There's a great line I heard once..."even a dog knows when you kick it by mistake."

People can generally tell when something is in good nature rather than genuinely mean spirited. Limbaugh makes a living, a very good living off of being an #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& a good part of the time.

He loves the fact that it's binging him more attention, hell, that's the entire point, to make money for himself and his sponsors.

Again, it says more about his fans than anything else...

So Spence, you believe people should be offended by his comments? You really think that asians in this country are offended by this?
I believe that if you are offended, you're the one with problem.

Apparently some are as they're asking Rush for an apology.

If I was Chinese I'd be most offended that Rush was mocking my language primarily to make fun of Obama.

Why is it different for a radio guy (right or left) to say this than it is for Saturday Night Live (who is wayyyyyy left) to say and do it??

He doesn't hold public office, he is on the radio like Howard Stern was

His boobs are a little smaller, but other than that it is uncanny.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

because one of the key plays in the democratic propaganda book is to demonize the right. They try to tie Rush to all conservatives.
And this plays right into the weak minded libs. For a detailed overview see John Rs post titled HeHeHeHe

Actually I think it's usually the opposite.

Isn't it the liberal side that is fueling the attention and making him so much money by making such a big deal out of it?

Certainly those who operate outside of the mainstream benefit from opposition as it's a reinforcing effect among their base. But this is secondary to his talent, on loan from God.

If they have to complain about (and sometimes blow out of proportion) someone elses thoughts/words in order to have a reinforcing effect among their base..........then they have a base of weak minded people who clearly don't use there own thougts to form an opinion (that goes for both sides).

I mostly hear more negitive media coverage of the farthest right of the right wingers than I do on the farthest left of the left wingers......

I found this far more offensive...


Chinese pianist Lang Lang tickled the ivories with an anti-American ballad at last week’s State Dinner for President Hu Jintao, the White House responded Monday condemning the criticism and insisting the song, “My Motherland,” was no insult to the United States.

The song was written for the 1956 Chinese war film, “Battle on Shangganling Mountain” which depicts PRC soldiers as the heroes and Americans as the bad guys.

The original song portrays Americans as wolves (or jackals), greeted by “the hunting rifle.”

The movie and the tune are widely known among Chinese, and the song has been a leading piece of anti-American propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades.

The joke was not lost on Chinese internet writers who acclaimed Lang Lang’s choice of music. “It’s deeply meaningful to play this in the United States, but I don’t know if the Americans can understand? Ha ha,” Asia One news reports


no...Asia one, our elitists are incapable of recognizing when America is insulted and many probably recognized the tune as a childhood nursery song...
