According to a story published on CNN, Rush Limbaugh remembered George Steinbrenner after his death earlier that day by saying that he was a “cracker who made a lot of African –American millionaires.”
Rev. Al Sharpton responded to the radio host by saying his comments were “repugnant and offensive whether they were intended to be facetious or tongue and cheek.” But Limbaugh denies that any of his comments are racist.
And even after his earlier racial outburst saying "Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it," he has yet to learn his lesson of keeping his big mouth shut.
