Scott Whitlock mentioned yesterday that liberal author Jack Huberman claimed in 2006 that Rush Limbaugh praised James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Martin Luther King. How would this reckless, unproven charge circulate?
Black sports columnists love it: Jason Whitlock, on Foxsports.com is using it right now in saying the NFL should not allow Limbaugh to be part-owner of the St. Louis Rams. But does he have a footnote with an air date? No.
When I did a Nexis search for Limbaugh and James Earl Ray, I couldn't find a single use of this so-called quotation until this March. Consider the source: Jarvis Tyner, executive vice chair of the Communist Party USA. He doesn't have a footnote either:
Limbaugh is a racist. He is the radio personality that said that Martin Luther King’s assassin James Earl Ray should get the Medal of Honor!
Tyner writes that Limbaugh has an "undeniable" record of bigotry. But a professional journalist shouldn't take fantastical quotes and assume they're real without checking, passing them along recklessly with no air dates and no audio clips to prove that these words came out of Limbaugh's mouth.
For example: would our cable networks and sports columnists suggest this is a credible quote? From Edward Klein's book The Truth About Hillary, a scene from the Clintons vacationing in Bermuda, page 90. According to an anonymous source, Klein claims a drunken Bill said:
"I'm going back to my cottage to rape my wife," he said.
Did anyone try to spread that quote on cable news or Fox websites? Or was it too implausible to spread?
Should we really believe that the Hillary Clinton-owned and operated media watchdogs on the left would have ignored such an assassin-praising Limbaugh quote if it really happened?
Someone ought to write the National Association of Black Journalists and ask if being black and angry means never having to cite sources like a journalist.

rush is no racist or bigot
October 13, 2009 - 08:23 ET by PaarlI am a self employed trucker and have listened to each and every Rush show since 1993...when I arrived stateside. He has, and I cannot document it, delved into the history of the slave trade without a solid knowledge and said things that were marginal..basically concerning the collaboration of Africans in the slave trade. He has also commented on the Atlantic Crossing and mocked writers who have commented that to this day the sharks wait in the central Atlantic for more slaver ships.
But he HAS NEVER even hinted at racism and African inferiority or anything close to that. He has a bee in his bonnet for the political slants of African American political leadership and gives them no quarter from his wit and sarcasm.
Sometimes his mouth is faster than his brain but this racism thing is outrageous.......just like the definition of high cholesterol is always changing...200 once good..now stinks...the definition of racism is a moving target....criticism of the BAMSTER is now considered rascists so I guess we are all card carrying kkk members because we dont like his policies...

MSNBC & Rush
October 13, 2009 - 08:28 ET by HoosierEmI was watching Donnie Deutsch on Morning Joe this morning practically spitting mad talking about how Rush and other conservative radio personalities is nothing but hate radio. If some of these people would actually listen to him instead of just assuming what they think they know, they might realize why Rush is so popular.
But as usual, anyone who goes against the liberal grain is immediately labeled as racist, a hater, and selfish.
BTW - did anyone else read that Rupert Murdoch has expressed interest in buying NBC Universal? Ha ha! Now wouldn't that be funny? It doesn't sound very likely but it's humorous to think about.
Bashing Rush is a means to an end
October 13, 2009 - 08:59 ET by Kingfish17Wannabe left wing pundits, (Deutsch is a great example), fall all over themselves saying anything and everything negative about Rush Limbaugh in a vain attempt to get some name recognition from Limbaugh on his radio show. They really have no concern if their charges agains Limbaugh are true or not.

That's easy. They don't need no stinking proof!

The "undeniable" (record of bigotry) is another of leftists' favorite tricks to shut down discussion.
It's always "clearly" or "it's a fact" or "the fact is...." signalling that there is to be no dissent.
ask if being black and angry means never having to cite sources like a journalist.
Of course it does. It's RACIST to not accept as gospel anything that a black person says.

Bill O'Reilly had on a guy last night claiming Rush kill kittens
October 13, 2009 - 08:40 ET by JWFYes. Rush kills kittens and steals their souls. Ok, it was some other racist type lie about Rush, actually 2 lies about Rush. BOR said he had a crack research team and could not find any reference ever to Rush actually saying those lies.
The guys response? Well Rush did not actually deny he said it. So now the proof is back on Rush. He has to immediately get on the air to deny every single little lie told by one of the 1.5 billion liars on the planet including nwahs.
So I am here to dispel the kitten killing lies and all variations thereof...
Rush does not kill kittens and steal their souls. Nor does he grind, mutilate, crush, stomp, poison, stab, X-out, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, crucify, dispatch, do away with, do in, drown, dump, electrocute, eradicate, erase*, execute, exterminate, extirpate, finish, garrote, get*, guillotine, hang, hit*, immolate, liquidate, lynch, massacre, murder, neutralize, obliterate, off*, poison, polish off, put away, put to death, rub out, sacrifice, slaughter, slay, smother, snuff, strangle, suffocate, waste*, wipe out, or zap kittens.
Nor does Rush steal kittens souls, feet, eyeballs, fur, teeth, eyeteeth, livers, bedding, food, tails, paws, sleep, & dreams.
Tomorrow, the puppy murderin' dispelling commences.
Sincerely,
a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.
No. Rush does not collect the souls of kittens in a mason jar under his bed to keep his good looks eternal. No, not in a milk jug, peanut butter jar, plastic sandwich bag, safe, oh just stop.

Demonization
October 13, 2009 - 08:40 ET by Gat New YorkDuring the early 1950's charges of "communism" were at time recklessly used in attacking political enemies by McCarthy and his supporters. Any attempt to defend against McCarthy and his crew were labeled treasonous.
The McCarthysim today is racism.
Here's what Ann Coulter says about McCarthy
October 13, 2009 - 08:53 ET by nwahsLets see what Ann Coulter says about McCarthyism:
The myth of "McCarthyism" is the greatest Orwellian fraud of our
times. Liberals are fanatical liars, then as now. The portrayal of Sen. Joe
McCarthy as a wild-eyed demagogue destroying innocent lives is sheer liberal
hobgoblinism. Liberals weren't hiding under the bed during the McCarthy era.
They were systematically undermining the nation's ability to defend itself,
while waging a bellicose campaign of lies to blacken McCarthy's name. Liberals
denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought
back like animals to hide their own collaboration with a regime as evil as
the Nazis. As Whittaker Chambers said: "Innocence seldom utters outraged
shrieks. Guilt does."

October 13, 2009 - 12:13 ET by gmaniac1Agreed about the Dear Leader at 1600 and also, what does this have to do with McCarthyism? We're talking about a conservative which means more about facts not cliches.
I don't know about that quote
October 13, 2009 - 08:48 ET by nwahsI don't know about that quote, but the quote about "take the bone out of your nose" came early in his career before he was syndicated, I think. You won't find any evidence of it either except Rush admitting to it in an article in later years and expressing regret over it. I believe someone here stated it was from a News Day interview in 1990 where he admitted to saying that when he was an "insult DJ." I think the only evidence of the News Day interview you'll find on the net is a photocopy.
I don't know about that other stuff. I've never heard it. He should just deny it if he's sure there is no evidence of it (i.e., he didn't say it).I do know the Ebonics translations and the "Moving on up" Jeffersons theme song bit, make it more believable to some that he would've said such a thing. Then if you take in the Survivor comments and the "Halfrican-American" schtick, its hard to believe Rush didn't perceive the sum of all this would be considered bigotry toward blacks.
Your post is going to doubly hurt Rush's feelings
October 13, 2009 - 09:12 ET by Kingfish17nwahs-
Your comments are going to really hurt Rush's feelings because he considers you a close friend, nwahs. How do I know this? Well, just the other evening, when I was having a secret dinner over at Limbaugh's house, he told me how he use to hang out with his good buddy nwahs in his "pre syndicate racists insult DJ" days. He told me some good stories about how he use to tell you all the good old "bone in the nose" jokes.
And here you go betraying his trust and hurting an old friend. Shame on you.

However, they say it's true based on the fact that a reader presented them with a "copy" of the 1990 Newday article. No source listed at the bottom with other various articles. Wow, I guess we can start giving the same respect to snopes as we do wikipedia.

October 13, 2009 - 14:14 ET by Kat Outta the BagI've heard through different sources that the couple who runs snopes.com is pretty liberal in their personal politics so they tend to sift things on their site through that mindset. Sounds like there might be something to the rumors.
Snopes Sucks
October 13, 2009 - 14:19 ET by slickwillie2001Snopes has never had a lot of credibility. It's run by a California couple out of their basement. They should stick to kid's questions like 'could the Hulk take Godzilla' and leave the difficult questions to more competent organizations.
Here's what they write
October 13, 2009 - 14:41 ET by nwahsHere's what Snopes writes - why doesn't Rush sue Snopes and FAIR?
Because if its true you can't sue
However, a helpful reader provided us with a copy of that Newsday article (from the 8 October 1990 edition), and that article does report Rush Limbaugh as admitting he felt guilty for once having told a
difficult-to-understand black caller to "take that bone out of your nose and call me back." (This incident occurred not on Rush Limbaugh's now-familiar talk and political commentary radio program, but at the beginning of his broadcast career back in the early 1970s when he was hosting a Top 40 music show under the name "Jeff Christie" on either WIXZ or KQV in Pittsburgh.) The same article also quotes Limbaugh as confirming that he did utter another line commonly mentioned in tandem with the "bone" quote: "Have you ever noticed how all newspaper composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
Since Rush Limbaugh presumably wouldn't have expressed feelings of guilt over an apocryphal story, and as far as we know he hasn't ever denied or disclaimed what Newsday reported he told them, we have to put this one in the "true" column.

Now since this doesn't fit in with what you wanted to hear, Snopes is discredited! You know its entirely possible you are wrong.

No, I sourced MY allegations
October 13, 2009 - 19:27 ET by nwahsI sourced MY allegations - that Rush called Halle Berry halfrican American, lampooned black politicians with "Moving on up," made a joke using the stereotype that blacks can't swim, and his regular feature of using Ebonics translations.
When I mention the "bone in the nose," I stated there was little evidence of it and that it was early in his career.I think Rush should push it. That way we can all see the photocopy of the Newsday article.
And not one bit of this has to do with the false accusation that I'm advocating liberal positions. You're trying to play a little shell game here? Gmaniac claimed I was supporting liberal position. Thats a lie. I'm not a liberal so I don't have to check, I don't have to scour my past posts to make sure. I don't support liberal positions, I don't have to check.

October 13, 2009 - 21:31 ET by general companyI think I've been pretty clear as to what matters to me in health care reform, and thats portability
Really, are you loosing your jobs at an unussual rate?
( i.e., moving insurance from employer purchased to individual
purchased). I don't want see anyone tied to a job because of insurance.
Well isnt that special, how about having to beg the Fed to give care to your mother, or handicapped child. Begging,,,,and you claim to be a conservitive. Your a liberal, who want the Gov to pass out the coupons, so nobody gets more then you.
My Gov. thinks I am dangerous, so be careful
"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg
Thats ridiculous
October 13, 2009 - 21:48 ET by nwahsYou're making stuff up now. Where did you ever hear me say I want the government passing out coupons?
I want insurance separated into catastrophic and routine medical. I want routine medical handled like a 401k plan and you get the amount of coverage that you pay in for. If you're paying in for 5 years, you get a whole lot better coverage than someone paying in for 2 months.I want you to be able to roll it over between employers and periods of unemployment. I want you to be able to freeze it if you are unable to pay premiums during a period of unemployment. During that time, you would have to pay you own routine medical bills, but you shouldn't lose the years you paid into it.
Catastrophic coverage would be mandatory and subsidized for those who can't afford it. Liberal? NO. Catastrophic insurance is subsidized now by the fact that YOU pay for those uninsured now on your hospital bill. With mandatory catastrophic insurance, you will only be paying for those who can demonstrate an incapability of paying, not those who choose not to pay.
That specific enough for you?
That specific enough for you?
October 13, 2009 - 21:51 ET by Sergeant ROCKYes - YOU ARE A SOCIALIST.

Why don't you point to the part
October 13, 2009 - 22:00 ET by nwahsWhy don't you point to the part that is any more socialistic than what is in place now? Subsidized catastrophic insurance exist now in the fact that no person with a serious illness can be turned out of a hospital. This includes people who simply choose not to pay. Mandatory catastrophic insurance laws would reduce that subsidy to those unable to pay.
Ah, because you can't.
All of which you support!

If they want to reform HC, how about they start with making Medicare and cade, veterens HC and schip, solvent? How about they clean up SS get a real energy plan, before they ask me to throw more of my hard earned money at the black hole?
The Baucus bill is going to steal money from HC providers and suppliers to pay for it? This is genius economics dont you think,,,,,what could go wrong? These clown couldnt run a snow cone stand. But you are willing to give them more and more money in hopes that you will get the care you and yours need, good luck with that. I got news for you, it will never be enough, and every proposal that come after, will be how to reduce cost,,,,,,,,how will they reduce cost? The only way to reduce cost is to eliminate the Gov bureaucracy, and tort reform. If we dont do that, then we may as well not do anything.
What any of this has to do with you spreading innuendo about Rush, I am sure I dont know?
BTW, I said the Gov will be handing out coupons, so quit with the rediculous assertions
Also if you dont want your HC to be tied in with your employer, go buy a private plan, but I guess that would not make us all even, huh?

What have you done for me lately?
October 13, 2009 - 09:20 ET by nwahsUnder the category of "What have you done for me lately?"
I remember when the readers here praised Jason Whitlock. I think it was after this column.
He doesn't sould like a victim to me or an angry black man.
My, a difference a year makes.
From : http://newsbusters.o...
Jason Whitlock--an honest voice crying in the wilderness. The liberal
ideologues in the MSM will do all they can to silence this man. I'm
sure they're fuming already.
-----
Reverend Jason Whitlock, yes keep up the good work!
To bad we will NEVER see him, again on CBS ABS NBS, typical.
------
Whitlock is not Conservative..... Previous comments on sports and life
reveal that. He is however, a more honest person than a political
shrill. He has beliefs and will speak them
------
Jason Whitlock is GREAT. He doesn't make excuses for black people, like
when the "gangsta" horde invaded Las Vegas for the NBA All-Star Game.
-----
All I can say is, "Wow"! What a well spoken young American. My hat is off to Jason for speaking the truth.
-----
wow... We need more Jason Whitlocks in this country!

Oh, the toxic elixir of agreement!
Yea, too bad he ruined his reputation

Tough concept to grasp
October 13, 2009 - 10:13 ET by Kingfish17I guess that is a pretty tough concept to grasp, agreeing with one thing a person says but disagreeing with a different thing the same person says. We all need to work on that.
"I've sentenced boys younger then you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it, but I felt I owed it to them." Judge Smails
No, disagreeing is fine
October 13, 2009 - 11:14 ET by nwahsI'm not talking about disagreeing with him. I'm talking about minimizing him as just another black sports writer.
Black sports columnists love it: Jason Whitlock, on Foxsports.com
is using it right now in saying the NFL should not allow Limbaugh to be
part-owner of the St. Louis Rams. But does he have a footnote with an
air date? No.
Jason Whitlock in not just another black sports writer and the fact that he disagrees, has nothing to do with the fact he is black. He's not a thin skinned victim nor one subject to knee jerk reactions.
On the contrary, he's razor sharp on this one :
Having failed as an NFL commentator, Limbaugh understands the power
of football. He realized announcing his intention to buy the Rams would
feed the sports and political talk-show monsters. He figured if things
hit just right, he might land the cover of Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine.
He never had a doubt that he'd smoke out Al Sharpton.
I don't see "just another black sports writer"
October 13, 2009 - 11:23 ET by Kingfish17Sorry, nwahs, I just don't see the general context of this thread as people minimizing Whitlock as "just another black sports writer". I see people disagreeing with what he is saying.
"I've sentenced boys younger then you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it, but I felt I owed it to them." Judge Smails
Here you go
October 13, 2009 - 11:37 ET by nwahsAs I stated in the earlier quote, the author of the blog starts off by lumping black sports writers together saying they're having a field day with the quote.
He then ends with this:
Someone ought to write the National Association of Black Journalists
and ask if being black and angry means never having to cite sources
like a journalist.
Yes, the author is lumping black sports writers together, and in fact links them to a organization with an established agenda to increase diversity and aid other black writers. Its without question the author of the blog wrote about the black sports writers as a group. My only question is did the author make sure Whitlock belongs to the NABJ? There's no footnote in the blog :)
Author, yes. General context of thread, no.
October 13, 2009 - 12:12 ET by Kingfish17I still content that the general context of this thread is purely about Whitlock's comments this time around, and not what his comments were a year ago.
As for the author's comments about the National Association of Black Journalists, I would agree that comments like that can be viewed as minimizing and don't really enhance the author's argument. I would go further though and say that if entities like the National Association of Black Journalists didn't exist in the first place comments that minimized people for belonging to said organizations would be superfluous.
"I've sentenced boys younger then you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it, but I felt I owed it to them." Judge Smails

I would go further though and say that if entities like the National
Association of Black Journalists didn't exist in the first place
comments that minimized people for belonging to said organizations
would be superfluous. \
See, there's the thing. We don't know Whitlock belongs to the NABJ, and yet it is implied he does. Apparently fact checking is someing others must do, not this particular blog :) What a faux pas if Jason really doesn't belong to that organization and the author assumed he did because he's black :)
"Lumping" is the new thing

Yea but when you disagree with Newt
October 13, 2009 - 11:21 ET by nwahsBut when you disagree with Newt, you don't chalk it up to him being a RINO, or in Whitlock's case, one in a herd of black sport writers having a field day with it. If Whitlock has proven anything, its that he's not part of any herd.
In the comments I posted above (from 2007), I purposely left out the subject matter and confined it to what people here were saying about his honesty and individualism. All of a sudden, thats gone and he's part of a herd of black sports writers? Because you disagree?
?

He's a self agrandizing buffoon. In 1996 (?) National Review had an article about the difference between a good sports writer and a bad one. Whitless was the bad one. I wish he'd just go away.
Irony is, a couple of months ago Rush was talking about how much he liked Fatlock.

this particular quote
October 13, 2009 - 11:40 ET by katainkentcame from an unsourced comment on wikiquote. the person who added it has since been banned and the comment moved to 'disputed' with reasons noted. Strangely enough the author, Jack Huberman used this unsourced quote and sourced wikiquote.
The entire story is here 24ahead.com and at wikiquote itself. The 'circular smear' as its been called because wiki turns around and references the book.
This is why I don't let my children use wikipedia for anything unless its sourced, and and make them go to the source page and use that. That an author chose to use this seems very unprofessional. That journalists and bloggers continue to use this is rediculous.

Lawyer-Time
October 13, 2009 - 12:11 ET by slickwillie2001Rush needs to set his lawyers on all these liars. I believe that he could prove malice in some of these cases if he can get to discovery. A bit of evidence to get to discovery is the hurdle. Second, if Rush's lawyers demand credible retractions from those spreading the slander, and they refuse, isn't that in itself malice?
The cost to Rush for these lawyers is pocket change, and it might encourage more responsible reporting in the liberal media.
I tend to agree with Jason Whitlock
October 13, 2009 - 11:55 ET by nwahsThis isn't about Rush becoming a owner, but getting his face plastered all over the news. Rush knows the NFL has no desire of taking on a Marge Shott just after the black coaches issue dies, and Rush darn well knows how to keep a secret. This whole story is nothing but self-promotion.
I do believe, like the Michael Jackson image rehab tours, this is going to blow up in Rush's face.
Publicity, maybe.
October 13, 2009 - 12:21 ET by Kingfish17I'm not stalking you today, nwahs, promise. :)
I can see how someone could make an argument for the first part of your post. He does get a lot of publicity over the move to be a partner in ownership of the Rams.
But how is this going to blow up in his face? I think if his group of bidders gets aproved to buy the Rams, they will follow through with the deal. I don't see how this is bad for him?

You're right in one way

LIMBAUGH responds to
October 13, 2009 - 12:19 ET by Jack BauerLIMBAUGH responds to scurrilous lies.
While not going into great detail, Rush Limbaugh just announced on air a number of news items about him:
1. He knows the "single source" of the lies being propogated about him, though not the person's name. YET.
2. His lawyers have written to every journalist/news outlet who have repeated the unsubstantiated lies as fact, demanding that they either provide full documented proof of what he is being alleged to have said about slavery, the assasination of MLK.
3. Because they can't, as he never said what is being quoted, he demands an immediate retraction and apology.
4. If not, watch this space.
Clearly he's going all the way with this. And he has the resources to do so.
