    Radio star approved as NFL owner
    No not Limbaugh, Fergie. While the media continuesto trash Limbaugh with false smears, the NFL has approved the smut singing, former meth addict Fergie as a partner with the Miami Dolphins.

    I guess these media hacks were too busy musing on killing Rush and fact-checking SNL to have any objectivity. What's sad is even Keith Olbermann (when not referring to Michelle Malkin as a "mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it" ) sort of defended Rush's bid to buy the Rams.

    Good to see the media on the ball and contributing to a more civil dialogue in this country.

    I expect your next thread will be about people being mean to Glen Beck? :)

    So you have a problem with a recovering meth head taking ownership but not a current Oxy abuser?

    "Look, let me put it to you this way: The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

    Those are Limbaugh's words. So are these:

    "I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back. I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."
    Sounds like a model owner!

    I suspect you think it's OK to joke about killing Limbaugh?

    The funny thing is that Mardge Shott owned the baseball Cinn. Reds for at least a decade spewing real racial hatred for years. It did not stop minority ball players from playing for the Reds.

    Rush has an audience of 20,000,000 .I'd be willing to bet most of them are football fans .Does the NFL want the impact of a mobilized fan base ? Rush is part of a group of investors wanting to buy the Rams. The other investors will pull out of the bid if they are denied and the most likely outcome will be the Rams leaving St. Louis for LA. I'm sure the city of St Louis will appreciate that !

    Spit . The media types who have been misquoting him had best be prepared to defend themselves in court.

    Where the hell did THAT come from? I hate it when you guys put words in people's mouths. It's such a discussion killer.

    Spit, context. The media and all the Rush haters love to take his quotes out of context and can't seem to figure out he's an entertainer. In the crips and bloods thing was he was discussing the antics of some pro football players, like T.O. taking out a sharpie and Joe Horn pulling out a cell phone after making TD's. He had a point, he thought it was "classless."

    I already linked to the dubiousness of both claims in the OP. The slavery quote? Where is it? Where's the transcript?

    Rush already has one NO vote for ownership.

    Colts' Irsay says he wouldn't approve Limbaugh as owner of Rams

    Hello:

    Rush Limprod has the right to lose money on the Rams just like anybody else does.

    So far you've laughed at me for defending the truth and mocked me concerning Beck (who I don't watch and putting words in my mouth), but you've ignored the OP where Chris Matthews mused about Killing Rush. Your silence on that says a lot.

    Ah Rush is on the radio which would make him part of the media.

    It is wrong to muse about killing anyone. Well some Raiders fans will disagree with that when it comes to Crazy Al. And I am sure some are musing about Killing Jamarcus How bad is he!!

    Speech I looked couldn't find anything about him going to rehab. You don't lose part of your hearing taking a little bit of Oxy. You have to be taking a lot. So if he was taking a lot he couldn't just stop taking them or he would be going through withdrawal. I never listened to Rush so did he have like a month of shows where he was throwing up on the air?
