Shouldn't surprise anybody. Its just funny that... 1. Any black on white racism is Obama's fault, and Obama's America. 2. The fact that the police now say this wasn't racially motivated won't stop Rush from taking his shots!
Rush is afraid he's losing listenership and influence to Glen Beck, so he's ratcheting up the "Say Inflammatory Shit"-o-meter. When will people learn that all of these radio and TV pundits are just entertainers performing to people who have forgotten that they are entertainers?
Folks, this is the face and the voice of the conservative right and the majority of the republican party.
both. though i thought the buses one was more clearly sarcastic than the other. you don't see how that is sarcastic? the white kid should have gotten beaten for invading space and stuff? it happened because the black kid was racist, but him being racist against the white kid is justifiable? the lesson we learn is that the white kid isn't allowed on the bus in obama's america? none of that seems sarcastic to you?
That was from Newsweek, which published a piece on how whites are inherently racist. Newsweek was not being sarcastic, however. Have you listened to the entire segment? It's this sort of distortion and flat-out lying that has us headed into an inevitable confrontation as a country. You can only demonize non-racist people as being racists for so long before the blowback becomes a hurricane.
If he's not, then who is the voice of the conservative right and the republican party? Am I missing the one person or group of people that is actually coming out with ideas and leading the party? Like it or not, Rush is the face of the right-leaning individuals. Perception is reality.
Your (that's the collective "your" meaning most people on the left, not necessarily you in particular) perception of Rush is shaped by people who are deliberately misinterpreting what he says. I'm fully aware of the fact that this sort of thing happens in the opposite direction as well.
