Just days after controversial radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh was dropped from a syndicate seeking to purchase the St. Louis Rams pro football franchise, the NFL announced that stiff fines, suspensions and possible banishment would face players, coaches or owners who engage in divisive rhetoric.

This may be a case of "instant karma". I was stunned to discover that one of Rush Limbaugh's fellow prospective "investors" was none other than … George Soros!
Upnorth, you tell me - what, are we told, happens when we "lie down with dogs"? Imagine the consequences if one were to "lie down with Soros"? ! ?
Sorry. Ick ! Don't imagine it - please !

Rush mentioned that Reuters had reported the soros connection yesyerday I was able to find a mention in a Bloomberg story, but the whole debacle stinks of a set up. What with the head of the (nfl) players union being an Obot, and on and on….
Rush said there was a silver lining to the whole thing….and if nothing else, we see (as usual) the pinko liberal spin in both the (supposed) news media and the sports media. They're all a bunch of hacks!

grrrr……

Limbaugh's remarks about the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback are one reason I'm not disappointed to learn that he is no longer part of the Rams deal.

Limbaugh's remarks a few years ago about the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback are one reason I'm not disappointed to learn that he is no longer part of the Rams deal.

Come on, Camo….did you listen to what he said or did you listen to what the leftie sports writers said he said?! He was bashing the left leaning sports media…..he was mocking them!
…and you can bold/italic too…. why oh why can't I?

It worked before the switch to intense debate….that's why I was confused! (I readily admit I'm html illiterate…)

He said that sportscasters were rooting for McNabb because he's black.
First of all, remember that I'm a Philly fan, and (other than playoffs) Eagles games are the only sports I watch. McNabb is therefore my quarterback, right or wrong…black, white or chartreuse. It was an uncool thing to say in any case; why make it a racial issue? IMO, that's just wrong, my being a Philly fan notwithstanding…

This faux Limbaugh broo-ha-ha was a muscle-flex by the enemies of the USA, seeking to drive wedges—some of that Sun Tzu stuff no doubt, going after the top and the bottom simultaneously—allowing the middle to get squished.
This article is a bit of a refresher course referencing certain events occurring after October 1, 1949 and it refreshed my memory; I was reminded of those people that were waving that red book around just 20 years later when I was 19 and living just off-off-campus of The Ohio State University. Of course, this reminder was the antithesis of uplifting—"Those zombies are running my country," I shuddered the thought. "Today."
I underestimated them. Probably because I thought Jerry Rubin was the worst author since Creation. He was Plan 9 from Outer Space in the strictest possible anthropomorphic sense.

Hm. Okay. You know I had to test and it does appear to work but I clicked "Edit" and voila! IntenseDebate had cleaned up the tags. Very nifty.

I never said I supported slavery and I never praised James Earl Ray. How sick would that be? Just as sick as those who would use such outrageous slanders against me or anyone else who never even thought such things. Mr. Wilbon refuses to take responsibility for his poison pen, writing instead that he will take my word that I did not make these statements; others, like Rick Sanchez of CNN, essentially used the same sleight-of-hand.

A careful analysis of exactly what Mr. Limbaugh said reveals an affirmation of the NFL's desire to bring to light the lack of black head coaches and quarterbacks. This is borne out by the many reports done by the sports media about this subject. He simply pointed out the obvious purpose of the reporting and its intent to promote diversity. The comment about McNabb specifically is a football opinion and there is nothing racial about it. Bottom line is that so many have been affected both plus and minus by our PC culture. Hyper sensitivity I say.
