Hmmm. So I guess Halle Berry, Rosa Parks, Adam Clayton Powell, Sally Hemmings, Frederick Douglass, W.E.b DuBois, Ralph Bunche, Lena Horne, Booker T. Washington, Elijah McCoy, Benjamin Banneker, Langston Hughes, etc..etc..they aren’t “really” black right? LOL.

I just found your site and have been browsing.

A wise black woman (she refused to be called African American) once told me that name calling and excessive use of profanity were used by ignorant people to avoid dealing with more important issues. I think she was right.

Everyone is so busy calling me a racist for disagreeing with many of the President’s policies. I thought he was bi-racial; so the logical conclusion must be that I hate whites as well as blacks. I must hate myself as well since I am white. If his health care reform goes through, let’s hope I can get counseling because according to this logic, I’m going to need it.

Funny, noone called me a sexist when I disagreed with President Bush or John McCain. I wasn’t called a misogynist when I disagreed with some of what Sarah Palin said.

I’ve never listened to Rush, I read this blog and thought his comments were overly sarcastic. However, I can see how someone can think he was being devisive as well.

I really wish we could all get beyond name calling and have rational discussions. I want to be informed. I no longer want to take for granted the rights and freedoms that so many men and women have died for.

Man oh, man if you think that rancid, venomous, hyperbolic explosion was “satire” or “parody” or “sarcasm” you people are beyond help. There was no logic, no reason, no semblance of a connection to what the Newsweek article was about. Superficially, Limbaugh took the headline and then mounted the most horrendously dishonest attack on it - not using anything from the article itself, simply riffing off the headline, trying to make a point about a media double standard.

If you listend to the whole show, instead of taking one single section, you would understand that he DID take the time to critically attack the Newsweek piece. He spent most of that hour building up the various components of race-bating on the left that had been occurring over the past several days - the many charges of racism against Tea Party goers and other supporters, the Newsweek piece, the charges against Joe Wilson that he was a racist simply because he (inappropriately) shouted “You Lie” on the House floor. Then he brought in this story about a White kid getting beat up and the mainstream media reporting that it was not racially motivated. He was doing what Rush always says he does - illustrates absurdity by being absurd. And you are too thick and apparently not smart enough to get it.

And you fell for it. You got riled up because maybe you are a closet Kluxer. I don’t know. I do know that rational people can critique that Newsweek article without resorting to the kind of idiotic, manipulative, and ultimately self-defeating rhetoric used by Limbaugh.

Now your resorting to calling anyone who listens to Rush a Klansmen? Rick, this is a new low even for you. Just because you didn’t get what Rush said, you are doing just what you claim he did. Rather than arguing out points against what Jeff said, to call him a Klansman is disgraceful, out of line and should be called out. It speaks very poorly of you, Rick, that you resorted to this line of attack on one of your readers, and I think you owe Jeff an apology. As one who claims to be for civil discourse and logical arguments, that comment just discredited your entire argument.
