    There's the 'marginalization' tactic again. When you know you're wrong and have no further argument to support your position, marginalize the opposition. Pure Alinskyite tactics.

    Ruch got screwed. You couldn't point to a racist comment and neither could anyone else. Those that made claims that Rush made comments about "slavery" turned out to be full of crap. There is no incident that anyone can point to that makes him inelligible to be an NFL owner. You know it, we know it, and you have no counter to that argument. So instead you call anyone who doesn't agree with your position "insane" in an attempt to marginalize the opposition.

    You guys on the left are sooooo predictable.

    Maybe Jeffrey Lurie should be dumped from the league . When he signed Vick he said before he would sign him ;he would need to see from Vick "a lot of self-hatred in order to approve this."

    The white owner of the Eagles needed to see self hatred from a black player before he would sign him... hmmmmm!! Why does he still have a franchise ?

    Keith Olberman made the comments Steve cited in the OP against an Asian American commentator . Olberman is not employed by the NFL ,but one of his roles in the NBC network is as a punster on the Sunday Night football "Countdown" . Why is there no outrage for his blatantly (sourced and confirmed ) comments against an Asian-American ?

    Discrediting a future Hall of Fame QB saying the media only wants him to be good because he is black is racist. When Chad Pennington took over as the Jets QB and won a measly 7 games the media was talking like he was the next Joe Namath. Chad Pennington SUCKED where was Rush at bashing him? No where could it be because he was white?

    ET did you miss the beginning of my post where I said the reason he was insane? Here it is again:

    The sad thing about it is the NFL commissioner came out the other day and basically said your comments about McNabb offended the NFL and we don't want you in the league. And Rush's reaction, That is not the reason I was dropped. It is the left and the democratic party trying to kill conservatism.

    There is no Fast Food League that McD, BK, and Wendys, belong to. Maybe you haven't notice the NFL symbol on Every teams Jersey. The NFL is the ruler of these teams, You either play by their rules or you don't play. Maybe you poison yourself with that so called food but I care about myself too much to even think about eating that crap.

    Tom killing animals is not a black or white thing. You are twisting what Lurie said. He wants Vick to hate himself for what he did not because of the color of is skin. But nice try.

    Tom Olberman didn't make a racial slur. He called a person a bag of meat. How is that anti Asian?

    Actually, since I only eat Kosher, I happen not to eat Micky D's or BK or Wendy's. But that's besides the point.

    So... the NFL is the "ruler". Interesting that you should use that term. That is the very thing that anti-trust laws are SUPPOSED to prevent... the NFL becoming a "ruler".

    And the fact is that Rush wasn't dropped because of racism. He was dropped because people don't like his politics. So he was right about that.

    Furthermore, the comments that Rush made about McNabb were not only NOT racist (seeing as they were aimed at the MEDIA and not at McNabb), they were also true. His comment was not that McNabb isn't a good quaterback. His comment was that the only reason that the media was paying that particular player any attention is because THEY are racists (or reverse-racists, which is the same thing) who never expected that a black quarterback could make good in the NFL. The comment itself wasn't racist. It was in fact pointing out the racism of the mainstream media.

    As it turns out, McNabb IS that good. But that doesn't mean that Rush's comments were wrong. The comments didn't disparage McNabb for being black. They disparaged the MEDIA for giving McNabb more credit than he deserved AT THAT POINT IN HIS CAREER solely because he was black.

    I have accepted that the NFL is the Ruler of these teams a long time ago. If you don't like do something about. If not then Shhhhhhh.

    Here you go decide for yourself if McNabb didn't deserve the credit the big bad media (which Rush is a dominate member of) gave him. I have to put it in a link it looked like a mess when I tried to post it. Of course don't use anything after 2003.

    Already been there, Spit. Rush was criticizing the media and political correctness and he plainly said it was the Eagles defense that carried the team at he time. He was criticizing McNabb's performance, not his blackness, while making the point that the media was praising his performance because of his blackness.

    I don't think this is relevant, he has regularly commented on the performance of NFL players and teams for years and years. Whether it's been Pennington or not I'm sure he's said plenty about white players. I've shown more than enough evidence to prove he isn't a racist, but then again those blacks he's honored and surrounded himself with probably aren't legitimately black.

    Ok speech lets play this game. Here is just one of his racist quotes:

    Limbaugh on Survivor series: "African-American tribe" worst swimmers, Hispanics "will do things other people won't do." On August 23, 2006, Limbaugh suggested that the competition in a season of CBS' Survivor, in which contestants were reportedly divided into competing "tribes" by ethnicity, "is not going to be fair if there's a lot of water events." In support of this assertion, he cited a March 2, 2006, HealthDay article reporting that "young blacks -- especially males -- are much more likely to drown in pools than whites." He later added that Hispanics have "probably shown the most survival tactics," that they "have shown a remarkable ability to cross borders," and that they can "do it without water for a long time, they don't get apprehended, and they will do things other people won't do." On his September 29, 2006, show, Limbaugh claimed "[t]here can only be one reason" Survivor scrapped "segregated" competition after two episodes -- "the white tribe had to be winning."

    I didn't get that interpretation at all out of Elliot's remarks. Especially since he made it quite clear, "They disparaged the MEDIA for giving McNabb more credit than he deserved AT THAT POINT IN HIS CAREER solely because he was black." Rush didn't direct a "racist comment" at the media or anyone else, he was commenting on political correctness.

    No, I still get your point quite clear. Mine is he never said anything remotely as inflammatory as you portrayed it - regardless of your point. You took it to a whole other level, you exaggerated wildly, you purposely tried to make it seem far worse than it was, and that's the spin.

    FYI, Tony Dungy weighed in and he was of course a voice of reason, "I don't like it when people say, 'Because of this, he shouldn't be allowed to do that ... because of the way this guy looks, because of the way he sounds, because of his political bent, that he shouldn't allowed to own a team.' And that's something that the 28 owners should decide and not the general public."

    That's not what I said. You obviously have lost your ability to READ as well as think.

    Rush never said anything remotely like what you posted. He never called McNabb the N-word. He never said that McNabb wasn't a good player. What he said was that McNabb hadn't earned his spurs in the NFL yet, and that all the accolaids he was receiving from the media were UNDESERVED, and that he was receiving them solely because he was black.

    Seems to me that YOU are the racist for using the N-word. Even if you were using that racist word to criticize racism where you claim to see it.

    In fact... you are about as racist as Rush Limbaugh is.

    Rush said that the MEDIA was being racist, stated where they were being racits, and got called a racist for it. You are criticizing me as a racist... and even used the N-word.

    How does it feel to be called a racist for criticizing the racism of others?

    With the damage already done, Huffpo retracted the false quotes used in the Rush witch hunt.

    Rick Sanchez of CNN gave a half-a$$ed apology on Twitter. Did he mean it or did he just not want Rush reminding people of his little DUI incident that resulted in the death of a pedestrian any more?

    Lastly, in February of last year Gary Kamiya told us it was OK for whites to vote for Obama because he's black. I'm sure it was just as OK for mainstream white media types to want McNabb to succeed because he's black... it just wasn't OK for anyone to say so.

    I hope you Rush haters out there are patting yourselves on the back today, I just really, really hope George Soros is part of the Checketts group. Can't wait to see the how THAT test turns out.

    Turns out that NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith served as counsel to AG Eric Holder and was a member of Obama's transition team.
    Smith of course was very outspoken against the bid to purchase the Rams by Rush .

    Word to Smith . The NFL CBA is coming up soon and what he should be worrying about is a lockout by the owners... and not who the owners are. Liberal owners will also lock you out. I'm sure the players he represents are more concerned with green $$$$ than black and white.
