I never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist.
"I never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist."
Yeah, I never saw the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, either. It is amazing what you won't see or hear if you keep your head in the sand and tuned to FOX News. ~~~~ "have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?" They all look alike, don't they Rush? "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies." "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out." - after Spike Lee said black children should skip school to see the movie X. He often uses the mock dialect 'ax’ instead of 'ask’ when discussing black leaders. He used to play the theme song 'Movin' On Up’ from 'The Jeffersons’ when referring to Carol Moseley Braun, the African American former Senator. When a Talk radio host, once told a black caller to "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." "Why should Blacks be heard? They're 12% of the population. Who the hell cares." -Rush Limbaugh ~~~~~ Or course, Rush believes in equality of racism. Take your beaners, uh, mexicans: "An immigration agent chased him the last 10 miles." - Rush Limbaugh after a Mexican won the New York marathon "If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people - I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs, let the kinds of jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do - let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work" ~~~~~~~~~ How about those pesky redskins, uh, Native Americans? "The American Indians were meaner to themselves than anybody was ever mean to them. The people were savages. It’s true, they damn well were … these people were out there destroying timber, they were out there conquering and killing each other, scalping people." "I don't give a hoot that [Columbus] gave some Indians a disease that they didn't have immunity against" (Ought to Be, p. 45). ~~~~~~~ Rush has been making his little racist jabs his whole life. His only problem was, when given the national spotlight on Monday Night Football, he forgot that sending his racist "code words" -- You know he is smart enough not to sit there and chant "N*gger N*gger N*gger", but just kind of refer to the "blacks can't be quarterbacks" thing for the troops back home -- well, he wasn't broadcasting to his "angry white american" crowd of ditto heads. He was talking about the majority black NFL, and to a national audience. They were not going to put up with the "nudge-nudge" know-what-I-mean "wink-wink" comments. Tune in to Rush on the radio today, you won't have to listen to much before you hear him making fun of some Ghetto talk, or something, to keep the rednecks happy.

Wow thats absolutely hillarious and not even remotely rascist... She was my Sen and was easily the worst senator in the congress during her term. She spent like an aggregate of 1.4 yrs in Africa hanging out with murderous dictators out of her 6 yr term, missed over half the votes and did nothing for the state of Illinois at all...any vehicle for humilating her has my support.

Re: I never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist.
Those would be valid points. Movin' On Up theme song from the Jeffersons is not. Do you see why?

Re: I never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist.
I agree that Rush is a racist, but I think ESPN didn't get nearly enough blame for the whole "Rush incident." They hired him because of the outrageous things he says, and then the fired him the first time he said something outrageous. ESPN then tried to take the high road and said that his comments weren't representative blah blah blah. Everybody came down hard on Rush but gave ESPN a free pass. They got rid of him for doing what they hired him to do.

Re: I never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist.
He calls Harry Reid - Dingy Harry Reid. He constantly makes fun of Kerry and Pelosi. Does that mean he hates whites too?
He bashed anything that is liberal. However, that doesnt mean that he is a racist. Even if everything you say here is true that doesnt make he a racist. It might just make him guilty of bad taste. Bonus trivia question: Which party has a former member of the KKK as one of their senior leaders?

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] These sorts of jokes are funny in a very particular context in that the joke isn't that you're implying that jews suck; rather, you're getting a kick out of being ironically flagrant because you don't really mean what you say. The problem with this type of humor is that the irony is only known to you when out of context. You certainly have the right to have non-PC feelings and say non-PC things, but consider the previous sentence. If you're only making the joke to please yourself, then disregard my post. That's fair enough.
