To be absolutely, positively, Colorado mountain stream, crystal clear: my intent is not to justify his joke. It was stupid, crude, in extremely bad judgment and probably harmful for the reasons G states in his summary of view points. I neither condone racism nor racist jokes. If you actually read what I said, before letting your emotions obscure my words you would note the following things:
1. I said I don't follow Rush so am not up to date on every insensitive thing he has said. 2. I tried to make it clear that my viewpoint was from the perspective of this incident because ... (see point #1). 3. At no point did I say Rush is not racist, rather I suggested that making a racist comment doesn't make one a racist. 4. I was not being combative in any way, shape nor form until you decided condescension makes an effective form of persuasion. If he has a history of bigoted behavior, he probably is just as you claim, but as per point #1, I can't speak to that nor have I tried. I simply don't think a bad comment defines a person (see point #1). For instance, you indirectly calling me a racist doesn't necessarily make you an a--hole.
