Jim Acosta thought he was going to get an easy slam on conservative radio show commentator and legend Rush Limbaugh, but as is usually the case with Acosta, he was promptly clowned for his efforts.
James Golden is Limbaugh’s long-time producer, but is better known by the name “Bo Snerdly.” Golden caught Acosta’s commentary of Trump’s speech and noted that the CNN White House correspondent mention a tired go-to from the left about Limbaugh, and that’s that he’s a racist.
“He was trying to make appeals to the African American community,” Acosta said. “It can’t be forgotten that he was awarding the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh, who has a history of making derogatory comments about African Americans. So, I think, you know, overall, it’s a wash.”
Too bad for Acosta, Golden is a black man who wasn’t going to let this fly. Golden took to Twitter and called Acosta out, but went further and challenged Acosta to provide evidence of Limbaugh’s Racism.
“I just saw the footage from CNN’s Jim Acosta saying Rush has a “history” of saying disparaging things about African Americans. I have been in the studio with Rush for 30 years. I would like to formally challenge CNN and @Acosta to provide the list,” tweeted Golden.

Leftists began giving Golden “examples,” but Golden struck back and called these “examples” out for what they were; out-of-context quotes and jokes.
This is what equality looks like. Shock jocks insult EVERYONE. That was what they did. Think Don Rickles. Blacks weren't excluded. Blacks are HUMAN. We can also be insulted without it being racist. It's called equality. GET A LIFE. https://t.co/1HqzCeIAj3

So what? He was talking about the cultural shift that brought violence and "gangsta" ism to the NFL. We had players showing up in locker room with guns. You provide no context. This is political discourse. The Crips and Bloods are real. Next? https://t.co/J74aYItqx5

got anything else? you don't seem to remember the context (as usual) players attacking fans in the stands. Next? HO-HUM.
BTW – I called them Thugs. Because they were behaving like Thugs.
Next? https://t.co/W7ODPMY4SY— Bo Snerdley (@BoSnerdley) February 5, 2020
Sorry that you don't have actual quotes, but yet another story with made up quotes from political opponents under MSNBC branding. You can do better. I will refrain from trading in name-calling with you. No need. https://t.co/Gqqf6U0yAB

This is another blatant lie. A disgraceful lie. It never happened. This is the kind of vile hatred, authored and disseminated by the hateful left. This is a horrid lie. Was never said by Rush. Ever. You people who spread this hatred are in need of prayer. https://t.co/GcftNrfL30

The song was a parody of a LA Times article that referred to Obama as a "Magic Negro" written by a black columnist. If you listen to the lyrics would would understand that. And Affirmative Action president isn't disparaging. It is a political statement. https://t.co/d5LXWJ4fKV

Of course, if the left can’t beat a black man with accusations, then the party who respects minorities more than any other will resort to insults and name-calling. It didn’t slow Golden down, though.
Sigh. That's really tired. Can you come up with another racial pejorative that isn't so overworked? Really. Try harder. God Bless you. https://t.co/SGc1CgCJKZ

So. You believe I have "masters"? That I am a slave. What does that say about your mentality? I don't need your media driven, out of context so-called facts – which are nothing more than political opposition. I actually know Rush. Something you can't say. https://t.co/ZgeRYafJ9A

We should pray for evil hearted, hateful people that they might one day be freed from the poison that lives within their being. https://t.co/JHL0pjbPiq

Golden and the EIB family are going through a very tough time right now, but Golden still managed to handle the hate with grace. He even told those calling Acosta names to stop and not sink to the level of the left.
For all the vitriol that was flying around last night, it was cool that the people have an example like Golden’s to follow.
