Rush Limbaugh Hearts Vernon Robinson
Vernon’s made a new buddy-in-hate, good ol’ boy Rush Limbaugh… and he’s bubbling over with joy. Hmm.. let me try to recreate the vibe of Vern’s email newsletter for you:
RUSH: You’ve gotta hear this campaign commercial. There’s a man running for office as a Republican, running for Congress in … North Carolina. His name is Vernon Robinson. The audio is what we have here, obviously. The video to his commercial is … on his website. (Laughing.) I don’t even want to characterize it. Just listen to this commercial.
RUSH: Goes out with Leave It To Beaver music. I should point out Vernon Robinson is black, and when he mentions Sharpton and Jackson — have you seen the spot? When he gets to Jackson, he found a mug shot of Jesse Jackson and that’s what he runs and he found a picture of Sharpton with an Afro from years and years ago. (Laughing.) This is a national campaign. I mean, he’s talking about national issues. They all have impact locally, but I thought it was the Democrats that were going to nationalize the election this year! I thought Democrats were going to do that. That is Vernon Robinson who is running for Congress … He’s getting grief like you can’t believe. This is one of the best political ads in a long, long time, and can I ask you: When you heard that, folks, when you heard that, weren’t you going, “Yeah! Okay, yeah, yeah,” and, “Why don’t more Republicans talk like this? Why don’t more of them say these are the problems that we face?” And here’s Vernon Robinson in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, saying: I’m a pioneer, and I will take the arrows.
…RUSH: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - this is Jean. Welcome to the program.
JEAN: Well hello, mega dittos. … I wanted to say Vernon is a man.
RUSH: Do you know Vernon Robinson?
JEAN: No. I don’t know him personally. I just love his ah what can you say. He stands for something, regardless.
RUSH: Yes he does.
JEAN: I love a man. That’s my man.
RUSH: He stands for a lot of things.
JEAN: Yes. Besides yourself, that’s one I wouldn’t mind marrying.
RUSH: (Laughing) … I’ll tell you what’s do. She’s calling about an ad. Vernon Robinson is running for Congress as a Republican in … North Carolina. He has one of the best television ads out there in a long time. We have the audio to it. We are going to link to this at rushlimbaugh.com, link to his website because the video of this ad will start playing automatically once you log on to his website. … We mention Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in this ad. And the picture of the Reverend Jackson in this ad is his mugshot. … The picture of the Reverend Sharpton is back in the big jewelry, big hair, heavier days. I think he’s got a medallion on. He’s wearing a cleric’s collar …
RUSH: And of course it concludes with Leave it to Beaver type music. That is just a great, great ad. And by the way, again we were told the Democrats are going to be running a national campaign in their House races this year. Sounds to me like Vernon Robinson, who is black by the way, and he is a target now, they are targeting this guy like - he’s going to be targeted not to the extent Clarence Thomas was — but maybe Michael Steele, Ken Blackwell, Lynn Swann. This is, I mean pardon the French here, this is off the plantation. He has escaped and wandered off the liberal Democrat plantation. This is not allowed. This is not permitted. If they could, they’d grab this guy and send him to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and let Hillary as Nurse Ratchet try to get his mind right. Either that or send him to the warden in Cool Hand Luke and put him in the box. I can’t tell you folks. This wouldn’t have happened 20 years ago. You wouldn’t have had a black … congressional candidate in North Carolina running a spot like this. And mocking the Reverend Jackson and Al Sharpton. But it’s a new day out there. Vernon Robinson, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
…RUSH: Folks, don’t panic out there. Vernon Robinson’s website is not broken. The link is not broken. We’ve just shut down their server. We’ve overloaded the server at the Vernon Robinson campaign site where we’ve got the link posted to see his great TV ad. Just be patient. And as people get in and get out of there, the traffic will subside and you will be able to get in. But the site’s working fine. We’ve sent more people than their server can handle and this happens, we shut down servers routinely on this program.
Without your immediate financial support, Vernon cannot create new ads and put them on TV and radio! Please help Vernon make more ads that Rush Limbaugh says every Republican should be using.
Limbaugh played the Robinson ad twice. It was almost as if he was thinking, “Yeehaw! Someone else can hate more than me!” Remember kids, free speech is a beautiful thing, as it can help us find the bigots amongst us!

I’m sorry, how is Vernon Robinson a bigot? Because he’s black? Or because he won’t be intimidated to shut up?
Joe
you’re kidding me right? homosexuals, lesbians (with a misspelled dike sign, i love that touch), feminists and aliens hyperbole? nah, you’re right, he’s as moderate as they come.
I heard this ad on Rush today. I am so very glad to finally hear someone with enough guts and brains to tell the truth. I am enjoying hearing liberal idiots holler and scream. These brain dead politically correct immoral stupid by choice liberals cannot handle truth at all.
This is great. Lets have about 100 more just like him.
vernon is pandering to the religous right, just as bush did with the gay marraige ammendment and congress will be doing soon with flag burning legislation.
how about dealing with issues that affect all americans, regardless of their ideology, like health care reform and education… or is that concept too “liberal” for you.
Vernon jackson represents everything I stand for. I stood for Martin Luther King’s march on Washington. Then, I could be proud to be called a liberal. However, the definition of liberal has been changed to mean someone who has little or no respect for God, someone who has little or no family values, someone who dispises or has little respect to no respect for the American flag, someone who who borders on or is actively anti-American. I used to relate to liberals but today’s liberals have crossed the line to become an entity that is against everything that I stand for.
The founding fathers of theis nation stood for something. They were liberal in their thinking of having a nation under God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all. These, in essence, are the values I stand for. Now, all of us who have these values are considered conservative. Interesting!
why do you care about the definition of “liberal?” be your own man and stand up for what you believe in. everything you list is part of a definition someone else has carved out for being “liberal.”
yeah, except for gays, lesbians and black people (and if in today’s world of global economies and complexities, anyone else). i’m all about those words from our founding fathers, but unless we view them through the lens of today, they’re nothing more than words.
if you think *that* is liberal, then you got me dead to rights.
The definition of liberal is very important. It is essential to understand that the definition of liberal has changed significantly since Martin Luther King’s March on Washington. I could relate to being a liberal in that era. My beliefs have not changed but the application of the term liberal has changed greatly. In its current application, it no longer relates to people like me who appreciate having one nation under God and all that proceeds from that. I still see things the way I did back then but with greater appreciation and maturity. The lens of today needs cleaning. It’s been blurred by special interests that represent a less ungodly or ungodly America. Just like MArtin Luther, Dr. King would never sell out on proclaiming his Christian values. Like the founding fathers of this nation, he took a stand that has made this country a better place to live. If Vernon Robinson rattles peoples’ senses, then good. The good people of this nation have been falling. I stand with Vernon in his quest to rally the American people to vote for righteousness and a strong representation for godly Americans (black, white, yellow, red, or brown).
but not gays or lesbians (because, you know, they’re not god’s people) or men and women that are hired by these “godly americans” to work for less than a living wage… because they’re illegal. right?
i would vote for vernon for president!!!!!
