I guess everyone will have to use their own judgment. The way it sounded to me was mocking and callous.

Bobby Rush doesn't matter. I'd argue that most of the country has never even heard of him. But he has taken a lot of heat, particularly here in Chicago for his comments. It would be a bigger story I'd imagine if Bobby Rush mattered and had any national presence.

Randi Rhodes hardly represents the Democratic Party. Again, I doubt many people even know who she is. I have no doubt that she'd be irritating to listen to as most partisian talking heads are. But I do know there won't be Congressman, Governors, and the head of the Democratic Party groveling and asking for her forgiveness.
As for those people freaking out, I highly doubt they are. They love this. It's Christmas Day for the Democratic Party everytime he says stuff like this. The guy has huge unfavorables, especially amongst independents. When he says stuff like that it simply rallies their base and turns independents off from the GOP.
