If anyone wants to know just how blatant your race baiting has to get for Sean Hannity to ask you why you&#8217;re doing it, you&#8217;ve got your answer in the segment above [<em>below here<\/em>] from his show this Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Her buddy <a href=\"http:\/\/mediamatters.org\/video\/2013\/09\/09\/limbaugh-dubs-obamas-syria-plan-operation-shuck\/195787\" target=\"_blank\">Rush Limbaugh took to the airways<\/a> to call President Obama&#8217;s plan for Syria &quot;Operation Shuck and Jive.&quot; I guess Coultergeist didn&#8217;t want to let the day pass with Limbaugh winning the award for being the most in-your-face racist asshole for the day.<\/p>\n<p>And, as Media Matters has been documenting, the right seems to have some new <a href=\"http:\/\/mediamatters.org\/research\/2013\/09\/09\/right-wing-medias-love-affair-with-putin-contin\/195803\" target=\"_blank\">love affair with Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/a> these days. <strong>If anyone had spoken the same way about Hannity&#8217;s hero, George W. Bush when he was in office, he would have been screaming like a wild man and calling them traitors and saying they didn&#8217;t love their country.
