You know, I can say to myself, "Self, there's no way that after hearing Rush say that we should return to pre-desegregation days anyone could ever defend him." And yet...
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

I expect that a number of people who opposed desegregation are still around. And they've probably passed on their nonsense to a non-trivial number of people, too. Rush is the mouthpiece for the monster.

I can testify that this is true. ::looks balefully at mother's side of family:: ::except for R, who has lurked here, but she knows she's awesome::

Well, and the guys who sat next to us at breakfast this morning. I'm sure it would help them out if they knew when and where it's ok to tell a racist joke.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Won't anyone think of the racists?
THAT is the last acceptable prejudice, my friends.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
HAT is the last acceptable prejudice, my friends.
Or, you know, prejudice against straight white males.
(Actually, lots of conservatives (like Rush) believe this.)

Nuh uh. Now, they argue, that just goes to show how racist you are.

Best comment I've seen about the ACORN flap
From a commenter over on the Media Matters page:
"...But I've got my own investigation going on. I just stopped in at Wal-Mart, where I bought a box of Zip-Loc baggies.
As the clerk was ringing me up, I asked if these would be suitable for packaging my "Mary Jane" which I would be "pushing" to school kids.
She replied "Sure, I guess".
Looks like I've got a large corporation with irrefutable ties to the GOP and many conservative groups clearly advising me on how to run an international drug ring.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Bwah! That's awesome.
I am racist. I know mildly derogatory slurs for white people in three different languages. Also sometimes I call you Caucasians and I pronounce the last syllable with slightly more emphasis than necessary.
ItotallyON, I just had a really great practice. I did vocals, then specific tunes for tonight's rehearsal, then guitar. And it's not even immediately before I have to have it done.
IOON, I'm in another band. I kinda wasn't talking about it in case it went boom like the R&B group, but it's also kinda a much smaller deal because it's a worship group, just in a rock&roll church.
There are band politics of course, and we probably should find a different drummer, but I'm having so much fun with it right now. I love this honeymoon phase of bands.
