lol @ at Einzige linking to the Keith Olbermann site. Rush Limbaugh's idiocy is a foregone conclusion, but using Olbermann's idiocy to evidence Limbaugh's seems like overkill. It's "idiocy within idiocy". Do they somehow cancel each other out? 
Despite your attempt to justify yourself with a fallacy of equivocation, it won't work: Olbermann is significantly more intelligent - and vastly more rational - than Limbaugh. You make the same mistake that moderates do in presuming the 'truth is somewhere in the middle'.
The whole thread is a false premise.
You think that Limbaugh meant it 'as a joke'? Then f**king prove it. Otherwise shut your goddamned trap. He went on for ten minutes expanding on this statement. I'm tired of you assholes getting away with calling every faux pas a 'joke'.
Considering I listened to that days show, I can 100% confirm that he said it as a joke, right at the end of a segment.... I know I can't ever satisfy you to that point, but myself and anyone else who has common sense knows that he was saying it as a joke.
That's the old Limbaugh shuck and jive. He tells a black caller, "Hey Willie, call back after you take the bone out of your nose". But it's just a joke. He suggests that blacks lack the intellect and discipline to be NFL quarterbacks. But it's not supposed to be taken seriously -- he's an "entertainer".
I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt a hundred times. But after the hundred and first, even a dim bulb like me starts to see a pattern.
