          I'm guessing Beck. He's the lest stable, least sane, least intelligent and least professional, of all the BIG BOYS anyway.

      "Brown man" is conservative code for the N-word. They claim to identify liberal code words all the time so why not us identify their racist language? Calling President Obama "brown man" is probably the least respectful and hateful phrases I have heard a conservative say on air. I don't know about the rest of you but if these pukes want to go to war, I say saddle the fukc up!!

        "...probably the least respectful and hateful phrases I have heard a conservative say on air."

        I was thinking the same thing. This was no slip of the tongue - this was insight into Quinn's psyche in it's purest form. In the context he used it, he was differentiating between himself and Obama while referring to Obama's use of the word "we". And his point of differentiation? Color.

        I'm not one to call names or use hyperbole, and I'm not about to start now when I say this guy is an out and out idiot racist.

      The right wing bobbleheads (including this loser) seem a little grumpier than usual today. I think Clinton's North Korean trip has put them off their game.

          In this context... ABSOLUTELY YES!!!

          What don't you get about that? Can you think of a reasonable NON-RACIST explanation?

      Come on Quinn... you almost did it... your one step closer to finally proving your true racist attitudes...

      You know you want to say it! What's stopping you?

      Why not just get it over with before Rush or Savage or Beck does it!

      These are the same people that don't want to pay for anyone else’s health care, do you think if asked to pay a very small part of the pacemaker cost for a woman that is 100 years old our friend will say yes? But in this case I don’t think payment was the question it was a medical decision and it was the doctor that said no, so they found a doctor that said yes.

      Quinn should look in the mirror for he is also brown.
      Back to the point we have to make this decision for we are all humans. It chills me people like Quinn and Rose actually cannot comprehend what Obama meant when he said, “This is the toughest decision we need to make the decision.” Each one of us will need to think about it. I think that what got his so riled up, he can’t stand knowing the only difference between the “races” is the tone of brown of our skin.

      You freak Quinn, you can twist and distort anything you want. That does not make sense. The majority of doctors probably fear putting anyone that age through surgery regardless of her health care plan or spirit.

        And to my favorite, Quinns' little under the desk buddy, I mean across the desk buddy, RADIO ROSE. She sits there like the dumb twit that she is and the self-proclaimed good 'christian' just agree and makes her own stupid, hateful speeches.
        I don't even tune in for my five minute limit of this three hour hate-fest. It is just too stupid and thier TrailerTrash Republican followers just suck it in. I imagine he still doesn't take an array of calls because this ignorant man couldn't discuss any issue for more than 30 seconds before playing a Seannie, another favorite of the Mistress of the Radio, Radio Rose.

        The scariest part of all of this is that Radio Rosie brags about allowing her son who is between 10 to 15 years of age to listen to Quinn, Hannity and whomever else can poison his mind. Now that is a great Mom and an even better Christian. This is child abuse. How can he not grow up to hate. And where is the father of this child? He allows this?? He must be more PW'd that the First Dude.
        As stated in above posts, why don't they be honest and just call Obama the N-Word? Hey, other than MMFAs' poor person who has to listen to Quinns' rambling(or should I be more accurate and say, his reading off the internet) no on will hear them.
        Knowing the read MMFA, I challenge the Sexual Harrasser to open the phone to only MMFA posters. Or at least he can hide behind his computer as he hides behind his microphone.
        I'm also suprised than Quinn did mention Clinton on the plane with those journalists. Come on, MMFA he must have said something about that. And the momoent you post that, I will post that he should ask his daughters what they'd do on a plane with Clinton.

      To get away from his 'brown' comment, which is reproachable, how many people both young and old have suffered or even died because needed care was denied them by their private insurance providers? These nut jobs are provoking fear based on twisted theory. There's documented proof of the heartless ineffectiveness of the current system.

      Quinn's comment was completely out of line, completely indefensible. But I did want to note that the line did not materialize solely out of Quinn's feeble brain. The comment is a reference to an old and not too terribly tasteful joke about the Lone Ranger and Tonto. The punch line: "What do you mean we, white man?" So I am willing to grant that Quinn made a stupid slip of the tongue. But, as slips to the tongue often do, the comment surely revealed what Quinn was probably thinking.
      Put it this way: I've known that Lone Ranger joke since my childhood, and it would never, ever occur to me to refer to the President as a "brown man."
      I suppose I should be thankful for small favors, inasmuch as "Quinn and Rose" aren't available on the radio in my area. We have to make do with Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, and Levin, alas.
