Who Will Stand Up to Rush Limbaugh?

1. I think that it's about time for all rational thinking black people to stand up and put Rush Limbaugh in his place. Why is he labeled as a "Right-Wing Conservative" when he should be labeled as a Racist Bigot? Freedom of speech is one thing, but the __it that he spews is trash that fuels the minds of confused/ignorant white people with hatred.

2. Peace,
Unless, and until we use our radio/tv/IT broadcasting mediums to provide serious alternatives to Rush Limbaugh and his kind, then we will continue to have to listen to EIB and their offspring. What is happening now is that in order to get black people (young) to listen to or look at your programs, you need a lot of music or music videos and then use that as a lead in to the talk/discussion format. We need to change our priorities and behaviour so that when we respond to issues we include our youth in serious discussions. When we empower them, then, they will respond accordingly. How do you combat entities like those who support Rush Limbaugh? You compete !!! Do we have the resources and the knowhow to do this? Of course we do. Is there a profit to be made with this format? Good question. What it boils down to is this: Only when we begin to choose our own mediums and underwrite them financially, will we be able to respond to the blatant "race baiting" tactics of the right-wing conservative media pundits. Do we want to expend our resources to do this? Another good question. We must re-organize our priorities and rebuild our communities to effectively address these issues and positively impact our communities and our youth.

4. Rush is a big joke. For years the white control Media have allowed him and others like him keep the racists alive and destroying our country with their haltered. What really makes me see red is the fact that regardless of what type of education they may have, they come across as red neck KKK hill bullies.

They get air time to keep feeding on weak people who take their unsubstantial words at face value.

What it really boils down too is they are losers who will never achieve anything in life and so they try to destroy the ones that are educated and have dignity and morals.

Rush knows that John Mc Cain and his drug addict wife are both not fit to wipe Senator Obama's shoes and so now he has the nerve to try to use affirmative action.

Yes, we have many racists people that are many colors. But there are so many white people that have jobs that they are not qualify to have, perfect example, the News Casters on ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox.

Look at what shape our country is in. We have had white Presidents for years. Most of your States are run by white people. Most of your business is own by White people.

So it looks like to me that affirmative actions is not the problem.

5. I never watched Limbaugh, but I hear people talking about him. People like him should be ignored--don't watch him and let his ratings fall. He had a heart attack not too long ago. Can we pray for another one, or would that be unChristian of me?

God forgive me, but that's how I feel.

7. Lush Rimbaugh likely doesn't know what he's saying himself. We know that he's taking a powerful narcotic. He's nothing but a druggie who doesn't deserve to be acknowledged. That statement he made about affirmative action is one of the dumbest I've heard in quite some time. Affirmative action and voting now go hand and hand? I was under the impression that Barack Obama got into the senate by being voted in. We know that he won the nomination to run for president. He was not given the nomination because of race as that fat dummy implies but received the greatest number of votes to win it. They all seem to be running scared; and they are attempting to instill fear in others as a way to defeat barack Obama.

There are some blacks that actually listen to that big blob of useless flesh. I accidentally landed on the station that broadcasts his program and listened only briefly. His slapping his hands on the table or something was extremely annoying. This country is loaded with racists like him.

8. Who is more qualified, the wringled face white haired dude that can't even read?
John Mccane is an old unsophisticated, low IQ white man. People really think that he is more qualified than an analytical Harvard Grad. simply based on color?
ONLY IN AMERICA! God help us!
As for limbaugh, "forgattaboutit!" The guy is a crack head

9. He called Obama a "little black man child".

It's far beyond the time to stop tolerating this bigot.

We need to have round the clock demonstrations against his employer, Clear Channel. Contact his sponsors today, and tell them you don't buy racism; for starters there is Lifelock, Quicken Loans, Carbonite, Allen Brothers Steakhouse, Finck Cigar, and of course, Fox news.

10. Thomas, I wish you could print all of his sponsers
so we could boycott all of them. I would not purchase
not one item.
Thanks

11. Interesting to make it healthy for the folks rather Rush is what you called I am protecting mine. Naive ignorance underestimate him for verbatim to through a healthy debate rather This a gentleman born within an era to protect what has wear healthy for the yellow emblem. He is not ready for the subdue of its multiculturalism and equality to ignite the Chip Attitude for mongers to play cliche. Rather he knows how to chastised modernization for us to constitutes How far has the Blondie Today Look through the Dark Skin Man to see faith for Global Citizenship?

12. Rush is allowed to spew his racist rantings over the airwaves throughout this country and he speaks for many whites who don't have the nerve to say how they have hidden racist fears of anyone who doesn't look like them. It's sad that we still judge people based on color. Barrack or any other black man will never be good enough or smart enough for whites in this country to see him capable of being a president. Using affirmative action to describe Barrack's presidential race is nothing more than a "code word" to encite the fears of whites so they will ban together and vote for the "white" man. Enciting the fears of folks instead of talking the issues that affect Americans and which man would be best to lead this country is how the Republicans/Carl Rove nasty politics 101 is being played out in this presidential race. Where was Mr. Linbaugh from 2000 to 2008 when one of the most unintelligent men in the world was allowed to lead this country into the disaster we are now in. We had a surplus when this man took office, but of course that was gone a long time ago. We were better off when this man took office in 2000 and have gone down hill since then. So,I guess we have a white man was and still not qualified to be president, but he was still elected because groups of white men had money and connections and decided he was "the one" to represent the Conservative Republican party. Doesn't matter that he can't even repeat a complete sentence without stmbling over his words.....He's WHITE and being white means you're assumed to be automatically "qualified" to be and do anything in this world because you are the most intelligent species on this earth. So I guess you call that "white affirmative action".

13. way to go RUSH! You got the black racists all stirred up. One says she's a Christian and prays for your death. That shows what these people are like.

Congratulations on your ever increasing ratings.

But as the nation's first Affirmative Action President, who will tell Barry Obama how to do his job? Maybe he'll be calling you for advice, huh?

14. Limbaugh is an incompetent idiot in every sense of the word. It's really something that a broadcasting organization that considers itself respectable would have a chump like him on the air, but then, we're talking about racists after all. Besides, it's not that anyone is afraid to stand up to a black man and say no. Truth be told, it's the other way around. A Black Man is standing up and saying no. No to another presidential era of lying, stealing and murder. Oh yeah, and insipid racist idiots like limbaugh.

15. Rush's Operation Chaos was a total success.
It kept Hillary in the race long enough to expose liberal Democrats -- their vicious sexism and racism.
The problems with liberals is you can't THINK.
It's all about feelings.
When things don't go your way, you cry VICTIMHOOD!!
Need a black man to respect -- check out Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams.
But BH Obama? Oh, please, let him go back and "organize" his neighborhood.
NoBAMA -- Say no to socialism!!
