Limbaugh to activists: ‘Get rid of the Democrat Party’

‘The Klan was all Democrats, and the segregationists in the South were all Democrats’

Radio host Rush Limbaugh has wry advice for activists targeting historical monuments to combat racism: “You’ve got to get rid of the Democrat Party.”

Criticism of the Jefferson Memorial by the Rev. Al Sharpton, coupled with the tearing down of Confederate monument in North Carolina this week, prompted a race monologue by the eponymous host of “The Rush Limbaugh Show” on Tuesday.

The man behind “the golden EIB microphone” told his millions of listeners that left-wing activists “cannot be mollified” by ridding the nation of Civil War monuments before jokingly laying out a blueprint for success.

“Their whole argument resides on the notion that it hasn’t changed, that there still is, for all intents and purposes, slavery. There still is racism. There still is bigotry,” Mr. Limbaugh said in response to Mr. Sharpton’s appearance Monday night on PBS host Charlie Rose’s show.

Mr. Sharpton called the Jefferson Memorial a “personal” affront akin to subsidizing insults towards his family.

Only way to start over is in the Republican Party because they freed the slaves. Sorry but it's a fact if you represent a democrat your holding a banner that was once pro slavery. Democrat symbol hasn't changed is what it is.

You guys can't really be so stupid as to not know about the Southern Strategy, can you? Conservative Democrats -- who you guys would have loved -- are now Republicans. Liberal Republicans -- who you guys hate -- are now Democrats.

But, sure. All of those guys in Charlottesville were probably registered Democrats and Hillary voters.
