Very liberal of ya there MT. Don't like what someone says, discredit them with the "R" word. Such abuse of that word will eventually deprive it of any power it enjoys today.

>>Do you have a link to this study?

I can cite the study and you can get the details from there. I'll post it when I get home.

"When you take the bone out of your nose call me back" - That's a racist comment uttered by Mr. Rush and said to a black caller.

Just one of hundreds racial remarks made by this "moral" person.

>>Stating that a black quarterback in the NFL has been propped up by the media simply because he's black is -not- racist...

Saddly it is racism - because Rush is purporting that the media has an agenda, and that agenda is to promote black QBs. Rush has no evidence to support this arguement. On the contrary McNabb's record speaks for it self - he is a damn good QB and has earned that job.

Sure Rush was stating his opinion... it's his standard rhetoric against the "libral media" and minorities. [Hey wait Rush is in the media! he's syndicated in over 600 markets - Rush is the MEDIA] It is his tired and true belief that minorities however successful they may become are only successful because some libral "social" agenda promoted them to that position and in no way did they earn it. Sounds very much like White Supremacy - oh wait! It is! Just packaged in a PC pill delivered with a tie and suit!

It's sad that Rush could only see color here as for the reason the sports media likes McNabb. It's a shame that Rush can't see that perhaps McNabb is potentionally a very good QBs and that's why sports writers like him - not because he's black... just because he's skilled and has worked hard to get where he is.

If Rush were to quote a media article about McNabb that mentioned his race and stated his position was because of his race - then his statement would NOT be racist but just a comment about the "social" agenda that the libral media is promoting on behalf of black QBs. But where is that citation from Rush's mouth? When's that going to come forth?

But no Rush choose to focus on McNabb's color and the attention he is getting from the media and he draws up only one conclusion - the same anti-minority conclusion he always comes too.

Rush is and has always been a Racist. The worst kind of racist, one that doesn't wear his colors as blatantly as the KKK, (that's because he's a chicken chit) but still his beliefs and his agenda are in his words. I don't agree with the KKK, but at least they have the gonads to wave their colors when they express their opinions - even if they do hide behind sheets, and many don't wear those any more so at least you can identify who the racists are.

Rush has every right to say what he believes, state his opinion, and be a racist and promote his racist agenda - how ever subtle and insiduously he promotes it - using select PC code words so he can wiggle out from being labeled as ... oh my gosh.. a racist.

He has been doing this for over 20 years - and he has been quite successful at it - and has developed a large "ditto head" following. Good for him and his mindless jelly heads who couldn't congel an independent thought if they tried.

There's no law against being a racist or to following a racist and believe in the sewage which pours from his mouth.

Jessie Jackson, Al Starpton, Louis Farikan (sp?), many more are all racists. They too can say whatever they want, and they do.

Yes Rush can exercise his freedom of speach. He can say whatever he wants... but he doesn't have freedom to be employed where ever he wants and if ESPN doesn't want this kind of "chit" on their network... he's out of a job.

Just don't discriminate because that's against the law.

Racism is like sewage... it's a fact of life, it's with each and every one of us ever day. However, most people don't want it in their living room or in their ears.

It's time for Rush to go.

Be curious to see if Mr. Moral Anti-drug tough-on-criminals will serve any jail time if these drug charges prove to be true. I'm sure he'll ask for rehab and avoid prision like all rich white collar criminals manage to do.

Well I've said enough... I'll post the link with facts about how conservative the media really is.... and how much of a farse this "Librals, Librals, Librals... in the media media media" rant is.

let's keep the people believing that their's librals trying to undermind our constitution - that'll keep the "Rightegous" people in power.

Nope.  More realistic example, I think Keith Van Horn and Jason Williams are both way overhyped because they are white.

And the same for every Great White Hope that has ever emerged overhyped in boxing.

That certainly wasn't a friendly comment but how can you possibly say it was racist without the context of the conversation?

Probably huh? :) Come on, either you did or you didn't. Why can't you admit you yourself used to be a right wing racist? :eek:

Yeah , I could see where that would not be a statement based on race.

To add to that , it was Isiah Thomas who said if Larry Bird were black, he would be just another good basketball player. And that was considered a racial statement.

Just a racial statement? As opposed to saying he is a racist?

Peronally, I think he was simply making an accurate observation.

Let's just ask any conservative black just why it is that the left continue to attack them.  Is it because they didn't go to the "mighty whiteies" on the left for permmision to excel?  Is it because they didn't need the lefties to become succesful.  The hatred heeped upon black conservatives by our leftist friends  is proof of where in America the bigots and racists reside and that is left of center!

One misspoken, poorly worded, or bad judgement statement doesn't make a person a racist.

It's a pattern of statements and it's the belief behind those statements which causes that person to continue to say racist comments that makes a person a racist.

That's where Rush comes from and he has a large volume of words - recorded on tape, on TV, and in print which back up his beliefs and his agenda. There's no doubt who he is and what he is.

He did not misspeak and he stands by his comment - regardless of how racist it is.

Sure, he doesn't see it as racist, neither do the people who believe in him. They don't see the pattern and they think what they believe in as racist.

And yet there's so many other's - not just me- who see the racism.

Why is that?

Einstein said you can't solve a problem at the same intellectual level as the problem.

A racist can't see themselves as a racist, until they are willing to admit there is another point of view other than their own - and it just might be accurate.

Your opinion, but to the overall majority, it was a racial statement that was uncalled for. He apologized, Larry accepted, end of story.

He apologized 'cause he took a lot of heat over it. That doesn't mean his statement wasn't honest and believed by him even now.

Calling someone a racist because they see through the white wash that's been spread over America as they speak their mind doesn't make them one. It's one thing to succeed in suppressing outspoken honesty, it's another to succeed in suppressing thought. One doesn't automatically ensure the other, but it's a start.
