Look, I’ve got my problems with some of the things Rush does and some of his views. He’s said a lot of stupid, insensitive things from time to time but I don’t believe he’s a straight up racist.

Uh - that’s pretty much what the article cited says. That Rush may not be a racist.

But he is unquestionably a race-baiter. He deliberately makes racially tinged remarks in order to titillate his audience, encouraging them to embrace their own racism with a wink and a nod.
