The rest... well, go see for yourself...

Maybe Slate should get that stawlart of the Democrat Party, Senator Robert "Sheets" Byrd to decry Limbaugh's "racism" and perhaps tell us whether or not Limbaugh is a white n.....

The media has been trying to pin that hood on rush for years...I won't work this time either....If you look real close at the hood, the tag says " Property of R.Byrd"...

Let them play and waste their time. It about time we see the left exhibit some humor. We still own talk radio.

The difference between Rush and the Klan is, among other things, that the ACLU always goes to court to defend the Klan's right to free speech.

If the cartoonist had actual guts instead of the usual pack journalist weasel instinct, he'd have shown the appropriate headgear for Rush - the muzzle that the rest of the so-called free press would like to put on him.

"Senator Robert "Sheets" Byrd"


...It's proper when referring to a United States Senator to put his political affiliation and state behind his name, like this :Senator Robert "Sheets" Byrd (KKK-W.Va.)

Notice that McNab is the only one with a serious helmet. I'm outraged, I tell you! That's racist! I'm ... I'm so... so... MIFFED! I think I'll kick a can or something.

"We still own talk radio." We still own the best laughs, too. Leftists make the best props!

Limbaugh's thesis about the media coddling McNabb because he is black is horsehockey. He should never have said it because it's dumb.

I've never been a hugh Rush fan. I've been supportive of his results oriented style but alway's tepid toward being a "fan".

Now what they are doing to the man on University of Wisconsin based NPR talk radio today is just sickening. They have attributed just about every possible crime against the PC crowd and every race in general. I've listened to Rush for about 15 years now for about five hours a week. I have never heard him say or do the things of which they are attributing to him today. They are a pack of diseased vermin.

Eventually I heard a caller who taught me something. What bothers them is that Rush mobilizes or motivates the right wing to vote in what they call "unfair and disproportionate numbers". What they are implying is that elections should be held based on registration data. In other words it's not possible for conservatives to elect a person to office in any state which democrats outnumber republicans. If conservatives win in such a situation it's because of "unfair voting trends".

I found this sobering. In the eyes of a liberal, any state which chooses a conservative candidate only does so because of the "Rush Limbaugh's of the world" and that their victory is "not mandated by the voters but orchestrated by Rush Limbaugh types".

No thank you.
My humor hunger ain't that bad. Let somebody else give them the hits.
