He's making an accusation, simply ask him to prove it. Show you a tape or recording. Everything leaves a record.
The libs used to deny that Al Gore ever said that he 'created the internet' until a mysterious tape appeared.
I created the Internets!
“Never argue with a fool. A listener won’t be able to tell the difference between you and he.” That’s the only quote from Rush that is real. Its also good advice.
“Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
I have no idea if this a true Rush quote, but either way, its damn accurate!
I am sick of Rush working in his paid commercials into his monolog, “Carbinite” ?? “Back up your computers!” Very annoying
Look if you are for tax cuts you are racist. No other explaination. Conservatives are by liberal definition racists. Jack Kemp was stupid when he said Capital Gain tax cuts will attract blacks to Republican party in droves. They want tax credits not tax cuts.
Wikiquote can tell you which of these quotes are sourced, unsourced and disputed. Note that many of the sources given are of leftist authors.

I doubt Rush made those comments I can’t even imagine the context of how they would be made. In particular, what gives the lie here is the last point:
“Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller)”
I will bet dollars to donuts he did not make that comment or anything close.
An article on these very same quotes (and others):

Here’s all the debunking you need. Anyone who said “You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.” on the air would have been thrown off the air. (Imus lost his job for far less) And since that quote is a flat-out lie, let the lyin’ bastids PROVE the others.
I know Rush and asked him about these supposed quotes and here is his reply on each one:
“I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.”
NEVER SAID IT
“You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
NEVER SAID IT.
“Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
Did say it on TV show, forget context?
“Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
Said it after New England San Diego playoff game in 2008
“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
Said after Spike Lee wanted all black kids out of school to watch his movie Malcolm X and learn their history
“Take that bone out of your nose and call me back (to an African American female caller)”
Totally out of context. Told story of how management at KUDL KC wanted me to be insult host....I told current audience how much I hated it....was given this line by management to use....related in in a story about how insult radio was NOT my cup of tea and how I knew I had no future doing it.
Here’s what I would do. Ask for sources and if they can’t give you any (they won’t be able to - not real ones anyway) then ask them to listen to Rush for the next 3 weeks and give detailed documentation, (date, time, exact quote) of any ‘racist’ comments he makes. This should shut them up.
To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed...”.
All you have to say, “I listen to Rush on a regular basis and I have never heard him say anything racist. You don’t listen to him, so why I take your word for what he says over the evidence I have heard with my own ears.”
I have listened to Rush since ‘93 or earlier and I never heard him say these things or anything remotely like them. They are all made up.

It’s my full post and breaks down the James Earl Ray lie.
I will have more during the week.
I did a second post on the slavery quote.
The slavery quote and the James Earl Ray quote are despicable lies.

Here is a post about those quotes with a guide showing the creation of the false quotes.
The reason chasing down Quote Truthers is important, is because they use these lies to push an agenda. It’s usually done in discussion forums to shut someone up they don’t like, but it spreads into blogs, articles, books, and even on television.

When you debate whether someone is a racist, you’re accepting their premise.
Don’t even accept the premise.
Just state - well, I see that you’re a typical leftist that can’t debate the substance of issues, so you attempt to silence or discredit the person you’re incapable of arguing with with slanderous accusations of racism.
Now, what issue would you like to logically debate?
Bumping this half year old thread due to the topical nature.
I recall seeing a collection of these fabricated quotes from a poster on FARK.com and when that poster was challenged to prove they were real, their reply was to ‘prove they weren’t’
Gotta love proving a negative.
