I said what I had to say about the Rush Limbaugh-football thing over at the Other Place. But there is some spillage, like, oh, this:And of course the racism that has entered into this discussion is not El Rushbo's fault at all, but Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton's fault for pointing it out in the first place as the Corner's Andy McCarthy blocks with his face to protect his QB with one of the most insulting comparisons I have ever read.What does have a place in the NFL? Here’s a short list of players who were active after being convicted of felonies — I added Michael Vick to a list I found here:
– 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 GADear Lord. (1) Players and owners are different. (2) Take the whining to the frickin' NFL owners -- not a notoriously PC bunch, you know?
If these guys wanted to let Limbaugh into their club, he'd be in their club. But they don't and so he isn't.
That's how Rush treats people — in the Martin Luther King aspiration that the content of one's character is what matters, not the color of one's skin. Yet, in the media narrative, he's somehow the one who's got a race issue — and the guys who trade on race, live and breathe it 24/7, are held up as our public conscience. The Left calls this "progress." I call it perversion."Rush is like Dr. King, you see." The guy that first put Barack The Magic Negro on the air is like Dr. Martin Luther King? Really?There's only one way this nonsense ever goes away: When we say "enough!" and tell the race-baiters their time is up. It's too much of an industry, so it probably won't happen tomorrow. But the Sixties ideal is crashing and burning before our very eyes, and I think it'll take a lot of its warped obsessions down with it.
Screw you. No, really. That has got to be the most idiotic thing I've heard in months out of these fecal-flinging parasites.
But their Lord and Liege has demanded fealty, so the Wingers now hate the NFL as that sport full of (whisper) them.
Assholes. Really.
[UPDATE 11:38 AM] Matt Osborne takes this on, as does TBogg. This Saint Rushbo stuff just proves how culttastic the Wingers are.
