what did you think about the edits to the transcript, shorebaby?
>sigh< I don't think you are getting the point. No one cares about Rush, they do however care about unemployment, healthcare, national debt, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Pronouncements by entertainers don't particularly excite.
I don't get this. Are you saying that Obama talks funny? I never noticed, You'll have to explain this.

It's about the transcription at Rush Limbaugh's site of a speech by Obama to the NAACP.
This sentence --
"That's not a reason to give up on your education and drop out of school"
-- is transcribed as
"That's not a reason to give up on y'education and drop out of school".
"Latinos" is transcribed as "La-ti-nos".
Not racist, but - in the speech Obama says "our gay brothers and sisters"; this is transcribed as "our gay dead brothers and sisters".
the link is in the OP; Rush also calls the NAACP the "NAALCP". All these right wingers posting in this thread seem well aware of this editing over there but it was news to me.
loozy, can you explain why making a contraction of the word "your" to "y'" constitutes 'sly racism'? after all, that is the way obama says it when he speaks to a black audience. haven't you noticed?
also, kindly explain the hideous, insidious 'racism' inherent in drawing out the word 'latinos' to la-ti-nos.
thanks in advance..
Inquiring minds want to know. I had the same question. I saw no racism in either of those sentences.
What I did see was delusional race baiting by the original poster.
What a shame....Obamacrats just continue to hurt their cause. More and more people are turning a deaf ear to Obama and his followers.
More Americans lose their jobs , Face losing their home and question how they will provide for their family but you are more concerned about Rush and what he says.
three pages of the OP wildly deflecting why it's so horrifically, blatantly 'racist' for anyone to say the phrase 'your education' the same way obama does when speaking to a black audience.
? It IS racist! It isnt a matter of "says something in a manner some doesnt like or approve". Your statement makes no sense.
I had never seen this before. It was news to me, maybe not to you.
Don't ignore it if you really find racism, but manufacturing faux outrage over the inflection of Limbaugh's voice as he says the word "Latinos" and inserting your own nefarious motives for it, is tedious.
I really have to wonder about you Limbaugh fans. You insist he's not a racist, many of you insist you're not racists, but what do you make of this? I thought he was more sly than this usually.
I'm still curious for the OP to explain how a couple of those sentences were racist.
I've read this OP's post over the last year and this OP has absolutely no credibility. Just spin and delfect, spin and deflect, spin and deflect and now race bait......
