What makes this man an American icon? Is it his gutsy talk about African Americans and prejudice innuendos? Or is it his ability to be a JACK when it comes to important matters? It is not a case of being liberal or conservative for I myself am considered to be moderate. However, this guy, RUSH, has a real problem with people of color. It is obvious in every show he airs and every comment he makes. I'm sure, if he ever reads this message, he would find a smart yet stupid joke to crack...which shows his lack of maturity as well. How can America characterize such people as being acceptable in our society. They call themselves conservatives...but in all actuality they are racists. They should not be allowed to say some of the things they say. I'm an educated black woman at a predominately white college. I am currently on the dean's list, which would probably surprise Rush Limbaugh who thinks majority of black women are on welfare...well not me. My white contemporary is, however, and you are paying for her food stamps each month. Overall...MR. RUSH should HUSH with his views on my culture and start paying close attention to his own. The rich white people will survive, not on the labor (as if they ever have). So at least give us "colored folk" a chance to enjoy this American Pie. We've been serving it to you all for years.
