I don't listen to Rush. Again, who really cares? Let Jackie Chan play James Bond.

Huh??? I read some of the Bond books when I was a teenager. I don't remember Bond being Scottish.
He's just an incredibly talented radio host that tells people what they want to hear, and promotes his brand, better than anyone else in radio.

I don't know about this Bond thing, but I remember thinking it was odd a few years ago when Notre Dame had a Black Leprechaun. Not only do I not think of the Notre Dame Leprechaun being Black, I don't think of him being Scandanavian, Eastern European or Mediterranean either, I think of him having red hair and freckles.

Friend of mine posted this on FB. Just out of curiosity I clicked the link he posted, it was a liberal site that posted weekly what Rush said. I went through the site, and all they did was bitch about what Rush said on the radio, suggesting he should be taken off air.
One thing I do like about Rush, the dude knows how to piss off liberals.

You know what is funny? I once listened to the guy after "controversial" things were said because of this reason alone. Then, when I would listen, I quickly realized what he said really wasn't controversial at all. It finally dawned on me a few years ago that liberals are going to pissed off no matter what.
Look at our country today. Lefties literally got almost everything they wanted politically with Obama and the dems in charge. Are they happy? frick no.
They will never be happy.
If they shut down Rush, they will just bitch about something else.

Rush must care about the James Bond movies more than I do. I haven't een the last 6 or 7 movies they've made. The only reason I watched them was for the women anyway.

The OP is out of context. I heard the whole thing live. Rush was being glib giving lots of other examples of characters who could change ethnicity demonstrating how silly it would be.

Bond doesn't. Rush is just butthurt.

You've missed out on at least two of the top 7-8 in the canon, then.

Hollywood has been lying and has been casting Egyptians as white people for 50+ years. Haven't heard a peep from you

I must have missed the day where Rush remembered to bitch about who played Noah, Moses, & Ramses this year.

We don't look a whole lot alike, but I'm generally making that face within seconds of clicking on the PB's front page.

In fact , we've casted Jesus as blue eye Caucasian man yet geographically, that may far from the truth.
Haven't heard an uproar from you all.
It seems like you all have no problem when historians or directors bleach history and our stories, but have problem when it gets colored

How long have you been posting here? Shining a bright light on the people who bitch about this kind of thing has absolutely zero effect on them. They live in a cocoon of delusion, intellectual dishonesty, and hypocrisy.

I actually approve of this. Southern European accents tend to be a little effeminate. British accents add just the right touch.

There you go again. Stereotyping all Southern European accents.

I agree about white washing. I had issues with Gods and Kings because of that.
Just as I don't support changing Middle Eastern or black characters to white, I don't support the opposite either.
