The left is using this as an opportunity to marginilize Rush, and concervatives.

The left is trying to get the point accross that all Conservatives are secrely racists, blah blah blah....

PD, Alex - I am a dittohead, am I dumb? I am pretty Conservative ( more libertarian) does this make me a racist?

Mike, you're kinda cute when you get all Torone and start blithering on about the vast conspiracies out to get poor defenseless Rush. His troubles right now remind me a lot of the old "chickens coming home to roost" saying.

I don't think that all conservatives are racist. That being said, the conservative movement has not been at the forefront of the battle for equal rights. It was conservatives who joined with Southern Democrats to fight every major piece of civil rights legislation. It was conservatives who built up the power of the Republican party, particularly in the south, by appealing to Democrats who felt alienated from the Democratic party because of its stand on civil rights. And it is the conservatives today who continue to put forth the false notion that the playing field is level.

I think a lot of racists have become much more skilled at hiding their bigotry behind acceptable conservative rhetoric. Hey ... good old David Duke tried to become a mainstream Republican. And a great many so-called libertarians seem to regard equal employement legislation as evil federal intervention in the marketplace - which provides a perfect cover for your garden variety bigot who would love nothing better than to roll the clock back to 1950.

If Rush had made his comments in 1985 about some Jamal-Come-Lately black quarterback he might have had a point. To make the point about a 3-time probowler who has been to two recent Conference championship games at a time when 9 of the 32 NFL teams have black starting quarterbacks does seem sort of suspect.

As far as your being a dittohead (gee, wasn't that a newsflash ) - I repeat what I said earlier. Most dittoheads are not the most intellectually gifted people I've ever met. The ones I've met who are reasonably intellegent are intellectually lazy - and they enjoy Rush because he almost never makes them think.
