RUSH CRUSH

One radio host remains the centerpiece of the nation's discourse on race, and the language is getting stronger: the term "whitie" has surfaced.

"The left-wing jihad against Rush Limbaugh is un-fair and un-American. Rush is being targeted simply because he is a conservative and a leading critic of President Obama's wealth redistribution policies," says Deneen Borelli of Project 21, a black leadership project sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research:

"With conservative blood in the water, it's predictable to see the 'race card duo' - Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton - circling the victim. Since the election of the first black president, they have been searching for some white meat to feed on and Rush just happens to be a juicy target. Whipping up unjustified black anger is their specialty," Ms. Borelli continues.

"Frankly, I see their effort as 'get whitie' - an inherent racist act. It's outrageous that the 'race card duo' are worried about Rush buying a football team following a graphic example of black-on-black gang violence in Chicago - Jackson's home town," she concludes. "As so-called black leaders they should be putting their time and effort in dealing with the human tragedies in the urban community: crime and failing schools, and not a conservative exercising his right to play in the free market."

And Mr. Limbaugh?

"I'll continue to be a great football fan. Those that promoted the failing of the Rams deal will continue to be unhappiest on Earth," he says.

"Democrats inside and outside the Obama White House have declared a 'Public Enemy Number One', and it isn't some vague concept like poverty or terrorism or cancer. It's a radio talk show host named Rush Limbaugh," says Tim Graham of the Media Research Center, who has tracked attacks on the host in "Rush to Ruin," a news analysis released Thursday.

WAIT THERE'S MORE

Frances Rice, chairman of the National Black Republicans Association, also weighed in on Mr. Limbaugh's situation. Brace for impact, please.
