Rush is clearly adversarial and targets individuals and groups to be attacked on his show. I suppose attacking political opponents might qualify as 'hateful' from some perspectives especially if you identify with the attackees; however you would be hard pressed to find political spokes persons who don't qualify. I doubt you can justify the comment that he 'wants the country to fail.' Dr Laura is a conservative who advises people suffering from personal issues and who regularly expresses her philosophy about societal issues. Why is that hateful?

I have Chinese and Japanese living in my block. Their grandparents went through the Japanese internment camps and Angel Island segregation. I even asked one of the surviving grandmother (close to 98 years now) about the internment camps. These folks do not want to talk about it. They say they have moved on, and it seems that they want to close that dark chapter and look ahead. Should we take a cue from this about 9/11 and move on. Besides, there are so many who sacrificed their lives for this country such as in Korea, Viet Nam, Pearl Horbor etc. I don't hear their survivors raising the issue of having lost loved ones at every point along the way. I wonder, how much is the noise from the relatives of those we lost during 9/11 and how much of it is from vested interests such as Limbaugh, Hannity etc.

Manalagi, > Both Laura and Rush are spewing hatred. Especially Rush who wants the country to fail. Neither of them are spewing hatred. Dr. Laura stands up for strong families and strong parental responsibility. The handwringing over the N-word is just an excuse to silence another conservative voice. "Mission accomplished." Rush doesn't want the country to fail. He wants Obama to fail, because to him, Obama's success would mean the country will fail. Tenchusatsm
