        Apparently Evan Thomas did, but I'm sure as many liberals rolled their at that description as conservtives, possibly more: afterall, it annoys us to here that nonsense... It excites them!

        (And I say that as an very strong, unapologetic Obama believer! LOL.)

        Rush is the one who keeps saying that we liberals think Obama is the Messiah. You won't find liberals who will say that. But you will find people on the right who say that liberals think that Obama is their Messiah because Rush has told them it's true.

        Brainwashed imbeciles who can't seem to think for themselves. They're the exact opposite of most of the posters on the left here at MMfA.

      When this *man* passes on, I'm betting ALL major networks will eulogize him as some sort of 'voice for America' or some other crap.

      Whoa there, Rush. I thought you guys were color-blind so why are you playing that card?

      I'm betting the thing that bothers Rush most is the "half black" part of that statement. He's a pathetic, lying, deranged, bullying, lying (yes, I know I said it twice), windbag addict.

      Newsweek is "government run media"? Will some Rush apologist please cite a source for that assertion, other than Rush's Butt?

      Rush is committing a typical Logical Fallacy, which his fellow Troglodyte G.Gordon Liddy has preached about quite often. He's arguing from the "Specific to the general".

      In other words, he's taking the poorly chosen words of one (1) person and extrapolating it to the Media at large.

      I think Rush is right around the corner from the "N" word. He's dancing with it now... it's just a matter of time before it slips out.

      Then stop doing it Rush. Virtually all of that kind of talk comes from the right. Personally he was always a center left pol to me. He isnt doing much different than I thought he would and I am disappointed in him on many issues. It is your side for the most part pushing this silly meme and pretending it is coming from our side. Very little of it is.

      Whoa, that felt like he was about one second away from using the n-word. Just listen to how he spits out the words "half black, half white human being." No need to read between the lines there.

      Are we so inured to Rush's racism that comments like these have no impact anymore?

        Why do I feel like the word "white" is unnecessary in that excerpt to get a handle on his real opinion?

      Is Rush an old-school pagan in the British Isles all of a sudden? Because that's one big straw man he just set up.

        Good one. Lugnasa isn't all that far from lunacy, is it?

      Evan Thomas was being too cute by half. This guy is being too crazy by a ton and a half.
