Tresy,

Open dissent was clearly evident by Serbians against Milosevic.  It was not
difficult to find - it was even broadcast on your US news channels.  In
Australia, there was even comments on our news channels that bombing could
hurt the local opposition parties (as it did in the same way that bombing
Iraq helped consolidate Hussein's power).

Whether you're racist or not is perhaps a matter for debate, but there can
be no doubt that you are unnecessarily patronising, and personalise what
should be rational discussion.  Before you start saying "I'm not the only
one" that's not the point.  If one person's doing it, it doesn't mean
everyone should.

Possibly because of the typical racism of conservatives.  While I haven't
had the pleasure of listening to Rush, we have our own set of demagogues
who exhibit appalling racism, and then when they're called racists they
complain about it.
