      Wow. Paranoia anyone?

      Rush,

      It's called Zyprexa. Ask one of your many doctors about it.

      Sincerely,
      NGEddie

      Conservatives have a real talent for connecting any two events to make a cheap point.

      Except Rush, said white firefighters WON their case in front of the Supreme Court! You seemed to have forgotten that little bit of information in your tirade.

      And I don't see any white policemen under fire. They released the guy, didn't file charges against him, and I'm sure it will just go away. What the police officers did was indeed stupid, seeing as how the guy provided ID, and proof that he lived in the house he had "broken" into. And Boston today, still one of the most racist cities in the country.

        It was the Republicans that invited the white firemen to the hearings, last week.

        Mr. Gates, did thank the neighbor, for watching out for his place.

        Rush has made it clear, who he gives the benefit of the doubt to but he's not a racist. Rush ever hear of denial and projection?

      So rush, are you saying white policemen have the right to arrest and detain a black man in his own house because he's black?

        I think that Rush firmly believes in any man's rights to do as he pleases in his own home. No matter if that man is white, black or green.

        His problem is he doesn't like the idea that a man of Professor Gates color is allowed to live in Cambridge.

      rush clearly doesn't know whats going on because both Obama and Gates said that they appreciated what the neighbor did. They just felt that the arrest after proving that Gates lived there has a racial history behind it.

      At the risk of stating the obvious, Limbaugh is absolutely obsessed with race (and bending over, grabbing ankles). A week doesn't go by that he doesn't mention it. Discrimination, racism is a good thing as far as he's concerned. It's who he is and the guy just can't help himself.

      Rush, when law enforcement authorities found Viagra illegally in your possession at the airport didn't you claim that you had been targeted because of your notoriety?
