Limbaugh quits ESPN. That was a surprise really. Don’t take from my previous posts I have issue with someone being controversial. For example – I think Howard Stern is great. No, I simply believe that it works both ways. Not only does Rush have a right to speak – even filled with ignorance and race baiting as it was – but everyone else has a right to tell him to stuff it up his ass. Which they did. It was universal. A beautiful thing. Even on Fox News this morning (yep I tuned in just to catch what they would say about it).
Read all about it in today’s Inquirer.
Rush assumed that the ESPN listeners possessed sufficient intelligence to understand his comments, and he was right, for there was no flap at all at ESPN. It was not until the liberal newspapers grabbed the story and screamed racism that a flap was created. Not one of you has bothered to read the comment in full or to strain your rather low IQ’s to even TRY to understand what was said. Since the race of the quarterback was mentioned, you simply jumped to the conclusion that the remark MUST be racist. You are being intellectually lazy and dishonest.
For years, there were no black QBs in the NFL, so naturally, the media – and the rest of us – welcome black QBs and applaud those who do well and show excellent potential. All Rush said was what we already knew: that McNabb had been overrated by the media because of their enthusiasm to see him succeed.
That is NOT racist. That is simple fact.
Now will those of you who consider yourselves the Thought Police please stuff a sock in it?!
Sorry – I never called him a racist. You are being lazy by not reading what I’ve wrote.
Now go re-read instead of being so lazy and closed minded.
Thought police my ass. It’s *you* who is telling *me* what I can or cannot say.
Practice what you preach.
