Sad, but Rush Limbaugh appears to be the only person who can use slurs

and face no consequences.

Riley Cooper's use of the "N" word is disgusting and unforgivable. It's use is and was designed to dehumanize an entire race of people. Like Oprah said, when she hears that word, she thinks of the thousands of African-Americans who heard that word as the last one they would hear before being hung from a tree.

Like I told my wife, the use of the "N" word, to me, is the same as using the "W", "C", or "S" word when talking about women. Think of the thousands of women and girls who have heard those words as they were raped or beaten.

I do believe in second chances, and I do believe that Cooper is remorseful and will have to tread a long rode to "put this behind" him. Any punishment that the Eagles, the NFL and the fans demand for Cooper should be enough to send the strongest of messages regarding the use of the "N" word.

It's disgusting that a pig like Limbaugh can use an equally dehumanizing term and still be on over 600 radio stations in this country.

That's why I continue to write and call ANY ADVERTISER, ON ANY PROGRAM, ON ANY STATION that carries Limbaugh, and tell them that "I will not support ANY advertiser that buys ad time on ANY station that give Limbaugh a platform to spew his bile.

It matters not that they may demand that their ads not be run during Limbaugh's time-slot. By buying time on ANY program on a station that carries Limbaugh is supporting a platform for him.

1. I honestly thought he would catch hell for using that word.

over and over. He's lost most of his advertisers already because he called that woman a slut, and I thought this might be the last straw. Silly me. I guess you're bulletproof when you have Exxon, BP, and the Kochs backing your show.
