Wait . . . so Rush is making fun of Ed's first name because it's also the name of an old animal celebrity? But he's conveniently gliding over the fact that his name is also what every crackhead fiends for on a Saturday night. Now I used to watch Mr. Ed. It was quaint in its way. And I think drug abuse is just more shameful than horses. Isn't that right, Mr. Oxycontin?
Either way, Rush has nothing to lose by accepting the challenge. But he won't because Rush knows he'll get his Limpballs torn off and fed down his Oxycontin-poppin' throat.
"The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They'd rather make money off your dead corpse! They kinda like it when that woman has cancer and they don't have anything for her..."
"I'd cheat to keep these bastards [Republicans] out. I would, because that's exactly what they are."
"Youre damn right, Dick Cheneys hearts a political football. We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him."
"Do you think we could get Michelle Bachmann to slit her wrist right here on 'The Ed Show'?"
I can snip tidbits out here and there and make Ed look like the scum of the earth, just like you do with Rush. The difference here, between the quotes I gave you and what you gave me, is that mine are real. You can hear the audio, you can read the transcripts. There's no actual racist commentary by Rush, just a bunch of Internet slander that there's no evidence for. If Rush was a racist...
... he wouldn't have black people as best friends, and he does, and he wouldn't have Bo Snerdley as his producer. I think the Massa/Paterson/Barney Frank/Clinton etc. sex jokes are hilarious and I don't see anything wrong with them. I wouldn't make some of the sexist jokes he makes (like the vacuum joke) but I support his freedom to do it and I don't think he really wants to make women into housemaids. Just like I don't think Ed Schultz wants to slit Michele Bachmann's wrists ....
.... or rip Dick Cheney's heart out. I think he is a deranged foolish man but I support his right to make the comments he does, even if they are rude and insulting. But there are good reasons why Rush's audience is more than 20x the size of Ed's. And if Ed already didn't follow through on his own challenge with a local host in FL, and he has already been creamed by Michael Medved, why should Rush take the challenge seriously? If I were an elephant, I'd be embarrassed to fight a millipede.
"If Rush was a racist he wouldn't have black people as best friends."
Boy, some people just think blacks are REALLY stupid. "I'm not a racist, some of my best friends are _____." That, my friend is called "tokenism", and it's a trademark trait of a racist. Hell, any black person that lived as a sharecropper and had grandparents who were slaves (like my mom & dad) can tell you that slave masters had their "favorite negroes".
Racism is shown in what you do when no one is watching. Racism is shown in what you say thinking it's okay. Every black person knows - but may not openly admit - that racism isn't dead. It's alive and well in America. "Jim Crow never left. He just became James R. Crow III, Esquire." The KKK merely traded in the sheets for suits and ties. The Skinheads traded in their Doc Martins for Stacy Adams. Please don't take us to be so naive.
Damn right, Jim Crow never left. He never left the Democrat party. And neither did Bull Connor or the KKK or Robert Byrd, or most of the other anti-civil rights obstructionists who wanted to stop the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
LBJ was a Democratic Party Member. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Democratic Party member. In fact the Democratic Party lost most of the south to the Republicans because LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. Even after being told that doing so would cause the Democratic Party to lose the southern vote for generations to come.
Correction: Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican Party member. And LBJ was no civil rights advocate. He was reluctant to sign the act not because he thought the southern Democrats would run to the Republican party, but because he thought the racist Democrats would split from the rest and form a third party. What? Did I say racist Democrats? Yes, the leading opponents to the Civil Rights act were Al Gore Sr., Sam Ervin, and Robert Byrd, a former KKK member who is still a Senate Democrat.
No, I don't think you or black people are stupid. There's no reason to take something I said to you and make it about all black people. I didn't even know you were black. What this comment sounds like is you're "damned if you do, damned if you don't." I suppose this year's Miss America was another one of Rush's "tokenisms"? If you just listened with an open mind to his interview with her on the radio, you would know Rush is not a racist. Not even close.
Again, racism isn't shown in what you do in rehearsed interviews. No one in this day and age is going to purposefully admit their racism. Though racism is alive and well, it is becoming less tolerated. Racism is shown in the moments you tell the "PONTIAC" joke & think "it's just a joke" when blacks get upset. The truth of your character is shown in the statements before the damage control PR statements and "clarifications".
"There's no actual racist commentary by Rush, just a bunch of Internet slander that there's no evidence for."
Okay, now you're just plugging your ears and going "la la la la la, I can't hear you, la la la". No transcripts - no audio???!!! Ever use GOOOGLEE???!!!
Yes I said no evidence. You can even use Snopes, which is owned by democrats, and it shows that most of the so called racist remarks are nowhere to be found.
Until you can provide some real evidence that Rush has actually demonstrated real racism, I will continue to assume that the so called racist commentary is nothing but unsubstantiated rumors that people have dug up using GOOOGLEE and have passed around to each other without checking whether Rush actually said them, or what the context was
They show up at his events with loaded firearms - something that has never . . . NEVER . . . been done for ANY other president before in history. EVER! Leftist or right-wing, such an affront was never displayed to the office of the President. Not even FDR or JFK . . . or Jimmy Carter . . . or Ronald Reagan had to deal with that. Now what did all of these men have in common with Barack Obama? Now how does Obama differ from all of them?
It has happened a few times that one or several people have been carrying guns outside an Obama speech event. One of them was carrying an AR-15 assault rifle and was black. It is a foolish stunt, but I don't think it has anything to do with skin color, and certainly it isn't true that conservatives generally want Obama to get shot. If people showed up to a Bush rally with guns, I seriously doubt it would be trumped up so much since he's a pro-2nd amendment Texan.
It has nothing to do with skin color? Oh so it was Obama's policies? Jimmy Carter was more left wing then Obama. As was Frederick Roosevelt. NEITHER had to deal with conservatives - black or white - showing up to their speeches brandishing loaded assault rifles. JFK was assassinated by a conservative who had to hide the fact that he was packing heat because he knew that such acts would not be tolerated by the gov't. But now a black president is just supposed to think "meh . . . it's cool."
Lee Harvey Oswald was not a conservative. He was very much pro-communist, about as far from conservative as you can get. Conservatives as a whole don't want Obama to get shot, certainly not Rush or myself, and Ed knows better - he's just saying something outrageous to make a splash.
Hell there have been movies made about Bush being shot dead. And what about the earlier presidents - Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Grant, etc.? Think no one carried guns around the President? Again I wouldn't do it or endorse it, but it doesn't mean conservatives want to kill Obama and the remark certainly doesn't rise above Rush's level.
Movies are not real life. JFK was not killed by a cinematic CGI effect. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Grant . . . all white. And none of them had conservatives (or Tories - who btw, did not think America should exist - in Wahington's time) brandishing loaded and ready to fire muskets across the lane from their speeches. So they don't think Obama is the "tyrant" whose "blood" must "water the tree of liberty"? Those "Pray for Obama Psalm 109:8-9" t-shirts were just spiritual guidance, huh?
George W. Bush had liberal activist protesters sent out of the halls of Congress for wearing shirts that were anti-Bush. T-SHIRTS!! But conservatives show up to Barack Obama speeches WITH LOADED GUNS and he's just supposed to accept it? Why does the black president have to accept loaded murder weapons when the white one doesn't even have to put up with cotton clothing??!!
@vcdaniels you aren't supposed to protest in the normally quiet halls of congress .. where as you can do whatever you want on the streets.. didn't you see any left wing protests? They all had signs that said bomb bush, kill bush, bush= hitler, bush =racist
When Bush was President you were restricted to "free speech zones" even while outside the halls of Congress. Were the the gun nut conservatives brandishing loaded firearms restricted to "right to bare arms zones"?
"They all had signs that said bomb bush, kill bush, bush= hitler, bush =racist" How many signs do you recall causing fatalities? Okay, now how many guns have you heard of causing fatalities?
@vcdaniels auto mobiles cause a lot more deaths with most accidents having some type of intoxicant involved.. should we ban cars? The funny part is , most gun deaths are suicides excluding LA gangs and Baltimore criminal trash. Why is it that DC with one of the strictest policy on guns is still one of the highest in crime rate? If a criminal was breaking into a house , would he go to an area with high firearm possession rates or would he go somewhere guns are strictly enforced?
@vcdaniels and yes the leftist were brandishing weapons.. ummmmmmm do you not remember the 2000 election with the black panthers carrying ak-47s in texas? You must have liberal amnesia.
". . . do you not remember the 2000 election with the black panthers . . . " I suppose you are referring to the "News"Busters report? The editorial that makes a false equivalency between a rightie brandishing a firearm near the President and a leftie brandishing a firearm at a protest where Clinton was nowhere in sight and G W Bush was still a Governer - also nowhere in the area?
Tories? There were plenty of tories who shot at Washington, I guarantee you that. And again, no, conservatives generally don't want to murder a president any more than liberals would want to, though I can't speak for the occasional violent freak. The "tyrant whose blood must water the tree of liberty" and the t-shirts are straw men.
You didn't notice that all those comments Ed made - as harsh and angry as they were - were made on politicians because of what he thought of their POLICIES, did you? That is what political pundits do.
All the comments that got - & continue to get - Rush in trouble use stereotypes & euphemisms to ridicule public figures for the one thing they can't change: their race. That is what RACISTS do.
Besides, isn't it you who said that Rush was the one with all the "dignity"? Now you remind of all the quotes that Ed made that, I guess, are supposed to show that Ed is just as "dignified" as Rush is. Which leads us back, full circle to my original point: Rush has nothing to lose by accepting the challenge. But he won't because Rush knows he'll get his Limpballs torn off and fed down his Oxycontin-poppin' throat.
Limpnuts is insane and you FLAYED HIM! Most fun I had ALL DAY! THANKS Ed............keep 'em coming.......don't forget to go after him DAILY for a few minutes.........the more you can get him to rant about you the more viewers he'll send your way, LMAO!
And he doesn't even realize it! So really, how smart IS HE NOT :)? He's REALLY, REALLY not!
All Rush could do was typical republican name-calling. Eddie challenged Rush to go toe-to-toe, but Rush is the coward Eddie says he is and won't do it. Pop another Oxycontin, Rush, and go back to your fantasy world.

Ed, bring Rush ratings? It's all too obvious that if Rush went on Ed's show, he'd be bringing Ed the ratings.
Which would only last a day or two. However, if Ed brought his paltry audience to Rush's show, the increase in ratings would be permanent.
