Quote from Hello:

I suggest you [tmarket] go out in public and find some friends, and see how real people talk, instead of hanging out with whatever group of liberal pansies you currently hang out with that would take offense to these sayings.

I am sure some of the Limbaugh fans would recognize these quotes:

You're a plagiarist for quoting that verbatim without citing the source. Did you want us to think you came up with that on your own?

Ever hear of comedy or political satire? What about Rush calling Steinbrenner a cracker? Does that "prove" he's an anti-white racist? You're an idiot.

You'd do well to heed Hello's advice to "go out in public and find some friends, and see how real people talk, instead of hanging out with whatever group of liberal pansies you currently hang out with that would take offense to these sayings."

I clicked on one of those links...

"GLAAD has also condemned Limbaugh for his crude comments about gay and African American voters last June. And in August 2008, Limbaugh made a similar joke about the popular, openly lesbian political commentator Rachel Maddow, suggesting that Dan Abrams was “losing his show to somebody with more testosterone than he has.” "

Popular? how about a more accurate descriptions such as not as gross as other CNBC socialists.

LOL....
 
Quote from olias:

Possibly Elton saw a chance to change Rush's view of gay people. It certainly seems a possibility
Or possibly as I suggested in the first post "Limbaugh's homophobic rants were just an act of his public persona". When you want to feed the intolerant and the insensitive, many of whom run rampant on this forum as well, you'll need to come up with some amusing rants once in a while.

Kudos to Limbaugh, he's got his cake and ate it too.
 
HE got paid a million to be a wedding singer! That says one of 2 things: a) he did it to show he is not intimidated by a bigot or b) he needs the money.
