      Next he'll be claiming it's not offensive for him to use the n-word because black people use it.

      Sorry, even pulling up the Urban Dictionary, you fail, Rush. The use of that term, in no way describes Mr. Obama. You, on the other hand, have your picture next to the definition.

      You used the term instead of the more offensive and racist, "boy." The Urban Dictionary definition isn't what you meant.

          ...and from Urban Dictionary:

          "And now the liberals want to stop President Reagan from selling chemical warfare agents and military equipment to Saddam Hussein, and why? Because Saddam 'allegedly' gassed a few Kurds in his own country. Mark my words. All of this talk of Saddam Hussein being a 'war criminal' or 'committing crimes against humanity' is the same old thing. LIBERAL HATE SPEECH! And speaking of poison gas ...I SAY WE ROUND UP ALL THE DRUG ADDICTS AND GAS THEM."

          What's messed up is that I know a Limbaugh. So I think that definition is a little unfair and tragic to some. He is actually a relative of Rush. And he comes across as the opposite of Rush.

            My sincere apologies for taking part in attacking the innocent, but in my defense, it wasn't my quote.

      sounds as if Rush is talkin about himself when he reads definition of the word,,even thought im sure he would love to call Obama the n-word on the air. but doesnt it sound like Rush is doing all the whining?,,Isnt it also true that Obama did inherit all thes problems from Bush administration?,,,while its been allmost a yr since are these idiots suggesting that what Obama and his team inherited is now their own fault?,,,how absurb and more ridiculous can they get?

      This underscores perfectly that Limbaugh is a wimp first and a racist second.

      Rush, do we have the same president? The cool and confident, black guy that is at times annoyingly optimistic and even more often apologetic and compassionate towards your neanderthal party than his own party would like him to be? That guy?

      Man Child- is a fully-grown male that acts like a baby. A Man Child usually whines, complains, and thinks everything is unfair.

      Sounds like you Rushie! Projection is the tool of the reich.

      Was it racist using the term "man-child"... borderline, maybe.

      Was it racist when you called a college aged Barack Obama a "boy" ... you bet your fat swollen @$$ it was racist!

        He should use that Urban dictionary to also look up the word "boy" which he so routinely uses to describe Pres. Obama.

        It certainly is easy to believe you are always correct when one hides behind a radio show and conservative talk shows.

      August 20, 2008:

      Rush Limbaugh: "Obama's patriotism is not being attacked in an ad. McCain's just out there saying he's putting his own personal political ambition ahead of the country's. It's -- you know, it's just -- it's just we can't hit the girl. I don't care how far feminism's saying, you can't hit the girl, and you can't -- you can't criticize the little black man-child. You just can't do it, 'cause it's just not right. It's not fair. He's such a victim."
