    Yes indeed! Hated by Liberals, loved by Conservatives.

    I love it when the left demonstrates Godwin's law.

    Good to know that you love something, however, your tastes are not really germane to this thread.

    Also, I am a Jew, I know full well what Godwin's Law means.

    But thanks, anyway.

    Racism is believing Black people cannot learn math.

    And if Pelosi died tomorrow, the "ding dong the witch is dead" memes would saturate the internet. Granted, many of those would come from progressive libs as well as conservatives.

    racism is believing that black people are too stupid to get a government issued ID
    racism is believing that blacks cannot succeed without the government's help.

    I believe it's ok to dislike a black person and not be racist. Maybe they are just an a**.

    Well, in all honesty, sleepy Joe believes some black parents can not read or write. He said so himself.

    Stay accurate my good man. The republicans and democrats are not the same as today’s parties. Today’s Dems did not form the KKK. It’s repugnant to claim so. Again, you’re welcome to research a history text. It’s not hard stuff to find. I don’t expect you to. That’s why the subject was changed.

    And whites today did not own slaves. To talk like one group owes another something based on whatever happened 150 -300 years ago is just as repugnant. And, when someone, like Rush, says anything about that, they are labeled a racist. Also repugnant.

    On my FB the leftwing especially musicians are going ape and dancing with joy led off my comments such as

    "Today let us remember Rush Limbaugh in his passing, in his own words. On the death of Jerry Garcia: “Just another dead doper. And a dirtbag.”"

    So I went and searched Google and Yahoo and posted back

    "I read that quote elsewhere too so did a search on Google and Yahoo and funny the only references, just a few, to that are other people are claiming he said that. The LA Times reports what he actually said was "When Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia died, Limbaugh mocked tributes to the musician, arguing, “Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he’s being honored, like some godlike figure.”"
    https://www.latimes.com/.../la-xpm-2003-nov-18-et-rush18...

    The entire quote is ""When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike
    figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.""
    Not quite as be claimed."

    Responses "well he said it somewhere else" and "oh well, doesn’t matter. He’s dead now."

    To which I replied

    "Well I think it matters even in death that if one is going to be criticized for something they said it should exactly what they said and not some urban myth. And it was too bad Garcia wrecked his life on drugs."

    No retractions, no "oh thanks now we know he didn't say that".

    Just more attacks and piling on in another direction

    So, you know it all, then explain to me how I'm wrong.

    How is wanting lower taxes horrible, vicious, vindictive, and hateful?

    How is expecting the government to live within it's Constitutional role horrible, vicious, vindictive, and hateful?

    How is protecting your nations borders horrible, vicious, vindictive, and hateful?

    How is the spirit of rugged individualism and self responsibility horrible, vicious, vindictive, and hateful? What about American exceptionalism? A strong military? Respecting and enforcing the Second Amendment? Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?

    I could go on and on for hours, maybe even days, but let's start with this very simple list. How are those things horrible, vicious, vindictive, and hateful? For that matter, how can that phrase apply to anything that is the very character of our nation?

    You know so much, this should be child's play for you. So, please, share with the class.

    It’s repugnant to redistrict areas of representation to minimize the votes of African Americans. It’s also repugnant to limit the number of polling places per capita in these districts. Would you agree ? Would you also agree it’s repugnant to make voting harder when there is no evidence to justify voter fraud. Should you ?

    Once upon a time was a typical uninformed mainstream liberal. A guy I used to see in the gym was a big Rush fan. I asked him how he could listen to that crap even though my political diet consisted of whatever leftist trash was being pumped out by the msm at the time. He said "just listen, just listen." I did and haven't looked back since.

    I am grateful to Rush for cutting through all the leftist confusion and intelligently making the case for the preservation of America. I would not be the deplorable I am today without Rush. God bless and rest in peace.

    Got an audio of that? Got more that unverified quotes posted on the internet because I was seeing similar about alleged statement he made about Jerry Garcia which having to dig deep I found out what it actually said and it was entirely different.

    See Msg #294

    Really, care to discuss his “AIDS Update” where he openly mocked people dying excruciating deaths?

    If he did that he probably apologized. Are you going to apologize?
