1. Is he really?
Edited on Wed May-02-07 11:17 AM by malta blue
I have never heard of this - but I don't doubt you. I should be shocked, but I am not.

How sad....

On edit: If this is the case, then the answer to your question is YES.

2. not anymore than George Allen stuffing a deer head in the mailboxes

And the GOP wonders why people think they are racists, psh.

3. I posted the link to the audio here last week without much response
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xowSnZkOhX0

I think it's more anti-Sharpton than Obama.

4. I'd agree, but need to point out that
I think he goes after Sharpton because Sharpton is a safe target. If he could go after Obama he would, but he might run into trouble there.

7. 100% agreed.
Sharpton is a lightning rod that Limbaugh can strike at with relative impunity. If he went after Obama like he's gone after Clinton (either), Reid, or Dean; KATY BAR THE DOOR.

Maybe he isn't so stupid after all: a hypocrite, racist, bigot and general fascist, but not so stupid as to touch a third rail.

8. You continue to listen to him and report what you hear to others..
Can't remember the last KKK rally I attended (or wanted to attend).

Why do you continue to support him by validating his show with your time?

24. You Know. I get tired of questions like yours
Maybe I listen because I want to know what the other side is up to.

Maybe I listen in the hopes that some caller will get thru to the mindless drool-dripping mouth-breeders that use Rush like an addict uses crack.

Maybe I listen because it make it easy for me to identify and knock down the Rush talking points at the PTA meeting.

Maybe it's because it's the only frickin option I have.

I commute almost an hour each way from Newport News, VA to VA Beach. I'd love to just sit back and crank out some Green Day, but when your only way in and out of a city is by one of two tunnels, a good traffic report comes in handy. The only stations that provide decent weather and traffic reports happen to be wing-nut AM stations. I'd like to know if the massive traffic jam I'm approaching is just a back-up due to volume, or am I going to be stuck here for 3 hours because someone broke down in the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. My choices are the station with Rush' show, or the one with Glen Beck.

Sorry I'm not as pure as you.

The took Imus down, now they should apply some of the same principles to Rush

11. Oh Rush again. A pompous ass, a cyst on the anus of America,
a fatty blockage in the bowels of the airwaves.

Racist? Of course it is.

13. Listen to the audio - see post 3 above
I didn't think it was racist. Offensive, but not racist.

12. Defamation---slander, to be exact--does it for me.
Even a public figure should be able to sue over that type of hate speech.

14. The RWers have the FCC on their side ...... for now.




Their manipulation of the mass media will come to a screeching halt about two years from now. And then I'll be glad to see that windbag OxyRush be nothing more than an unpleasant memory.
