I love this bit:

quote:

More recently, it was employed against patriotic citizens who attended town-hall meetings and tea-party protests.

Limbaugh was one of the Bushevik apologists who spent eight years insisting that anybody who said anything bad about the President can't possible be a patriot and was only saying that because they hate America, wasn't he?

a whole LOT of backpeddaling going on.  Even he admits the comment came off as racist

Iwould challenge anyone out there to find one instance where Rush acted in a racist manner.

One instance?  I could spend all day finding you instances.  But this is on point:

In 2003, Limbaugh worked briefly on ESPN's NFL pregame show. He resigned after saying Philadelphia EaglesDonovan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.

Rush made discriminatory remarks? Source? Quotes?

Good luck with that.

Thanks, but I was under the impression I gave you a quote and source. 

In fact, I saw quite a few people on this thread give Rush's quotes and sources.

Did you somehow miss them or do you not believe they were racist?

Just about everything Rush says gives new meaning to the term "offensive line".

Yes...in that way he is reminiscent of Keith Olberman, don't you think?

There would have never been a market for a Keith Olbermann if Rush had not led the way in tabloid broadcasting.

Nothing to say about the media's use of false quotes nor their lack of apology for use of those quotes or about their unwillingness to verify before widespread reportage of those quotes?  But let's make sure we highlight the fact that he noted he might have stated his comment about Bloods and Crips in a different way.

Amazing.  BTW, those remarks on the link that damnedbluepanda was sending people to?  The veracity of those comments is now in question but once again, isn't it amazing how quotes allegedly made during interviews 15-20 years ago...crude and derogatory remarks...only now surfaced, just as he was trying to buy an NFL team?  Isn't it amazing how they popped up just as his show is becoming more popular again?

The difference is while Sharpton spoke about Limbaugh in general terms, Rush accused Sharpton of specific incidents that he claims not to have a part in.

So he may have a case.  And I wouldn't be surprised to hear an apology from Limbaugh.

You will not when i posted that, i never said he and he alone has done this.  I also posted a link about Fox winning the right to lie.  Did you catch that?  I didnt say they were the only one allowed to do so.  Just seems, like with Rush, they were the only ones caught.

Our past... for all of us.. tends to come back and haunt us from time to time.  Rush was not a "no body" back then with no aspirations.  He opened mouth... not he doesnt like the taste of his foot.

Ohhhhhhh Willlbeuuuuuur!

I did, and they showed a picture of some bloated fat-ass sitting behind a microphone with a cigar sticking out of his mouth.

But more to the point, why was he forced to resign if the comments he made weren't being interpreted by everyone as being racist?

Sharpton needs to shut his mouth. Here is a little gem of history about Al the tool bag

1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor. Pagones is wholly innocent — the crime never occurred — but Sharpton taunts him: “If we’re lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it.” Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation. To this day, Sharpton refuses to recant his unspeakable slander or to apologize for his role in the odious affair.


And he weants to sue Rush for calling him out?
