A worthwhile article, but basically a long way of saying "South Park uses racial humor to poke fun at our differences; Don Imus was pretty much just ridiculing the Rutgers players."

Meanwhile, the author himself engages in broad stereotyping when he identifies College Republicans as bigots. I spent not just a few minutes but a few *years* hanging out with CRs and not once did I hear anything as awful as he claims is commonplace among CRs.

Well, I never attending any meetings among the CRs (obviously), and I would defend the reputation of those who I know who were involved with the CRs at IU - all people representing the best and most thoughtful of the conservative side - however, Rush Limbaugh's attempts to poke fun at Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on the radio earlier today were horrifyingly racist in tone and, arguably, content. So while the IU CRs are certainly decent and tolerant folks, I'm not so sure what goes on behind closed doors at other gatherings of certain conservative elements considering that Rush Limbaugh, a standard-bearer of the movement, is willing to play with overtly racist "humor" openly on his show.

Any kind of partisan political humor has the potential to sound just plain contrived, unamusing, and even offensive, but the stuff on his show is downright awful.

What did he (Rush Limbaugh) say?
