Sources: Checketts to drop Limbaugh

He can't post anything of relevance. He will just spout a great deal of nothing. And continue with the partisan liberal hackery.




whats funny, is that Obama has uttered more racist things in my opinion than rush ever has.


And sharpton and jacson? They base thier life on racism.

They do, this does not make them racist. Sharpton is a racist, Jackson is allot of things, but not racist.

People are calling Rush racist purely for his political views. I mean H Nut can't even attack Rush reasonably, he has to call him "fat" and complains about the size of his audience. Is that the best H Nut has to offer??? :lol:

That is simply not true. Here you go, from a rightie blogger:


Rush Limbaugh: I'm a Victim


(snip ... ) Limbaugh denies making two of the comments attributed to him, but blithely leaps past the many comments he has indisputably made. It’s a classic defense lawyers’ technique — get people to focus on one or two problematic points, and hope they don’t notice the mountain of evidence that is documented and proven.

(snip ... ) The team of investors dropped Rush Limbaugh for one reason and one reason only: his history of race-baiting comments had turned him from a rich asset to a rich liability. It was a business decision, nothing more, and for Limbaugh to play the victimhood card is pathetic. He made this bed for himself with years of ugly comments (anyone remember his vile smears of Michael J. Fox?) and now he has to lie in it — fleas and all.

Rush Limbaugh in His Own Words

US News | Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 3:29:37 pm PDT

As the apologists all over the right wing blogs continue to focus on one or two disputed quotes, here’s a lengthy collection of racist and/or race-baiting quotes from Saint Rush Limbaugh — all of them verified, cited and attributed:

On the Nobel Peace Prize: “I think Obama’s the second Kenyan to win.”

“We are being told that we have to hope [Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles … because his father was black.”

“I do believe” Obama is an “angry black guy.”

n Obama’s America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering.”

“Obama’s entire economic program is reparations.”

Obama is “more African in his roots than he is American” and is “behaving like an African colonial despot.”

Obama is “Halfrican-American.”

“Obama has disowned his white half … he’s decided he’s got to go all in on the black side.”

Sotomayor “a reverse racist” appointed by Obama, “the greatest living example of a reverse racist.”

Obama “wants us to have the same health care and plan that he had in Kenya” and “wants to be the black FDR.”

Latching onto LA Times op-ed, Limbaugh sings “Barack, The Magic Negro.”

“God does not have a birth certificate. Neither does Obama”; Obama “has yet to prove he’s a citizen.”

Limbaugh on Gates controversy: “Here you have a black president trying to destroy a white policeman.”

Limbaugh suggests Obama would not have acted on Somali pirates if he’d known they were “actually young, black Muslim teenagers.”

Limbaugh suggests Democrats, media believe “you can’t criticize the little black man-child.”

“The government’s been taking care of [young blacks] their whole lives.”

“The days of [minorities] not having any power are over, and they are angry.”

“[M]inorities never do anything for which they have to apologize.”

Limbaugh: “The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.”

Limbaugh says “NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips.”

Limbaugh declares basketball “the favorite sport of gangs.”

Limbaugh invented “racial component” to Hackett’s decision to withdraw from Ohio primary race.

Limbaugh on Survivor series: “African-American tribe” worst swimmers, Hispanics “will do things other people won’t do.”

Limbaugh suggested Colin Powell only supported Obama because of race.

Limbaugh: Gates is an “angry racist.”

Limbaugh called illegal immigrants an “invasive species.”

Limbaugh repeatedly calls Native Americans “Injuns.”

Limbaugh says Democrats’ interest in Darfur is securing black “voting bloc.”

Limbaugh says that if “feminazis” had remembered to oppose “affirmative action for black guys … they wouldn’t face the situation they face today.”

Why yes, it actually is. It's just not a winger blog.

No, it was at one time, but it has become a liberal blog over the past few years. I started reading this blog many years ago, so don't tell me that it is still right wing oriented.
 
“I do believe” Obama is an “angry black guy.”

Yeah, that's stinging indictment.... really racist.

Sad.

Great, now provide the context in which all of those were said. One short sentence means nothing unless you have the context in which it is said.

Taking things out of context is a common tactic of anyone trying to discredit or "prove" that someone said something in a way which is not meant to be taken as. This thread has already proved that.

btw...

How is "On the Nobel Peace Prize: “I think Obama’s the second Kenyan to win.”" even remotely racist?

#2 "He made this bed for himself with years of ugly comments (anyone remember his vile smears of Michael J. Fox?) and now he has to lie in it — fleas and all." - Little Green Footballs - Rush Limbaugh: I'm a Victim

Notice how none of the alleged racist comments are listed, not 1. Notice how all they can list is one disconnected comment about Michael J. Fox, with no details etc.

I don't listen to his show so no I don't remember. Does thsi have anything at all to do with him being called a racist? NO.

Sorry you are going to have to do WAY ****ing better than that.

None of those in or out of context are inherently racist. Insensitive is about as strong a language as you could use for any of those.

Try again.

A liberal blog? Would that be in the same way that Newt Gingrich is now a liberal (per the winger blogs) because he endorsed the GOP candidate in NY-23?


Of course he's on the right. Even the right say he's on the right, except they also say they hate him :mrgreen: :


I Win!

Blogosphere | Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 1:39:36 pm PDT

Looks like I’ve replaced Andrew Sullivan as the most hated blogger, which is quite an accomplishment. I’d like to thank the wonderful folks who voted me the sixth most despised “right wing” figure, equally as repulsive as Pat “Hitler wasn’t so bad” Buchanan, and much more disgusting than Ron Paul, Mark Sanford, or Pat Robertson: Right-Of-Center Bloggers Select Their Least Favorite People On The Right.

It will be difficult, but I’ll do my best to live up to this honor.

Little Green Footballs - I Win!!


The wingosphere does not look kindly on those on their 'team' who calls out the bullpucky.

You will have to go to the link and follow that to the source. It's a bit of work, but not that much.

#1 is wrong, of course it's a rw blog

#2 is also wrong, there is more than one list of quotes on the site. You will have to visit the site.

Nice fallacy argument. It has nothing at all to do with the fact "Little Green Footballs" is not a right wing blog, period.

Uhh, no, I don't think I'll try again. The lists of vomit-producing bile already posted here and elsewhere is more than enough for me. And apparently more than enough to get his ass-boiled, drug-addicted, hate-spewing, ass dropped from the bid. I will cry no tears for poor victim saint rushbo.
 

Already shown it is not and your argument was nothing more then misrepresented fallacy, period.

Try again.

#2 is also wrong, there is more than one list of quotes on the site. You will have to visit the site.

The article is then misrepresenting as you should not have to search the site.

So again, I am correct and you have yet to show one thing that says Rush Limbaugh is a racist.

So far you have done nothing but cut and paste disconnected quotes that are anything but racist. Then you tried a fallacy argument about the site itself involving Newt Gingrich?

:sinking:

;) Then why did the wingosphere vote him the most hated figure on the right?

In other words you got nothing.

No Problem.

And here lies the meat of your argument. :lol:

Irrelevant, much like your argument.

Has nothing to do with anything.

Could it possibly have been voted LEAST FAVORITE because it's a phoney right wing blog. It seems everyone but you already knows that.
Media observers in the past have described the site as "right wing", but since 2007 the site has dramatically changed emphasis, and is now better known for its criticism of creationists, leading conservative figures, and right-wing blogs.

You do not have to search the site, if you are reading the site. As I am prohibiited by fair use rules from copy/pasting en masse, you will just have to go read the site.

In any case, the Rush is a fear-mongering race-baiting pig side of the argument seems to have prevailed, so that's good.

I should not have to explain this again.

It is good as it shows what low brow accusations you consider debate.

Congratulations!

Most of these out of context snippits are not racist. Like Gates is an angry racist.




Obama has been imo more racist than rush,and I can put it in context.
