CBS’s Nancy Giles Claims UCLA Student Mocking Asians Was ‘Straight Out of the Rush Limbaugh Playbook’
On CBS's Sunday Morning, left-wing commentator Nancy Giles managed to attack Rush Limbaugh while condemning a UCLA student's internet video rant against Asians: “Her monologue was straight out of the Rush Limbaugh playbook from a few months ago….And Rush is a cartoon. In my humble opinion.” A clip was played of Limbaugh mocking Chinese President Hu Jintao after a joint press conference held with President Obama in January. Giles could have just as easily said that UCLA student Alexandra Wallace was taking a page out of the Rosie O'Donnell playbook . Concluding her commentary, Giles called for greater civility: “Freedom of speech doesn't mean you have to say the first nasty thing that comes out of your mouth or threaten someone you don't agree with or call them names. Freedom of speech is why I have this job. And I try to choose my words carefully. And if not that, there's always the old saying that if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything. I'm just saying.” Perhaps Giles should take her own advice, given her long history of offensive and threatening comments towards those she disagrees with: CBS’s Nancy Giles: Bristol Palin ‘Makes Me Ill,’ ‘Making Money & Leaving Her Baby at Home’ CBS's Giles Tells Tea Party's Loesch 'Shut Your Mouth', Asks King to Cut Her Mike CBS’s Nancy Giles: Joe Wilson Like A ‘Drunk At Open Mic Night’ CBS’s Nancy Giles Describes ‘Carnage’ of Bush Administration Nancy Giles: 'I Could Punch Every Blue Dog Democrat in the Nose' CBS Commentator Blasts Tax Cuts and How Bush Doesn’t Give “a Damn” About Black People Here is a full transcript of the Giles' March 27 commentary: 10:09AM ET NANCY GILES: In case you haven't heard, there was a recent video posted on YouTube by a UCLA student with some issues. ALEXANDRA WALLACE: The problem is these hordes of Asian people. GILES: And that video went viral and it's now been viewed millions of times.
