    Make what you want to of it, but I'm just sharing. I'm really interested to hear what the conservatives on here who worship this racist have to say. There is nothing wrong with having pride in your race, but it's pretty obvious to me that this guy openly has a problem with minorities and that's when it becomes a problem imo.

    Rush is just playing to his audience, I personally don't care anymore

    although I hate to be the guy to come into a thread to say I don't care

    I was facebooking and ran into a group of conservatives, who said their kids listen to Rush every day and want to be just like him. I can only imagine what a conversation between this guy and Mel Gibson would be like when talking about other groups of people.

    Rush is like that racist uncle you only hear offhand because you can't stand to be in the same area as him.

    personally I think this comment sets race relations back and all white people should be obligated to stand up to him because he's a community leader.

    I know this a joke referring to the Jackson thread, but I really wish I could do something to shut him up. Too mad he has millions of mindless listeners.

    This really makes me realize how real the overt racism is in the country when a guy can make blatant racist statements over and over again and people will make excuses for him to keep him promoting their beliefs. All of the people in America they could have picked to be on the radio and this is the guy they gave a 400 million dollar contract too? There is something seriously wrong with this country and we have a long way to go.

    Rush is nothing but an old fashion racist/bigot. Nothing new about that.

    What really gets me, is his listeners are probably the same people that would insist that racism is dead.

    I think people are more shocked that he says this crap and still has a soapbox and listeners, not so much that he says stupid stuff.

    OK so he said he was a great capitalist that made many people millions of dollars and was not racist in who he made the money for.


    Why is this controversial?

    I haven't listened to Rush in over 15 years.

    He was refreshing and entertaining once when he was the "only one".

    I didn't really find him racist back then. Has he gone off the deep end in recent years?

    Also - I would say blacks have helped Steinbrenner more than vice versa.
