      I hope his beloved Kathryn doesn't develop the empty next syndrome and spawn another pachyderm.

        to sharpe:

        Rush hates American as long as a black man is in the Oval office. Rush would gladly welcome Bush and his administration back over having a black President.
        Rush [also] would rather die than let a black man guise America to safety.
        Like all racist people Rush has a sick twisted mind, unfortunately he has a large following. That makes him very dangerous.

            No more than Rush can provide evidence that backs up his claim.

      At first, I wanted to classify this as a Straw Man, but I think Big Fat Lie is more appropriate.

      Other than hate, the purpose of Rush saying such nonsense is to build up rage, divide people along racial lines and incite white folks to take up arms.

        That's ridiculous, and I object to you trying to push the ridiculous accusation that "white folk" are angry because BO is black. The anger is directed at the lousy job that BO is doing, it wouldn't matter what color he is. Anyway, he's both white and black, so how does race even come into it?

            That is pure propaganda. Give me something other than a progressive blogsite full of elitists who think they're smarter than everyone else.

            University of Washington? What is the margin for error? How many people polled? Sorry,

              I appreciate that you don't like firedoglake, or that unlike your sources they are not shown repeatedly to be wrong.

              It was strictly a news item on the Udub studydetails from Udub. The others parts referrences suport from both a CBS/NYT pol and one from Gallup.

      He's really obsessed with this "payback time' thing, isn't he? That word, "payback", is revealing; it's like he's aknowledging all the wrongdoing of conservatives, and admitting minorities have reason to want "revenge"...

        I would suggest listening to the whole segment, not just 58 seconds of what MMFA wants you to hear.

          Actually, I'd suggest YOU and your fellow trolls listen to his whole show... you've been failing to notice Rush's more inflamatory comments.
          Or at least you're refusing to defend them when someone points them out...
