I have listened to Rush for years and I have to say I have never heard him say anything like what you quote above. Do you have an audio link where I can hear Rush say the above in the full context.

As a Rush listener you know that in order to get audio clips of the guy you have to pay his website fee. I'm also curious under what context those comments on slavery would be acceptable. In what context is it possibly funny? But I'm not paying for Rush and I doubt if you are a premium member we'd be able to find those quotes. However, all you have to do is type in Rush Limbaugh, racism and quotes on google and a number of sites come up with very similar kinds of quotes.

To judge a person on the color of their skin, to act or set policy either positively or negatively only on skin color. Racial quotas and Jim Crow are based on racist beliefs -- the first a positive benefit, the second a negative -- both based on a negative view of African-Americans. My Oxford University Press Dictionary defines Racism as: 1 the belief that there are characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to each race. 2 discrimination against or antagonism towards other races.
Rev. Wright has expressed his belief that there are characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to each race.

Jim Crow was based on the notion that racial segregation was necessary to protect the purity of the white race, to ensure that only whites wielded political and economic power and became an effective rallying cry for southern Democrats for decades. How exactly is this at all similar to "racial quotas." You also are wrong about the premise of Affirmative Action. It assumes there are qualified applicants/students of all races, but it also acknowledges that racism exists and, most importantly, there are advantages that whites receive in terms of social connections (this is particularly the case for business) that racial minorities and women do not receive. Remember, the greatest benefeciaries of Affirmative Action are white women.

His whole diatribe about his alleged differences in how blacks and whites learn is racist. And he has expressed his antagonism towards other races -- specifically towards whites. Whites creating AIDS to kill off blacks is based on a conspiracy lie that is inherently racist.

Actually you are wrong about Wright and not understanding a key distinction he makes between people and governments. Wright's contention is ALWAYS that the U.S. government has engaged in racism, and frankly, the record speaks for itself doesn't it. The mission of the government for centuries was to ensure white supremacy can you deny this?
As far as HIV-AIDS conspiracies go. Wright is very off base. But considering the long history of the US government's experimentation on African Americans I don't blame him. People are only aware of the Tuskegee experiment because it was the most publicized. There's a tragically extensive history of this kind of thing happening.

Rolling your eyes and repeating what you said doesn't count as a response.

Again present an audio link. More likely it is you without a sense of humor, suffering from white guilt, and deeply influenced by political correctness.

Um I'm not white, but...OK.

She was clear enough for me to understand her. Yet, due to some who were too dense, the next day she clarified the report. FOX News has not engaged in repeating the false claim that Obama was raised Muslim on their news shows. I watch the news, not the talking head opinion shows.

Then we're not talking about the same thing. The talking head shows are what they claim as "news programs."
