His McNabb comments were directed at the sports media . What happened to Rush this week is a lynching pure and simple... a lynching led by racist Al Sharpton ,who once called a white store owner a white interloper and stereotyped Jews as diamond merchants. Also leading the charge was Jesse Jackson who once called NYC hyme-town.

The coward Dave Checketts ,who destroyed Madison Square Garden and the NY Knicks will also destoy the Rams if he gets the franchise. Rush is actually lucky to get dumped from the group .

But if I was Rush ,with all his resources,I'd make life miserable for all those who slandered and libeled him this week

Goodell said "I have said many times before, we're all held to a higher standard here...I would not want to see those kinds of comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL. No. Absolutely not."

What kind of comments? What did he base that on, what the media was saying, quotes they can't back up? What higher standard, one that only gives certain people the benefit of the doubt? One that only gives certain people a chance to be heard?

If I were Rush I would probably react the same way only I wouldn't have been that kind. He's not running for anything, he never claimed to be the head of the Republican party, and the left, the media, the Democrats have absolutely assailed him based on dubious quotes, quotes out of context - most of which were jokes. These people have had a humorectomy or a lobotomy or something.

Anyway, like I said this is bigger than Rush Limbaugh, this post was about the hypocrisy in the media and all over the left side of the fence. They can now pat themselves on the back as they've not only succeeded in their hate campaign against Rush, they've begun a new era where private citizens are no longer free to enter into a legal business transaction without interference from the thought police.

By the way, McNabb looks like a great play this week. I bet even Rush would use him on a fantasy team at the right time :)

Hello again, tom:

It was. But, what's good for the goose...

Back to the drugster... He lost 85 pounds recently... Hmmmmm... Instead of oxy, I'll bet he's been hitting the meth pipe.

PS> By the way, what does it matter WHO his racist comments were directed at?

Actually your comment has the same validity of the unsourced comments he allegedly was accused of saying . It's the equivalent of "when did you stop beating your wife" ?

Hello Steve:

What surprises me, is that the limp dude is surprised at this reaction... He actually, ain't no brighter than Sarah Palin, is he?

Hello again, tom:

You know, under ordinary circumstances, I'd have a LOT of sympathy for someone who got caught up in addiction...

But, the drugster?? It ain't going to happen... In SPITE of his own ordeal, and in SPITE of his brush with PRISON, he is STILL a staunch supporter of putting people EXACTLY like him, in jail.

He IS the most despicable man in the universe.

It's hilarious . But like Steve says ;he is not running for public office so he has nothing to lose if he points a double barrel legal challenge at all those who did not have the integrity to source check before they misquoted him... especially in the MSM... but also the NFL (like I pointed out yesterday ,they are vulnerable to anti-trust challenges) .

Here is a partial list of public officials and their well sourced quotes who have not lost job or business opportunities for what they have said .

Howard Dean... “I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.”

Dean again : “You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? … Only if they had the hotel staff in here.”

VP Joe Biden explains why southern Democrats should vote for him: “My state was a slave state.”

Former Klansman Robert Byrd : “I've seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.

Democratic Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin :“I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day.”

Steny Hoyer speaking about Michael Steele's : “[He has] a career of slavishly supporting the Republican Party.”

VP Joe Biden again :“You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent … I'm not joking.”

And there are many more .

I can't comment one way or the other . I actually rarely listen to him and have not heard him comment much about drug addiction or drug law enforcement . My guess is you are right in that he probably has not modified whatever positions he takes .But I also suspect his position is much deeper than you characterize it.

Hello again, tom:

Deeper, schmeeper... He's an ideologue who could NOT see past his own ideology into his real life... That's not deep. That's BLIND HYPOCRISY. More importantly, its DANGEROUS!

Speech you know what this is like. This is like a child who gets in trouble in school and blames everyone but himself. He said what he said about McNabb and instead of Manning up he points the finger. It wasn't that Sarah Palin gave stupid answers to simple questions no, that diabolical fiend Katie Kuric was out to get her. When are the people in your party going to MAN UP and take responsibility for what comes out of their mouth?


But on to important things McNabb should have field day against DA RAIDERS. Then again my grandma could also and she died 3 years ago. The only bright spot for Oakland is a Def Back they have named Nnamdi Asomaugh. He is a shut down corner. I was reading about him and last year in 16 games his side was only thrown to 13 times for 110 yards No touch downs. That is pretty amazing.

Hello tom:

You wouldn't be saying, would you, that private business doesn't have the right to do business with WHOM it wishes to do business with?? You're not saying, are you, that they should be forced by the public, to do the publics will??

Nahhh... You wouldn't say that, because it sounds positively liberal.

I was at the Giants Raiders game last week. The only reason they weren't skunked was that the refs blew a replay . I lost some points in FF because a Def.touchdown was overturned.

Most of the fans filtered out in the 3rd qtr. But with construction of the new Giants/Jets stadium parking is a nightmare at the Meadowlands and it took over an hr. to leave the lot.
Next time I will tailgate after the game.

The Raiders are living proof that if you do not have a good owner you are not going to have a good team.

Your right I'm not saying that . I'm saying that what happened to Rush probably violates anti-trust laws ,and certainly violates restraint of trade principles and laws.
Since when does a business owner get to choose the owner of a competing franchise ?

Actually it's not, it's exactly as I said or better as tom put it, a lynching. Did you read the quoutes he offered? Congressmen, a mayor of a major city, the former head of the DNC and the sitting VP have made more blatantly racist comments and they still have a job. We have an obvious tax cheat and liar heading the committee that taxes Americans and hate-mongering liars as House and Senate majority leaders. Not only do they still have jobs, their work personally affects the lives of millions of American. They want to overhaul an entire industry, healthcare, and they just infringed on on one of our most cherished and basic rights in free speech when they passed their hate crimes bill. Rush just loves football.

There's a slight difference in one man or one woman speaking their mind and the members of a majority of an industry (the media) and countless bloggers and elected officials setting their vicious sights on that one man or woman in a coordinated lynching. Oh, and that crips and blood comment, he did man up yesterday and say he should have put it another way.

Only problem for the Raiders is Nmandi can't cover the whole field by himself. The Raiders are baaaaaad.

So basically what you are saying is the same thing that I'm saying... that the football owners are acting as a monopoly in violation of anti-trust laws to block a specific individual or group of individuals from entering the industry.

And you don't have a problem with that?

He should have came out a while ago and said he was wrong about that. I know that the bloods in Trenton aren't pulling sharpies out of their socks they are pulling guns out of their waste band. They aren't stashing cell phones they are stashing crack rocks or heroin

The Raiders have always been my second team from the first time I saw Bo Jackson blow by the entire Seahawks defense. He was amazing. It makes me sick what Al Davis has done to them. You can't get a new coach every year or half a year. It isn't going to work. You can't draft people just because they can run a 4.2 Forty. The man is stuck in 60's 70's and 80's.

ET I like at it like this. I don't care if the NFL is a Monopoly. They provide me with entertainment once a week. I look at them as a private club. They can make their own rules and if you don't like it then you can go watch the UFL. Maybe Rush can buy one of their teams if he loves the sport so much!

I don't think it was an issue until now, Spit. That's just it, it was dragged up to lynch him. I don't recall any outrage until now.

What is he now anyway, like 90 years old? I was a bit of a Raiders fan in the Kenny Stabler days, now if I have to watch anyone besides the Boys it's the Colts, Saints or Texans.
