Oh no you didn't! You went back and told the truth!! You are not permitted to do that. Let them watch Richard Pryor videos in theatres filled with Black people CRY LAUGHING at his racist, gay, drug, sexist jokes! Then they can put on Eddie Murphie, Sam Kennison, etc. etc. etc. Not a F'ing thing wrong with it. It was comedy and it was funny as all hell.
I still replay many of these comedy routines on you tube and other venues. It is some of the funniest shit I have ever heard or watched. Do you remember Def Comedy Jam on HBO? Incredible!
Free speech does allow us to advocate hate which was at the core of Rush's beliefs.
That’s Parody and meant to be comedy and funny. We can agree or disagree whether it’s funny or not but all shock jocks do it. On both sides of the aisle. That’s talk radio. Again if you don’t like it don’t listen. I gave up Howard Stern years ago after years of listening because I thought his shtick got old. Same sex BS over and over again. In case you don’t know how he got fired off FM radio in DC I suggest you google it. Korean airline went down killing all on board over 200 and next morning he made a real bad joke about it and was fired on the spot.
Rush's parody went well beyond the norm and definitely beyond Stern's whom I've listened to many times.

I did read the article and it proves my point. Stern's work was not focused on racism or misogyny like Rush was. See the difference?Read CemsStern's Most Shocking Moments!
If controversy sells, then Howard Stern is entertainment's biggest pimp. He's made a career out of controversy, and dozens of imitators have followed in the shock jock's footsteps.Friday (Dec. 16) marks the end of an era as Stern says "Goodbye" to terrestrial radio, and "Hello" to future...
I don’t know Benny and Rochester but if your comparing Eddie, Redd and Richard to racist performers you may want to give them another listen. Eddie was toxically homophobic, Richard had some misogynistic content especially by today’s terms but racist? That would be like calling the Chappel Show racist. I think you may have missed the joke, that’s not a shot. Took my several times watching Ron White before I really got him and it was all the better for it. Don Rickles and Mel Brooks were nothing near racist.
And yet many renowned comedians of all races made fun of a variety of races including their own and others including self deprecating jokes about their own race and you know what? It was funny. It was funny because there was some truth or fable contained in the jokes. The world got a bit too serious here lately.
I was fortunate to be at and experience a Richard Pryor comedy act. I did not consider him racist back in the day however parts of his act today would be considered as racist. Eddie Murphy's SNL's Buckwheat routine is racist in today's culture.
I get your point however Limbaugh was not a comedian eventhough he may have thought his race or homophobic jokes were funny.
Sorry to disagree with both of you but Rush Limbaugh was not political nor a politician. He was a radio talk host who's show was about conservative political issues and those as they pertained to America. The fact that he built the largest talk radio show in history is because he was great at it WHETHER you liked him or not. He was no more a politician then any of us. Not political meaning he had no desire to run for any office.
Big question is are all folks who are in underserved communities vaccinated, folks who work in hospitals, clinics, 1st responders, patients in retirement homes, assisted living areas, retail outlets, food handlers and those who live in underserved communities, i.e., minorities???? Im not just referring to that community but State wide. All aforementioned should be vaccinated 1st. A major health crisis has been politicized. The evidence is crystal clear: DeSantis has rolled back the requirements of wearing masks due to heavy campaign contributions. Thank goodness UM administration has taken a stand. On the sideline all coaches, support personnel, players have been seen wearing masks. A clear indication DeSantis has completely disregarded advice from health experts. Hope he gets COVID_19
I agree he wasn't a politician, however his show and his success was as a conservative political talk show host. I believe he had to believe in what he was speaking about to be as successful as he was. I also feel his subjects were political for which he based his daily show's content on. JMO
All that is true and his goals were to get liberals to convert. No doubt about that
Desantis has done none of the above. I doubt you even live here or maybe blind. We must wear masks and he encourages wearing masks. Further he has prioritized seniors since they are most likely to die or become seriously ill which by the way is the CDC guidelines and what most if not all states are doing. This includes over 65 of every race. Further those high risk like cancer survivors etc. are able to get vaccinated. Broward County has recently petitioned the Governor to drop down to 59 as they are almost complete with the Seniors wishing to be vaccinated. Governor Desantis along with FEMA have just announced mobile vaccination vehicles to go into undeserved communities ( see Miami Herald feb 21) and lastly Florida is doing very well on covid and our testing and vaccination programs. So stop your sorry azz BS about Desantis
Where was the warp speed after FedEx and UPS were designated for the initial delivery????? Thats not on Joe or Kamala. There were numerous points of distributions that ran into snags. That shouldve been all worked out while #45 was still in office. BTW where was #45s warp speed when his administration were formally notified by US intel community on Jan 03, 2020?? He showed warp speed when he decided to play golf on Jan 4th and 5th, Jan 11th & 12th as well as the 1st 2 weekends in Feb 2020.
The governor has no right to dictate who lives and who dies. Why did red districts get preferential treatment????
