Limbaugh Deconstructs Lowery

By Ed Brayton

And the Worldnutdaily is broadcasting Limbaugh's idiotic views about Joseph Lowery's benediction from the Obama inauguration. Declaring that "outrage is erupting" - from whom other than Limbaugh and their perpetually outraged readers? - the Worldnutdaily cites the following from Lowery:

Then he ended his prayer with, "Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around - when yellow will be mellow - when the red man can get ahead, man - and when white will embrace what is right."

Obama reacted to the benediction with a smile.

The crowd cheered and boomed with a loud "Amen."
