Rush Limbaugh-"Steinbrenner-That Cracker Made a lot of African American Millionaires"

[danielan]

Any of you snuson members with money

You should have mentioned this before we spent all of our money on snus...

Rush was great for a moment in time as was Olbermann but when they stop telling the truth or subdue it they are meaningless.

Joe, did someone pee in your ethnic cheerios this week? Ive noticed a definite focus on race lately, but maybe thats because olbermann likes to use the race card on slow news days.

We get it, rush is the archie bunker of radio and is overtly racist at times, as is his right. I don't see why you guys listen to him if you don't like hearing what he has to say, it seems an exercise in futility. While the world is burning, olbermann and msnbc are dedicating all of their news coverage to smearing fox and other republican pundits or bringing us breaking news on whether or not Lindsey Lohan started using coke again. I mean really, why does Olbermann care what Rush Limbaugh is doing, is Rush an elected public figure? I don't get all the bickering between pundits, maybe that shit would fly on a slow news day, but right now theres enough real breaking news on oil spills, economic collapse, 2 wars etc that should be getting the attention right now.

Remember Rush is the leader of the Republican party. No Republican will repudiate
anything he says, including Michael Steele. Chris Matthews has had an ongoing
invitation to any Republican to come on Hardball and say Rush in not their leader.
None have come forward.

Whatever you want to tell yourself buddy.
Stem cell research is important.

I agree that stem cell research is important, that was not the point of my post.

I think your confusing republicans with republican elected representatives. There has been a big gap between them for a long time. I was a republican for most of my life untill recently when i realized how deceptive and flip-floppy they are, and I always took Rush with a grain of salt. I know many republicans that choose not to listen to him. As far as public figures or elected officials, than yes they all bend to his will. This is because he commands such an unprecedented amount of viewers and support. If he tells his viewers to do something such as call a congressman, the phone lines for that congressman will melt due to the volume of calls. This is why they rally around him.


The left has similar figures but none that are as influential as Rush. I personally think he's got the party blinders on and therefore is not of any value to me. He will overlook an obviouse truth in favor of supporting the party every time. We don't need good germans, we need good people representing us.

I know. The point was to...bash the other side.
You seem to indicate that you would rather see the left look bad, then to support a cause with them. Even if the cause is indeed important.
That attitude only hurts the country more IMO.
What is wrong with agreement between parties? seems like a logical way to improve things.

My point was to set the record straight about Rush's supposed bashing of Michael J. Fox. I was not attempting to make the other side look bad, they do a good enough job of that themselves. And while stem cell research is important, that is not to say that public funding for embryonic stem cell research is a good thing.

And another thing - after eight years of non stop bashing from the left, most of it not justified or supported by fact, I find it hilarious that the left gets so upset when it happens to them. Difference this time is that most of it is justified and supported by fact.

Youre half right, they are both idiots. LOL I find myself being put off by one extreme or the other. Rush completely lost me when he gave Micheal J. Fox shit for his Parkinson's.

This is a good example of the misunderstanding or misrepresentation that is esential to a hate Rush sound bite.

Rush took issue with Fox's support for fetal cell research and those who took advantage of Fox to misrepresent facts in pursuit of increasing public support for fetal stem cell research. Bottom line is fetal stem cell research has had numerous failures and has failed to provide a single success, yet is pushed by abortion supporters to justify their primary concern, abortion.

Rush remains relevant. Olbermann has never been and will never be. He is not in the same class as Rush, not even the same school district. Rush has the most listened to radio show in the country. This three hour, five day a week time slot is largely filled with indepth discussion of sometimes complex issues. The dumb, ignorant, uneducated and logically challenged cannot survive this format. Olbermann hosts a tv show, utilizing sound bites and imagery to entertain and parrot DNC talking points, for an extremely small tv audience.

Joe, turn off the tv

Rush is a man with a microphone. He does not lead or represent the Republican party, unfortunately, Michael Steel does. Rush espouses and represents conservatism and does a fine job as evidenced by the largest radio audience in the country. Matthews is a DNC/Obama sycophant and has no credibility with any thinking American. I don't know why anyone with any intelligence would go on his show, especially a "Republican" to be used by Matthews, to repudiate a brilliant conservative and, as Matthews hopes, foment a rift between conservatives and the Republican party.
