Reply #37: I remember when Rush Limbaugh got his start...

[tjwash]

...in the late 80’s working for KFBK in Sacramento. He gained his popularity by playing a laugh track and cheering as he read off names of gay men who had died of AIDS. His callers, of course, would follow suit, and call in constantly sniping tasteless jokes such as "what do you call a fag in a wheelchair?--roll-aids" or "what do you call a fag in Alaska?--cool-aids." More examples of conservative values, and what they would consider good character.

I guess this is a long winded way of saying no I don't think the shit is funny at all. As a matter of fact, it speaks volumes about the people that use that sort of garbage as humor. Really funny people tend to use that similarities in us all to strike humor, instead of relying on our differences.

Rush also stole another term from a caller, that became a de facto trade mark for his brainless rants---"feminazi". There were many tasteless jokes, and sound bites associated with that as well, but that's a different subject altogether.
