Here's Jake Tapper's comments on the "Stupid Mexican" quote:

Quote:
Second, the quotes of Limbaugh’s are out of context.

Railing against NAFTA in 1993, Limbaugh said, “If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine ‘cause those are the kinds of jobs NAFTA is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I’m serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do – let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.”

Not one of his most eloquent moments, to be sure, but his larger point was that NAFTA would mean that unskilled stupid Mexicans would be doing the jobs of unskilled stupid Americans.

I’m not going to defend how he said it, but to act as if this was just a moment of Limbaugh slurring Mexicans is not accurate. Though again, certainly if people were offended I could understand why.
Obvious as the brown on Cali's Obama-butt-kissing nose.

So NOW you like ABC News. I will need to keep that in mind next time when you ask for a source.

Godless heathen.

I agree that it's misleading to put someone else's voice with Hagan's picture. They could've made the point that she reached out to Godless Americans PAC without that.

You can do it!

It's not the source but the logic that's significant. Clearly Limbaugh did not intend those comments the way they were used in the ad.

But you just can't bring yourself to admit that, so you cling to the lie.

Tex mantra:

When in trouble, change subject, keep changing subject, distract, change subject again, make claims about lying, change subject, declare victory!

You are letting us down, texie. I know you have better than this in your arsenal. Don't hold back!

Here's another classy move by Democrats: using state agencies to do negative background research on Joe the Plumber.

This guy's not a candidate. He didn't seek out Obama. He asked him a tough question which Obama botched, and now they're after him.

I said the ad was misleading.

You stand by the Limbaugh lies.
