      Exactly...thanks for saying that, Chris. Their motto should be, I'm a racist and I'm okay!

      I hope this ends Glenn Beck's time as a media pundit.
      I hope he goes the way of Jimmy The Greek
      He kept searching for that line and he finally found it, jumped over it, and hopefully is now spiraling to his death.

      His only hope is that Hannity says something even more stupid.

      I'd say Rush, but he appears to be immune to it all. He says ridiculous things all the time but he's become that crazy relative that nobody talks to at Thanksgiving and just mumbles to himself.

      It's aimed at telling people who are racists that they're right.

      Yeah, but only because that's his audience. This guy would switch to "lib" in a hollywood minute if he thought it would make him more money. I imagine what he truly believes is rarely if ever demonstrated on the air. Scratch that- he nmight not care enough to really believe in anything substantial.

        Some years ago, New American (published by the John Birch Society) had an interesting article about Rush Limbaugh... saying that if Limbaugh could make more money as a 'liberal', he would switch in an instant.
        I cannot find it online.

        In fact, one article that is online notes Limbaugh (etc.) have one goal:
        Making Money.
