Rush and the Rams

[-Jrabbit]

If Rush had framed his argument in terms of football skills instead of turning it into a vague indictment of "the media" and playing the race card, it would have been a typical overrated/underrated discussion. Apparently, he forgot that he was not back in the radio studio, where he controls everything and gets to tell people what to think.

It's all moot now, but FWIW, I don't know anyone who agreed with Limbaugh's statements at the time, either about McNabb's skill level or the media being "desperate" for a successful black QB. All this talk about how it was "what everyone was thinking" is just so much revisionist BS.

Steve McNair won co mvp with Manning that year, I didn't crunch numbers but my impression was he deserved it. I dont remember the media overhyping him...

You might wanna look at the date stamp on those articles.

Look, Drake. One of two things is true. Either

A) Rush is a racist, or

B) Rush is not a racist, but says racist things to increase his audience and make more money.

C) Rush is a race-baiter, just like his enemies.

Also, Donovan McNabb sucks...

That blog paints Rush far worse than his enemies.

[Drake Tungsten]

You obviously aren't up to speed on Sharpton's résumé...

[DaShi]

What an odd response.

[Q=DaShi;5693160]That blog paints Rush far worse than his enemies.[/Q]I'm confused. You think Drake cited that blogger as one who supports Rush?

[Sprayber]

I love Rush for only one reason. He gets everyone's panties in a wad. I don't even have to listen to the man to get the full enjoyment out of his words.

Really? That's the conclusion your drawing? No wonder you're confused.

[Straybow]

[Q=DaShi;5693640]Really? That's the conclusion your drawing? No wonder you're confused.[/Q] Well, that's the only way to grammatically read the sentence you wrote such that you don't understand Drake's response. Unless, of course, you are a racist who thinks blacks like Sharpton get a pass at inciting riots and filing fraudulent charges, while whites like Limbaugh are somehow worse for saying on the radio what Newsweek magazine says in print.

It just makes me laugh when an ignoramus like that blogger, or some weenie liberal on Apolyton, picks out a quote from Limbaugh that they're too lazy to fact check to the point where they discover the context of the quote. But I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

[Ben Kenobi]

Again, I don't see how Limbaugh can be considered racist when he acknowledges that McNabb is a good QB. It's like saying you would be racist for saying JaMarcus is the worst NFL starting QB in the league.

Why does anyone care about how Rush is being "unfairly" treated? The guy is a scumbag, has been for almost 30 years. So a few quotes here and there were misattributed. So? That makes up for the three decades of other **** he's said?

Wah, wah, poor little rich man.

"grammatically read" Are you a ****** who reads nothing in context? Or a ****** who speaks before he thinks?

You're as bad as Ben. Don't blame me because you can't comprehend what you read.

I guess there's my answer.

The problem with race-baiting like Rush and Sharpton do is that it implies that because said group is racist, it's ok to be racist against them. The only reason certain minoritiesget away with it is because they can point to a long history of discrimination.
