My post on Rush's supposed racist comments has been cited on
Free Republic and now on on
BlogHer (in the comments both times) and thus I have had several visits from those looking into the topic. However, the citation is invariably to my earliest, and worst, post on the topic. Should anyone reading this have followed those links,
PLEASE read the following, as they provide much more information on this topic specifically:
A Request for Rush Fans
Wikipedia Absurdities
A few links touching on this topic, but dealing more generally with absurd quotes:
Mystery Quotes
They're Here! Mystery Quotes Revistied
Amusing "Truths"
A Mystery Quote, Several Dubious Quotes, More Boring Quotes, and One Very Bad Conclusion
Also, as Wikiquote is cited as a source, and as I find Wikiquote, and Wikipedia in general, very troublesome sources of misinformation, please read the following for some information about Wikiquote in specific and Wikipedia in general, and my thoughts on the problem with both (some also touch on this specific topic, other deal with matters of interest to conservatives, but not directly related to this topic):
Stop Confusing Me With The Facts!
Mystery Quotes
Wikipedia?
The Failure of Wikipedia
Opinion Masquerading as Fact
Funny Numbers
What is Wrong with Wikipedia?
Endangered Species
Sterility of Formal Economics
Deceiving Themselves?

A Request for Rush Fans

Now I know Why
Hopefully those links will provide a bit more complete picture of my thoughts.
