I'm really surprised here, TJN. As a woman, I feel that he was being condescending towards me. How am I taking a quote out of context when I am posting what my newspaper said about him? The article is from St. Louis. That's where I live and that's our football team.

I post that and he posts a definition for a reply. I don't need help with my vocabulary.

I replied that Rush said what he said and has said more than I posted. That's the truth. The football players felt the same way.
So did my Mayor and the City Hall.

He acted condescending by posting the definition in large print. I replied again and also large print. I also gave him a hint towards my feeling about it and told him that I didn't need larger print to be able to read.

Soo..he had to push it and post it again in large print and this time in red.

Then he said that I didn't read or understand the definition. Then he said that almost everybody in this thread is racist.

Then he asked me if I felt shame for being incredibly dishonest. WT? Then he told another that I was dishonest.

Good grief. This is what I get for posting part of an article from the newspaper of my city, the home of the Rams?

You are entitled to believe anything you like, but if you think a black man standing up for Rush convinces me that Rush is a wonderful guy, you've failed. And a photo of Obama smoking a joint? Doesn't look like him but so what if it is, it's not something he hide. That's the first thing I heard him talk about on the campaign trail, so what's that got to do with anything?

Oh and by the way that is the exactly the way my old man neighbor smokes a cigarette too, so to me it doesn't even look like a joint but I would care very little if it was. That was then and this is now.

Winx what your newspaper posted was a small portion of what rush said.

I tried explaining like this in an earlier post.

You can't take one sentance from a paragraph and get the meaning of the paragraph. that's taking it out of context.

That's what he was trying to say. And you kept posting the same portion of the "paragraph"

I just thought you would like it. Don't get all touchy.

Yeah, that black guy probably hates himself. Self-hating black man. Who cares. You are probably right. It's perfectly okay to judge someone on a quote taken out of context or even completely fabricated quotes and then ignore all of the defenders, no matter how right they are in their defense.

It's ok for our president to say this?

The difference between you and me is this: You think that they don't understand. I think they understand, they just don't care.

Alright white people, under the bus!

Allen Keyes is black and he is a major "Kenyan birth certificate believer" guy.But that doesnt make it legit

Rush is racist. He knows how to stay just under the line so he will not be dismissed by those who cannot see subtle racism but that doesn't make him unprejudice.

The fact that there are so many who see it. Should show people there is something to it.

I have had the unpleasant chance to listen to him and he is basically sliming all who listen with a course in how to be racist and keep it out of the spot light but still active.

Two totally different things.

Why would a black man defend a white racist? It goes against his own self-interest.

Why would a black man accuse his opponent of breaking the law? It serves his self-interest.

I hope you can see the difference in the two actions.

Touchy? A word I would should have expected... Give me a break! I was just sitting here commenting I wasn't even upset.

A self-hating black? Where the heck did that come from? I don't judge Rush for quotes, like I said I dont' care about the damn quotes, I do care about the dumba$$ thing he says in on his radio show though. And if you don't find them offensive as I find calling some black guy self-hating, then oh well. I'm sorry you can defend the guy all day long and it won't be 24 hours before he is saying something ridiculous again.

Doesn't change the fact that he can be a real jerk and will be over and over again.

Not wasting my time with youtube... if you want to tell me what it says great, but I dont' have time to wait for the bloody things to load.

Well, personally I think Rush sort of skirts the edges of saying outright racist things but doesnt ever totally cross the line. I think he knows that it jazzez up a lot of his listeners, but he doesnt want to totally alienate any potential african american supporters. I think he knows where the line is and he plays on that for ratings and attention

Both insulting, something you don't seem to care about yourself.

Oh my Allen Keyes and Rush in the same night. I'll have night mares.

Like what kind of things? Wouldn't you have to QUOTE him to answer that question? What has he said on his show...IN CONTEXT...which you have a problem with?

White folk's greed runs a world in need.

Or when he called his grand mother a "typical white person"

Those aren't racial comments

Honestly Rush doesnt really bother me. I grew up listening to him in the 90s and I dont really put any stock in anything he says. I dont give really give him any attention. Its just Rush doing his thing. Occasionally he's funny.

It's insulting to say you don't understand that Rush is being quoted out of context.

It's insulting to say that you understand that Rush is being quoted out of context, but don't care.
