Man in Black

[caseysmom]

Im going back a step or two here, But Caseysmom and Grace are calling Limbaugh a racist when they havent read or heard his comments about a LA Times oped piece?

I may have 2 or 3 learning disabilities but something is wrong here.

ETA: Im still interested on why Limbaugh's weight is an issue?

I never said that all I said was that you could go out on the internet and find info about Barack the magic negro. I never said anything about his weight either, I could care less. I really can't even listen to him his style is so obnoxious to me.

It's not. It's a fact. If it is so bothersome to you, I will go back and delete the comment

The Chelsea Clinton comment - I saw him say it. Back in the first Clinton administration, Rush had a TV show. I was watching the day he said it. It was then that the bloom went off the rose, so to speak.

As for the Magic Negro thing - I know he didn't originate it. But he sure made sure it didn't die a natural death.

He is prone to ridiculing the physical characteristics of those he dislikes on a regular basis.

One comment and picture dosent make a misogynist.

As for the Magic Negro thing - I know he didn't originate it. But he sure made sure it didn't die a natural death.

And if you actually listened to his commentary you would know why he didnt let it die. It dosent make him racist.

[Grace]

I am not ridiculing him - simply stating the fact that he is morbidly obese. I didn't imply he looked like a dog.

As for the rest of your remarks - you have your opinion, I have mine. IMO, he is a racist and misogynist. In yours, he is not.

So be it.

I agree with you Grace. RL's thoughts on anything is worth nothing. He
is a hypocrite & a coward. Anyone over the age of 20 should know this
guy by now.

And don't forget -- drug addict!

And yes...I did listen to his speech. It wasn't easy but I feel it is important to hear both sides of an issue. Why is he - like other of his ilk - Ann Coulter for example - so mean-spirited? So full of hate?

I'd fight to the bitter end over his right to speak his piece. It just frightens me that there are people who see him as someone to be taken seriously.

*pokes head in* I personally think cirtian "sides" would be taken less harshly if those sides wouldn't let obnoxious loudmouths sound off to the masses.

Am I pointing fingers? No, I just think that the Repubs and the Dems need WAY better PR people because what they have going on now makes them both look like arses.

An admitted addict, its part of the healing proccess, I think.

I will not now of ever deffend Ann Coulter. I also would not compare Limbagh to Coulter, I would question why you would.

I call BS to this.

And why does it frighten you?

It frightens me that there are so many people on this BB who would happily erode our liberties to be a little more "safe".

Rush is a commentator/entertainer. To give him any more clout than that is...well....silly.

Better yet, have you ever wondered why conservative radio and TV shows VASTLY outrate anything Liberals do? I'll give you a hint.... It is NOT that we are all stupid rubes, looking to people for the answer.

Screw it

You wouldnt have brought up his weight unless it was to ridicule him.

As for the rest of your remarks - you have your opinion, I have mine. IMO, he is a racist and misogynist. In yours, he is not.

If he is a racist and a mysogynist you have not proven your case. Im open to your evidence.

So be it.

Weak.
