Quick! Need to quote and cite Rush Limbaugh racist statements!
Once again, I'm arguing with a fool in alt.fan.dixie-chicks who says I can't "accurately quote and cite one racist thing Limbaugh has ever said." Please help me prove him wrong.

1. here is it
http://www.fair.org/articles/limbaugh-color.html

As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

3. I think the archives there are broken...
...unless I'm missing something. The guy might also want dates. Anybody know of anything like that?

5. There is a whole page just from September this year with dates??
To me that would be enough outrage for a month. Try his discussion boards there, there might be something there.

4. This guy ain't right...
He called FAIR "un-Fair", and said that Rush "disagreeing" with the NAACP, a liberal black Senator and Jesse Jackson isn't racist.

As for FAIR's Limbaugh page:

"Anything factual? Anything from a source other than radical fringe kook left-wing sources? Anything objective?"

He later called Bob Beckel a communist, and therefore not objective. Seems that anybody who isn't right-wing can't be objective.

Anybody have more?

7. It doesn't matter what site you use as your source...
if they are merely quoting what he said! They could be the Black Panther website, and it wouldn't matter if wha they say is the truth.
