I think that kind of thing is appropriate, its what we do best. But why should we feel obligated to shoulder more of a load here than anyone else? Do you know that Hugo Chavez is accusing us of occupying Haiti now?

Oh look - Obama is invading Haiti now.

Doesn't most every argument against invading Iraq apply to Haiti as well?

If the one statement that you think Snopes has found that may actually be called "racist" by serious people happened... then Rush should not apologize. Why? Because when you call into an "insult radio" radio program you should expect to be insulted. Duh! Its a lot like D/s, its consensual humiliation and there should be no need for Rush to apologize, though according your own source claims that he admitted feeling guilt over it.

So like you said with Harry Reid, you have to forgive him because he's sorry, and thats the best anyone can do.


Claim: Snopes.com Is Unfairly Attacking Rush Limbaugh Status: True

Snopes: Certainly the most notorious racial remark attributed to Limbaugh is his telling a black caller on his radio talk show to "Take that bone out of your nose and call me again"...........

..........Snopes: (This incident occurred not on Rush Limbaugh's now-familiar talk and political commentary radio program, but at the beginning

of his broadcast career back in the early 1970s when he was hosting a Top 40 music show under the name "Jeff Christie" on either WIXZ or KQV in Pittsburgh.)

Already Snopes is admitting in a way that "Rush Limbaugh" didn't say this, but rather Rush Limbaugh, playing the role of "Jeff Christie" on the radio back in the 70's, said this. Radio, like the movies, is show business, right? So why are radio DJ's held to a different standard than movie actors and actresses? If Sean Penn were to say something equally outrageous while playing a character in a movie, should we then attribute all those lines to "Sean Penn"? But the most damning evidence against Snopes is contained in the Newsday article itself.

Newsday: Recalling a stint as an "insult-radio" DJ in Pittsburgh, he admits feeling guilty about, for example, telling a black listener he could not understand to "take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

We are invading Haiti, there's no denying that - but still, not the way Hugo Chavez is spinning it. Its a war zone there and right or wrong, we're literally going in and seizing control. Spin it however you like, but it is what it is.

I regret that I shall be leaving CM due to laws in my country that forbid fraternising with the enemy in a time of war. My defence to this point is that I had no idea we were at war since 1942 when the US invaded the UK.

Nevertheless I wish you all well and hope that this unpleasantry can be put behind us. I am now going out to seize back control of a number of airfields where the occupying forces are stationed I believe.

God save the Queen, or some such!

Ohhhhhhhhhh!

Now I understand!

Rush didn't really say this because he was using a pseudonym.

He really wasn't Rush at the time, he was just acting because the real Rush is a noble, upstanding individual who would never say something like that.

Far more noble and upstanding than, say, Barack Obama who only stopped attending his racist congregation with his wife and young daughters last year because it was a political liability for him.

Or Harry Reid and Bill Clinton, whose racist statements were spoken just last year as well.

While Rush Limbaugh's only somewhat kinda sorta verified racist statement was when? In the early 1970's?

So, what would you have us do?  Sit back and watch them die?  No one can move massive amounts of food, water and medical aid to any point in the world faster than the US Military.  I hate to burst your bubble, but they don't just blow things up and kill people, they help save lives all over the world.  Please stop taking whatever drugs you have been and seek professional help for your delusions.

You hate the United States for helping the tortured and mass-murdered minorities of Iraq or the South Vietnamese and Cambodians who ended up being enslaved and mass murdered by the communists, so if we say fuck it, and quit helping you cry because we don't go rushing in whenever there's another crisis somewhere.

There is no pleasing you, is there?

Cuckoo land is the space between your ears...
