Is the only way you can make your point by altering what people have written? I said Rush is an entertainer and NOT a racist. You take the cake there, Boy Wonder!!!!!!
What else are we to conclude when you respond to Rush's racist comments by saying he's an entertainer but that you believe racism is entertaining? It would make sense that you find racists entertaining. That would help explain your weird obsession with defending and excusing them.
when asking you if you had a problem with rush doing the same thing that you're defending him from here, you responded: do you have any problem with his offensiveness, even if you don't believe he's racist?
Do me a favor. Go find all the stories in the last year that have to deal with racism, such as Gates, Reid, Rush, or any other reported story whether it is local, regional or national. Then separate those in which the accuser admits to be racist vs those who deny it. We won't even get into which color is accusing who.
No, how about you do us a favor and stop posting stupid crap like racism only exists because people say it does.
No one has yet to "prove" that Rush is any kind of racist-- just a bunch of hot-headed, hot-aired name-calling...
No more than any other "funnyman." There are all over the place. It's his schtick. To me it is tiresome but so is all of that kind of thing.
Obviously there is a difference of opinion here on what constitutes a racist. Why don't you define it, in your own words.
You have been shown the evidence of Rush's racist statements. You are either willfully blind to the evidence, or genuinely blind to the evidence. Either way is sad for you. The evidence has been presented. You just can't seem to see it. But it's pointless to try and present more evidence to someone who is unwilling or incapable of seeing it. You've shown that to be the case.
I posted a definition of racism earlier and asked people to cite evidence of anything Rush did or has done that fits the definition. So far no one has done anything about it except to say that it is "in the bag." The burden is theirs not mine. This group seems to want to define racism as referring to race... which is not racism. If they like Rush's politics better they wouldn't be so up in arms.
Still waiting on the evidence. I've never heard Rush say that people are inferior just for the sake of their race. That's what racism is and that's why him entrusting his show to a black host who endorses his politics is pretty proof-positive that Rush is not a racist. If he was, he wouldn't EVER trust a black host with his show nor a black guest expert. You think that making fun of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton is racism but it's not, it's making fun of them and in particular their race-baiting. I cited earlier what Steve Roberts said about Obama's remarks on Haiti; they matched Rushes only far less crude and inflammatory. It's called garnering headlines and grabbing an audience. It is what he does for a living. He is less sensational than Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle or maybe even Carlos Mencia. You know that I could post some butt-ugly stuff from those comedians who do 8 minutes of stuff far harsher than Rush's occasional lone comment. Face it, if you agree with him politically, you'd give it a pass. Instead you want to make a mountain out of a molehill and try to bring down the house.
I stay away from the DD section because of its clear bias spewtum from both sides of the political spectrum but defending his clown is inexcusable, dare I say it is unAmerican to believe anything this man says. He has put himself next to the likes of Alex Jones in his love to talk garbage that only the middle america low-educated corn farmers like to hear.
Rush doesn't have a clown to defend. Good analysis. I can tell you put a lot of thought and energy into this. Keep bringing it!
I actually do not see why his comment is racisme. Were is comment disgusting? Ofcourse. Is he a pathetic exuse for a human being? Without a doubt. However I do not really see the racism in here. Maybe I missed part of the comment?
I defined what racism is, and the type of racism you talk about hardly ever existed. That's the black and white worst kind of racism, but that isn't what racism is. Racism is treating people differently because of their skin color. Rush does that, and his comment shows that. I understand Rush is just trying to generate talk. That's why I said that i can't say 100% or not if Rush is a racist. He may be saying racist things only to brew trouble and increase his ratings. The quote you posted is entirely different than what Rush said. I pointed it out when you posted it. Why don't you call Rush's show and see if he agrees with you about him being on the level with comedian Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle? Then you'll have to defend him from attacking you. Again, you don't understand racism, and you use ignorant excuses that openly mocked for the very fact that they don't prevent someone from being a racist. I will ask again is a murderer who still has living friends really not a murderer?
1. How did Rush treat anyone differently because of their skin color? Anymore, racism seems to mean not treating someone differently because of their skin color. 2. What quote did I post to which you are referring? I don't remember retrieving anything only copying and pasting from here. 3. I don't think Rush is on the same level as Rock or Chapelle. They are way out there on the nth degree of offensiveness while Rush gets castigated for ococasionally uttering something that is a blip on that screen. 4. I think I do understand racism-- as much as anyone can. If anything, we are all racists. Why you want to pick on Rush seems to be more about his politics and his influence than his perceived racism.
Let me ask you a general question. Which would you find more offensive: (1) Filthy rich, privileged people mocking the plight of people who are less fortunate. (2) People speaking on behalf of the less fortunate groups that poke fun at the filthy rich, privileged people. Would you say they are equally bad?
