I suppose that's true. You need not be a racist to use people as tools or to practice race baiting. No telling with Rush if he's a racist, but he certainly uses blacks as tools and engages in race baiting.
A paying member or as smart as a Cynic.Why do you need them? The way he purposely misrepresented Newsweek's article to make it sound as if only white people can be racist is proof enough for me. The guy uses any tool he can to give the impression that white people are singled out for hatred. It's ridiculous. He's nothing but a race baiter.I never said rush was a good source for anything, you were the one using newsweek (which has shown bias over the last 4 years) as a good source.
But feel free to stay in that little bubble and assume what you will.
RAVI you got some audio clips or transcripts of rush actually being racist? Or are you crying wolf there?
He's a race baiter, yes...whether that makes him a racist or not, I couldn't say for sure...he's definitely a lying sensationalist entertainer who misrepresents situations so he can turn them into issues.
I don't keep up to date on him...I listened to him maybe 15 years ago for about a week...at the beginning of the week I thought, "Wow, this guy is cool, he's funny and informative."...by the end of the week I realized he was just a bloviating windbag.
A couple of years ago over at Hannity before I got banned from there, I got into it with the ditto-heads...so I put together a thread about how he lied regarding the accounting of a story on PBS regarding Salmon Pak in Iraq...at that time I could access his transcripts...more recently when I tried to reconstruct the thread on another board I found that you have to be a member of his site to access the info...anyway, back then I started that thread...I quoted the actual interview from PBS and then took what Rush had to say about the quotes...he misrepresented it so blatantly, it was pathetic...he fucking lied.
Guess how many responses that thread got from the Limburger lovers...
NOT ONE
Every time someone would mention how wonderful Rush is, I'd link to that thread and not one would come and try and defend him...they just shut the fuck up and wandered on as if nothing ever happened.

By his OWN description of what makes someone a racist, he's a racist.I suppose that's true. You need not be a racist to use people as tools or to practice race baiting. No telling with Rush if he's a racist, but he certainly uses blacks as tools and engages in race baiting.
Raw Story » Limbaugh: We need segregated busesI think the guys wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, thats the lesson were being taught here today. Kid shouldnt have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses it was invading space and stuff. This is Obamas America.

There is a trick to accessing most, but not all transcripts on his pay side. Google has most of his web pages CACHED. Put the quote in "quotation marks" and google. At the bottom of the link google finds, click on the "cached" link and then QUICKLY stop the linked page from loading. Then look in the upper right hand corner area for the "text only" link and click on it. That will give you the cached page absolutely for free.
Did the Newsweek article actually say this:
Oh, white children are born racist, not all, not we, white kids are born racist. And by six months, I mean they're able to distinguish black from white and yellow and brown and they know to hate everybody. And parents are at a stand still, don't know what to do about it. It's a Newsweek story!
Thanks ravi (for the link not the insult
Where is he being racist? I don't see that, I see him talking about race/racism/race baiting/race lying a lot but I don't see him actually making any racist statements.
I see him quoting other people calling him racist.
Help me out Ravi, I'm trying to be open about this here.....
Why do you need them? The way he purposely misrepresented Newsweek's article to make it sound as if only white people can be racist is proof enough for me.

Now i read the transcript and read the Newsweek article Even Babies Discriminate: A NurtureShock Excerpt. | Newsweek Life | Newsweek.com. Yes Rush exaggerated but he did so on purpose to call attention to what HE SEES "as the media trying to distract from obama's failures"
He explains himself right here from your link.
rush said:You know, now, that last voice was Kate Snow, and she actually called the office yesterday. She called H.R., and H.R., chief of staff, said, "You're missing the point. This was cynicism. This was sarcasm." And what it was really about, what they've all left off of this -- and I don't think they even know, I think they get whatever news sources, Media Matters, the slime pit, or maybe the Huffington Puffington Post, whatever it is. But remember, folks, what drove all this yesterday, this was hilarious, was Newsweek, Newsweek magazine saying that we're born racist. We're born racist. Oh, white children are born racist, not all, not we, white kids are born racist. And by six months, I mean they're able to distinguish black from white and yellow and brown and they know to hate everybody. And parents are at a stand still, don't know what to do about it. It's a Newsweek story!
When I read the Newsweek article then read Rush's comments your claim of him being racist loses a lot of validity.
Do you have some transcripts of rush actually being racist?
Now wait just a minute there Slick!!!Did the Newsweek article actually say this:
Oh, white children are born racist, not all, not we, white kids are born racist. And by six months, I mean they're able to distinguish black from white and yellow and brown and they know to hate everybody. And parents are at a stand still, don't know what to do about it. It's a Newsweek story!
Not in those exact words, they didn't classify the children as "being white" Newsweek just classified them as children. Hence the satire part.
Do you consider him trying to pull out their(newsweeks) intention through satire as racist? If yes then we shall agree to disagree as I dont see this as racist, even with the content being racial.
I think Obama is a race baiter, too. Where does that leave us, Babble?I don't see it as satire. Even if I did, it would still be race-baiting. He is using the Newsweek article incorrectly to make a false point.
Bullshit he is. He calls Obama racist, so you of course see that as him being racist.
Brilliant, Ravi.
It leaves you with another misleading thread title.
I don't see it as satire. Even if I did, it would still be race-baiting. He is using the Newsweek article incorrectly to make a false point.
Oh stop being so fucking reasonable you namby-pamby moron.I don't see it as satire. Even if I did, it would still be race-baiting. He is using the Newsweek article incorrectly to make a false point.
Our opinions are different, but since they are opinions I wont bug you about your's anymore.
I think he is using the article and satire of the article very effectively to draw attention to the inherent bias in the story. You don't think so, I accept that you have a different opinion than me.
