Rush Limbaugh: "Obama is a disgrace" Quote: Limbaugh, hitting back over usage in ad, says Obama "stoking racism"
Rush Limbaugh, featured in a new, Spanish-language Barack Obama ad, says the commercial distorts his past statements and amounts to "race-baiting" by the Democratic nominee.
The commercial, to air in Limbaugh's home state of Florida as well as Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada, features a picture of the conservative talk show host and shows his words on the screen: "Mexicans are stupid and unqualified" and "Shut your mouth or get out." It was first reported by the Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe.
"Obama is now stoking racism in the country," Limbaugh wrote in an email. "Obama is a disgrace - he wants the public to think he is Mr. Nice Guy while his thugs are in Alaska looking for dirt on Palin and he runs race-baiting ads and lies about what he has done and what McCain has done."
As for the quotes, Limbaugh said they were taken out of context.

The "agent of change" is in full race-bait mode.

Limbaugh is upset someone is taking quotes out of context and using them for his own gain. Hmmm. I think there's a word for it when these sorts of things happen - funny.

You seriously have to wonder about the intelligence of anyone who would listen to what a drug addict gas-bag hypocrite would say. Great source!

If you don't recognize the irony of Rush Limbaugh whining that Obama is distorting his past statements, then you have no sense of irony at all. 
I'm sure Obama will be heartbroken that he will not be receiving Rush Limbaugh's vote. I know that he was really counting on that one.
