If Rush is such a racist, why are all these false quotes being made up?

As far as I know negro is not considered racist. It isn't used as often as it used to be but it is still used. I'd think they'd have changed the name of the United Negro College Fund by now if it was. I can't say it was used in the song as racist. If we're going down that road then there are a number of other songs, etc. that could be called racist too. Maybe it wouldn't be such an issue if his race hadn't be made so much of in the first place.
Whether this song was sung or whatever on his show does not change the fact that lies were made up about Limbaugh and as far as I know this song wasn't even an issue brought up. Get him on what he actually did, not what someone lied about to make him sound worse.

"Second, I haven't called Rush a racist"

You sure as he!l have you liar! YOU were the first person I saw spouting lies like those I listed here. When I asked for a source you conveniently disappeared. Not before

Does THIS sound familiar debater?

"The fact that you will defend a racist shows everyone how far you have your head up your a$$ Taskr. I have showed you many of his racist quotes, and you will find a way to defend it in your own mind. So the question I have for you is if you can defend these comments doesn't that make YOU a RACIST?"

Here's another one you said Debater.

"Taskr, like this is Rush's first racist remark? This man makes David Duke look like a saint. His racist views are spewed on a daily basis, and they need to be brought to the American people so they know what he is saying."

Hmmm, well he never claimed to be an honest debater.

Yowsa.

Oh SNAP!

Before we go on a witch hunt of "racist" ignorance, let's remember what the term "Magic Negro" means.

The "magic negro" is a literary device. It is used in fiction to describe a supporting character who helps the protagonist succeed. Some of our favorite books and films use this device. Bagger Vance, The Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar Baby, The Shining...

Rush or satirist Paul Shanklin were only attaching the term to Barrack Obama to parodying the use of the term by David Ehrenstein (A Democrat).

It's hardly as racist or offensive as Obama's own VP saying:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

So, before you go on with your ignorance, at least understand the terms your throwing around.

LMAO...someone needs to keep better track of their posts....

Taskr, I should have said that I don't think that Rush's racist comments were a factor in the NFL's decision. Yes, Rush has made racist comments in the past: Calling an NFL game as a game between the Bloods and Crips? I guess that isn't a racist comment is it? What about all of the white NFL players. Are they all gang memebers as well? Rush's comments about Darfur. These are all examples of Rush's race problems. But, I still don't think that it had anything to do with his NFL bid. That was all business.

Irish, weren't you the one that sent me a list of the lies about Rush's comments that featured more blogs than news site?

Ted, I have heard that audio of this, and you can defend it all you want, but it is what it is. Most people who listen to it and think it isn't racist are the same people that got the racist e-mails after the election and thought they were funny, and forwarded them to their friends. I know that those won't admit it, but that is their problem. We still have a major race problem in this country, and many that use that as a tool to control people. Is Rush one of them?

"Calling an NFL game as a game between the Bloods and Crips?"

He was clearly referring to the NFL's tolerance of violent criminals in the league. You can't deny that they've had no issue with allowing wife beaters, animal torturers, and gang members to keep playing so long as they are talented enough. How long was Ray Lewis suspended for again? Oh yeah, 0 days. Then when he won a Super Bowl they called it his "redemption". Yeah, cause winning a Super Bowl will bring those guys back from the dead.

"Rush's comments about Darfur."

Tell me exactly how his Darfur comments were racist. He was analyzing why democrats wanted our troops in Darfur, but not Iraq. No Democrat has ever been able to explain that to me.

I'll give you credit though, you nicely sidestepped the fact that I caught you blatantly lying. I guess you do it often enough that it's not really something you bother to address anymore.

Greatdebater, and yet you worship the racist, Obama.

Debater, do you even care that CNN lied about Rush? Or is it ok, because they are CNN?

"He was clearly referring to the NFL's tolerance of violent criminals in the league. You can't deny that they've had no issue with allowing wife beaters, animal torturers, and gang members to keep playing so long as they are talented enough. How long was Ray Lewis suspended for again? Oh yeah, 0 days. Then when he won a Super Bowl they called it his "redemption". Yeah, cause winning a Super Bowl will bring those guys back from the dead."

Clearly he was talking about a bunch of Black Men who are in a gang killing each other. How many white members are there of either gang? How many gang members are there in the NFL? When was the last time a gang member was killed on an NFL field? Like I have told you before, Rush makes comments like this all the time. He is like that old guy that makes comments that can easily be taken as racist, but is smart enough not to come out and say it. But, that doesn't mean that he isn't one.

"Rush's comments about Darfur."

"Tell me exactly how his Darfur comments were racist. He was analyzing why democrats wanted our troops in Darfur, but not Iraq."

Because Darfur was a country made up of black people, and Iraq isn't. Rush claimed that Democrats were trying to secure the black vote. When we have invaded countries for doing less (Iraq). We were also lied to about Iraq, and I have yet to find one republican that can show me any proof that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. D!ck Cheney has still never showed the country any proof of his claim, but to this day he says there is. Put up, or shut up D!ck!!!!

"I'll give you credit though, you nicely sidestepped the fact that I caught you blatantly lying. I guess you do it often enough that it's not really someth"

Taskr, like I said I miss spoke. I know that you were so happy to see where I screwed up, but you do think you want. I could careless what you think Taskr.

Ted, I don't consider Obama to be a racist, and I have never seen anything to challenge that.

When it comes to CNN lying, I am not happy with them not doing the research in this case. But, many consider CNN and FOX to be in the same class, and I can show you of many times when FOX hasn't done the research they should have. Do you defend FOX when they lie to us?

"Tell me exactly how his Darfur comments were racist. He was analyzing why democrats wanted our troops in Darfur, but not Iraq."

"Because Darfur was a country made up of black people, and Iraq isn't. Rush claimed that Democrats were trying to secure the black vote."

So if he thinks democrats are trying to secure the black vote, something you KNOW they work hard to do, that makes him a racist? As I pointed out no democrat has ever been able to explain to me why they would support military action in Darfur, but not Iraq.

"Ted, I don't consider Obama to be a racist, and I have never seen anything to challenge that."

Like spending over 20 years in a church that preaches racism? Calling a racist who hates America his spiritual mentor? How about hiring someone like Van Jones? Sure you can say none of these PROVE he's a racist, but not only are those facts, it's more than you have on Limbaugh, otherwise you wouldn't be promoting lies the way you have to convince people Rush is a racist.

Couldn't have said it better myself Rose - if we are talking about a decent true American black man for President we missed our chance with Colin Powell but as a true gentleman he gsve up the chance to be President for the love of his wife and her well being. I can't wait for 2012 and see what Hillary comes up with because the White House is still on her agenda IMO. PAM

Obama's working on a law to do just that, I'm sure. Of course, it will be what HE and his minions write and only what they write.

And even though we often disagree, this is why I listen to you. Thanks for making it so very clear!

"Racists don't give Black people a seat at the table. Some of Rush's best guest hosts are Black. The ratings for the shows with Black guest hosts don't go down."

Listen I do not know if he is racist or not and honestly I really do not care he would have to be the one to live with it. But please Ted don't use this for a defense either. This is kinda like I aint racist I work with black people, or I have black people in my family. The question is are you friends with them do you invite them over for a cookouts do you go out in public with them. There was a time when you knew who the racist were and then it calmed down and it was not acceptable and people all of a sudden became not racist " I think not" they burried those feelings and said nothing because of the consequences. Now the ugly roars out in many people since the big changes in our government, from all races.

Sorry my friend just the way that I feel. I happen to be a person that has many different friends from different cultures, I have raised my children to see only the hearts of people. I do know many people my age that tell their children if you date someone from another race I will never speak to you again. I have also seen that some of them meant it as well.

That's the incidious thing about throwing the term "racist" around as the left likes to do. They do it because the liars have set it up as an "undefendable" accusation.

The very fact that the scum has to make up lies about Limbaugh to "prove" he's racist only shows how low they are.

They will embrace their own racism, while throwing false accusations about it around.

"The question is are you friends with them do you invite them over for a cookouts do you go out in public with them."

It doesn't matter. Ted's right, it's an accusation you can't defend against. There is no more cliche defense on the planet than "I have friends who are black." I've been accused of being a racist several times on forums. One person even told me that it's obvious I've never even met a black person. I've pointed out to people that I have many black friends and actually work at a library where I am the ONLY white employee. Of course that means nothing to people who make such accusations. They pull the "you're so defensive you MUST be racist" crap. No matter what you say in response, they'll twist it to reaffirm what they want to believe.

I just had a thought...those of you who use avatars and not actual pictures of yourself....could be black for all I know. To call anyone you discuss things with online, a racist, could backfire on a forum like this...after all, the one you called racist COULD be black! Oh, the irony of it! I quit trying to defend myself against such stupidity. I KNOW what I feel and what I think....and my consious is clear on the matter of racism.

I've seen it happen before Debra where a woman was accused of being a sexist because the accuser thought she was a man. Last week a poster who is black started a thread saying Obama didn't deserve the Nobel Peace prize and xfahctor told her to change her profile pic to something ambiguous and see how many people call her a racist. I wish she'd done that because it would have been funny to watch people make fools of themselves.

For some strange reason...the human infant is indowed with the ability to group things in categories. WE ALL DO IT! But some of us have learned to broaden those categories to contain more than just physical appearance. We quit making assumptions based on appearance because we have learned from experience that it is often NOT a reliable way to categorize things.

Unfortunately, some people have been taught early on to place worth on being 'same'. If you're different...they believe you have less worth. This is also a human trait...but it too, can be overcome.

I like the saying...'when you assume, you make an azz out of U and ME.

jb...the demons are the ones making up lies, and telling people they are FACTS.
