The only time I really listened to Rush was when he had that gig at ESPN. I was watching the show ( I think it was Monday Night Countdown) when got up on his hind legs and said that the only reason Donovan McNabb had a job was because he was black. The other announcers were so stunned they didn't even really respond, they were just looking at him. It was a serious "WTF??" moment. He was fired the next day.
Chuck Norris shakes two tylenol from the bottle, every time.
Rush subscribes to the "Jimmy The Greek" theory, and isn't smart enough to know when to shut that big mouth of his. His racism was the main reason the NFL wouldn't let him buy a team. Smart move on their part. I can see it now, an all-white team called the "Tampa Aryans". They'd be 0 and 16 every year.Originally Posted by Jones

if he is such a racist then why are the guys who work with him on his radio show black ?

Probably blackface. One would assume he added them after the accusations to "prove" he's not a racist. If there are black guys working on his show, they are undoubtedly Uncles named Tom.
"Same Job, Different Trucks"
no, they have worked with him for years.

Then they must be Uncle Tom's or Uncle Clarence's. No self-respecting African-American would work for a racist like Limbaugh.

re: Rush & racism:
Responding to a news report that a majority of young Blacks feel alienated from the government, Limbaugh said on Feb. 1, 2007: “Why would that be? The government’s been taking care of them their whole lives."
On Jan. 19, 2007 the talk show host said: “Let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There I said it.”
On June 4, Limbaugh said of President Obama, "He’s angry; he’s going to cut the country down to size. He’s going to make it pay for all the multicultural mistakes that it has made—its mistreatment of minorities. I know exactly what’s going on here.”
Limbaugh admitted to Richard Gehr of Newsday [Oct. 8, 1990] that as a DJ in Pittsburgh during the 1970s, he told a Black caller, “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”
On his defunct TV show, he reacted to Spike Lee urging Black schoolchildren to take off from school to see his film “Malcolm X.” Limbaugh said on Oct. 29, 1992: “Spike, if you’re going to do that, let’s complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out.”
Reacting to a report of Black students assaulting a White student on a bus, Limbaugh said on Sept. 15: “In Obama’s America, the White kids now get beat up with the Black kids cheering, ‘Right on, right on, right on.’”
Newsday reported on Oct. 8, 1990 that Limbaugh said, “Have you noticed how all newspaper composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
Limbaugh praised Sen. Strom Thurmond, who ran for president in 1948 on a segregationist platform. On his TV show aired Sept. 1, 1993, Limbaugh said of Thurmond, “He’s not encumbered by being politically correct…If you want to know what America used to be—and a lot of people wish it still were—then you’d listen to Strom Thurmond.”
As is often the case, Limbaugh even sees “reverse racism” where none exists. During the 2006 Democratic primaries in Ohio, he commented on Paul Hackett’s decision to withdraw from the contest for state Senate against state Rep. Sherrod Brown. Limbaugh said, “And don’t forget, Sherrod Brown is Black. There’s a racial component here, too.” What Limbaugh forgot—or did not know—was that Sherrod Brown is White. If there was a racial component, he made it up.

These are MY opinions. Others are available.
Limbaugh hails from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, a small Mid-South town where he was seemingly raised with Klan values and a distaste for Black people. His hatred of Obama really sounds deeper than just political differences. His "Mmmmm,Mmmmm, Mmmmm" line is probably from the old Aunt Jemimah commercials, but that would be hard to prove. My opinion is that it is a racial dig and that he's an obvious racist.re: Rush & racism:

No wonder the NFL Players Association (70% Black) pitched a fit when they heard he was a potential owner of the Rams.
"Same Job, Different Trucks"
my, my what a fine little glee club the two of you make.
according to both of you, Rush is a bigot scum because of his rural upbringing.
I find it shameless that MrFedx has quoted himself as calling many here as stupid dumb bricks because of their views, while in fact it is he who should be looking into a mirror.

The South isn't exactly known for producing egalitarians. Numerous remarks by Limbaugh indicate that he is a racist. Recently, he mocked the visiting leader of China replete with a "Chinese" accent. Tasteful, and very mature. At least he's an equal opportunity racist. Bricks believe what Limbaugh says...I just listen to him and marvel at how many suckers buy it.
