Limbaugh makes anti-Semitic comments

If anyone is mindlessly daring enough to make this connection, it is Rush Limbaugh.  He compared the letter that Iranian president Ahmadinejad sent to President Bush to the rhetoric coming from "liberal Hollywood Jewish people."  We all know that Ahmadinejad and everyone else in the Iranian theocratic government is anti-Semitic.  But how Jewish people are anti-Semitic would probably boggle the mind of just about anyone.  Nonetheless, you can read the transcript for yourself, as provided by the news watchdog site Media Matters:

RUSH: Onceagain, it's the Democratic talking points, other than Israel, andeven there -- yeah, it's [anti-war activist] Cindy Sheehan talking -- it is,you're right. It's Cindy. It's evensome liberal Hollywood Jewish people talkingpoint. Oh, I'll tell you, the Shelby Steele thing explains a lot. I've runinto so many liberal Jews around the country that are pro-Palestinian. And I've never understoodit, and they've kind of given me indications, "Well, it's just not fair;they're just a minority, and the U.N. [United Nations] gave these people acountry, and they pushed these other people out."

It'sall -- it's wrapped up in Shelby Steele. It's white supremacy; it's whiteguilt. And it even is relevant in the Israeli-Palestinian issue when you have -- how doyou explain The New York Times constantly editorializingagainst Israel?

Of course that does not even compare to some of his even crazier quotes.

Limbaugh and Coulter blame illegal immigration on Democrats

Here is Rush Limbaugh unfiltered from a few days ago on the issue of immigration:

"Hey, and while I'm at it, if you're Al Qaeda, come on in over the Southern border. The Democrats will take your votes as well."

In her latest column, Ann Coulter also blamed immigration problems on the Democrats:

"As hardworking as illegal immigrants are when they come here, they areimmediately demagogued by liberals into adopting the victimhood pose sopopular on college campuses. Everybody wants to act like his ancestorswere brought here on slave ships."

It's nice to know that the Dems are so loved.
