Reply #2: Is it just me, or is Rush making WAY more racist comments

...lately than normal? I mean, we all know he has always made racist comments, but it just seems like it's way more often than before now. I'm still trying to get over his whole "Half-rican American" comments in reference to Barack Obama and Haley Berry. He used to be called out on it in the national media, and he would respond with some horse-shit excuse like, "my comments were misunderstood" or "I have lots of black friends (like Clarence Thomas, and also my show's producer, blah, blah, blah)." Now he doesn't even try to hide it, and the mainstream media just ignores it too. I guess they figure it's par for the course. The good thing is that perhaps that also means he is becoming more and more irrelevant.
