How 'bout it, MMfA? Will you make a secret underground site, mirroring this one, with no profanity filters? A seasoning of bad language can add a much needed punch, transcending vulgarity to achieve art in it's purer forms. Someplace with a less restrained, perhaps more festive atmosphere where we can poke fun at the ignorance of various talking heads? Or, does one already exist, and I'm just not hip enough to be aware of it?

"See, Rush is racist against Indians too!"
Limbaugh is an overpaid RADIO DISC JOCKEY, kdork, with a very, very limited education. The fact that people like you listen to him and believe that he's anything but is very scary.
I don't think you have anything to be scared about. What I'm scared of is people who can't listen to someone who has a different opinion, without getting scared.
pundit:
an expert in a particular subject or field who is frequently called on to give opinions about it to the public
I guess so
False analogy.
Rush isn't a regular American citizen with a political opinion...Rush is a Public Figure with a political opinion.
Last time I checked...average people on message boards or elsewhere have never called themselves "pundits"
Democracy is damned by the very stoopidity and ignorance it protects, if the citizens allow it. The followers of limpaugh, hannitard, et al, are not only allowing it, they're contributing to the cause.
Whether or not you're offended all the time you listen doesn't really factor into it. A lack of offensive material is simply not the same as making a good point.
Beyond the one at the top of his head...or is that the sheet?

Hey, dork, I hope you keep that thought in mind when the neocons go after Obama for his connections with Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Kevin Jennings, ad nauseum.

I'm not a troll. I don't even know what a troll is.
priceless
And what the hell difference does it make whether those claiming racism are white or not? You don't have to be a minority to recognize bigotry against a minority.
Sure, I can see how SOME of his comments that people SAY are racist could be viewed that way, BUT, I can also see where some of the things that people say are racist are just knit-picking, and not necessarily racist.
Your comment about distinguishing between "knit-picking" actual racism is exactly what I'm talking about. You're evaluating the weight of the argument based on the nature of the "knit-picking" evidence.
Fine. Then why do you spend almost a dozen posts complaining because someone else's definition of racism doesn't match yours? As long as you are going to insist that we use your yardstick before we call someone a racist, could you please tell us what your definition is?
Or better yet- check out your original post, admit that you've already told us that you don't know what racism is, and STFU. Because once you've admitted it's a matter of opinion, you really had nothing further to add.
I just don't think that all the examples cited as "Rush's racism" are racist. I can understand how OTHERS could think so, but I don't think much of it is racist, because I don't think he is trying to be racially offensive.
I personally think something is racist when it is intended to be hurtful and racially offensive. I'm a black guy from Texas, so believe me when I say that I've have my share of encounters with racism.
I think someone stating that they think blacks are inherently inferior is racially offensive, whatever their "reasoning."
For instance, I could tell that this one person was racist when they called me the n-word and then sicked dogs on me. It wasn't that difficult to read their intent.
I've been called the n-word a few times, and every time I was somehow able to realize that they were trying to offend me.
I can't figure out if you are obsessed with your skin color, or just determined to use it as a shield to stave off criticism. Either way, pretty sad.
By the way, I'm a white guy living in Maryland. Does that matter?
Just a thought, though.
Maybe you are the one who needs to get out more.
I have Indian friends, and they don't mind being called Indian. Maybe some people are just looking to be offended.
I just don't think that some of the things that he's said that PEOPLE SAY ARE RACIST, are actually racist.
I think it says that I have a different idea of what is racist is than you. Does this make me a bad person?
I know black people who refer to themselves as N**gers. Does that mean that if I, a white person, uses that term, I'm not being racist?
And once again, "there is no consensus on what is racist," but you know Rush isn't racist, and you know you aren't. How did you pull off that neat little trick?
Come back when you've taken a few classes in Debating 101.
If something can be racist to one person, but not to another, then it's all pointless.
Is there, or can there be, any truth?
"If something can be racist to one person, but not to another, then it's all pointless"- so if you don't find something racist, it's not racist. Got it.
"Is there, or can there be, any truth?" Yes, here's a nugget of truth- you enjoy reading your own posts and listening to yourself type. That's the only way I can comprehend why anyone would spend the time you did bashing anyone who said Limbaugh as a racist, while first saying "we can't know what racism is" and concluding (hopefully) with "Is there, or can there be, any truth?"
Your brain is a disaster area. Hey, another nugget of truth!
... like your amigo Rushbo (another oh-so-clever vieled mockery of the Spanish language; you know it's just so funny to put an "o" at the end of words and viola, you're speaking Spanish!)
Lighten up.
Can you not comprehend that someone can bring up racial things WITHOUT being a racist? Talking in the accent of a group of people simply does not necessarily make one racist. I think this is the tolerant way to look at it.
Again, this isn't "talking in the accent of a group of people," k1dork. It is using a stereotypical FAKE language pattern. Stereotyping a group of people is RACISM, k1dork.
I'm outta this discussion.
There's nothing more annoying than knuckledragging racists who tell you to "lighten up" or get a sense of humor after their racism has been exposed. It's a pathetic attempt to make the hypersensitive minority the one who's the problem as opposed to the racist. It's a diversionary smokescreen.
Maybe you need to get out of you little box, and experinece that everyone who finds humor in such things does NOT have to be racist.
Cluelessness is not a respecter of skin color.
Now, the NFL players who refused to work for Limbaugh? Those guys are Black.
Look, I understand HOW, I just don't agree. I just don't agree that some of the things that people say are racist are actually racist.
The reason you and Rush claiming he is joking is that I never hear this. I never hear him just sitting back and laughing his backside off, slapping his knee, the whole bit. And so, I don't think it's comedy. Just my opinion, but as much anger and hate as he seems to harbor, I'm not really sure he's capable of what most of the rest of us would recognize as comedy, k1dork.
Give your cat another kiss on the lips, it will make you feel better.
You can freely say racist things, and if/when someone calls you out for it, it's because they're "reverse racist" (since hatred of racist white people is the new racism), or because they're just "playing the race card again".
You look like a big heap of doo doo or:
Yep. That is you Rushie!
Besides, I thought Rush said that all poor people had to pull themselves up even if the government was pushing policies that benefit only the rich -- as it did for most of Bush's eight years. And that complaining about not being able to make ends meet or pay for healthcare was "whining." So even if the economy is bad -- and I, of course, trust a man with a high school education -- what does he care?
White (fat) man speak with forked tongue.
