Is Rush Limbaugh a stupid dick because he grew up in a society that teaches white men that every thought they express is astonishingly profound and special? I'm just asking questions.

Wingnuts are very into selective empathy; all of a sudden their heart breaks for murder victims in Chicago if it means they can make some convoluted point about how George Zimmerman didn't do anything wrong.
