In a remark extraordinary even by the standards of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing radio heavyweight declared on his program Wednesday that the United States needed to return to racially segregated buses.
2009, it is, BTW, for those of you who haven't looked at a calendar lately. And he's calling for segregated buses. But wait, there's more.
He also said:
“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked. “I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things.”
Racism...homosexuality. Exactly the same thing. Even though one is about whom you love, and the other is about what kind of person you hate. And never mind that racism is not inborn. As the song from South Pacific said:
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught...
I find myself wondering, just who taught Rush Limbaugh...
