The LA Times has faced numerous budget cuts, and the quality of that distinguished paper appears to be taking a hit. In an opinion piece, Andrew Klavan, the author of this dribble, is asking liberals to listen to Limbaugh because what they really know about him has been taken out of context by the liberal media. Klavan writes "I listen to Limbaugh every chance I get, and I have never heard the man utter a single racist, hateful or stupid word."
- I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.
Okay Rush, slavery was not a good things for the millions of African Americans who were enslaved, raped and beaten. The streets weren’t at all safe for African Americans. Slavery not a bad thing? Someone should put Rush on a plantation for him to see how great it is. Keep on fear and race mongering Rush, you might get to Goebels status.
- You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.
Martin Luther King is a national hero, not a black hero. Everybody in the United States celebrates his birthday, children are taught to look up to him as a hero in school. He’s earned the respect and admiration of the world and you believe the man who killed him was a hero? This is beyond racist. This is evil, mean spirited, subhuman. Praising the assassin of one of our great American heroes is beyond the scope of regular racism.
- Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?
No but I’ve noticed that all racist bigots think like Rush Limbaugh. Comparing a respected black politician and minister to common criminals is Jim Crow racism. Maybe all black people look alike to him, but I’ve never seen a picture of a wanted criminal that looks like Jesse Jackson. A serial killer that looks like Rush Limbaugh on the other hand.
Read the Rest Here. There are also videos of Limbaugh at that link that I would like Mr Klavan to watch. Before he published an Op Ed in the LA Times, he should have done more research. So-called conservative writers seem to short on facts these days. Does Mr. Klavan's piece represent incompetence or lies? Or does his statement about what he has heard personally let him off the hook?

How hard would it be to find hateful and stupid things that Rush has said? I would say these quotes qualify for those categories as well. I'll leave it to you to find more.
Media Matters had the same idea I did and came up with their own quotes from just the past month.
Los Angeles Times is not worth the paper it's printed on.
It's very representative of the far-right ideology that Southern California gave to the rest of the US and the world.
It's been years since I even touched a copy of the LA Times.

It's also amazing how much crap Rush and O'Reilly manage to get away with.
I sold my BMW because BMW paid O'Reilly a fortune to continue blabbering his nonsense. I think I'll need to do more. We all need to organize and picket BMW dealerships. If BMW won't stand down, then burn the dealerships, and burn BMW North America's New Jersey headquarters and South Carolina plant. (So long X6, the most overrated piece of junk.)

Quote #2 is 100% FALSE, and you should do your research before defaming someone.
