Limbaugh: If Obama Faces Racism, ‘How the Hell’ Did Oprah Happen?

Limbaugh to Oprah: ‘How the Hell Did You Become Who You Are’ If Obama Faces Racism? (Mediaite)

Rush Limbaugh returned to one of his favorite targets on Friday’s radio show: Oprah Winfrey. This time, Limbaugh seized on comments Winfrey made to the BBC about Americans showing “disrespect” to President Barack Obama because of his race. The host couldn’t wrap is head around that concept, asking “then how the hell did you become who you are?”

Limbaugh was particularly outraged that Winfrey chose to highlight Rep. Joe Wilson’s (who she referred to as a senator) “You lie!” moment as an example of this “disrespectful” behavior. “Why hasn’t anyone in your audience ever said ‘You lie!’?” he asked, “because you have.” He said Wilson was “right” to yell out his accusation during the State of the Union because “Obama was lying.”

“These people are not nearly as smart as they think they are,” he continued. “They are embarrassingly ignorant… It’s not because he was black! It’s because he was lying, Oprah! He’s lying now! He just told the biggest presidential whopper in history!”
