Rush appeals to his base.

A caller asked Rush Limbaugh, noted friend of all that is right in America, and asked why Democrats wanted to leave Iraq but get involved in Darfur. A legitimate question I thought, and one that could stand a reasoned, nuanced response. Here's what Rush said:

LIMBAUGH: There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in
Darfur?

CALLER: Uh, yeah.

LIMBAUGH: It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting
for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they're in
trouble.

Talking Points Memo has the full call exchange here. And this is the show the President and Vice President choosewhen they want to go on the air and talk directly to the hard core GOP constituents.

Nice.
