Sticking it to the eye of Liberals by hearkening to some very real, dark, and painful days for all black Americans? This is exactly the perception I would have hoped he would avoid....for the sake of all black conservatives who attempt to vocalize that position.
But even if he is "sticking it in the eye", that begs my point. He does not care and neither do a lot of Conservatives.
If Rush and the party of conservatives really cared about black voters and having them partake in the party of conservatives, would they intentionally stick it in the eye of liberals THIS WAY?

Ferd, my point with this thread has nothing to do with Soros, Huffington, The big bad media, or an other nefarious organization. I am speaking as an individual who upon hearing that Rush was calling the President a boy, refused to even believe it initially.
My point here is more about political and social good will. Did my earlier comparison to gender make any sense to you?
Does the left ever have to give out any "political good will"?
I'm so sorry you were offended, I know what that is like too. It's not a good place and it's not okay to offend anyone. However, I think this is being made out to be bigger than it should be....it just may work, the left may just not loose any of the houses...sigh
now, the only person on this planet I fear is my momma. You sir dont come close. I am however worn out with your hypocritical judgementalism.
You are very smart. I didn't ever tell my kids wait until your Dad gets home.

I'll check all of my sources and see if Rush is nailed on his comments. I haven't seen it. I still think it was taken out of context. I read comments by some pretty sharp and respected black conservatives and they aren't caving to the Democrats "racist" junk.
Again context only sometimes matters.
I repeat, if I said "So and so is a N-word, by that I mean ignorant" it doesn't matter how much context you bring up, that was the wrong thing to say and the issue here is not "Is Rush a racist", but was that a smart thing to say for a representative of the conservative party (Despite what some think he is) FOR a party that wants to claim they are not racist at all and welcome blacks to the party?
No I think it was stupid not savvy at all

He wasn't offended. This isn't about Tstew wearing his emotions on his sleeve like some folks do. He made a valid point in regards to a party that is trying to shake off the Leftist claims that it is a racist party...this kind of stuff hurts more than it helps

Stew, I really respect your views and I dont mean to come accross is overtly crass here. really. It is just that I am absolutly burnt beyond burnt by what I see happening with Huff Po and Media Matters shoveling this kind of thing for all its worth.
you would never ever hear me say something like this. but I do get what Rush is doing by pushing this kind of thing.
Maybe I am wrong here. maybe ive gotten so fed up with the false attacks that I will defend everything. maybe.
i do know that this attack is directly from the playbook. and right about now, I refuse to give a half a milimeter.
I appologize if I have offended, it is not my intention.

i get it. dont forget as conservative as I am, I am still opposed to getting rid of affermative action.
im just done accepting the liberal rant about racism where it doesnt exist.
Well, what I illustrated in the gender scenario was the whole point of this thread. (just remember that there is even more very specific connotation of this phrase) i just don't get the point of gratuitously putting black conservatives in that position. No liberal rants here
