Surprising Truthful analysis of what Rush said and the facts that verify it.

A White person cannot say anything about a minority.

The reverse is not true.

Race is a huge worldwide industry.

If you follow the link to the article, there's a poll to freep. Should Rush have said it, or not, is basically the question. Rush is winning the poll.

"It's easier for most Latin guys and it's easier for most minority people because most of us come from heat. You don't find too many brothers in New Hampshire and Maine and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Right?"

"We were brought over here for the heat, right? Isn't that history? Weren't we brought over because we could take the heat?"

"Your skin color is more conducive to heat than it is to the lighter-skinned people. I don't see brothers running around burnt. "That's a fact. I'm not making this up. I'm not seeing some brothers walking around with some white stuff on their ears and noses."

Wow that was MSNBC posting a SLATE article! That's tantamount to a slate writer going into detail about why President Bush was right to go to war with Iraq. THINGS LIKE THIS SIMPLY DO NOT HAPPEN!

Non liberals are not allowed to expression their opinion about race in this country even if it has nothing to do with overt racism.

It's going to be fun watching the Eagles again. Let's see if the million dollar victim can prove Rush wrong.

The best way to support Rush is to attack the NFL. If I knew a lawyer who would do it I would start an affirmative action lawsuit against the NFL for not having enough White males on the teams.

Limbaugh lost his job for saying in public what many football fans and analysts have been saying privately for the past couple of seasons.

Bingo!

My first post since 2000.

1) I think tomorrow will be the highest rated Rush show ever.

2) I think he resigned the ESPN gig more because he had a heads up about his legal situation than because of the McNabb controversy.

3) The FreeRepublic server will be busy around noon EST .

The worm on this one is turning rather quickly, because this is sports, sports are stats, and stats don't lie.

In other news, Phoenix is expecting a freeze tonight and Southwest Airlines will be switching to hog-powered jets after discovering a species of flying pig.

I should have more aptly said stats don't spin.

Yup...excellent analysis: he's right, Rush is right and the fact's speak for themselves. Only one problem: he never should have said it. Appropriate comment for the EIB but not ESPN. He blew it and he let himself and all conservatives down. I still think he's the best and brilliant and all that, but this was out of line.

Maybe the pressure of the imminent oxycodone story pushed him to act out.
