get over it and grow a little thicker skin.

[coaltrain]

Rush should reply “So sorry”

[Sir_Humphrey]

Absolutely...I thought the bit was hilarious! Funny, when SNL does the same thing I didn't hear any complaints.

[dennisw]

Rush should say “So solly”

[wolfpat]

Is Chinese Sen. Lee’s first language? If not, this is irrelevant.

[ladyvet]

Yeah, right after SNL apologizes.....jeez, these people never quit.

[rarestia]

Ya know... I wonder if these lawmakers are sending scathing letters or demanding apologies from movie makers, commercial producers, television execs, book and magazine publishers, etc. every time they make some tongue-in-cheek comment about race X.

Yet we never hear Haley Barbour or Mike Huckabee up there demanding apologies when some northern or western person calls us redneck or mimics our accent. I’m about done with all of this PC garbage.

GET OVER YOURSELVES!

[MNGal]

I think their demands for an apology from Rush would be legitimate if they were as outraged when similar events are carried out by Hollywood, comedians, and others from the liberal elite. Since they demand none from the others, their outrage in this case seems hypocritical.

Hu represents the Chinese people?

[Obadiah]

This is nothing more than a naked effort by Liberals to try and bully and intimidate speech and people they don’t agree with.

This is the same thing as those tolerant college liberals shouting down speakers they don’t agree with.

[Newton]

duck sauce, soy sauce? FI TWENTY NINE!! You have penny?

(three guesses where that came from..... :-)

[org.whodat]

Tee yang do do wee Wang. Go eat a cat are something.

[youngidiot]

I’m sick of the professionally offended. Get over yourselves.

[Obadiah]

Hu does!

Who?

Yes, Hu.

But who represents China?

I told you, Hu?

Right! Who??

Correct. Hu.

Arrgh.

Read the whole piece on this “nutcase” California Democrat buffoon!!! A waste of time!!! The poor soul needs pity, not attention!!! Rush did nothing wrong!!! This politically correct nonsense is disgusting!!!

[Eagle of Liberty]

Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, is leading a fight in demanding an apology from the radio talk show host for what he and others view as racist and derogatory remarks against the Chinese people.

Please join me FReepers in raffing at Rerand Yee's request.

I was watching “Match Game ‘74” the other day on the game show network with Gene Rayburn, Brett Somers etc. Gene and Brett went into 2 minute back and forth just slaying the Chinese accent. I demand an apology from Gene Rayburn! Brett’s deceased, so a family member apology will do!

[Joe Boucher]

Hey Rush,
Tell em to GET BENT.
