This thread title may be closer to the truth than many suspected.


I'm sure the usual suspects will rush to Limbaugh’s defense over the racist comments about Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb that got him sacked from ESPN. What is really sickening is that he sees people’s outrage over his stupid comments to be validation of his racist opinion.

Today, the NY Daily News is reporting that Rush is being investigated for illegal drug purchases. If true, this helps explain a lot of what comes out of his mouth. His former housekeeper alleges that he took enough pills to “kill an elephant”. ‘Nuff said.

Any dittoheads care to defend this guy? Why do you get your opinions from a drug fiend?

"kill an elephant"???
I reckon he's cruisin' for a heart attack anyway.
Maybe he will die on the crapper like Elvis.

I've been tuning into Rush the last few days. Can you say "back-pedaling"?
Didn't everyone know that this guy would get outed for being nothing more than a hired attack dog? I found that he brought very little to the ongoing national debate. The serious conservatives in this country should be leading the charge to get him off the air.

Limbaugh is a liar and an anti-intellectual.

So what did he say that was racist?

From reading the transcripts I get rush thinks the guy getts more credit that he deserves by the media. The same media bias that we have spoken about for years. BTW, that first ammendment that you dems all stand behind so often, what happen to that.

and the drugs??? Thats an aligation.

Rush is not over.

Nobody is saying that Rush is not free to speak.

People are simply calling him on his lies and nastiness.

If he shuts up, that is up to him.

Will he ever shut up?

Probably not.

Am I not free to criticize that fool?

Rush is underrated because everyone wants to see a white radio host do badly.

On his show, Rush said that he made a mistake and followed that by saying "Big whoopdy-doo". He seems pretty lenient when it is his mistakes, isn't he?

I haven't listened to Rush for years, but I heard his coments about McNabb replayed, and I did not think they were racist at all.

The only reference to race was the suggestion that the media handles McNabb different because of his race. That suggestion is not racist. I think this is the political correctness police, once again, running amok.

Settle down Nancy, it was a spoof on Rush's own comment. Why he even brought up race is beyond me. Hell Mcnab is overrated simply because he sucks, not cause he's black.

OK, I suppose Pittsburgh fans wanted to see Cordell Stewart succeed simply because he was their quarterback.
Too bad he just hasn't got it.

Now he's Chicago's problem.

Die Philadelphia, die!

Go Redskins!

I've hated Cordell ever sense he was at U of Colorado and he threw that sloppy hail Mary pass in the last second to beat Michigan. That guy would flush out of the pocket if you whispered "Boo!" at him.

Another in a fine line of sports journalists
Remember the comment by Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder when he was a game analyst on CBS? His career was curtailed when it was reported that he attributed the athletic excellence of African American athletes to selective breeding.

And....on the other side of the coin, Nolan Richardson could get away with saying that he recruited mostly black players because they were bred to work hard.
However, Rush should give us examples of media giving McNabb a pass, as well as giving all other black quarterbacks a pass. I don't think it's hard to find criticism of McNabb in the media. Think about it.

"Here's an excerp from an Al Franken column in June, 2000 on why it would be a bad idea to have Rush on Monday Night Football:

"Besides being an ingrate, Limbaugh is also a lout. In 1993 he called 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton "the White House dog." If he does MNF, I doubt he'll say anything as racist as Howard Cosell's "look at that little monkey go," referring during a 1983 Monday night game to Alvin Garrett, a black receiver for the Redskins. Rush takes great affront at being called a racist, though that didn't stop him from making this observation a few years ago: "Have you ever noticed how all newspaper composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?""

Nigal hit the nail on the head. MNF already has the best color commentator in the game, John Madden (IMO). What the hell do you need a political hack in there for?

I am not a Limbaugh fan at all but I found nothing wrong with his comments, it was based towards the media.
I would be willing to bet that if Tom Jackson had said that about a white QB nothing would have been said or printed!

"Franken or Rush?"

Franken.

Gawd Tree, I can't even stand to watch MNF anymore. Madden's voice is like fingernails on a chalk board to me. "Now here's a guy who knows how to run the football. When they need to get a first down he knows they need 10 yards."

Ever seen the guy from Mad TV doing his Madden impersonation? Funny as all get out.

Dang aero, I thought it was Joe Washington(defensive back?).
And I thought it was a punt return or interception.
I was watchin' that game with my wife and we just looked at each other.
There was a moment of awkward silence in the booth.

Kinda like Rush gives more credit to republicans and Bush than he deserves by the media.

A Classic!
Tom, I remember watching Monday Night Baseball back in the 70's when they had Dizzy Dean as a guest in the booth. As the camera panned the crowd they picked up on a young couple in the outfield bleachers making out. Dizzy commented, "I've been watching that couple all night; he kisses her on the strikes and she kisses him on the balls."
The booth went dead for about 30 seconds, then Dizzy breaks into a verse of the "Wabash Cannonball"!

Why is it that when ever a WHITE guys something "racist" the media goes ape sh1t!
What about when Dusty Baker this past summer said all that sh1t about white guys! They can't take the heat... etc...ect...
That got swept under the rug real quick!
The media is a bunch of Phuckin d1ckheads !
Also what about the movie 'White men can't jump" ?
what if they made a movie called "Black Guys can't Swim" !! BOY that would definatly start alot of sh1t for the producer and hollywood.
It's a phucking double standard.

PS
The way things are going it won't be long before a White Male will be the minority.

aero, You Da Man!
His fame so overshadowed his other achievements that by the time Cosell referred to the Washington Redskins' Alvin Garrett in 1983 as "that little monkey," it caused a furor. Many observers, deliberately or not, overlooked Cosell's sterling record on civil rights. The Rev. Joseph Lowery of the Southern Christian Leadership Council and others demanded an apology. Cosell being Cosell, none was forthcoming."

I think the point is not exactly what he said but the fact that he actually thinks that McNabb gets more attention than he deserves because he's black - why not just say "I think he's overrated".

Is it me or does McNabb stand comparison to virtaully any other quarterback out there regardless of race.
If this had been said however many years ago it was when there were no - or very few black quarterbacks he may have had a point, but no longer.
