SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Rush Limbaugh's imitation of the Chinese language during a recent speech made by Chinese President Hu Jintao has stirred a backlash among Asian-American lawmakers in California and nationally.

California state Sen. 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.

...just another feeble attempt to marginalize their biggest perceived threat, over a non-issue. It's a sign of sheer desperation and hysteria. No apology required, none given!

jus shows the real purpose is to control free speech.

Do not make fun of our current overlords (Zero); Do not make fun of our future overlords; The Chicoms.

Another media manufactured controversy!

Rush should say “I’ll apologize when obama apoligizes for being a Kenyan.

[iowamark]

I think that Aaron Tippin wrote the reply for Rush.

The Chinese can KMA. They are not our masters. We are not their slaves. We have 1st Amendment. The Chicoms don’t.

That's pretty much it. Just about every East Asian Democrat politician in this country has a divided loyalty ~ one is to the Communist Party and the other is to some other East Asian criminal conspiracy.

Bill Clinton tapped into this problem and raised a substantial amount of campaign funds.

Leland Yee is the Asian Al Sharpton

Oh...it’s Leelan Yee again...a rebel without a cause...and “velly, velly” stupid.

Piss on 'em, if they can't take humor. Political Correctness to protect weak-kneed syncophants is bullshit.

For those of us old enough to remember, ethnic humor was some of the BEST joking we grew up with, and we survived (without the ACLU and the alphabet racist groups jumping in to protect those who were "offended")

[Brilliant]

My advice to them: Get a life.

I think the clash between the Chinese language and the English language is something that needs to be addressed, a serious issue. Instead the feely needy retards of our society will keep scape goating Limbaugh and others who make mention of it in humorous ways - and good hearted given that Hu is a liar and a monster who probably deserves worse rebuke in terms of butchering his own language.

Just the usual left-wing Democrat desperation trying to call anyone to the right of Fidel Castro 'racist'. They'll use any excuse. This gets them a little exposure in the the leftmedia and throws a bone to their liberal supporters. 'Progressives' hate the indestructible Rush Limbaugh and, in their fetid little political bubble, they delude themselves that everyone else does too so calling Rush 'racist' is a cheap, easy shot, sans substance. They are badly mistaken - but that never stopped a liberal from doing or saying anything.

In ancient times the radio host who Limbaugh replaced was run off the air..

"In 1984, at (Sacramento) KFBK radio, Downey used the word 'Chinaman' while telling a joke. ... Downey refused to apologize and was forced to resign." The rest is history. (Quote is from wiki graffiti, a.k.a. wikipedia. So the source likely trashes both Downey and Limbaugh. I remember it happening, I did not read the source.)

Minority liberals are the worst kind.. they can rant and rave inanities and top it off by screaming "Racist!"

These stories always get published by the nation’s largest news outlets. Meanwhile, the vile, spiteful leftist comments are left to drift through the conservative blogosphere and are entirely ignored by the nation’s largest media outlets.

It’s all the same. Just another weakling who chooses to be offended and accepts a double standards whereby it’s okay to make fun of others, so long as it’s the “right” others.

And yes, it’s a choice to be offended—one worthy of being condemned.

[GoCards]

He ought to do his whole show in Chinese on Monday.

[JaguarXKE]

Well, heck, lets just offend everyone! /s

No apology necessary as comedians poke fun of different languages and foreigners every day, in monologues, in movies, in skits, in sketches, in sitcoms, on TV.
