Last week the Los Angeles Times attacked Gateway Pundit for reposting a picture of Michelle Obama as a brazen queen picking her next upscale vacation getaway.

They said the post was racist. On Friday they repeated their attacks on this blog.

John Nolte at Big Journalism called out the LA Times for projecting their own racism on this blog, Gateway Pundit. Nolte noted that the LA Times used the term “uppity negro” in their report on the First Lady.

Today Rush Limbaugh defended this blog from the bogus attacks by the LA Times.
From the Rush Limbaugh website:

Then there was late last week some blogger, somebody took a picture of Marie Antoinette, a painting of Marie Antoinette and put Michelle Obama’s face in it. I think it was a blogger, I forget where it was. Anyway, people in the media who saw it immediately started charging racism and insensitivity and how dare they make fun of the first lady this way.

I don’t know how you get that. How in the world, there was nothing racial about it. How you gonna put Michelle Obama in a picture and not portray here as African-American? How do you do that? There’s no racism in it at all. But anyway, that was the allegation. The point about this is, though, if you look at Michelle Obama and her vacations and her separate travel, she does consider herself royalty. And I have a theory, folks. I’m not retracting anything I’ve said about liberals, Marxists and their ideological aims, their idea-driven aims.

But I also think that there is something else that explains all of this, the Solyndras, the health care waivers, the entire regime — and I really think it’s nothing more complicated than money. I’ll never forget Marion Barry, the 1984 Democrat convention, San Francisco. And I don’t know what specifically he was referring to, but the theme of his speech was, “Tonight, tonight we’re on the inside,” meaning, “Okay, finally we’ve got our chance to be in charge of things.” And then when Mayor David Dinkins was elected mayor for life in New York City, I remember some of the civil rights coalition people saying, “All right, now it’s our turn to have the money.”

Now, I believe that in addition to whatever drives Barack Obama and his party ideologically, also near the top of the list is the pursuit of money without having to work for it; being able to pass it out to their friends and set their friends up to be wealthy for the rest of their lives. I think there’s all kinds of that going on, too; and I think if you look at the way the Obamas live — with Michelle and her separate vacations and not being concerned about how much it costs to take separate airplanes — there’s no question in my mind, whatever else they view this as, that they view this as an opportunity to live high on the hog without having it cost them a dime.

    And I created this one – ALSO NOT RACIST – although some do have plenty against French Royalty:

    Conservatives still get heartburn, waste time and energy and are generally disarmed when a Liberal accuses them of RACISM.

    (Admittedly, at first it’s a natural reaction when whatever you did or said was not intended to be racists.)

    But, Stop worrying about.

    If you do respond to the charge, you’re playing the Liberal Game – the same game they have been playing for over three decades.

    Liberals will continue to use Black America to get what they want as long as they can. They now have a perfected game with Obama in the White House; and you know the most effective way to keep it that way is to use their tried-and-tested offensive tool: RACISM.

    What really happens when a Liberal cries RACISM? He further segregates himself and Black America from a united populous. He draws an unwelcomed distinction in an argument where the distinction never existed.
    He shuts down needed dialogue.

    He will do it, every time.

    You’ve got to give the liberals one thing the stay on message: Racism. It is inevitable that they will find something heinous with anything to do with fun or laughter or even telling the truth.

    They don’t know who they are messing with when the mess with the right. The people who are doing the talking our pretty big in the public.

    Newt
    Rush a real legend
    O’Reilly

    But the American people must realize that this is no beauty pageant, nor is it who has the best teleprompter it is about bringing the TRUTH and if the truth doesn’t kill you it will get them in the end.

    Well yeah, but its not about logic or reason, or even racism. Its about demonizing anyone who dares make the left look bad or disagree. Who cares what the truth is, from their perspective? All that matters is power.

    Was that your work? I have seen them side by side a lot and it is going around this week. In fact, since the two photoshopped have been around so long, the LA Times can’t be ignorant of the King Louie one… but I think they don’t want people to see it and start laughing.

    The two pix are too apt. LA Times just gave them wider circulation.

    I think that, in regard to Rush’s comments, besides having the money there’s the fact of having the power–regardless of the constitutionality (or lack thereof); the fact that veneration of the Founding Fathers is no longer taught helps with this.

    I think that, for the Left, there’s an element of gettin’ what they can and stickin’ it to “the man” (“the man” no longer being who is in power but who, in their minds, historically has been in power–the 1% or whatever) and that this is a short-sighted attitude that is going to cost the people of this country dearly in the end.
