A History of the Rush Racist Quote Lie
Howie updated with a link earlier, but this deserves its own post. Here is a history of the fake James Earl Ray praise quote being attributed to Rush. This was debunked back in ... 2005!
And the link above? From last June. This has been around for awhile and it shows that people are willing to believe lies when those lies mesh with their worldview.
Like, conservatives are all secret racists.
So, a racist quote attributed to Rush Limbaugh goes unchecked because, hey, we all know Rush is really a racist, right?
Pay close attention to how the date on the quote changes over time to make it seem more legit.
Give it a few more years and we'll find the original. Dating back to the late 60's. Typed on an IBM Selectric II.
