I personally am not a fan of rush but it's great exposure for e-cigs.

i'm confused... is it s secret that black people like menthol?

[Roober]

LOL i used to bring my buddy Dion my mistys and she complained the whole time they werent menthol. Shes a skinny black girl, used to call me her twin sister cause I'm a big white girl LOL. And its not a secreet, newports in a box are probably the best sold smokes out there next to marbles (marlboros), it aint a co-inki-dink!

[BreakingBad]

What a numb nut!

[Schizophretard]

I think they are being a little too picky with their political correctness.

[FTJoe]

I object more to him using the words "the brothers" than the stereotyping.

[Schizophretard]

What do you object to about those words?

Besides the fact that its objectionable? You're pretty much one step away from the word that moron broadcaster used more than a dozen times and is crying her rights are being trampled while she tried to make a point. I have the same objection over the word whiteys, honkeys, and any other complete generalization of a group of people. not to mention its by a person like Rush who like any terrorist "leader" uses fear and stereotypes to gather an audience of like minded people.

[Schizophretard]

I don't know much about Rush's terrorist organization but to me it didn't sound like someone being racist but an old man trying to sound hip in describing e-cigs.

His terrorist organization is huge and about to take over the world, wake up!!! ;-)

I believe I said, like terrorists. "Camps" of people are built by categorizing other people, bleeding heart liberals, brothers, Muslims, Jews, etc. Its classifying folks to make yourself feel better than another group or to have someone to blame for something or when we need to kill another group of people. We make up names to de-personalize them. That's basically how the terrorists work, oh and the tea party ain't much better these days post Ron Paul. "There, those folks, its their fault, get em". I also take offense when I hear Rush lumping me in with his camp as well, 50+ white, hard working, etc. I don't like categorizing and I don't like being categorized. And I'm pretty sure Rush is saying it to be inflammatory.

[NeRo9k]

Rush is no thanks.

[BEERCITYVAPRZ]

I'm white and I smoked menthols and my main vape is menthol, Hundrers of millions of other races besides as rush says "brothers" smoke menthols too, I think stupid rush needs to eat some more vicodin and rat pioson, The bright side of this is that Ecigs are getting exposure (but not from the right person).

Though I think any endorsement is good I don't think attaching this guyz name helps much. One human being I truly think the world can use to be less visable.

He'll never get over that Brown Phalic Obsession, doubt he ever did put that "Hillbilly Heroin" away and my son explained why he had all that Viagra, seems the "Club" mix at that time was called an E.V. Cocktail...Exstacy (sp?) & Viagra...God knows he needs all the help he can get.

Surprised you lot havent picked up on this line yet...

"there is no tar, no nicotine, there is no nothing"

Besides the obvious grammatical foible from a communications professional, well.......yes, there is nicotine, that is the POINT!!!

I know, I know, he could have 0 nic but that is clearly not what he meant....

Not being savvy to Rush and his personality... I've only listened to one show ever..oops, make that two now... I would have assumed he was talking to his radio producer (like Rozz on Fraizer) when he mentioned the brothers. I could even visualize him lifting the ecig and pointing it to Rozz and giving the "should try it or mention it to your brothers who still smoke tobacco" with a raise of the eyebrows and a nod of his head gestures.

But, I've been called naive before...

Are terrorists and tea party categories of people? When I don't de-personalize his comment by lumping him in with being like terrorists or the tea party, he doesn't sound inflammatory to me. You heard a category of people being inflammatory and I heard a person talking about e-cigs. It sounded so non-inflammatory to me that I never would of noticed him trying to be inflammatory without it being pointed out. For me to be offended I would have to want to be and try to be. I would have to be picky in my political correctness.

Yes they are categories, as defined by what they actually do or are, not what race/sex/religion they belong to. To be fair, I meant the tea party organizers, their web site was pretty militant at one point in time. I believe you get the distinction but I shall explain, I don't mind being called a "male", its what I am, I object to someone saying males are obnoxious and sexist, then I'm being categorized unfairly, its a prejudice.

I understand you may not be offended or even catch it, but the comment is meant to have his supporters go ooooooh, and his detractors go crazy and give him grief and free press. Most are used to it by now though.
