John King just brought up Wanda Sykes Limbaugh joke....AGAIN!
Hey John King, shove it up your hypocritical ass! How many times have you used your air time to ask if Limbaugh "went over the line?"

What's the matter, John Boy? You afraid she hurt (your) Boss Limbaugh's feelings? The man is scum of the earth, and frankly, Wanda Sykes joke about Limpballs pails in comparison to the countless hateful and disgusting remarks that asshole has said not just since Obama has been in office, but over his entire career of being the leader of hate in America.

Hey John King, get bent!

I never once heard him criticize Palin for equating Obama with
terrorists. And she wasn't doing a comedic routine. Why does he think Wanda was over the line, and not Palin/McCain?

Palin's entire campaign was a comedic routine.

28. limpbaugh was "the entertainer" for
years..hatin' on America.

Wanda Sykes calls him on his shit at a high profile WPC dinner and "Who's the Entertainer NOW" :)

and grabbing your ankles, he's describing his latest view of John King.

11. King is spouting today's GOP talking point
Well, apparently earlier he said this, which I missed but was related to us by FrenchieCat:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8399555&mesg_id=8399555

Then later I was watching his State of the Union show and he had Hilary Rosen and Mary Matalin on and he said the same thing, that Syke's joke about Limbaugh was "over the line" and of course Mary Matalin, being the hypocritical POS she is, went on about how this just goes to shows how liberals "personally attack" people, blah, blah, blah....

Of course, King failed to point out that Limbaugh has made a career out of personally attacking people!

41. LIBERALS personally attack people? Matalin is funnier than any comedian. Has she
ever listened to Rush's show?

Does she realize that Sykes is a comedian, while Rush poses as a political commentator?

When people shoot up church congregations because of something a comedian says, we'll know the comedian went over the line.

12. This is not a bad thing. A big majority of people don't like Rush, and
Wanda's getting all kinds of attention. She's probably thrilled. And the whiney media just sounds like they're trying to protect Rush Limbaugh. They're really not much different than the GOP, who runs crying to Rush every time he says something bad about them. There's a reason CNNs ratings are in the toilet.

Let them continue to make fools of themselves.

14. I saw John King laughing his ass off during Wanda Sykes' routine
Yes, he had so much fun he has to pretend hard to have the opposite view now. Someone might question his 'loyalty' and smack him down.

16. Fear of Being Labled "Liberal" Media
by the leader of the GOP.

Besides, he doesn't want to have to go back on the air and denounce something negative he might have said about said leader.

17. He just played the clip AGAIN and asked Hilary Rosen if SHE thought it was "over the line," and she
said NO, it's fair game. Rush likes to fall back on the line that he's as much an entertainer as anything and so Wanda is an entertainer, too, and it's fair game.

19. Good one! I'd forgotten that the right often defend Limbaugh's disgusting comments
by saying he's just an entertainer. So glad she tossed that comment right back at them !

18. King let Mary Matalin defend him - She said Rush doesn't attack people personally
But that Rush's program is only all about discussing Conservatism. Yet Wanda attacked him "personally".

Then KIng ended the segment without allowing Ms. Rosen to rebut.

What a load!

21. Mary wouldn't have gotten her distinguished position as Dick the Torturer's champion if she
wasn't able to lie very comfortably. So she's at it again, smooth and easy, ignoring all the hateful personal attacks Rush the Entertainer has launched at lots of people.

23. In another thread Hissyspit pointed out how Rush went after Michael J. Fox
That was an excellent example of how Rush has gone after an individual personally. Rush made fun of Fox's disability asserting that Fox exaggerated the symptoms.

Yup, Mary lies without batting an eye.

26. I remember that! Very personal attack from "just an entertainer" Rush.
Not funny at all.

Let's hope whatever liberals manage to slip into the panel discussions remind the right wing blowhards about that special bit Rush did.

An award for telling lies with such authority and without batting an eye.

and run them alongside Mary's picture during the segment.

Top 10 Racist Limbaugh Quotes
By Casey Gane-McCalla October 20, 2008 9:45 pm

1. 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.

2. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray . We miss you, James. Godspeed.

3. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?

4. Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.

5. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

35. Yeah, slavery had merit like the torture he approves of
Ends justify the means in his world.

As for the rest - a gold mine to help any of us make a point about Rush and his followers. Thanks for posting this!

37. He sure did...
In fact, I was out in the field working in social services and had his program on the car radio at the time. It was disgusting. Later that day, I called the station to register a complaint. Not that it did any good but you have to do it.

20. what a little punk
I actually wondered if the joke that they would try to create a fake controversy on would be the Palin one, but since the camera shot to Michael Steel laughing at that one, I guess they couldn't. In the words of Wanda "Oh, too much? Please, you'll be telling your friends that one tomorrow."

24. I guess these people have never seen/heard Sykes before. She was actually tame
I think she's great of course. But when you invite someone like her, you have to expect her to "go there" at least a couple of times in her act.

I mean, come on. This is ridiculous.

But 24 news has to have something to talk about...
