Consequently, if you have license to judge Limbaugh for an allegedly
overt prejudice, one he claims not to have, do you likewise have the
hubris to criticize or condemn me if I were to judge the likes of
Barney Frank?

Now then, how do I "feel" about Rush Limbaugh? Limbaugh, like Michael
Moore, is a propagandist. He resorts to informal fallacy. He is
puerile in his mockery of others. He is far from someone I would care
to emulate or revere. However, as much as I find Michael Moore to be
offensive, I don't begrudge him making his 'documentaries.' I have as
much license to rebut and refute his campaign of disinformation.
Similarly, I don't begrudge Limbaugh having an ownership stake in an
NFL team. I have license and the freedom to not watch a Ram's game,
should I choose.

Hopefully, I can tie all of this together to make it somewhat
sensible. What would Jesus do about Rush? He would forgive him.

Regardless of any comments by jps, that was well done!

These folks sport their royal double-standards in the melee of
political conversation, and when it's shown that it's nothing but tin
foil, they lose their emblematic moral dilemma post haste. They're
like dodge convertibles, if you know what I mean.

As weary as I was last night, though, when I wrote this, I'm surprised
I was able to articulate any cogent thought at all. :)


I haven't really been following this thread, but what they heck...

I am _not_ a football fan. I don't see the big deal with Rush buying a team.
I believe the commissioner said that he (or was it other owners) would block
it since owners are expected to not make inflamatory public statements.
Also, I'm not sure why Rush would want to buy a team... I heard someone say
it's a perfect socialistic system, as the profits from TV are equally
divided. Perhaps Rush doesn't know this.. we wouldn't want his fat head to
explode! Ok, to give him some credit, he supposedly lost 85 lbs. recently.
lol

There's a touch of irony in this debate in that the fight for years
has been the effort to pierce the exclusive club mentality of certain
organizations such as the Boy Scouts, and now there's a necessity of
the exclusive club mentality of NFL ownership. If hypocrisy needed
the examplar of an anecdote, this would do.

Sources: Checketts to drop Limbaugh

By Adam Schefter
ESPN


Rush Limbaugh is expected to be dropped from a group bidding to buy the
St. Louis Rams, according to three NFL sources.

Dave Checketts, chairman of the NHL's St. Louis Blues and the point man
in the Limbaugh group attempting to buy the Rams, realizes he must
remove the controversial conservative radio host from his potential role
as a minority member in the group in order to get approval from other
NFL owners, the sources said.

Three-quarters of the league's 32 owners would have to approve any sale
to Limbaugh and his group. Earlier this week, Indianapolis Colts owner
Jim Irsay predicted that Limbaugh's potential bid would be met by
significant opposition. Several players have also voiced their
displeasure with Limbaugh's potential ownership position, and NFL
Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, who is black, urged players to
speak out against Limbaugh's bid.

Ultimately, the sources said, Checketts must reconfigure his group and
find another investor to make his bid more viable.

Exactly when Limbaugh will be dropped is uncertain, though some familiar
with the situation said it could be within the next week. It is unclear
if the two sides even have spoken.

A Limbaugh spokesman told ESPN that Limbaugh would have no comment on
Wedneday. Earlier, on his syndicated radio show, Limbaugh was defiant,
holding on to hope that he still could be part of the ownership group
that buys the Rams.

"I'm not even thinking of exiting," Limbaugh said on his program,
according to a transcript provided to ESPN. "I'm not even thinking of
caving. I am not a caver. None of us are. We have been betrayed by too
many who have caved. Pioneers take the arrows. We are pioneers. It's a
sad thing but our country over 200 years old now needs pioneers all over
again, but we do."

Without Limbaugh, Checketts and his group would have to find a financial
substitute to replace the investment that Limbaugh intended to make. At
the NFL owners meetings this week in Boston, NFL commissioner Roger
Goodell addressed Limbaugh's potential involvement in the league and
said "divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about."

Goodell added: "I've said many times before, we're all held to a high
standard here. I would not want to see those comments coming from people
who are in a responsible position in the NFL -- absolutely not."

In 2003, Limbaugh was forced to resign from ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown
after saying of Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb: "I think what we've had
here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very
desirous that a black quarterback do well."

I always liked Boy Scouts... they are so nice and helpful. The only thing
that bothered me was that they would _never_ buy the Girl Scout cookies when
I was a girl. They just walked by. lol

As I said, I don't know much about (or care about) FB. The whole sport seems
so contrived. Hockey I like. I don't understand it, but I like it. The funny
part is when they're in the penalty box and they still manage to get in
fights.

Are you certain you did? Looks like another entry from the Ponderosa.

Double standard nothing. I'm all for free speech until the free
speech details how we should curtail the civil rights or equal
protection of all.

That's why Nazi's have a difficult time getting permission to parade.

Rush is a step backwards in the evolution of civil society in America.
He's welcome to join any white-only club he desires with my blessing.
When it comes to participating in a sport that creates opportunity for
and can highlight african american men in a positive way, he's a
completely inappropriate partner.

You need only to have heard his comment about the NFL being crips and
bloods without weapons.

**** him in his ass with your dick. And thanks for offering.

I was wondering why Rush and a few other guys went to the Dominican
Republic with a huge bottle of Viagra.

Always liked the looks of the Sebring, but not knowing anything about
Chryco cars, never went after one.
Had a '55 Belvidere stick (actually my ma's) and had a '74 Dart
Swinger. It dad that good straight 6 but the body rotted like tin.
What do you mean by "they're like dodge convertibles?"
If it's something dirty, just try to suggest your meaning with some
delicacy. I'm pretty sensitive.

They have old dicks that don't work and there's lots of sweet young
boys in DR for rent.

Drug addled racist piece of ****.

I supposed that depends on what point in his life you're asking about.

Politics AND religion in a boating group. How nice. Good job, Donnie

I didn't know Donnie was responsible. If so, I'd like to commend him
on the fine job he's doing.

Shouldn't we mention Hitler while were at it?
