Okay, Jack- You quote where he clearly exhibited himself to be a racist. I subscribe to his website- the paid side of it. I have not seen ANYTHING that makes him a racist. Are you a racist if you think Al Sharpton is a boob?

You said,"Beccy there is no way a person can be a liberal and use these tactics. The definition of liberal, not Rush's, the real one, automatically implies open mindedness. If you want to be thoroughly indoctronated in small minded bigotry, remain a "listener to Rush".

Horsecrap. What do you call the thread you just posted? Open-minded?

You also said, "I guess, Beccy that even you will admit that this "astute observer" doesn't at all admit the possibility that his "opponents" might also be "astute" with their own point of view." Again- horsecrap. He is dear friends with Camille Paglia (who I doubt would EVER be considered ANYTHING near a conservative) and has taken her phone calls on his show several times.

Once again, I quote you: "I've often wondered why otherwise intelligent people seem to have no idea how to conduct a civil or logical discussion." What? You mean like the way you're civilly discussing the subject of Rush Limbaugh's RADIO show with me? The way you insist that half of his listening audience is racist and abusive to women? That's REALLY civil, Jack.

You say, "If you want to be thoroughly indoctronated in small minded bigotry, remain a "listener to Rush".   I suggest that if you want to remain small minded and bigoted, you continue on the path you're on where you shout down any dissenting opinion from the liberal one you hold dear.

I on the other hand, will continue listening to ALL sides of an argument without resorting to calling liberals small minded, bigoted, wife-beaters.
