- Ok, how about this: On his TV show he showed a clip of some monkeys
- running around annoying some people driving on a road. While this
- clip is being shown, Mr. Limburger narrates for the audience, "oh, look
- there's another welfare person trying to take something away from you...
- oh, look at all the trouble they're going through, they're even climbing
- into the cars, oh no..." Whether it was malicious intent or not, it was
- very obvious what connections along racial lines this could be taken as.
- If it wasn't intended as such, then Rush is perhaps even more stupid
- than I thought he was if he didn't realize how that clip could be interpreted.
