I hope 70,000 people surround the convention center and yell “fuck you, Lush!”
Limbaugh: That ‘joke’ Obama can’t fill ‘Black Panther Stadium’
Radio provocateur Rush Limbaugh didn’t just wonder. He asserted Wednesday that the stadium cancellation surely revealed that the president is in some sort of dire political straits. Along with Obama’s inability to draw a crowd, he also imagined what a crippling psychological blow this must be.
“When you have the ego Obama has, trust me folks,” Limbaugh said, “I know where of which I speak –you’re used to filling auditoriums and you don’t fill them any more—that’s big. It is not new. He has not been filling arenas of 18 or 20,000.”
This is because Obama has become a “joke,” and “people laugh at him." Per his standard shtick, Limbaugh couldn’t let the topic go without a racially-charged provocation.
“Now he can’t fill up this 73,000 Black Panther Stadium,” Limbaugh offered. “This does not make for a healthy environment and, I’m telling you, when the crowds no longer show up, when you’re no longer drawing crowds, that is a sobering day, that is a tough reality to face.”
