He agrees with Emanuel saying they are retards. I don't see anywhere that he is attempting to do an imitation of Rahm. He is simply agreeing that the folks are retards.

He says directly "I am just quoting Rahm Emanuel"...

At that point he makes it clear he is using his own words against him/them... Which is a form of parody. Again, not my favorite form, but it is a form of parody.

I understand what parody is. I just disagree that this is parody as opposed to Rush being an asshole and calling people "retards" because he can get away with it since his political opponent used the term.

And he has used retard in an non-parodic context many times before.

And at those times it would not be parody. "I'm just quoting Rahm.." is a form of parody, not one that is entertaining, one that is quite jerk like, but it is a form of parody.

You're a total douchebag. I'm not disagreeing about what Rush said. I disagreeing with what he meant and whether he intended his comments to be "parody" or whether he used the term retard because he's an asshole and can get away with it since Rahm used it.

He was not just quoting Emanuel. He was agreeing with him and he did so in his own words.

"Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards,"

Rahm did not say this.

if you can't see that as a parody, you're dumber than i thought

he said the words solely due to rahm, that is a parody, he is making fun of rahm, else he wouldn't have mentioned rahm's name....
 
Damocles said:
Because he said he wasn't. When he came out to say how sorry he was for insulting the retarded people he made it clear he wasn't using parody.

Rush made it clear he was using their own words against them (parody)...

It makes it very clear.

Immanuel said he was not using parody?

I'll do a re-do....and try not to be so nasty.....don't take my insults personally Jarod....its only for show...actually to emphasize a point....

As you can see, I ignore the insults and read the substance of any posts, if there is any substance. The insults mean nuthing to me except maybe some disrespect for the person who hurtles them.

They just make Rush bigger. I fully believe (yes exaggerating here for the lefties) that 80% of Rush's audience are lefties trying to find a piece to take out of context to "attack" him with...

You do not have to take anything out of context to attack the guy.

what was rahm parodying?

I dont know that he was, I am merely asking if using parody makes it okay, how do we not know that Immanuel was not doing just that?

My personal opinion, parody or not its uncool.

BULLSHIT! He was defending Rahm. He was not saying it to show how over the top Rahm was or to make Rahm look bad. He clearly stated that Rahm was right to call them retards.

so you don't know, yet you're jumping around demanding to know if it wasn't a parody

:palm:
 
Rahm was not using parody and neither was Rush. The only significant difference in what Rush said was the absence of "fing".
 
even if it wasn't parody

how funny can libs get by placing rush on the same level as obama's chief of staff....

that says alot about obama and his peeps....but, but, but rush did it

Has Obama or the admin made a statement on Palin's double standard? Futher, I have not heard anyone argue that Rahm's comments are okay because Rush said it. The point is, why is Palin defending him while condemning Rahm.

I agree, Rahm's position makes his statement different, but that is not how Palin rationalized it.
