Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Rush denied minority stake in NFL team

This is honestly no skin off my back.  It’s the Rams, I’m not a Rams fan, etc.  If they move out of St. Louis, I’m pretty sure that will rank right there with the gross national product of the Cape Verde Islands on my “Who Gives a Crap?”-meter.  I also do not care if Limbaugh does or does not own part of any pro sports franchise.

That said, I think it’s pretty lame when you consider two main things: (1) Limbaugh had quotes used against him that he never friggin’ uttered; and (2) the cretins who are allowed to have a place in the NFL (be it playing, announcing, or owning) have said or done far more vile things than Limbaugh has.

Let’s address the “racist quotes” that Limbaugh has uttered, shall we?

There are way too many things that Rush allegedly said, and the fact is that they are all made up.  No one has ever heard him say these things.  Many of the comments were supposedly made during the Clinton years, when Bubba all but blamed Rush for McVeigh’s OKC bombing.  It defies reasoning to think that Bubba and his minions in the MSM would have never mentioned any of these comments during the 1990′s when Rush was a major thorn in Bubba’s ample backside.  Seriously, don’t you think that if Limbaugh would have honestly hailed MLK’s assassin at the time of his death in 1998, around the time of the impending impeachment proceedings, Bubba and Brokaw and the gang would have been on Rush like Barney Frank on a Chippendale’s dancer?

No one has been able to produce any audio or transcripts from Rush’s shows or interviews where he has allegedly said these horrible things.  The morons at Media Matters transcribe his show so they can find utterances that they can intentionally take out of context, and even they don’t have any record of these alleged utterances.  Not that they’ll volunteer that fact.

I just find it odd and deplorable that for someone who has supposedly said so many awful things over the last two decades, the only quotes that were used in this campaign to keep him out of NFL ownership were made up out of thin air.

As for the second point, let’s take just a cursory glance at who is allowed to have some place in football:

– Michael Vick: felony dogfighting charges
– Leonard Little: vehicular manslaughter/DUI
– Michael Irvin: felony drug possession
– Ray Lewis: obstruction of justice in a murder
– Plaxico Burress: felony weapon possession (in jail but not yet banned for life from the NFL)
– Pacman Jones: technically a felon since he pled guilty to obstruction of an officer case in GA  (Not in the NFL any longer, but eligible to be – Ed.)

Let’s not forget Dante Stallworth, who (like CNN’s Rick Sanchez, one of Limbaugh’s MSM assailants with an obvious lack of irony) got drunk and plowed into a hapless victim resulting in tragedy.  Stallworth will be eligible to return to the NFL after serving jail time.  Stallworth’s victim was unavailable for comment.

Or Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, whose foul mouth and sexual innunedos keep her peeps hot and bothered, yo.  She’s going to own part of the Miami Dolphins.

In other words, you can slaughter people and dogs, be a convicted felon, or sing morally reprehensible rap tunes that make liberal use of the “N” word, and you’re qualified to be a part of the NFL.  But if you’re a conservative talk show host who didn’t say the racist things that people accuse you of saying, you’re beyond the pale.  Got it?

Morals, decency, and logical consistency: three things (among many) that are sorely missing from liberals.

  1. What really got me was when Jesse Jackson uttered the following:

    Limbaugh has made his wealth “appealing to the fears of whites” with an unending line of insults against black people and other minorities.

    What a stunning display of hypocrisy!
    Jesse is no man of God. Neither is Sharpton. They’re satan’s personal henchmen!

    I hope Rush sues the pants off of every one of the cretins that are slandering him and that he owns them by the time he’s done!

  2. Fergie uses “nigga” over and over and over in her songs. And often with a negative bent. But she voted for Obama so she’s OK.

  3. OT:

    Considering that you covered this story previously, you will probably find this new revelation VERY interesting:

    Jenn’s right. Fergie now owns a piece of the Dolphins while Rush, who has never uttered those words, is not qualified? WTF?!
    Why can’t we have only 1 set of RULES?

  6. All this from the same people who complained about a “vast right wing conspiracy”. Make no mistake, this is not just a ho-hum, oh-well sort of story:

    “This is honestly no skin off my back.”

    It should be. The liberal progressives have just used their power of position in media to lie about someone they disagree with, ultimately curtailing his freedom to pursue a business venture. This most certainly should be skin off your back and butt. If we allow this, we allow a political ideology to dictate what sort of business they will allow us to conduct. How American is that?

  7. TB, by “no skin off my back”, I simply meant that I don’t have a vested interest in who owns the Rams. I’m not a Rams fan, as I neither like them nor hate them.

    I totally agree with you about what the left did to Limbaugh, and what it means for strongarming individual liberty. If I didn’t care about the overall message, I wouldn’t have posted about it. You and I are on the same page here, my friend.

  8. Even the government got in on this Bash-Rush- Bandwagon. A certain democrat representative from Texas (I think) said, on the House floor, that Rush was not worthy because of his racial slurs (lies). But she (Jackson Lee) also said that she wanted NASA to point the Martian lunar rover, to display the flag that our astronauts planted there. Mars, the Earth’s moon…what’s the difference right?
    She is on top of her facts!

  9. Facts are racist, tnjack! :lol:

  10. Oh, check this out:

    http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/sright/2009/10/16/nfl-owners-who-use-the-n-word-and-wet-their-pants-on-stage/

    There are more NFL owners who use the N-word…which, by the way, is something that Limbaugh doesn’t do.

  11. Now that I think about it, perhaps Limbaugh is too divisive to be a minority stakeholder in a group of investors interested in purchasing an NFL team. After all, look at some of the horrible things he has said in the past:

    Limbaugh on democrats: “I think they’re all a bunch of mother**king Nazi a**holes who should drink poison and die.”

    Limbaugh on John Kerry: “essentially, he sat out the war”

    Limbaugh on homosexuals: “I just don’t like homosexuals. If you ask me, they’re all homosexuals in the Pudding. Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia.”

    Let us also remember that, as of 2005, of the 112 total people Limbaugh either directly hired or had strong influence in the hiring decision, only one was black.

    WAIT!

    That wasn’t Limbaugh – it was Senator Al Franken. Seriously.
