    Thank G-d we have you to tell us all what we are thinking....

    Hint: posting on a politics forum is not, I repeat, not equal to a "frenzy of hate".

    Good luck to you on getting a grip, nööööö

    Most of those quotes are not racist and those that might be are not from him. Calling Obama an angry black guy is racist now?

    The James Earl Ray and slavery comments were complete lies. He never said that!

    That's the best you can do the man was on the air for 30 year 15 hours a week? Should be a whole bunch of klan speak. Where is the N word? Took your hero Robert Byrd 2 minutes to use that word in a Foxnews interview.

    On November 11, 2010, Limbaugh proposed a new leadership position for Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC):

    Clyburn's worried about not having a car? Clyburn's worried about not having the perk of a big office? A driver? So, forth. The way this could all be worked out, Clyburn's new position: Driving Miss Nancy. He gets to keep the car. He gets to go everywhere she goes.

    On December 8, 2004, Limbaugh used similar gang-centric language to describe the NBA:

    You just gotta be who you are, and I think it's time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call 'em gangs.

    On January 19, 2011, Limbaugh mocked the speech of Chinese president Hu Jintao:

    Hu Jintao was just going, "Ching cha. Ching chang cho chow. Cha Chow. Ching Cho. Chi ba ba ba. Kwo kwa kwa kee. Cha ga ga. Ching chee chay. Ching zha bo ba. Chang cha. Chang cho chi che. Cha dee. Ooooh chee bada ba. Jee jee cho ba." Nobody was translating, but that's the closest I can get.

    On March 9, 2010, Limbaugh postulated what would happen if David Paterson, New York's first African-American governor, were to pick a replacement for the recently resigned Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY):

    Let's assume you're right [caller]. So, David Paterson will become the massa who gets to appoint whoever gets to take Massa's place. So, for the first time in his life, Paterson's gonna be a massa. Interesting, interesting.

    You seem to be angry.

    Actually, Rush Limbaugh DID say those things.

    Robert Byrd was not my hero.

    You kind of like to get personal, eh??

    To be fair CNN did a fair, reasonable and honest report on Rush. Here it is.

    Limbaugh never said that slavery was a good thing and never said that killing MLK was a good thing. Keep pushing the lib lies.

    Of course you think Robert Byrd is your hero because your entire party honored him. Obama, Biden and the Clintons goose stepped up to West Virginia to honor him. Those are your people.

    Honesty is not a common lib thing but can you Rush bashers be honest enough for 2 seconds and admit you have not listened to this man's radio show for longer than 10 minutes?

    You commentary is not based on any real experience.

    Mkay guys, at our next super-duper mega bigly secret CABAL meeting, we really need to set a time limit for watching the oh so venerable Mr. Sir. Rush Limpballs.
    I suggest 0.13 seconds maximum: that stuff can really rot the human brain!!

    Afterward, we can plan the FEMA JADE-HELM re-education camps for all of our serfs.

    And then we can gleefully sip our lattes and wear really cool pajamas.

    Forum rules prevent me from responding appropriately. Try to show a little class if possible.

    The Hitler Youth were equally rocked to their cores on April 30th, 1945.

    History is cyclical.

    I agree with you, it is totally classless. Rush Limbaugh should NEVER have said it, nöööööö-

    Our society has truly become lost. When the ideas of a government that takes little from the people, and in a fair manner, does only that which it is empowered to do by it's charter, lives within it's means, protects Her people, and embodies the truly American principals of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness become "horrible, vicious, vindictive, [and] hateful", and those who agree with that sort of rhetoric celebrate the death of a person who stood for the very values without which there would be no United States to begin with, then we are truly lost.

    That the above is seen as old fashioned, and the ramblings of evil itself, is so sad that I'm having a very hard time "using my words" to even describe it.

    We've gone from the land of the free, and the home of the brave, to having laws that actually force citizens to wear facemasks, and governments who feel it's within their power to close bars and restaurants, and it's all happened in the span of about only 25 or 30 years.

    Sorry if I seem a bit lost for words, that's because I AM!! That which even only as far back as most of our parents was seen as desirable and positive is now horrible, vicious, vindictive, and hateful??? Where the **** did those ideas even come from?? Now if I object to being forced at gunpoint to pay for another person's healthcare, rather than insisting that said other person take care of themselves, as we have always done, I'm horrible, vicious, vindictive, and hateful?? How and when did that happen???

    Please go try to sell crazy somewhere else. I've got plenty.

    I fully admit I have not listened to this man's radio show for longer than 10 seconds...

    I've also never watched YouTube's of the McCarthy hearings or listened to historical recordings of Joseph Goebbels...

    Doesn't mean I'm not generally aware of the content....

    Fascinating.
