Rush talking about Blacks not being able to keep up:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiLVTzljOjA

The comparison is a joke. What rapper who has made racial comments has bid for an NFL team???

The NFL is one of the few places where racism or discrimination doesn’t exist in any real way. Rush would introduce an entirely new level of hatred and division and racial hatred to a sport that rises above that.

Ah. And here I thought it was a free country where people could say what they wanted.

And here I thought you understood that freedom of speech applied to the government limiting your speech, not the NFL. You are not free of the consequences of your speech. If you make your living saying inflammatory things, don’t be shocked when some people don’t want you in their club.

This thing is heating up. Matt Osborne wrote on Huffpo in response to Rush’s on air comments yesterday:

“Poor Rush Limbaugh. His dream of one day owning and trading Negro men has been shattered by the liberal media, which keeps making up lies about him. ”

Republicans can’t take personal responsibility for anything anymore.

It was Rush who said that football games are looking more and more like a fight between the bloods and the crips without the weapons…….not the MSM.

H,
Taking quotes out of context… not surprised. Nevertheless, nothing you quoted is racist in the least.

Are you really using the defense of “some of my best friends are black” defense?

Big 180:

“…but he talks about how the blacks brought a negative culture to the game…”

You’re lying; he doesn’t say that at all. You are the intolerant bigot here, Hannitized.

Leader of the gop:

“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.”

Rush said the NFL sometimes looks like a gang fight, not that a gang fight sometimes looks like an NFL game. Pay attention.

It’s you who has it backwards HG. TheTodd clearly put the Crips in the NFL, not the NFL in the crips.

Look it, 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.

What’s racist about that?

I understand, which is why I made the clarification. My point was that the contagion of lying smear has reached the point where the smears have become “public knowledge”, and are no longer capable of being refuted except by a determined campaign to stamp out those lies in the public awareness.

As a leftie, Mike, surely you must detest what your side likes to call “McCarthyism”, don’t you?
What’s the difference between what has just been done to Rush with a concentrated campaign of lying smear and the charges against McCarthy?
Please explain the difference.

Liberals think thier is a racist inside almost every white American and definately in every conservative white American. They start with this premise then look for something, anything to point to and say “see, there it is, I knew you were a racist”.

It is the epitome of stereotyping. Ignorant as it is, it is a real problem among liberals and a huge hurdle to any meaningful and honest discussion.

I told the truth about your lies, which you remain unable to process. Again, you are a supporter and practitioner of McCarthyism. You remain a lying political terrorist.

I already know you as a pathological liar, so your non-substantive response is no surprise.
Your feelings are irrelevant; only the truth matters here, and you don’t have any.

[By the way, what's so wrong with being divisive? Should we all be sycophants wandering around agreeing with one another lest someone rock the boat? - Rob]

The fact that you don’t get why Rush making racially divisive statements (about NFL players no less) is wrong and a reason not to let him own a NFL team…yet at the same time you claim Reverend Wright was a reason we should not elect Obama is beyond hypocricial……it’s comical.

Im sure that Magic Negro song Rush thought was so cute played a huge factor.

Chickens coming home to roost Rush.

You people suck eggs. Hypocritical assholes. I hope some of the lying bastards lose their jobs for libel.

There is a difference in that the Dixie Chicks were criticized for what they
actually said and that it was the consumers choosing not to buy their crap
not your usual suspects.

But aside from that you almost had a point.

I’m kind of proud of you for the effort.

“Rush could single handedly destroy football…”

That’s possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in print

E,
Are you siding with Rush on this?

Bloomberg, courtesy of M.Levin reports G.Soros’ is also part of the group buying the Rams…….

once again…..can the Democrats spell hypocricy???….is it even in their dictionary…..do they even know the meaning of the word???

McNabb seemed to be hyped in the press compared to his performance on the field. I noticed this myself long before Rush said anything about it. McNabb seems to struggle late especially when down.

Of course I’ve never noticed any hype over a white RB in the press. Maybe cause there hasn’t been many, or at least many standouts. I can’t even think of one standout. I guess we’re not suppose to notice those things though. At least not without being labeled a racist.

Robert,

Unfortunately for you there is a long, long thread of Rush Limbaugh talking about the black culture in Football, and how much he dislikes it.

Here is just SOME of it:

“RUSH: Look it, 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.

have lost that game were it not for a bunch of — I gotta be very careful here. It’s not just irresponsible, but there is a cultural problem in the NFL that has resulted in a total lack of class on the part of professional players.

There’s something culturally wrong here that is leading to all this. It’s gotta be dealt with at the top, because it simply is classless.”

Rob: “And here I thought it was a free country where people could say what they wanted.”

It is. You can’t own any professional sports team you want, however.

If the gop leader is not included in the bidding group it will be because people with freedom of choice choose not to associate themselves with the leader of the gop.

If they think he will make them more money, his name will be on the page.

It’s a business decision.

E,
I don’t follow. How does Rush “publicly victimize.. 1/3 of the nation because of their political beliefs”? What should the media do about it?

The Republicans are up in arms when the free market bites them in the ass.

They have no personal responsibility and are ignoring the outright racist and TRUE statements made by rush about the NFL, and some specific players in the NFL.

None of the other candidates are guilty of that gross negligence.

Not a valid comparison. Healthcare is a product/service, which anyone can purchase, at least until Obama engineers a fascist takeover, then it’s in the hands of bureaucrats what you can and cannot have.
The market for NFL franchises is very small, so the comparison is meaningless.
You ignore the use of political terrorism by your lefties, Mike. No surprise.

The NFL doesn’t want controversy or divisiveness. That’s why they didn’t reinstate Michael Vick. Wait, what?

More:

So for the Chargers to complain about the lack of class by the Patriots, I found laughable. I think something ought to be done about it, because I love the game of football, and I don’t like the kind of culture that’s taking over, that “you can’t diss me, you can’t disrespect me.” After every sack, players are acting like they’ve won the Super Bowl, and they’re prancing around with these idiotic dances. The latest thing is to act like they’re making a jump shot in basketball. It’s all done to taunt; it’s all done to taunt the other team’s fans.

Rob, you can keep saying he isn’t a racist, but he talks about how the blacks brought a negative culture to the game, but he can’t produce any negatives…except dancing and showboating.

That intolerance is race based hatred, or racism.

You point to the fact that he has black friends. That maybe true. But it doesn’t mean that he does not have an intolerance for what he believes is the black culture in football.

He made comments that the media has a desire to see a black quarterback to well, because he thought the black quarterback wasn’t good and broght race into the picture on his own, to somehow discuss the issue that white quarterbacks have been dominating and the “media” wants to see a black quarterback to well. That’s just……..wrong.

Then you combine that with all of his other race base clap-trap…..and the picture is very clear.

And even if you don’t think he is a racist, his comments are so offensive to everyone else, it has caused him to be viewed negatively and few want to associate themselves with that and to see that type of thinking introduced into the NFL.

It was the free market at work, rejecting your the pompous ass.

ellinas, please use the blockquote feature when quoting others, it makes it hard to follow what you are saying, what you are responding to and who you are trying to debate with. It would help in keeping up with what you are posting.

[blockquote] [/blockquote]
substitute the [ ] with <>

Thanks.

No Republican will offer a Wright quote they believe is racist, because they know Rush’s comments are worse.

Looks like the lawsuit will carry even more wieght given the damage these lies have caused Rush.

Rob:
“Rush is getting punished because he doesn’t have the right kind of political beliefs”

Really? You’d better have a liberal equivalent to Limbaugh who *does* own an NFL team to make that statement.

When I made the reasonable claim that the NFL didn’t want Limbaugh as an owner because he would attract controversy, I compared him to MLB’s refusal to allow Mark Cuban to buy the Chicago Cubs. Who’s your comparison when you make your outlandish claim?

Because, without one, it sounds like paranoia.

It was not his political views, it was his controversial statements, particularly about Donovan McNabb, that sunk his ownership bid.

Only he is responsible for his statements.

How did it get to this point Rob? Is it because you know there is little difference between Reverend Wright, and Rush Limbaugh….and you are caught as a hypocrite?

Please….

And that photo of you and your girl is much better than that…tryign to be cool photo…..it aint you dude.

Please… We are STILL waiting on Rush’s TRUE racism to be displayed, sans the cherry-picked phrases that can easily be transformed and polymorphed into [*guffaw*] evidence.

While you and the absolute emo-wimps in the NFL are deriding Rush for “WRONG THINK”, please tell us how many wives/girlfriends Rush beat up? How many people did he kill while driving drunk? How many dogs did he drown or beat to death?

Here. Go look at the NFL All Pure Morals and Values Team (source: < href="http://www.endzonebuzz.com/50226711/nfls_allcriminal_team.php"> End Zone Buzz) and get back to me on the NFL’s double standards.

its ok rbb, the dnc leader is included in that group so you guys should be happy.

I rarely watch the NBA any more. I got completely turned off to it a few years back with all the thugish behavior on and especially off the court. I’m slowly coming back. It appears the NBA is trying to clean up its act.

“– “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.” This alluded to the number of violent felons on both teams, and is based on fact.

– “We need segregated buses. … This is Obama’s America.” This was a reference to the beating of a white kid by black kids on a school bus, while the rest of the black kids cheered. Another inconvenient truth for this administration.

– “President Obama is black. And I think he’s got a chip on his shoulder.” He is on record, along with his mentor of twenty years, saying hateful and prejudiced things about “a typical white person”, among others. More truth you racist Dems can’t handle.

– Democrats are interested in Darfur to secure black “voting bloc.” A statement about lax immigration policies. Another truth from Rush.

– “Minorities never do anything for which they have to apologize.” Again, with all the special rights and entitlements, another inconvenient truth.

– Obama’s nomination for president “goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.” Also true, and a statement about racial favoritism in this country and the MSM.

– Obama is a “halfrican-American.” Also factually true.
RUSH: Look it, 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.

have lost that game were it not for a bunch of — I gotta be very careful here. It’s not just irresponsible, but there is a cultural problem in the NFL that has resulted in a total lack of class on the part of professional players. Again, the ignoring of violent criminal records to get players on the field.

There’s something culturally wrong here that is leading to all this. It’s gotta be dealt with at the top, because it simply is classless.”

Your racism is obvious, Hannitized, as always. You see everything through a highly prejudiced racial lens.

Why do you hate free speech, when Rush is exercising it?

Continuing to tell the same lies about Rush doesn’t make them true. This is leftie political terrorism, and has nothing whatsoever to do with “capitalism”.
It’s all about the politics of personal destruction with the Dems, just like their idol, Josef Stalin.

Rush Limbaugh is a fat druggie who’s biggest accomplishments are spreading misinformation, hatred and divisiveness among the American public. He is an avowed racist and everyone knows it. But he has no problem having the very people he hates make him a little richer.

Hannity, nobody cares for your tripe. Not giving a damn about your silly challenge should not be confused with being intimidated by your empty rhetoric.

It’s not just a single quote, it’s his entire premise…..that the black culture, the culture of crips and bloods, is what Rush thinks is classless and ruining the NFL.

The fact of the matter is Rush doesn’t see anything except his culture as acceptable, and those uppity blacks really upset him.

Take the issue of Terrell signing a ball and giving it to a fan. Classless? More like CLASSIC.

Pointing out that the media wants a black quaterback to do good is racist? What a joke!

So when so many Americans wanted to see a black politician rise to the top and win the presidency, that was racist of me to observe and point out? Nevermind the celebration that took place when we elected the first black president. Those of us noticing what was being celebrated are racists.

Thanks for clearing that up H.

Rob Port: “But because he was forced out because of his conservative political ideology it’s all ok.”

I got you a present: http://www.wildaboutmusic.com/123160020.html

“Other than criticizing McNab…” Wrong! Rush criticized the fawning media coverage of McNabb, not McNabb himself. A common lying smear of Rush.
I don’t think you are smearing Rush; you’re just repating a smear that has polluted the public discourse.

E, there is plenty of disrespect on both sides. So much so that to single out Rush sounds a little ridiculous. You know how disrespectful it is to use phony global warming scare tactics to stifle economic progress and confiscate peoples earnings? You know how disrespectful it is to demand of your fellow citizen pay for your cost of living? You know how disprespectful it is to lie about what a person says just to gain a political or personal advantage? Politics is a no-holds-barred arena where playing nice has serious consequences. Rush isn’t perfect, but the disrespect he dishes out is by and in large well earned.

What would you have the media do that they haven’t already done? Hell, they already libel the guy and quote him out of context at nearly every opportunity.

Onslaught doesn’t believe Rush wants to tell players how to play…but, here it is:

[You remember the Monday night game on ABC and Seattle when after scoring a touchdown, T.O. playing for the Fort'iners, pulls a Sharpie out of his sock, autographs the ball and gives it to somebody. I said, “Folks, this is going to lead to nothing but trouble.” Everybody said, “Come on, Rush, lighten up, that was funny.” It was classless. Go back and look at the greats who played this game. They would not do anything of the sort, maybe hand the ball off, but not pull a Sharpie out. Everybody started to talk about how much fun that was, ooh, how cool, how creative. Then we get Joe Horn of the United States Saints after he scored a touchdown pulling a cell phone out of his socks and faked making a phone call. Well, guess what shows up on ESPN? So these guys get validated, everybody wants to stand out, they want to get endorsement deals and so forth. So television, making stars out of people who engage in classless behavior helps lead to it and contribute to it. No question in my mind about it. I'll bet the guy that called from El Paso did not expect this as an answer.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Look it, 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. ]

Criticizing and tearing apart are two different things……that’s why we have different words…and why I used a word you have not.

Maybe you should try thinking before you write on a blog.

Maybe Dave Checketts really doesn’t want to buy the St. Louis Rams.

Why else would he have included both Rush Limbaugh and, reportedly, George Soros in the group cobbling together the money to make the purchase?

If, after all, Limbaugh is not eligible to become part owner of a team due to polarizing and divisive comments, Soros’ comparison of the Bush administration to the Nazi regime arguably merits that same outcome.

But, per Bloomberg.com, Soros is part of the Checketts group, too.

Bottom line? Checketts should have done more homework before piecing together his investment group. All he needed to do was call the league office or maybe a few owners to get a feel for whether this kind of thing would fly.

With Limbaugh now out, it’s likely only a matter of time before Soros will have to go as well. Even if the reaction to Soros’ involvement isn’t as sharp and immediate, it only takes nine of 32 “no” votes from the full league ownership to kill the deal — and there probably are at least nine Republican owners who believe that, if Limbaugh isn’t fit to own part of a team, Soros isn’t, either.

Typical coward republicans have to hide behind excuses. Rush is accountable for his statements that he was paid handsomely to make in public. He OWNS the consequences.

But Rob, like most unthinking, unintelligent Conservatives have to blame it on other people, or their favorite target….liberals.

Typical.

Rush is a unthinking, hate-spewing talk show host who celebrates in divisive and vulgar thought.

The difference is that Fox News only tears apart Democrats….period…end of story. MSNBC tears down both, but has a leftward bent.

Rachael Maddow even attacks Obama……i mean…who does that for Bush on Fox?

What I find baffling is the stark hypocrisy of those that seem to go after Rush for things he didn’t say, and twist what he did say to try and fit their little narrative of racism here on SAB, when they have no problem jumping behind or in support of people who are bigots and racists that comment on here and conveniently turn a blind eye to their fellow democrats / anarchists that say much worse here.

I will start believing these people genuinely care about what Rush did or didn’t say when I see you apply the same standards to your fellow democrats that post here and others who lie, smear, call names, ect in the media and Government.

Rush is getting punished because he doesn’t have the right kind of political beliefs.

That is a ridiculous statement unless you believe NFL owners are a bunch of liberal democrats.

It has to do with his statements, not his political ideology.

Except for the talk show host reference, you just described yourself. Rush tells the inconvenient truth for you lefties, and you want to deprive him of his free speech rights in order to stop him. You will fail.

I’m pretty sure that they don’t want any conservatives WATCHING the NFL either.

There are plenty of racist comments Rush has made that specifys black culture, and his hatred towards it.

For every Wright quote, I could find a worse quote from Rush. Challenge me!

E, I really think that if someone like yourself would put aside the liberal assumptions about Rush and listen to the guy for a week or two, you’d probably have a different opinion of him. Not necessaryily a positive one, but a more realistic one. Yeah, Rush pokes fun at big name political opponents. He’s a political commentor who mixes in satire and humor to make an entertaining program. That’s how he has the audience he boasts. Nobody would listen to a political commentor for 3 hours a day without some humor and enthusiasm.

“…but he talks about how the blacks brought a negative culture to the game…”

You’re lying; he doesn’t say that at all. You are the intolerant bigot here, Hannitized.

Reverend Wright actually hates white people and believes AIDS was created by “whitey” to kill off black people.

Rush made accurate, if provocatively worded, observations about the number of criminals playing in the nfl.

I’m sorry the truth is inconvenient for you.

suitepotato, said among other stupid things, 26 minutes ago:
“It will be remembered by the people who agree with Rush”.

Sure! As if the opinion of approximately 4 million nuts like you matters.

I agree. Provocative sure but not racist.

Rush is getting punished because he doesn’t have the right kind of political beliefs.

I didn’t see anything in your post to even suggest that Rush was doing anything other than making an observation and stating his opinion.
Now if I may make an observation. In an ownership group, depending on how much money is put in and/or how the group is structured, there are persons in it who have a say in day to day operations and there are persons who may or may not have a vote when it comes to decisions that may require a vote.
Do you KNOW what role Rush was to have is the group? because if you did, you may what to add Psychic to you lengthy list of awesome talents you like to bore us with on a semi-daily basis.
and now for my opinion. You are a moron who has no clue as to what you are talking about.

“unthinking, hate-spewing… celebrates in divisive and vulgar thought.”

The silver must be coming off the mirror you stare into everyday by now.

Any day now you may accidentally see the world as it truly is.

He will OWN those who committed libel against him.

your moderated comments are a joke, rob.

It was not his political views, it was his controversial statements

Ah. And here I thought it was a free country where people could say what they wanted.

And if ESPN fired Keith Olbermann for calling Malkin a mashed up bag of meat with lipstick?

You’d be crying in your latte.

I’m on my phone right now but use google and find where Wright said the Jews won’t let him see obama.

Yeah nothi g racist about that.

Rush is a political commentator whose views you disagree with so you smear him with lies.

Because you’re intolerant and small minded.

Oh come off it, Mike.

Calling the pantywaist hysterics on the left who can’t tolerate the idea that someone like Rush might want to be part-owner of a football team is hardly engaging in a conspiracy theory.

I will reply to Onslaught and HG later. Got to take grandma to the doc.

PS: The doctor’s appointment, will give me sufficient time to formulate my responses.

robert108 9 minutes ago said in reply to ellinas:
“Why do you hate free speech and individual independence, ellinas? No one is forced to listen to Rush, and your support for McCarthyism is noted”.

Please kind sir, point to where I ever said I hate free speech and individual independence.
Please point to where I ever said, that anyone was ever forced to listen to Rush.
Thank you for noting my non support for McCarthyism.

Personally… I don’t have a problem with Soros being involved.

But I’m tolerant of the beliefs of others like that.

No, they don’t.

He’s not, actually, but the other night Olbermann called Malkin a “mashed up bag of meat with lipstick.”

That’s divisive and vulgar and “hate-spewing” no?

I’ll await your condemnation and call for Olbermann to longer be associated with the NFL.

Han, can you link your opinions to credible sources, or do you just shoot from your hip? Don’t bother answering if you doubt yourself, we know your too intellectually lazy to credit your sources, as incredible as they are!

Its amazing what sort of hatred mere political disagreement will inspire in people.

Loses?? He hasn’t filed the law suits yet, which he’ll win. Other than criticizing McNab, no one seems to be able to produce the racist remarks he allegedly made. If someone here can find them, please post them with a source so we can all see them

He means that very one. In the minds of libtards, black people are inferior to whites and can’t stand up to satire, sarcasm or the slightest ribbing and when they do it to themselves should be nodded at and let play like retarded children. Liberals are the real racists.

While sucking raw eggs is not recommended due to salmonella, I like you hope that justice will be done, and the the truth will come out.

Are you still up?
Please go get some sleep.
Good night robert180.

Rush has a history of commenting on politics not disrupting sporting events.

So its not a valid comparison.

Yes, there is plenty of of disrespect on both sides. However he is more visible than others. He has a bullhorn, and the proverbial soapbox for 2 to 3 hours daily from coast to coast.

As to the global warming scare tactics, I pay no attention to the hype on either side.
However I would like to remind you of the “acid rain” of the not so distant past. Acid rain proved to be real.
I am sure the same, or similar arguments were used then. Measures taken, prevented disasters.

Like I have told you before, I pay what I have to pay and demand nothing from anyone( except that tightwad stingy gluteus maximus/anal opening suitepotato).
I am a proponent of public education, but I do not sneer at the private learning institutions, nor do I wish them to go away as they have lots to offer.

I do know how disrespectful it is to lie about what a person says just to gain a political or personal advantage. I also understand that politics is a no-holds-barred arena where playing nice has serious consequences.

I would have the media do an honest daily analysis of what he says on a daily basis.
Challenge his very being. But do it in a respectful and honest way.

It’s more than a little pathetic that in a nation that supposes itself free one man can be publicly victimize possibly a 1/3 or more of the nation because of his political beliefs, and our brave and courageous free media all but keep their mouth shut.

“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.” ..At times it does.
“We need segregated buses. … This is Obama’s America.” ..Which would go more to Obama’s racism.
“President Obama is black. And I think he’s got a chip on his shoulder.”..He is and he does. Just like Bush had a “swagger” that people didn’t like.
“Democrats are interested in Darfur to secure black “voting bloc.”..Indicating it’s the democrats that are racist.
“Minorities never do anything for which they have to apologize.”.. His opinion, I don’t agree.
Obama’s nomination for president “goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy.”.. His opinon and I don’t agree. It was the easiest way to get the minority vote.

Oh jeez that quote? That’s what you’re hanging your hat on?

That’s not even racist. Jesse jackson’s cracks about “hymies” were racist. Al Sharpton and rev. Rights comments about Jews as well

Rush’s comments were just accurate.

The truth of the matter is, that even though the racial statements that were allegedly made by Rush were fabricated and linked to the White House, hannitized still holds out hope that some where, some way, some day the fabricated statements can be attached to Rush or any other republican.
Long live Robertt. Byrd!!!

It should have been left up to the owners.

That so many of you liberals are so intolerant that you couldn’t even let this play out is pathetic.

Given the number of felons in the nfl his point was valid. I’m sorry that you think reality is racist…but it is still reality.

robert108, 3 hours ago in reply to ellinas, said:
Your support and approval for the lying smear campaign by you and your leftie buddies is support for McCarthyism.

Here’s your statement:

Your use of the term “victimize” requires coercion, and so you lie; Rush can’t coerce anyone to listen to him, so there is no victimization.
You hate Rush’s free speech and individual independence, which is why you devise lying smear about him.
In fact, Rush has been victimized by being deprived of an economic opportunity solely on the basis of his political beliefs, using lying smear.

Your support of McCarthyism is again noted”.

Mr robert180,
I read the above 3 times with much interest, each time trying to find some redeeming quality in what you say.
I failed. Not for the lack of trying, of some kind of handicap on my part.
They were/are no redeeming qualities in what you wrote.
However, it finally dawned on me.
Your answer is like a rubber band that has been stretched to the limits of it’s tensile strength, and is about to break.

Hi E, How’s your Grandma doing? Well, I hope.

You know you never answered my post, I’m not sure if i should be hurt or thankful to have dodged that particular bullet.

When you made that comparison I pointed out that Cuban was a different situation. He has a history of controversy in the NBA including being ejected from games and being fined for barging into the locker rooms of other teams, etc.

Rush has no such history, so it’s a rather stupid comparison.

And the NFL owners didn’t even get a chance to vote on Rush. The brow-beating the NFL took from the intolerant liberals and the race baiters was enough to get him axed before the process even really began.

Now, legally, everything’s kosher. It’s a free country. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck on principle.

Rush should have been allowed to engage in the process of selection like everyone else. Not treated to a smear campaign (much of it based on fabricated quotations) simply because he’s got the wrong kind of politics.

The difference is that Fox News only tears apart Democrats….period…end of story.

That’s not actually true. I’ve seen Beck criticize Bush on the war on terror. I’ve seen Cavuto go after Bush on spending.

Maybe you should try actually watching Fox before you open your mouth.

MSNBC tears down both, but has a leftward bent.

Yaeh, that Queef Olberman is a really fair and balanced guy. I’m surprised he’s not working for Fox!
