“expressing a point humorusly” is not a license to be a bigot.
Take the SNL example, the whole show is “expressing points humorously” people are still all bent out of shape over a “joke” they deemed offensive.
There are plenty of Offensive things rush has said availabel online.
I’m not so interested in having you explain why each was “just a joke”
to avoid you saying I couldnt come up wit hany I’ll provide 2 examples.
One which Rush later admitted was offensive and “apologized” (though he did it 3 times). The other is less offensive but highlights the double standard among his supporters
1)in 1993 when Clinton was in the Whitehouse he held up a picture and introduced the world to “socks the white house cat” He then said “and here is the white house dog” with a picture of then 12 year old Chelsea Clinton.
I know Know , it was “sarcastic” and was trying to make a point.
He did variations of this “joke” 3 times
2) He often used the term “feminazi” (I once heard him clai to have coined it) I’m old enough to remember how ben out of shape people got when AOC called the camps on the southern border “concentration camps” How dare she minimize the holocaust. Yet rush described those who want equal rights for women as “nazis” (almost) daily and all is fine. Because hey He is being “humorous”
spare me
