I actually know someone who believes this. I'm saddened. I went on Facebook where my friend posted the rant and comment, and responded saying that this was just a satirical rant, did she really believe that Rush was advocating for segregated buses? Yes indeed; Rush is a racist, and so are his listeners. I pointed out that then I'm a racist; I listen. I went on to say something about my serving in combat with African Americans, brothers in arms that were killed, and that I had a Chinese stepmother and family (I'm a white guy, pale beyond compare, part albino I think). I was told by one of the responders that if I had to justify my race credentials by saying those things, then I was even more of a racist.
Chinese family, point it out, I'm a racist. The loss of black comrades in arms in combat (Vietnam), that I wept at their funerals, I'm a racist. That I worship and pray with African Americans, I'm a racist. That I go to and support the tea party movement, I'm a racist. That I oppose the president nationalizing car companies, insurance companies, and banks, I'm a racist. Think that withdrawing missile defense from Central Europe is a mistake, I'm a racist. Think that nationalizing the health care industry is wrong, I'm a racist. Believe that the Constitution has enumerated duties for the government this president is ignoring, I'm a racist. Believe AG Eric Holder not prosecuting two Black Panther thugs for intimidating white voters at a polling place is wrong, I'm a racist.
If you believe in Liberty, you're a racist. Sure glad to live in a post racial Amerika.
