First up, Rush Limbaugh’s take on Monday’s schoolbus incident in which a couple of black kids beat up on a white kid:

In Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering.

Charming, as always.  Next up, Obama communications director Anita Dunn:

Dunn played down the role that race could have in fueling the rancor. “I think that is less a part of it than some other people might think,” she said. “If you look at the history of this country, you see that in times of great stress and change, there are people who are concerned, who are threatened, there are people who are scared.”

Roger that.  Move along folks, nothing to see here.
