I'm white too, btw ... Canuck dairy farmers on the mom's side and West Virginia hill-billies on the dad's.
Trouble is ... when he mocked working class and underclass African Americans, he was mocking my son.
I tend to take that personally ... so I left the program alone after that.
We heard very different things, I guess.
I was listening then too . . . . and didn't hear it the same as you did so you are right.
Rush uses satire to point out things.
I am looking forward to hearing what he has to say today - his show starts in about 40 minutes and I've got to get ready for work so I'm gonna have to leave all you nice folks! See ya later.
