Few people have been more unabashed in spreading hate and violence than the de facto head of the Republican Party, whose leaders have all made pilgrimage to kiss his holy ring.\u00a0 When Limbaugh mocked the Chinese President, Hu Jintao, during a recent state visit, a Chinese-American Representative objected.\u00a0 Because of Limbaugh\u2019s vile response, that legislator is now facing racist death-threats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, California State Sen. Leland Yee (D) called on<\/a> right-wing hate radio host Rush Limbaugh to apologize for mocking Chinese President Hu Jintao and the Chinese language by speaking gibberish \u201cching chong chang<\/a>\u201d Chinese on his radio program. Yee, who is Chinese-American and chairs the state Senate Select Committee on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs<\/strong>, said Limbaugh owes the Chinese-American community an apology for his \u201cpointless and ugly offense<\/a>.\u201d Naturally, Limbaugh did not apologize, and instead railed against Yee<\/a> the following day on his radio, calling him out repeatedly by name.<\/p>\n

Yee\u2019s call for civility did not sit well with one Limbaugh fan, who responded by sending several racist death threats to Yee\u2019s office this week. \u201cRush Limbaugh will kick your chink ass<\/a> and expose you for the fool you are,\u201d the faxes read, threatening him with \u201cdeath\u201d (warning, contains racial expletives).<\/p>\n

\"27RushStuff\"<\/p>\n

As the San Francisco Chronicle notes, \u201cThe faxes include a drawing of a U.S. flag-adorned pickup truck towing a noose<\/a> that is looped around what appears to be a caricature head of President Barack Obama.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
