Rush Limbaugh -- racist comment?

[QUOTE=diffusionx]

Wasn't it the Chappelle Show that made a joke out of that? Like, a black guy was getting a job interview and the white interviewer said "well I dont think you're qualified", then he busted out the "Race Card" and all of the sudden he got the job. And that was the CHAPPELLE (a black guy) SHOW. Or maybe it was the Snoop Dogg show, I forgot.

I didnt catch that one, but they played it on mad tv, with vanilla ice and a girl who's dad ran the wb, wining a game of ebonics 50,000 dollar pyramid or something. And whileit was bull, i am no rush fan, so i dont feel bad, i have seen worse bs, so this dosent bother me as much. It seems that race is always going to be a crutch for people to take out those who they dont like, pity rush walked into it so stupidly.

I don't see Rush as the kind of guy who, given a choice between resigning and being fired, would take resigning.

It's amazing what bad PR will coax people into.

Anyone who'd call that statement racist is a fucking retard and that includes some of you. I still don't see a damn thing wrong with saying what he did. Shit, it was his honest opinion and perhaps even partially true.

If you want to be exposed to real racism come work with me for a short while. Watch as my co-workers spew out epithets at every chance they get, hear how they lovingly refer to Martin Luthor-King day as "Nigger Day" (I'm not making this shit up) and see how they instantly gang up on the one minority here and attempt to force him out.

Al Sharpton went where the cameras are and possibly ruined annother mans career just to get some air time, that's what he does, he goes where the cameras are instead of bringing them with him to shine a light on the true injustices of society. Instead of fighting real racism he goes to wherever it can be manufactured. If Sharpton was really out to make a difference he'd be right here, fighting to end this kind of archaic thinking. Shame though, there aren't any cameras arround for him.

Like I said vefore it's not racist but it is a ridiculous statement. It's not like McNabb is the first black QB ever. Or even the first good black QB. Cunningham and Moon were both very good. Shit, if there were any truth to it you'd have heard alot more about Jeff Blake over the last ten years or so. He's pretty damn good but no one knows who the fuck he is.

Rush Limbaugh is a complete ego-maniac asshole and it pleases me greatly to see him have to finally admit that he was wrong about something. In his little sheltered artifical media world everything he says is right because he doesn't even acknowledge that the other side exists. How can you be wrong when you never present the other side of the arguement? In the real world that crap doesn't fly and I applaud everyone who stood up and told him so.

He never should have been on a sports show to begin with. He knows as much about football as he does legimate journalism. Nothing.

Check out Drudge. The NY Daily News and The Enquirer are set to accuse Rush of pain-killer addiction. Convenient timing, eh?

Yes, Lhadatt. Obviously you have to be liberal to dislike Rush.

Rush's comments seemed harmless to me, without any racial motivation intended, just like he said.

He merely expressed an opinion, you either can agree or disagree with him. I for one, believe there is some truth to what he said.

Political Correctness is just way way out of control today.
Stop being so sensitive you damm pussies!
