Rush Limbaugh says Americans voted for Obama to 'erase slavery'

Jefferson's slaves were constantly employed, working up to 14-hour days. Although Jefferson provided for his slaves better than most, he rarely considered their freedom. The labor, even of a companion like Jupiter, was too valuable. Writing on Jupiter's death, Thomas acknowledged the loss both emotionally and practically. "I am, sorry for him," Jefferson wrote of Jupiter, "as well as sensible he leaves a void in my administration which I cannot fill up." Thomas Jefferson kept detailed records inJupiter received woolen cloth, shirting, a hat and summer clothes. Some slaves were granted more than others in this year, and a few received nothing at all, as recorded in his Farm Book of the food, clothing, and blankets that he distributed to his slaves.

More lazy leftist journalism. He is saying the people who voted for Obama may have felt that way. I want to thank you for tackling the really important issues of the day. I'm sure glad your are not interested in what really happened in Benghazi. Or the ongoing recession or record unemployment. I am so glad you are don't question your government, your are only interested in attacking those that do. Walter Duranty would be very proud of all of you - look him up as I certain you Intellectual JOURNALISTS have never heard of him before.

Talk about living in a state of denial!! Dumb Limbaugh like most of his teaparty racist pals just cannot come to terms with the fact that the majority of Americans canned them, mostly for been stupid and ignorant.

WHAT AN ARSE!!! My vote was for a last ditch effort in saving the country and middle/lower class from total collapse after eight years of Bush's inept presidency. Anyone ever notice this jerk is always inventing problems yet seldom offers real solutions? He is a parasite on humanity. Am I all alone in not seeing a black man, but just a man serving us in the office of president? Rush and his narrow-minded minions need to stand aside and let this republic move upward and onward.

To an extent he is right.

Limbaugh is one of the most despicable demagogues this country has ever produced. This guy never allows facts or the truth to seep into his verbal cesspool. Deep down his idols are undeniably Joseph Goebbels and Julius Streicher, the crafty engineers of the Nazi propaganda machinery.

"Rush Limbaugh is a BIG Fat Slob". And I thank you, Michael Moore for allowing me to quote you.

Bostonians voted JFK's grandpa, 'Honey" Fitz, as the first irish mayor of their city because of what the British had done in Ireland; Abe Ribicoff was voted the first Jewish governor of Connecticut, because of the Holocaust; Mitt Romney was voted the fist Mormon governor of Massachusetts because of the slaying of Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Ill. All makes sense when you think about it.

"It all depends on what the meaning of 'is' is". It is all about a rebellion against any symbol of authority. It is all about license and not freedom. It is a marxist onslaught against Jonathan Edwards. "Sense and sensibility" has been replaced by Ellen.

I believe Limbaugh is a racist, rich, old Republican who just can`t accept that his white status is losing its’ lustre. Once he loses his podium he will fade into oblivion where he belongs. The fact that a man in the USA who is visibly non-white became President of the USA is so galling to him and his privileged white cronies that will say and do anything to try and explain away how this could possibly have happened. He just cannot accept that someone he believes to be inferior to him because of his color could be so immensely superior to him. He seems to be like "white trailer trash" who are happy with their status just because they are not black. Limbaugh has an explanation for the 2008 election, but that explanation is flawed if applied to the 2012 election because he was already elected. Oh wait a minute, there are other excuses for the 2012 election loss. Chris Christie & Hurricane Sandy. The fact that the smug, self righteous, egotistical Romney and his gang of rich, gun toting old white men couldn't buy the election was a real comeuppance for them. The real problem for Limbaugh and his old white cronies is how to fool anyone who is not a white male into believing the party will change and get them to vote Republican but still keep the control in the grasp of the rich old white men. The GOP are the dregs of society in the USA. The only thing they have is money and they are fighting tooth and nail to maintain their financial status and keep the poor and disadvantaged where they are financially so they can take advantage of cheap labor to increase their wealth.

Not right at all....that is not why people voted for Obama.

Surely you understand he is echoing the stupid things a number of people have said. You can find these stupid people all over the internet. Even in Congress where one Black member said she is a freed slave. He doesn't belive those things. He is trying to make a point which obviously you choose not to understand so you can express your own bias.

He's probably right.
