Not that I don't think Rush is a racist, he probably is, but you can not use those quotes to prove it.

Examples:

Caller: "The republican party should devote most of thier resources to capturing the black vote. They must reach out to them to win this election"

Rush: "They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

Caller: "We have our own culture, our own unique identity that is different from the american culture; it must be addressed by this government"

Rush:"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

Rush:""Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?" "

Me: They do. Not because he is black, but because he has no outstanding features, he is just, totally, average.

Rush:"A gang-member-type-guy"

Him:

OK, so he looks more like a Sissy than a gang member, but he IS trying hard.

None of my quotes are true, BTW, but I am sure they follow the general sense of the conversation that Rushidie's comments were lifted from. Context is all, show it or STFU.

Rush is such a nice guy yeager.

In the late 1980’s when he was in Sacramento working for KFBK he gained his popularity by laughing and cheering as he read off names of gay men who had died of AIDS.

Limbaugh is a fine example of what conservatives consider good character and a role model for their children.

He is all the things stated above-I gave you examples of how the quotes could be put in context, not an argument that they were. I didn't make the statement to begin the argument, thus I don't have to disprove a lie; the poster must prove it.

Ah... okay... I haven't watched ESPN NFL Countdown at all this year... as the years pass, I much prefer Bradshaw and Howie on Fox.

Michael Irvin... Sweat Jeasious.
Why would Rush rip on McNabb when there is a much juicier target, the crackhead Bailmaker, right next to him??? Rush really is an idiot.

Well thats pure evil for sure.

I listened to rush every day at work, pretty much, from 92 to 96 before I moved into a a cubicle that couldnt pick up AM. I havent heard much of his show since then but I never, ever picked up on anything he said that was "overtly" distasteful let alone racist or bigoted, in my honest opinion. some of the stuff was racey but back then I was lodged in between a clinton liberal lesbian and a reagan christian militant so nothing rush said compared to what the freaks I was working with were saying to each other and to me.

If he did laugh, which I sincerely do not believe he did, at the names of those who died from aids, Id sure like to see a reliable source that proved it. To me that sounds more like urban legend than verifiable fact. whats even more disturbing is that you say he gained popularity from such behavior. I dont believe it. prove it and I will.

I think the reason losing white coaches ( like rich kotite) are there is because the liberal white media want white coaches to succeed
