If this is the case then we have to give a pass on Micheal Richards, he was just joking on a stage in a comedy club, your BS does now wash.

Do i really need to say why that entire paragraph actually disproves your own argument against Jamie Foxx or do you see it yourself ?

If you want to argue that it was a bad joke, thats fine, but it seems as though you are arguing that he was serious, to which you would have to apply that to all monologues and highly doubt you would.

"your BS does now wash."

also, stop assuming we all attacked Micheal Richards. Not even sure what that last line even means,

Nope, I am saying if Foxx is excused under the line of comedy than Richards has to. It again shows how some blacks get special treatment because they are black. If that was a black guy [Richards] yelling kill the honkeys you would be saying he is only joking, shows you to be a hypocrite.

I don't normally pay any attention to what Jamie Foxx is up to.

What did he say?

Lol, I don't like Limbaugh because he's a one-trick pony who isn't nearly as smart and clever as he thinks he is.

Did he fall into the boring vat when he was a kid? Because he's a real yawner as an "entertainer".

It doesnt show im a hypocrite because I never attacked richards and even if i did attack him, there is a HUGE between taking about the context of a movie where you hunt down slave owners(or whatever he does in the film, i have only seen the commercials) vs simply yelling out ****** or the n word.

Sir/ma'am you just stereotyped me (wrongly i might add) to try and make a point that still wouldnt have made sense. I think you have some underlying problem with this situation that you are holding back.

seems to me you are trying to argue hypocrisy when it comes to critics/comics rather than simply saying Jamie foxx was wrong.

You will never get your point across by deflecting from your own argument by putting words in others mouths.

Limbaugh is anything but dumb! He just says a lot of dumb things because he knows his audience will buy it, along with whatever he is marketing at the time.

I don't know what Foxx said because I pay no attention to him. I watched a clip of him a couple of years ago heckling and mocking a young comedian that was struggling on stage. It was a nasty and cruel display which made him look petty and mean spirited. I haven't been able to tolerate him ever since.

And...no. Limbaugh doesn't get to claim he's only doing entertainment, when the head of the RNC called his show to apologize for saying that he sometimes goes overboard, and CPAC declared him the Defender of the Constitution. Just like the president does not get to joke about the Special Olympics with Jay Leno.
