      It's like trying to argue with a psychotic or a child... he is completely delusional and will never admit to a mistake made, he is always the victim of his own mis-steps

      Rush... there was no misrepresntation with Michael J. Fox, they simply played the tape. If what you said was misinterpreted, then apologize and explain what you meant to say.

      I'm tired of Rush playing the victim after he assails so many people, organizations and groups.

      Sour Grapes should be the Rush Organization.

      Someone should inform Rush that if you have to explain the jokes, then they really weren't funny to start with; or if you have to explain the comments, chances are you either weren't clear or were deliberately shading your intended meaning.

      He's a master of leading the lemmings to the cliff, then letting them take that next leap. Witness the numerous defenses of Rush on countless internet sites. Inevitably the defenders of the faith either parrot what he says or dig into more foul language.

      Problem is when these radio shows of his get beyond the core audience...well, we all know what that means. No NFL team!

      On his deathbed, Rush will whisper a variation on "Rosebud..."

        Poor Rush. Always the victim. He just can't accept that this has nothing to do with his political leanings and everything to do with the inflammatory racial rhetoric he's used throughout his career. It's not because George Soros is in the group and it's not because the NFL guy "voted for Obama." It's because of his continual race baiting. Well at least he has Newsmax to back him up.

      I think it's great that the totality of Rush Limbaugh's inappropriate statements are now being brought out collectively. Certainly he'll have his defenders...that is to be expected. But for most Americans following this, suddenly all of Rush Limbaugh's ugly divisiveness is being brought into clear and concise focus all at once. And that can't bode well for Rush Limbaugh. Polls already showed he has a very high disapproval rating to begin with. This could very well be the start of a new look at Rush Limbaugh y the American public. I've been saying that I think he'll retire in the next couple of years. We'll see...

      Don't look now, rush, but the "rock" is showing more than a few cracks in the foundation.

      All this reminds me of when my children were small. They'd poke their bottom lip out, sulk, stomp their feet and refuse to behave until they got what they wanted . . . they didn't win. Guess it's going to be a hard lesson for Rush to learn. My kids were taught that actions have consequences and that we all have to take responsibility for our actions. Looks like Rush missed out on that teaching.

      Rush has the right to say whatever he wants, however he wants to say it. This may not be what the Freedom of Speech ideal had in mind, but you have to take the good with the bad.

      Trying to get Rush to change his tune isn't working, so why not go after his enablers? Boycotting the radio stations that carry his show will do alot more to silence and minimalize Rush than going after the man himself.

        Some arround here listen for the laughs. Thats a stronger stomach than I have.
        Thing is you get limbic with a package from Clear Channel. Its been lucrative and relativily easy to put him on.
        Pressure on sponsers has had some sucess against Beck. When the dust settles on Beck, perhaps it can be tried on Limbic
