Rush Limbaugh

Ok, I'm a huge sports fan so I had to comment on Limbaugh and his futile attempt to buy a minority stake in the St. Louis Rams of the NFL. The man is an unrepentant racist. I don't care about politics, left-leaning right-leaning. Really doesn't matter. You cannot say things like this if you are not a racist:

" I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed. "

And this one is the kicker for me:

"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."

The racism aside, this one is the kicker for me. You insult, criticize, demean, whatever you wanna call it, the ORGANIZATION YOU ARE TRYING TO JOIN. I mean seriously Rush. You have your right to your opinion, however sickening. But don't blame you not receiving the bid on "Obama's America" as you did. Put it on you for putting your on foot in your mouth. And I have the sources for anyone if they are questioning or unsure of the veracity of any of these quotes, just as a sidenote.

  2. I agree with you and I am happy he no longer is in on the bid. I am curious about that first quote though, that is very extreme. I really wish there was some way the FCC could come down on this guy.
