Strange but true: Add to the list of Rush Limbaugh defenders stand-up comic Jimmie Walker, the one-time "Good Times" sitcom star, famous for his exclamation "Dyn-o-mite!" Walker, who writes a right-leaning opinion column for the Jewish World Review Web site, applauds Limbaugh's job-ending ESPN remarks about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. "Of course Rush's comments had nothing to do with race and everything to do with the NFL's obscene [affirmative action] policy." And he dismisses Limbaugh's drug addiction as "a single demerit in an otherwise stellar career."

Ok, that's weird.

Good, but weird.

[Sunshine Sister]

After this "scandal", Rush is just, Moving on up, to the top!

Meant to include you in that last ping.

I didn't know he was a conservative. Interesting fella.

[Skip Ripley]

I think I saw him call for the abolition of public assistance during a TV interview a few years ago.
He correctly pointed out that it did little more than breed generations of people who were wards of the State.

Well ain't this a fine kettle of fish...Rush Limbaugh surprised his radio audience by announcing he was checking himself into a drug rehab facility...Rush has to be taken to task for a certain amount of hypocrisy because if this were Howard Stern or Al Franken...Rush would’ve been all over it...yes this is a demerit in an otherwise stellar career...That being said...Rush Limbaugh hired by ESPN to help ratings and spice up the Sunday Morning NFL Show...fired for stating the facts...saying that the reason Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, Donovan McNabb, was not getting scrutinized for bad play as much as he should because the NFL has a policy of wanting Black Coaches and Quarterbacks to be successful at all cost...a noble cause on the face of it...but what Limbaugh did was expose another form of Affirmative Action...in sports!! It is a League policy that when a coaching position opens that team "must" interview a Black candidate...The Dallas Cowboys made it clear the coach they wanted was Bill Parcells...but they still had to interview a Black candidate...no Black would interview for the job because they saw the handwriting on the wall...on the other hand the Cincinnati Bengals knew when they had an opening that they wanted to hire Marvin Lewis...no racial thought in either case...but in another case when Steve Mariucci was let go by the San Francisco 49ers...the Detroit Lions knew they wanted to hire him...which they did immediately...they by-passed the Black candidate and were fined two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars by the NFL...if that's not Affirmative Action I don't know what is...What Rush was doing was reporting the facts...no racial overtones...Rush also said that the League wanted Black Quarterbacks to do well...Kordell Stewart, Black Quarterback formerly with the Pittsburgh Steelers, now with the Chicago Bears...after a few sub-par seasons the Steelers suggested that Stewart switch to either running back or wide receiver...Mr. Stewart said, "No." Not wanting to be perceived as racist...the Steelers said nothing...Stewart was eventually beaten out for the job by a White Quarterback. In a related story, Eric Crouch, a White Quarterback from the University of Nebraska and a Heisman Trophy winner was drafted into the NFL...his team asked him to be a wide receiver or defensive back...he said, "No." and never played in the NFL...opting to retire at twenty-two. Like the odor of a dead skunk, Affirmative Action has floated its way into the NFL...the Left has a double standard, if someone on the Right has something to say about race, they're a racist. On the other hand, when someone on the Left says something about race, they're standing up for the people. Of course Rush's comments had nothing to do with race and more to do with the NFL's policy. And what happened to the Right of Free Speech? Rush doesn't have it? But of course, the Liberals do. They've called Rush everything from a racist, an idiot, an imbecile, and vile. And don’t forget the book titled, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot. Imagine if someone wrote a book titled, Al Roker is a Big Fat Idiot. As Affirmative Action continues to prove a policy that no longer works...I’ve got one thing to say...Long Live El Rush-Bo... Jimmie on Rush

[Captainpaintball]

He did a talk radio show in Nebraska for a while, too.

[johnny7]

Walker also got a good one in on Michael Dukakis in 1984. Something like... “Dukakis? What's that? Some kinda' disease? Like I GOT DUKAKIS!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

[Phantom Lord]

Jimmy is a good republican who isn't afraid to speak. Probably why he hasn't had a hollywood job in 100 years. Other than Hollywood Squares.

[Phantom Lord]

Ever see Jimmy on Politically Incorrect when it was still on?

I would like to see him on Colin Quinn's "Tough Crowd" on Comedy Central.

From Jimmy's Blog...

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

" Do you wanna be a millionaire?"... if you're a minority, you're not going to do it on the show of the same name. ABC's hit game show has done it without minorities. But, this is a sign of something much bigger... the affects of affirmative action! "Millionaire", "Jeopardy", "Win Ben Stein's Money" etc. etc. are shows you have to earn your way on. That means, standardized testing, no scoring on a curve, no breaks given. We, as minorities, must compete academically. Affirmative action was very necessary at the the time, but like "the lava lamp" , "the hula hoop", and "the eight track tape" affirmative action's time has passed. Minorities should be insulted by affirmative action! We are too intelligent to be held "back" by the shackles of the afirmative action mind set. California, Florida, and Michigan have stepped to the forefront and eliminated affirmative action from their university systems. Affirmative action has served as the tricycle of education, it's time to take off the training wheels. It's trivial that minorities aren't on game shows, but it's the tip of the iceberg. America, like these game shows, want the best and the brightest . And minorities can't do that by being held to lower standards and expectations. And that's my final answer!

Black Voting

Black folks have been led, like sheep to the slaughter. For over fifty years, black people have voted in monolitic masses for the democratic party . They are taken for granted in the democratic party. Black people are political orphans. According to the census, Blacks have become the second largest minority in the United States, losing out to the Hispanic population. "Black Leadership" is rudder-less. But still, Blacks have a passionate adversity to any other political party...ostracizing anyone not in the Democractic Party. Clarence Thomas, J.C.Watts, Alan Keys are examples of this. Sure, there has been obvious progress for Blacks over the last fifty years...but much of the Black agenda's cornerstone has gone by the wayside. In the last five years, welfare reform and standardized testing (something Blacks have long been against)is now the law of the land. The end of affirmative action as we knew it is now here. It's time for Blacks to stop being led like lemmings by the Democratic Party and look for a new political "empowerment zone .

When Queen Latifah says that black people should take a week off work to kill white people, that's a "genuine display of emotion" according to these sme people who hate Rush.

[Phantom Lord]

That wasn't Queen Latifah. That was Sister Soulja. Queen Latifah has never said anything even remotely approaching such a statement. In fact, from my viewing of her, she is a fine, upstanding citizen.

If possible, get the moderator to alter your post.

Also from Jimmie: "he has secret crush Ann Coulter" ha ha (Join the club amigo!) 'obligatory' pic

[evets]

You are correct sir:
black rap singer Sister Souljah told the Washington Post -

"... if black people kill black people every day (in the ghetto), why not take a week (off) and kill white people (in their neighborhoods) too?"
