LIMBAUGH LINKS BEATDOWN OF WHITE KID TO OBAMA: Right winger says headline-making bus fight captured on film is part of 'Obama's America.' (Video)

      *On Tuesday's episode of "The Daily Show," host Jon Stewart made fun of right wing radio commentator Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report for trying to blame President Obama for a high school fight in which a black student beat up a white student.       

       The St. Louis-Dispatch reported that the altercation had nothing to do with race. According to a Belleville police captain, but rather it started over choice of seating. But Limbaugh, predictably offered up the incident as proof that Obama is somehow causing black-on-white racism throughout the U.S.

       "You put your kids on a school bus you expect safety but in Obama's America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering 'yeah, right on, right on, right on.' Of course everybody said the white kid deserved it. He was born a racist, he's white.      

       Of this, Stewart somberly and sarcastically came to the conclusion Tuesday night that "Because Barack Obama is president, it is now open season on white children."       

       Below: Listen to Limbaugh's entire rant as well as Jon Stewart's commentary on the attempt by some conservatives to link the fight to Obama.
