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.
Thank you. I thought so.
