I personally don't like pastors bringing up politics at all. I gave up on one bible study already because I got tired of the pastor's continuous political commantary. It's too bad, because I liked his style otherwise.

Yup, and what's hysterical about this is the fact that the same capitalism that Rush holds so dear to his heart, is the very thing that is keeping him from owning the Rams. The NFL's bottom line is profit, profit, profit and they don't want someone as divisive as Rush jeapordizing that profit, profit, profit. This is irony at its finest. Screw him.

I'm not a Rush listener, he's just another blowhard like so many others on both sides. However these days, if you aren't with Obama, you're a racist.
Two (snap) two (snap snap) two dumb statements in one...once again, for the benefit of the previously unenlightened---everyone who supports the President is NOT:

A) a leftist
B) a radical
C) a leftist radical
D) a leftist-racist-radical
E) a poopiehead

There must not be any more room at the playground, because now they're starting to find other places to whine when things aren't done their way...

And finally, I can't say whether Rush is a racist---that's not my call...but what he IS to these eyes, is a loud-mouthed, fear-mongering, annoying gasbag, who stoops to calling names and playing on people's fear when (once again) stuff doesn't go his way

I have been a faithful Rush Limbaugh radio show listener for almost 20 years. I have never heard Rush make one racist comment. As a matter of fact, I am a black man who has been inspired and encouraged by Rush on numerous occasions. Rush is part of a partnership bidding to purchase an NFL football team. I am highly offended watching the liberal media's all out assault on this great American. In their efforts to block Rush from ownership of a team, the liberal media and the Left are attempting to brand Rush as a racist.

Limbaugh is obviously a racist...check out some of his bigoted remarks: Limbaugh's "color-blind" history of racially charged comments | Media Matters for America

For those that listen to him, defend him, and find his racially insensitive comments funny.....they know what they are in their heart.

lol
I'm sure his listeners don't listen to him exclusively for his views on race. Well maybe they do....but I doubt it. I also doubt that Rush talks about race hours after hour. I could be wrong.

Okay so what is your answer for the black people that listen to Rush, don't hate being black, but are consertive Republicans?
