Rush Limbaugh Denied Service at Mexican Restaurant



Rush Limbaugh Denied Service at Mexican Restaurant
January 31st, 2013

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was refused service at a Mexican restaurant in Florida today while attempting to eat lunch.

The owners of Pablo's Taqueria in Palm Beach Gardens say that they have a strict "no racists" policy and kindly asked Limbaugh to leave the premises when he attempted to place his order.

He initially declined to leave the restaurant, and after a brief argument was escorted out by security guards.

The incident began when the restaurant's manager recognized Limbaugh as he was making his order. The manager approached his table and kindly asked him to leave. According to witnesses, Limbaugh then stood up and launched a racist, obscenity-laced rant.

snip//

"Your ugly, racist views mean you're liable to cause a disturbance in my restaurant. And I simply can't have that. So you can take that outrage, put it in this ketchup bottle, shove it up your ass, and get off my property. Es su obligación."

Limbaugh was then escorted out by security from the strip mall in which the restaurant is located. In an interview, the owner of the restaurant, Pablo Pena, says his decision was practical and not political.

"I don't have anything against Republicans," Pena said. "I voted for George W. Bush in 2000. But this Limbaugh guy is a f**king pendejo. We serve a lot of families here. I don't think his kind of rhetoric is appropriate for our clientele."

Limbaugh is known for his controversial views on race and immigration. He has vowed to single-handedly obstruct efforts by Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.


















Hey, it 'could' happen.

Besides, I doubt if the BFI actually goes out to eat. I've heard he never leaves his compound in Florida without some kind of an entourage. Too paranoid. I would love to share this, but I don't believe it. However, it really does encapsulate the man's arrogance.

so unless it opened very, very recently, that's another indication this is satire.

A friend in Palm Beach confirms your entourage story. Limbag is never seen out on his own.

Letting aside the minor point that that's when he's on the air, any Mexican restaurant who did this would be inviting disaster upon themselves. He's a vindictive guy, and his followers are equally vindictive - if he chose to name them - they would suffer harassment after harassment.

In this dictatorship of capital, apparently ANY business has the right to refuse service to anyone outside of protected a racial status. If he's got the cojones to put up with the harassment (you're right about that part), then I guess a restaurant owner would have the right to refuse service to Limbaugh.

Putting up with racist assholes has got to stop. They've got to be challenged for their views and yes, SHAMED for their views and I would admire anybody for challenging him. You might have the RIGHT to spew hatred and bullshit, but the rest of us who DON'T feel like that have the right to CALL it hatred and bullshit. If we don't we are just enabling them and any other asshole to spew their shit.

You've got every right to be as racist as your lil lily white heart wants to be. You've even got the right to spew your racist bullshit if you want to. BUT I'VE GOT EVERY RIGHT TO CALL YOU ON THAT RACIST BULLSHIT. And yes SHAME you for that racist bullshit. Until racist attitudes are seen as disgusting, they'll be around to disrupt the rest of us.

And that's what they ultimately are, a disruption and a distraction. Racism is just another way that the ruling class divides the working class and keeps their wealth and power. Racists are actual class traitors.

It's a weird site. They seem to think that having one mildly amusing idea is enough to make a story. Everything on there reads like a first draft that needs a few more rewrites in order to "funny it up".

Still better than Satirical Political, though.

She was hotter than Chinese mustard and began flirting with me. She told me how cool she thought I was, and that she wished I could take her to the prom. She said she'd do anything, anything at all, if I would just take her out on a date.

Then she called me a dork and laughed in my face.

Thanx for letting me relive that level of disappointment.

Fri Feb 1, 2013, 07:43 PM
Feb 2013

The art of satire - which the Onion understands and The Daily Currant doesn't - involves ridicule by taking the comments or behavior of the person being satirized and stretching them to an illogical but humorous conclusion. The Daily Current seems to think satire is just making stuff up that portrays people as being more extremely bad in the way we already know they're bad, but it just comes across as nasty and borderline libelous instead of funny.

92. This is How Good Satire is Done
Fri Feb 1, 2013, 09:28 PM
Feb 2013

The art of satire does include being ridiculous and silly. The low-brow Onion often publishes article which are outlandish, and by my tastes very broad. Their giddy wink-wink frat-boy tone is an amateur attempt at comedy.

Good satire means coming as close to the truth as you possibly can while finding room to exaggerate and ridicule.

The Daily Currant achieves this delicate balance, but it does it in a way that is so surgical and precise that some less intelligent readers may find it hard to spot.

The Onion is for people who love Two and a Half Men.

The Daily Currant is for people who prefer Gervais's Office The Larry Sander's Show, The Thick of It, etc.

Verisimilitude is the mark of a good comedian. Corny silliness is the mark of a bad one.

Don't blame the comedian if the jokes fly over your head. Get yourself an education, pick up a newspaper, or start watching the BBC rather than MSNBC or Fox News. Then you'd understand the references.

To each his own, I guess. I do prefer Gervais' Office. I do watch the BBC, never Fox, and I've never seen a single minute of Two and a Half Men. The Daily Currant is crude and lame, seldom clever, and your post is insulting.

I am most disapponted, as such treatment is precisely what Mr Limbaugh deserves!

Although, having said that, this just gives Limbaugh more ammunition to rail against having "lost his country" to brown-skinned folk.

And having said that, I have to remind myself that Limbaugh manufactures his own ammo, and he'd have found some way to slag these people no matter what.

Limbaugh is vile trash. Good on the restaurant for barring him. Now, if we could get other restaurants to do the same....

It about time we started our own urban legends to match the "socialist Kenyan" crap.

And the stories ARE over the top, but maybe, JUST maybe people will realize that the truth cannot be found on obscure satire sites, NOR can it be found on Faux News or Politico or Free Republic.

I'm not holding out much hope.

I was howling with delight as I read this story. That manager and the owner make a lot of sense. I wish more restaurants saw the inherent value in this and had the strength to do what this restaurant did. Who knows if we're lucky Limbaugh and his ilk will be stuck eating at the same five restaurants forever!

He's far too much of a gentleman to speak like that in public, and really too gentle to get into a confrontation with anyone.

Rush is a very multicultural guy though, so it's not surprising that he's going to different ethnic restaurants. But that said, I'm pretty sure he practices a strict vegan diet, so he may not have had many menu choices there.

Now, can we please escort Rush Limbaugh out of this country? Maybe send him to one of those countries in the Caribbean where he likes to, um, frolic with individuals younger than he of the female sex?

He would have had so much toxic Oxygas in the air that the place would have to be fumigated for two months.

and thanks to the psting on this site, the fake story is now all over twitter and elsewhere

i have to wonder if it was intentionally PLANTED HERE

Daily Currant, the original site that reported it, is a satire site who stole their entire theme from The Onion and they SPAM their site all over comment sections of other sites, like where i hang out, at The Daily Beast.
