The Far Right's Rhetoric

By The Daily Dish
May 31 2009, 5:22 AM ET

Ta-Nehisi is concerned after the Tiller assassination about the consequences of Limbaugh statements like this:

How do you get promoted in a Barack Obama administration? By hating white people or even saying you do, or that they're not good or put 'em down, whatever...make white people the new oppressed minority and they're going right along with it because they're shutting up. They're moving to the back of the bus and I can't use that drinking fountain, okay. I can't use that restroom, okay.

TNC notes:

Anyone who knows anything about American history knows what lies at the end of this kind of rhetoric.
