ROTFLMAO!

“I am not right wing or left wing, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. I’m not beholden to any political agenda.”

This guy is a huge liar. This non-apology then goes on to further say how much of racist that Rush is. I sue this jerk author and make him write another apology.

[FReepaholic]

...limbaugh's radio empire is built on the foundation of convincing white America that the country our forefathers stole from Native Americans is being stolen by blacks and Mexicans...

You've never listened to Rush, have you? If you have and you're still making this statement then you are an idiot.

[Right Wing Assault]

they don't spend three hours a day on the radio trying to stir up racial animosity

Jason, I think you owe Rush ANOTHER apology. Where is your proof that Rush spends three hours a day on the radio trying to stir up racial animosity? You have none. Apologize.

Yeah, you can say you didn't say he did, but that others didn't. Right.

I am not right wing or left wing, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. I'm not beholden to any political agenda.

Perhaps...but he's still a black racist!

” Hi, I'm Jason Sh*tforBrains. I'm a leading far-lefti sports writer. (that's a kid who flunked english in 2nd grade, speaks like Ray Romano and couldn't find a real job) Make no mistake, because I didn't. My real purpose in attacking Rush Limbaugh was to hurt him personally, financially and politically because I, and my many brethren despise Conservatives, hate our own country, worship at the feet of incompetent black presidents, and want to destroy everything that is good about this country! So you can take your apology Rush and stick it!

Regards,

JS

Lancey???? Did you say Lancey????????????? And you like this POS? Better get over to DU!

[Girlene]

Wow, that was an apology that came off like a slap in the face.

I'm sorry Rush didn't tell me I was using inaccurate statements.....but by the way Rush is still the most successful race-hustler who was using the NFL schtick as a publicity stunt. Allrighty.

Hey, Jason, do yourself a favor and actually listen to El Rushbo on a more regular basis. You might learn a thing or two. He's not "preying on the biased fears of white America", he's speaking to a concerned conservative citizenry, regardless of their race, who loves this country.

[Stentor]

He says he saw the quote on so many sources so believed it had to be true. But isn't there this thing in journalism about "who" "when" "what" where" or something like that?

He arose out of a culture which has urban legend as its classical philosophy. Poor Jason. He was born with a silver Tootsie Roll in his mouth.

[sausageseller]

I attributed racially insensitive quotes to Limbaugh that I read in two Missouri newspapers, saw on CNN and confirmed through a Google search.

So Jason you take what you heard or read of OBVIOUS KNOW liberal lying sources for your "fact checking"?

Your CYAing Jason makes you out to be ....Oh I'll be nice... Less than brilliant.

[dools007]

Tells one a lot about Whitlock. As an alleged journalist he had an obligation to check the facts. Because someone may have failed to deny an accusation does not imply the accusation is true. If someone asks me “did you beat your wife today?” there is no way I can respond that denies the allegation.

So this is just a pile of manure on Whitlock’s part. He is today’s version of an alleged journalist. That is to say his biases trump the facts every time. This bag of billious gas simply accepted and passed on what he wanted to hear about Limbaugh. Whether the material was factual or not was immaterial to Whitlock.

[Lakeshark]

“But on most days I see Limbaugh for exactly what he is: America’s most successful race hustler.

He delights in labeling Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as “race hustlers,” but not surprisingly Limbaugh fails to inform his massive radio audience that he hustles the same game as Jesse and Al, just on the white side of the fence.”

I read that quote and gagged beyond comprehension. Rush, a race hustler for whites? I must have missed something having listened for all these years......I guess I'm just racist and can't see it like all the libs say.

Some apology from Mr. Whitlock.......

[AD from SpringBay]

Good point. At least Whitlock apologized, that’s more than any of the others have done, so far.

[rintense]

Worst apology ever. He never states the alleged racist remarks were completely fabricated. He also does the bait and switch, praising a few things Rush has said/done, but then spends hundreds of words attacking him. I get the point of this article, but its a pretty haphazard attempt at making himself look better, and ultimately excuse his mistake.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“then he slammed Limbaugh again by saying that he spends 3 hours a day race-baiting.”

Whitlock obviously has never listened to the show.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Jason, pal? You allowed yourself to get caught up in the zeitgeist, piled on and now Jason? You and your rag must pay. ;^)

and pay and pay and pay ;-)

[kinsman redeemer]

...and confirmed through a Google search

ROFLMBO!

[mkjessup]

Sorry, Jason.
Slander is slander & libel is libel

"What this tells me, is that dawg done got served this week!"

[pillut48]

This is NOT an apology. It is full of snide, subtle LIBERAL attacks on Rush STILL. This is what other posters have already noted here on this thread--Whitlock is playing

CYA

to avoid a justified lawsuit that Rush would win in a New York minute, LOL.

Musta grated on his last nerve to have to write some of these words, though. Wish we had video, LOL! :-)
