Democrats blast Limbaugh for comment about Kennedy.

[Volkswagon 0]

Rush Limbaugh once advised a black caller to his radio show: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

He said that in the 1970's, and has since said that he regrets it. Having listened to Rush for nearly two decades, I find more to apprecaite about him than I do to dislike. One thing is that he is not condescening toward minorities, like libs are. I don't have a "plight" for them to exploit, EXCEPT that, as a conservative, I'm not convinced that I'm constantly being discriminated against, owed something, or need help from the government to make a good life for myself. I'd make a lousy minority lib.

Maybe in 30 years he'll regret saying bad things about Obama.

Like your as pure as the driven snow Still suckin that Obama binky?

Whose are you sucking?

Your white and I would advise you to do the same thing!

Of course you would.

[Tahoma 2,292]

Look around you and pay attention, please. If the OT is your idea of a brain trust, I am about to reveal what must be a secret in your world:

There is no sustained depth on the OT. Not from you (although you clearly think you project it), and not from me, nor anyone else.

I learned long ago to accept that I don't have the power to control anyone but me. So, here, I just give as good as I get, and the getting is pretty shallow and insipid. I don't come to the OT to offer more than that, nor do I expect more than that, or I would be beating my head against a wall every day. This is not a genious forum; the best we can do here, with varying agendas, levels of self-awareness and communication skills, is debate-lite. But, for me, after a day deep in analytical thought and substantive exchanges, it is a great place to come for harmless amusement and pseudo-intellectual repartee. You can ignore the fact that there is no more to it than that, but hopefully, for your own sanity, that reality will strike you soon. In the meantime, you are now keenly aware that this is how I see it, then take it or leave it, as you choose.

This must be one of your uncomfortable rants.

It's always interesting to see how often people resort to the same hyperbole, conjecture and ad homineum they accuse me of as they respond to me. I've never understood why there are a few who believe that if you don't post by their (imaginary, arbitrary) rules, then you're being definitively disingenuous. Oh, well. No one forces me to play in this sand box, so, so be it.

Uh, ok. Now maybe you could enlighten us by telling us what your comment about Barry has to do with this thread about an intellectually incoherent, culturally intolerant, perpetually outraged, angry white man who's sole interest is to collect a fat paycheck by sitting on his drug-addicted bum in West Palm Beach and demonize gays, people of color, Muslims, feminists, and anyone else who doesn't fit his white-picket-fence fantasies.

I don't like Barry. You don't like Rush. Whenever someone calls Rush a druggie, I have visions of Barry toking jits and using cocaine, as he has freely admitted to doing. This is the OT; what law makes them have to relate to each other more than that?

I listen to Rush's show everyday. I have for nearly two decades, and I'm female, Muslim, a person of color. He's hardly as bad as you depict him to be. Liberals are FAR more angry and most of them are or have been druggies, too, so most of them can hardly criticize Rush with any credibility. He's far less of a racist than those who voted for Barry and fawn over him because he's Black, and the first Black president. What a joke!

Under Obamas plan ol' Ted is a chronic case and would be sent home to die without further care or put to sleep. One of the two.

You say that like it's a bad thing?!

Rush is a chopf#ck!!!

And a druggie.......oxycontins anyone ?

Barry can supply the cocaine.

VW...

Thank you for your enlightening post, as I have learned a lot from it. For example:

> Responding to the substance of a posting is always optional, especially when it makes you uncomfortable because you realize that you can't defend the indefensible.

> Since this is the Off Topic forum, it does not matter what subject you are talking about with someone. You can simply respond with any unrelated rant.

> In our conversation, the first unrelated rant that came to your mind was about anyone you could think of who was not a hypocritical drug addict who believes that all those other drug addicts should be taken out and shot.

> It's perfectly fine with you if Rush Limbaugh has a double standard regarding drug addiction.

> In your opinion, Rush Limbaugh is "hardly as bad" as I depict him to be. Instead, you view him as run-of-the-mill bad.

> You know every liberal in the country, and that's why you can assert with authority that they "are far more angry" and "most of them have been druggies too" .

> You would never be intellectually dishonest enough to paint a group with a broad brush.

> You believe that liberals who are not angry nor drug addicts have a lot to be critical of regarding Rush Limbaugh's act.

> You believe that Rush Limbaugh is a racist, just "less" so than those who are proud to have voted for, and fawn over, Barry.

> You are female, Muslim, and a person of color who has been insulted by Rush Limbaugh for twenty years...and you are still oblivious to it.

> You actually think Rush Limbaugh is interested in more than his ratings and the size of his next paycheck.

Thanks again for the lesson.

PS...since this is the Off Topic forum, and we are allowed to change the subject of any conversation in any thread at any time for any reason, I thought I would let you know that there is also something that I don't like...liver and onions. Whenever someone mentions Rush Limbaugh, I have "visions" of that stinking mess sitting on a plate in front of me.

BW...

There you go again...another clumsy (and obvious) attempt to sidestep my posting. This time, you've switched to using sweeping generalities, and to big words that you can't even spell correctly.

It's a mystery to me why you let your pride get in the way of admitting that you've hung yourself with your own words. Maybe it's easier for you to simply take your ball and go home. Is this an example of your "depth"?

Now you are blaming the forum...that's deep! I nominate you as the Master of Avoidance.

I don't avoid anything important. Remain as obtuse as you like, but don't wait around to see if that makes any difference to me.

I'd make a lousy minority lib.

This quote is simply one among thousands of examples. The only reason he regrets those words is because they are bad for business, not because he has changed his views. I will, however, give Rush Limbaugh credit for being a good businessman, since he realizes that prejudice, bigotry, and intolerance sell better than outright racism. With him, it's all about the benjamins.

Your current fact-challenged diatribe about minorities would make Rush proud. It is people like you and Rush who are destroying the once-proud GOP.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Trouble with Rush is that I don't think he actually believes the things that he says - rather he says them to provoke a reaction and to draw attention to himself in the media.

Coulter is arguably worse, mind you.

It wasn't a diatribe; just a statement of my position. Try unloading the overstatements, and you may start to make more sense. I'm hardly destroying the GOP by disagreeing with you and agreeing with Rush. Frankly, as long as I'm disagreeing with liberals, I know my conservative compass is still pointing in the right direction

Hi Danno...

I missed you after you dropped out of the thread about equal opportunity. In that thread, wasn't it you who said there was a 50% drop out rate for African Americans in your local high schools? When Ling Ling challenged you on that assertion, you simply ignored him. Later, on another thread, I saw where you posted a column by Pat Buchanan that used that same line. Danno, you BS-er! You lifted a Buchanan line and made it your own! No wonder you ignored Ling Ling when he called you out on it. Now I know why you are a plastics expert!

You make me laugh, do you think I scan every post to see what someone might have said in a follow up?

By the way I think I said "Black males" not african americans as a whole.

I wrote about the 50% number because that was what I heard on the local news.

The fact that Pat Buchanan also used this common stat means .....what?

If you pulled your head out of your crack for a few minutes a day you might learn something dude.

<<<Dr. Andrew Jones, Round Table secretary and Dallas County Community College District vice chancellor for educational affairs, added context to the discussion in his remarks before the assembled crowd, which included community college presidents from across the nation. “In most of our major cities in this country, less than 50 percent of African-American males graduate from high school.>>>
