Ask any African-American you care to, even a conservative one, and I bet the answer you get back is "yes"
Then we must start qualifying our epithets then. Since we know that Rush likes and supports black conservatives, then we should call him a liberal black hater. Because Sobran admits his respect for orthodox Jews, then we might want to call him an anti-liberal-semite.
This thread has been an eye-opener. It might be indicative of how much secular liberal thinking has entered into the conservative movement.
You have the PC crowd protecting an entrenched idea. To pose questions or to even be critical of the idea is to draw cries of racist. Then we see a bit of Freudian analysis about the man's childhood and his relationship with a former boss, question his rationality by comparing him to a drug addict, even criticism of his appearance. Complete character assassination.
It's not difficult, by the reaction to him, to assume that he is striking a nerve here. There is an element that appears to want to censor him by completely discrediting him. The odd thing is that he is one of the most articulate defenders of our constitution. He is spot on in his critiques of the culture of death, the gay agenda, and the bankruptcy of liberalism, yet he is reviled by conservatives. It makes me wonder if there is not something true about neoconservatives not being conservative at all.
If given a choice between a candidate who said he'd outlaw abortion, stop all illegal immigration, actually eliminate the Dept. of Education, increase military spending, cut taxes with out increasing spending, reduce spending on all govt. programs, and end all aid to Israel and a choice of, say, Bill Clinton, who would double aid to Israel....well, one should wonder who the conservatives on this forum would choose.
