To start, those are just a few of the reason why I do not give Rush a pass with that portion of his comment.

Donovan McNabb - I don't know enough about his football skills to agree or disagree with Rush's assertion that he got more hype because of his skin color. Are you saying that it is impossible for Rush's statement to be true? (I don't know - I'm asking seriously, not rhetorically.)
Halle Berry / Halfrican American - I didn't know what you were referring to here and had to Google it. I am not black, and so I do not presume to pass judgment on the offensiveness of this situation. I have learned a lot from reading the other race wars on GC that what I might think is okay - really is not. So if this offends you as an African American, so be it. I won't tell you you are wrong.
Barack the Magic Negro - That term originated from an African American
columnist, not Rush.
Curious George - That came from a
caller to his show, not Rush.
Again, I don't think any amount of discussion or persuasion will ever convince you that Rush is right about anything. And that's OK. I do read your posts and your opinions on GC because I realize that unless I am truly informed about the ideas and opinions of those with whom I disagree, I cannot say that my own opinions have been generated without examining all sides of an issue.
I did enjoy your photos from the inauguration.
