When it was first announced that Limbaugh was interested in becoming an owner in an NFL team, I was surprised that the reaction was kind of tepid at first, but in the ensuing days, the attack picked up steam Throw in a couple of phony quotes, and Voila! he's forced to stand down.
What has this country come to? Somebody makes up a couple of quotes - no attribution, no proof, but the Mains Stream media spreads them like they were gospel.
These people have the morals of a street whore and they sit in self-righteous judgment as if they were the keepers of all things good and holy.
Limbaugh is no racist. He's a bit bombastic and irreverent at times. He often operates from the theater of the absurd, but nothing he says or advocates is inherently racist. If he did, they wouldn't have to make stuff up!
It was all politics. You have Chris Matthews who gets a thrill running up his leg when he hears Obama speak suggesting that someone stick a gun up to Limbaugh's head and see if it will explode when they shoot him. There's Keith Olbermann. He gets up in front of a camera each day and tries his best to sound like a thespian up on the stage reciting Shakespearean sonnets to himself while he is trashing people in the most dishonest and mean-spirited way.
Rush couldn't get away with acting like that for ten seconds, yet these guys (and others such as Ed Schultz) can say anything and they get a pass.
Freedom of speech only means the correct speech. Anything else is racist. Just ask the liberals. If they had their way, Limbaugh and all the other Conservative talkers would be banned from the airwaves.
