Re: Rush isn't really a racist douchebag, really!

I suspect their reply will be that using bigoted language does not make someone a racist. They have very specific definition of racist - which changes to whatever they want it to mean whenever they want to defend one of their ...erracists. On Wed, Aug 17, 2011 at 10:44 PM, Judah McAuley wro

Rush isn't really a racist douchebag, really!

I recall folks on this list who have repeatedly jumped to Rush Limbaugh's defense, claiming that there is no evidence that he is actually a racist. A virulent, homophobic, lying, pill popping, mysogonystic sack of shit, sure, but not racist! Well, Rush has dubbed a new type of Oreo the "Or-Bam-Eo

Rush totally isn't racist, remember?

I recall, quite well, people on this list saying that, no, Rush Limbaugh isn't a racist, he's just an virulently opinionated money grubbing pill popping asshole. So, uh, how about defending his new statement dubbing the new type of Oreo the "Or-bam-eo"? ~~
