Rush Limbaugh: A Racist Selling Your Products
When is enough, enough?
How many times can Rush Limbaugh get on the mic at a radio station (770AM, WABC in New York and hundred elsewhere via his own network: Excellence In Broadcasting), which is supported by paid advertisers, and not be held accountable to the hateful venom he spews? Every advertiser on his show should immediately pull their sponsorship today. Why? Limbaugh just called Mayor Nagin, “Mayor Naeger.”
“… Mayor Naeger, yeah, Ray Nagin wants…” is the exact quote.
I don’t have access to his radio show to jot down his advertisers, but Barnes and Noble advertises on his website. I’ll never shop there again.

You do realize there is a Congresssman by that name: Representative Patrick A. Naeger?
Yep. So if it wasn’t a conscious racist “slip,” it was definitely a sub-conscious Freudian slip:
“… In addition to his legislative duties, Rep. Naeger is the executive vice-president and partner of a pharmacy and medical equipment and supply business…”
Rush probably has his name at the top of a be nice to list of Congressmen. Either way, Rush Limbaugh is still a sham and a racist pig. It’s not like this comment came out of left field.
Listen to the clip… he actually emphasized the pronunciation of “Nager.” He needs a good smackdown, similar to Al Campanis and Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder.
