I'm sorry, I don't have my 30 volume set of racial slurs.

If anything it sounded like a slang gynecological term.

You know, that's a good point - I was castigated by the same lefty clown about quoting Rep. John Lewis' "dey comin' fo yo' children" spiel as making fun of his "speech impediment" whereas I believed he was "campaign shoutin' like a Southern diplomat" to borrow Chuck Berry's line.

No I don't - here's the argument on another website that started it:

My nom de guerre is a little different then the one I use here.

LOL, Howard Stern trying to weigh a moral issue... now that's an insult. Despite what Howard says, when you're doing radio you're sometimes thinking two three or five moves ahead, trying to keep things flowing. So Rush accidently said Nager instead of Nagen. Ho hum...

This is less than nothing. It's pegged at the bottom of the scale on the racism launch-o-meter.

Too many brain dead liberals with too much time on their hands out there... Perhaps if we quit working or God forbid got a public job or went on welfare we'd have more time to address these life-altering incidents.

Yeah, it's so typical of the Left to beat up on the handicapped every chance they get.

I guess the libs are SERIOUSLY worried about the Republican outreach to blacks. (Might I point out that they are doing it themselves by pushing gay marriage, something that offends many blacks, especially when the "civil rights" mantra is used.) Anyway, the push is on to paint Republicans as racists once again. It's everywhere.

Since Rush can't hear very well, didn't he say he was having trouble hearing and if he can't hear himself it would effect his pronunciation and caught himself . He can defend himself. I wouldnt worry about it . Naggar oops I mean Nagin has said some pretty choice words to the President and has been excused. Of course only they can make mistakes.

I almost have to wonder if it is intentional on the part of the listener. "Nager" is not a slur. Maybe Stern and other losers of his ilk heard a word that was already on the tip of their tongues?

Well, it was close enough for them. That's for certain.

I don't use the "N" word and I don't think Rush does either.

As you alluded, perhaps THEY do.

There is something else to think about as well. Rush is Deaf. He hears with implants and uses transcription to help him understand his callers.

Its really amazing how well he does that people completely forget that he is "technically" disabled. You wouldn't know it by listening.

He doesn't make a big deal of it, except to apologies when it gets in the way of his performance. He is very very professional. And, anyone going after him for pronunciation is at best an idiot, at worst, they are insensitive louts. Yea that fits. Howard Stern makes fun of the hearing impaired. Now, who is doing the slurs?

I think was reading and its a screwed up name to pronounce.

Nay-gan
Nay-gin
Nay-jin
Nag-in
Na-Gin.... I think he wasn't sure which way to pronounce it.

Take it with a grain of salt, maybe 2... Between Stern's staff and his listners/frequent callers, there are several very talented voice inpersonators.

Probably any clip of Gov. Arnold S. is an impersonation - there was a "Blow-Up the Moon" clip last Spring that got picked up by several news outlets who should have looked into it more before airing... http://www.marksfriggin.com/news.htm (Only current week shows - Scroll to bottom of page and look up Archives by dates...) * ''Governor Schwarzenegger'' Bit Causes Controversy. 05/02/05 * Phony Schwarzenegger Controversy Discussed. 05/04/05

Some clips of Letterman may be fake. Stern and Letterman are friends, frequently appearing on each other's shows, but Howard also has a good impersonator of Dave too...
