The drive by media has accused Rush Limbaugh of making racist statements about slavery and plantations. Then investigate him for things he’s never said. How about reporting on these stupid things that Democrats have said?
10. Democrat Fritz Hollings of South Carolina thinks being from Africa makes you a cannibal: “You’d find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they’d just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva.”
9. Howard Dean reaches out: “I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.”
8. California Democrat Diane Watson thinks interracial marriage is icky: “He’s married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn’t want to be black.”
7. Howard Dean thinks service positions are for minorities, not big fancy white people: “You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? … Only if they had the hotel staff in here.”
6. Joe Biden explains why southern Democrats should vote for him: “My state was a slave state.”
5. “Conscience of the Senate” and former Klansman Robert Byrd on equal opportunity: “I’ve seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.
4. Hillary Clinton does an impression (complete with accent) of an African-American man who didn’t know what Emily’s List was: “She’s supportin’ all these people. She’s supportin’ Sen. Dianne Feinstein . She’s supported Sen. Barbara Boxer . . . She supported everybody. Why won’t she support me?”
3. Democratic Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin denies that white people might live in New Orleans: “I don’t care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day.”"
2. Democrat Steny Hoyer reviews Michael Steele’s career: “[He has] a career of slavishly supporting the Republican Party.”
1. Then Senator Joe Biden fills us in on who works at convenience stores: “You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent … I’m not joking.”
Remember, Rush hasn’t said any of the things that race pimps Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have accused him of saying. The Democrats listed above, actually said all those things.

I completely concur that the Democrats you highlighted have said the boneheaded things you highlighted, but you’ve got your blinders on when it comes to Rush. Consider this website, sourced: http://newsone.com/obama/top-10-racist-limbaugh-quotes/
Two gems:
“Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
“I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”
And part of what the people in the NFL have said, part of their complaint is that Limbaugh is disparaging character of the players, for example, his statement about a fight between the crips and the bloods? Portraying the football players as gang members? For what reason? Should this be the man who owns a team and is responsible in part for negotiating their contracts? I don’t know that he should.

You might want to take a look at the Bloods and Crips comment in context:
