their radio.

Rush Limbaugh Slams Obama Economic Speech: 'There's Something Pathologically Wrong Here'

July 24, 2013 - RUSH LIMBAUGH: Oh, jeez. Folks, I can't react to this without... there's something pathologically wrong here. In the first place, "Washington has taken its eye off the ball, and I'm here to say this needs to stop." Now, I mentioned, I told you I heard that bite, I heard him say it live. He is Washington! This is the Limbaugh Theorem. He's articulating it himself. It's coming out of his own mouth. He's out there in Illinois claiming Washington hasn't been paying enough attention to the economy. They've been looking at the IRS. They've been looking at Benghazi. They have been looking into Obamacare, and they haven't been working on the economy, and (imitation) "I'm here in Illinois to make sure that they refocus in Washington," as though he has had nothing to do with it.

Rush Limbaugh Calls Into The Five: Praises Fox News, Battles With Beckel, And Slams Media Over Zimmerman

Rush Limbaugh called into Fox's The Five this afternoon for a wide-ranging interview that included open praise for Fox News, his thoughts on the George Zimmerman trial, immigration reform, and the future of the Republican Party.

Limbaugh kicked off the conversation by answering questions about whether he told his listeners to "stop watching Fox." He reiterated what he said on the air Tuesday afternoon that he meant the remark towards particular liberal pundits on television. He chalked the controversy up to the media's "desire" to "drive a wedge" among two of the more popular outlets for conservative media consumers — Fox and Limbaugh.

The radio host then offered up his thoughts on why The Five has been successful: "It's real," he said. "You guys make the show because it's a personality driven and it's just real. It just happens and it's relevant, it's topical. And all of you are relatively intelligent."

Co-host Andrea Tantaros asked the radio host to explain the nickname he gave her: Angela Tarantula. "It's a sexist answer," Limbaugh warned. "I come from a long-ago era where men could be men and stereotypical humor didn't offend anybody. You are so dominant and certain and confident I wouldn't want to mess with you."

The group then talked news-of-the-day with Limbaugh, asking him for his thoughts on the media coverage of the Zimmerman trial: "I think the media, you all excluded, is invested in a guilty verdict. And they are invested in a guilty verdict that is racial."

On immigration reform: "I really believe the Democrat Party needs a permanent underclass. They need a permanent dependent class of people low-educated, low-wage, low-skill dependent on government. They need that. Now as Americans climb the ladder of success and elevate themselves through the middle class and are less dependent on government, the Democrat races to replace them. They clearly see 11 million votes here."

On whether the GOP is attempting to appeal to some of the Democratic base through immigration reform: "We got the greatest opportunity — the Republicans do — to contrast themselves with what the Democrat Party stands for and they're not using it. They're trying to be Democrat Party light. They're trying to echo the Democrat Party, be perceived by them and liked by Democrat voters. It's a losing game."

And on the recent NSA scandal: "They've been doing that for ages," he said before asking to come back and talk on that issue in greater detail.

Rush Limbaugh: Media Agitating For Race Riots In Regard To Zimmerman Trial\


 July 3, 2013 - Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh declared on Wednesday that the media's coverage of the trial of George Zimmerman for the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin is designed to instigate race riots in the event the defendant is acquitted. He expressed his disappointment over the state of race relations in America, noting that the election of President Barack Obama was supposed to move the nation close to racial harmony.

"I have been so dumb," Limbaugh began. "I've been so gullible and just too trusting."

"I really thought that one of the reasons that we elected and then reelected Barack Obama was so that there would not be any more race riots," he continued. "I thought the election of the first black president would end racial strife, and so did millions of Americans who voted for Obama on that basis."

"Now we actually have media people agitating for race riots in regard to the George Zimmerman trial because the prosecution in this trial is imploding," Limbaugh declared. "We have a media that is totally invested in Zimmerman being found guilty and handing and then electrocuted and then drowned and then shot and then cremated for whatever happened to Trayvon Martin."

"Such high hopes," he concluded. "I really thought it was going to be the end to all this."

Rush Limbaugh Blog : Fox News Ignored My Requests To Talk About Immigration

July 2, 2013 - Rush Limbaugh said that Fox News ignored his requests to talk about immigration during his interview on Tuesday. Limbaugh spoke on "Fox and Friends," where he talked to the hosts about the situation in Egypt, the relationship between Palestine and Israel and the politics of health care reform. Later on his radio show, he said that the number one topic he wanted to discuss was immigration, but that the network did not seem to want to get into it.

"Now I told the people at Fox that I wanted to talk about this today three or four times and they wouldn't do it," he claimed. "They were not interested in bringing this subject up. I wanted to talk about this in relationship to the current state of the Republican party and they wouldn't do it."

"I had to bring it up myself to whatever extent I did, and that by the way, is quite telling to me," Limbaugh added.

Earlier on "Fox and Friends," he had warned that the Republican party was getting "skunked" on the issue of immigration reform, and that if it continued to do so, it could lose the House in 2014.

"You think that's a possibility?" Kilmeade asked.
