Charles:

I think you missed the point. Rush frequently illustrates absurdity with absurdity. He was doing an impression of the Obamabots, taking their position to its absurd conclusion. I heard nothing here that sounded remotely like Rush was being the race baiter. He was calling out the race baiters.

I also note that Media Matters is deliberately using an out of date photo of Rush.

I’m not a Rush apologist, but this sound bite is not evidence of race baiting, and it was abundantly clear that he was saying it was the racists on the Left who would be calling for segregated buses. He did it to hit a nerve. Apparently it worked.
