It's funny seeing Americans criticize the Chinese on their human rights record. Do you guys even look at the stuff you are pulling? At least the Chinese aren't bombing random countries in illegal wars.

I don't understand why this stuff is ok with you, but some people are immune to the suffering of others.

God, I hate Limbaugh and his show, but his impression of Chinese talk was hilarious and right on the money! I laughed and cringed at the same time, just like I do when I hear Chinese talk in public.

Isn't it time to stop with this childish s*** already? From everybody?

We have a radio talk show host making fun of the people of a nation that we are in debt up to our ears in & people want to talk about human rights violations? Come on now, how long has this been going on & how long has the US had relationships with those who make their people suffer?

No, the suffering under this man is not right but, lets not be hypocrites about it & to make fun of their people & the way they speak is something I expect of a 3yr old, not an adult.

Agreed, and very good point, but what does that have to do with criticizing the Chinese? Because the US does it also, we can't criticize the Chinese for doing as well? Are these behaviours mutually exlusive? When we criticize the Chinese, we don't then have to criticize the US in the same sentence every time.

Because the John Dillinger was a bad guy, we can't point out that AL Capone was one too without having to do it in the same sentence everytime? Absurd.

I haven't heard him...btw, if you don't listen to him, how do you know he is making fun of the dialect?

Are some people saying, people like the late night comics don't use foreign dialects when they do their routines? What kind of speech police are we beomming in this country.

i just dont tow the company line and think for myself when someone does something stupid, and not automatically defend them like those on the right do here.

again, this isn't about hu. this is about rush insulting the chinese by mocking the chinese language.

we all know hu is a dictator and we all know what's going on there is wrong. but when you stoop to rush's level, then you deserve to be called out.

Please How far are you speech police going to take this absurd line. The late night entertainers , Hollywood types in comic movies, and other comics do it so lighten up.

Harry Reid's calling Hu a Dictator was more of an insult. Who called him out on that one?

The Chinese people aren't even allowed to hear their own dictator speak in the USA, but they're listening to Rush Limbaugh??

I thought you said you hated ignorant people?

What's an "illegal war"?

You mean the one where the UN and NATO are involved with us in Afghanistan?

Or the one were the USA resumed hostilities after Saddam repeatedly broke the CEASE-FIRE agreement at the end of a UN sanctioned war?
