You apparently are not familiar with the concept of humor. I recommend that you check your borg implants in order to make sure they are working properly.
I was once a fan of Rush's show. He was funny back when he first was on radio. I used to listen to him in his 12-3:00 PM slot at work. I got a complaint against me to HR by someone whom reported to me who sat outside by office and was offended by Rush. Rush used to love it back when he allowed a few callers and he just loved it when confused Black people called. He would string them alone and if they were rediculous enough he would play their comments again and again. Then he became full of himself. I recall during the first Gulf War Rush was trying to make believe that he knew about military jatgon and knicknames but got caught. When a caller used the term " jarheads". Rush assumed that he was referring to Muslims and repeated the term " jarheads" and laughed and laughed and kept repeating "jarheads" laughing....thinking that he was laughing at Muslims. I just shook my head. Finally a caller told him that "jarheads" is a knicknames for Marines, US Marines. Soon after that I pulled further and further away from liking and listening to his show. Of course the HR complaint went on my "permanent record". Hey dead guys unless they are martyrs become yesterday's story.
Barely a racist quote in there. Mostly just truth. The bone in the nose comment had context if I recall. I don’t agree with the slavery line. But think hard. If not for slavery there wouod be far fewer blacks in this country. Think of the amazing accomplishments of some black people that would NEVER have had the opportunities because they would have been stuck back in Africa, quite possibly never been born due to disease, famine and war. Think about it. Nothign racist about the NFL quote or Obama quote. Just truth. The foreigner line was a mouthy call-in.
You realize how ignorant that makes you look? You just made his point. You won't listen to anything opposite to what you've been told so you choose to believe in what you've been told.
In my opinion it was cigar smoking and probably the inhalation of cigar smoke that caused Rush's cancer and early death. He began smoking cigars in the 90s and it is hard to not inhale after a point when you enjoy them. Rush comes from a very distinguished family. His grandfather, father and uncle were all judges. His cousin is currently a judge and his brother David is a lawyer. His grandfather lived to over 100 years old and his dad who was born in 1927 is still living past 90 according to wiki.
Haha, typical leftist, making judgements on people they admittedly have never listened to for more than 10 (now 19) seconds. I agree with a lot of what Rush says, and disagree with a lot of it. But, not being an ignorant leftist, I am sure to actually listen to what he says before I decide, whether I agree with the message or not. Typical leftists just assume judgement based on what their masters tell them. You fit the leftist drone role perfectly. Such a great follower!
Rush's comments about McNabb were not racist at all but they were stupid. McNabb was a very good player who was slumping at the time and Rush was stupid to allow race or politics into his commentary. Espn gave him a golden opportunity to just be a regular guy who loved football and knew something about it. He blew that opportunity.
the first sign of not having a good factual rebuttal to what someone says is to call it "denial" just sayin!
Indeed. And you can tell how great Rush was by the amount of dirt spewed on him by the enlightened Left. Post-mortem.
I know it's not the point of this thread, but I'm compelled to address this nonsense any time it rears its ignorant, disgusting head. Blacks brought here through the slave trade, and their descendants, were not ultimately rescued from some interminable hell. The disease and war you mentioned (and the subsequent poverty), where do you think much of that came from? Centuries of Europeans raiding the continent of its resources, subjugating its people, and fomenting conflict have scarred those nations. The "amazing accomplishments of some black people" were not made possible by those folks and their ancestors being brought here in chains. They happened despite the trauma this country, and others, have visited on those people. Those accomplishments, innovations, etc were robbed from Africa.
many people like to ignore how most slaves got here. They were SOLD by OTHER BLACKS for BOOZE! That doesn't justify it but don't act like Africa was some perfect, functioning society back in that day, it wasn't!
Not really the answer I expect from someone who started their last reply with "I know it's not the point of this thread"
How many years ago was that ? You gonna to hang your hat on whale oil mentality ? By that line of reasoning, Repugnants have played the name game for 150 years. Really, you still think democrats and republicans are the same parties they are now ? Seriously ? That’s whale oil mentality. Serious question. Were you asleep during all the history classes offered ?
Remember all of the things leftists say about this man... And hope that they say the same thing about you when you're gone.
