Limbaugh just says what everyone thinks

This whole Rush Limbaugh debacle is an outrage. It's also amusing in a sad sort of way.

What really frosts me is that we have the usual suspects, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and I can't for the life of me understand how either one of these creeps have any credibility whatsoever. Both of them have their skeletons in the closet yet the media seems to have selective amnesia when it comes to these two.

In the case of Jackson, does anyone remember the remark in which he offended the entire Jewish population of New York? Or how he had a child with someone other than his wife recently?

Sharpton is no better. Anyone remember the Tawana Brawley incident? Yet these people are still considered to be on the cutting edge of race relations.

Having been a Rush listener for many years now I can assure you that there is not one racist bone in his body. He simply says the things nobody else has the guts to say.

Most of the Limbaugh haters have never listened to his show and simply form their opinions based on what they hear in the media. The media hates him because he says the things that need to be said, the things they don't want people to know - the common sense that everyone knows is right, just not quite politically correct to say and too controversial.

If people like Jackson and Sharpton would just go away maybe we could all begin to look at ourselves as not being black, white, yellow, and brown, but more importantly, as Americans.
