Has Rush Limbaugh ever denied that he's a racist?
Has anybody ever asked him? What's on the public record?

1. Sure, all the time
He just says "I'm friends with plenty of those people."

2. He welcomes black callers
as long as they take the bone out of their nose first. (yes, he did say that to a caller)

3. basically he says he is a conservative and that is why people
call him a racist and a sexist which he denies being. Perfect circular logic.

IOW if you call him a racist, something must be wrong with YOU.

7. Rush panders the GOP base which includes racists, many of whom
belong to the working class. They are duped into voting against their own economic best interest by the GOP which convinces them that there is a "Black" or "Brown" or "Yellow" or "Red" menace and that "White" people have to stick together.

Rush, being a rich man, knows that race does not mean shit. A filthy rich brown man is a filthy rich man. A dirt poor white man is dirt poor. So, no, Rush is not racist in the same way that the GOP racist base is racist. He is something much worse.
