and face no consequences.

Riley Cooper's use of the "N" word is disgusting and unforgivable. It's use is and was designed to dehumanize an entire race of people. Like Oprah said, when she hears that word, she thinks of the thousands of African-Americans who heard that word as the last one they would hear before being hung from a tree.

Like I told my wife, the use of the "N" word, to me, is the same as using the "W", "C", or "S" word when talking about women. Think of the thousands of women and girls who have heard those words as they were raped or beaten.

I do believe in second chances, and I do believe that Cooper is remorseful and will have to tread a long rode to "put this behind" him. Any punishment that the Eagles, the NFL and the fans demand for Cooper should be enough to send the strongest of messages regarding the use of the "N" word.

It's disgusting that a pig like Limbaugh can use an equally dehumanizing term and still be on over 600 radio stations in this country.

That's why I continue to write and call ANY ADVERTISER, ON ANY PROGRAM, ON ANY STATION that carries Limbaugh, and tell them that "I will not support ANY advertiser that buys ad time on ANY station that give Limbaugh a platform to spew his bile.

It matters not that they may demand that their ads not be run during Limbaugh's time-slot. By buying time on ANY program on a station that carries Limbaugh is supporting a platform for him.

What is this DUmmy yammering about, when has Rush ever used a racial slur?
It's not like he is a congressman who said cracker.

1. I honestly thought he would catch hell for using that word.

over and over. He's lost most of his advertisers already because he called that woman a slut, and I thought this might be the last straw. Silly me. I guess you're bulletproof when you have Exxon, BP, and the Kochs backing your show.

She is a slut.

Uh, when did Rush Limbaugh ever use the "n" word?

Anybody know?

People, the whole world says that it’s a racist word,” she explained, but the term “nigga” is now used as a term of affection between young African-Americans, a way of defusing the power of the epithet “******,” which has been used by whites as the ultimate insult against people of color for generations.

Limbaugh declared that therefore it’s okay for him to use the word “nigga,” too.

The point of that flew way over their tiny little minds. He was showing just how ridiculous all this is.

But.....did he ever actually say it himself as being his own word, rather than just quoting it as someone else's word?

I think here we have a classic case of primitive projection--"we do it, so they do it too."

As far as I know he hasn't used it other than the one time. I guarantee if he had said it any other time, it would have been everywhere on the internet, and DU would have imploded.

If James Golden a/k/a Bo Snerdley says he can say it, then he can say it.

Rush Limbaugh actually never called that slut a slut.  He said her "testimony" about the need for thousands of dollars a year for birth control made her sound slutty.  It  wasn't Limbaugh who called her a slut.  She did it to herself.  

As for the word "******", no.  Rush Limbaugh has never personally used that word to insult anyone.  Rush Limbaugh reports on and quotes other people.  If that word was used, it was used in a completely different context than a direct and personal insult.

Even "Magic Negro" wasn't Limbaugh's words.  It came from a liberal.  Limbaugh quoted the liberal idiot.

That is true he never did call the slut, a slut. He alluded to the fact that she is one, and a prostitute as well.

Make sense, DUmmies! I'm very busy and I don't have time to decode your bullshit.

[BadCat]

We still have a little of freedom of speech left, and nobody has the right to not be offended by something.

[obumazombie]

When the occupoopers and the Flukes and the other depraved lib icons get trotted out, I always think it will hurt the lib/dem/socialists with hard working American taxpayers. But it never does seem to.

[txradioguy]

How quickly the DUmmies forget Robert Byrd...Harry Belafonte, Rae Dawn Chong and Ted Rall.

Oh and every gangster rapper with a record deal today.

[Big Dog]

John Conyers used a racial slur this week.

The DUmmies will remain hypocritically silent.

[DLR Pyro]

Charlie rangal compared the tea party to " white crackers" the other day. Care to comment on that racial slur DUmmies?

DLR Pyro is correct. I was wrong.

Should read "Charlie Rangel used a racial slur this week.

The DUmmies will remain hypocritically silent."

Guess I am too color blind. 

[Ptarmigan]

Rush never used any slur. If a mere allegation of it happened, the left gets all hissy.

Yes, language is now defined as what an un-educated black female says it is.
It's only racist if a white person does it.

Quite the contrary, it's an honest mistake.

"All them people look alike to us."  (To anyone who is offended, that quote was from Redd Foxx, who also said after one of his shows, "If you were offended by what I've said, go, leave, knowing this.  If you were offended, I DON'T GIVE A $HIT!")

BTW, since Chuck Rangel IS in the House, does that make HIM a House N****R?

Just wondering...

According to the uneducated fudge-muffin, no. You have to leave the "R" out.
She said it, not me. Go BS her.
