Indian, Japanese, what the heck, they are all the same to Rush Limbaugh. On his Aug. 16 broadcast in which he railed against the construction of a Moselm cultural center near Ground Zero, Limbaugh drew a comparison by suggesting that contructing the center was as unacceptable as building a Hindu temple at Pearl Harbor: “Folks, let’s do this. Let’s suggest that we build a Hindu temple right next to the Arizona memorial out at Pearl Harbor. Why? Outreach. Show we have no hard feelings. Put a Hindu temple there.”

Later in the broadcast, Limbaugh issued a clarification, “I said a Hindu temple at Arizona memorial. I meant Shinto shrine. Hindus are Indian.”
