      *It seems that Chicago sun Times columnist Mary Mitchell has struck a serious nerve with conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

      Actually, she phrases his actions as squealing like a pig after its tail had been stepped on.

      Richard Prince's Journal-ism's reported that Limbaugh said:

"Mary Mitchell, a wuss, wimp columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times says that Sarah Palin should be censured. She says that 'Sarah Palin should apologize to the Obama campaign and the American people for her role in bringing out the worst in her supporters.' This is laughable.

"Come on, Mary. Grow up. This is the big leagues. How about the people in your party? I know you're a Democrat, Mary Mitchell. You can't deny it, all you liberal media people are Democrats. What about the incitement of this whole country that you and your fellow journalists have engaged in along with the Democrat Party? You have gendered up hate for this president. You have ginned up a despise for the US military. You have sought to convince the American people their country is worthless and sinking into an abyss. You have been doing it for six years."

      Limbaugh also called Mitchell a "racist nutball."

      Mitchell basically responded by saying OK buddy, gloves off, it's on!

      "If Limbaugh wants to spend his time trying to bully me, as they say in my neighborhood, bring it," she said.

      And with that as an intro, below is a portion of Mary Mitchell's actual response to Limbaugh:

When you step on a pig's tail, it squeals. Rush Limbaugh is a squealer. And why is he squealing?

Because John McCain and Sarah Palin are losing ground in a contest that they thought was theirs.

And they are losing it to a black man.

Of course, Limbaugh won't say that. Instead, on Thursday he spent his time berating me for saying Palin needs to apologize for inciting crowds that hurled racial epithets at black members of the press.

I'm a "wuss, wimp columnist," Limbaugh says.

So why would a multimillion-dollar squealer use his air time on a "wuss and a wimp?"

The reason Limbaugh is squealing like the pig he is, is because he's the epitome of white privilege.

He can't wrap his small mind around the fact that Barack Obama is kicking McCain's butt in the polls.

To make matters worse, how dare a black woman ask a white woman who is on the GOP ticket to apologize for the inappropriate behavior of her supporters?

But my position is really a no-brainer.

Whenever a crowd gets whipped up to the point that they turn ugly and start hurling racist insults, it is common sense that the candidate moves to rein it in.

But McCain is so desperate to win, he's feeding off of those angry crowds.

Come on.

The squealer was among the first to demand that Barack Obama (Barack, Rush, not Barry) denounce his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, for comments deemed offensive to white people.

I confess.

I don't listen to Limbaugh. Another journalist called me and told me he was on the radio tearing me limb from limb.

One good turn deserves another, Mr. Limbaugh, so please have your people in Chicago tune in to V-103 on Sunday between 6 and 8 a.m., and I'll return the favor.
