We've already seen CNN's Paul Begala, affectionately referred to as "The Forehead" by Rush Limbaugh, and one ESPN personality, Fred Roggin, taking shots at Limbaugh on the heels of news of his interest in the National Football League's St. Louis Rams.
But it was just a matter of time before the usual culprits on the left would attempt to make an issue of it, in what seems to be an effort to gin up some reason for the talk show host not to have an ownership stake in an NFL team. And, MSNBC's Ed Schultz isn't waiting for pointers from the left-wing blogosphere to set the "Stop Rush's Bid for the Rams" agenda. He took it to Limbaugh on his Oct. 6 program immediately.
"There's also some comical football news out there," Schultz said. "The drugster's talking about buying the St. Louis Rams. That's right, the leader of the Republican Party is bidding for ownership of a team that's been giving more money to Democrats than any other team has over the last 10 years, at least that's what the survey says. He'll have to do something about that I'm sure."

This should be great fun!
so let them get into a bidding war over the team.......LOL
Yes I’m sure they will. Schultz for one is motivated simply by envy.
How the heck does Schultz - or anyone else - know this?
Without apology, I’m a “ditto head”!!!!!
I saw the USA Today for today using a 2003 pic for Rush. Not even a current pic...
If I was betting on this game, I’d put my money on Rush.
I will have to start rooting for the Rams. Unless they play the Colts are the Brownies.

If they don’t want Rush to buy the team, why don’t these whiny liberal media types get together and buy it themselves? I heard a report on radio that the teams’ estimated value was only 929 million dollars. With Olberman’s, et.al. salaries, they could easily afford it.
“I will have to start rooting for the Rams. Unless they play the Colts are the Brownies.”
5 will get you 10 he brings them to LA almost immediately...what a great story THAT would be...
Me too. If he is successful, I can put a Rams Bumper sticker on my car to thumb my noses at the leftists, without being “political”. I’m not allowed by work to have any political stuff on my car or person.
Who is Ed Schultz?????
Maybe he’ll move them to Rio Linda.....*L*
Prob not move team since he is from missouri
Rush’s first job would be to bring back Kurt Warner.
I've long believed enviousness to be one of the three human traits which are the foundation of leftist political movements (the other two being narcissism and rapaciousness).
Methinks one of the prime things that bugs the mindless left is that Limbaugh (a high school grad) could totally, completely, and mercilessly wipe out the Harvard trained Obamaloon in any debate in which the loon’s teleprompter was turned off.
Face it libs, your loon is stupid, stupid, stupid. He’s so stupid, he’s in Pelosi territory.
Ed Shultz gets listeners by default.
In the conservative talk show arena there’s Rush, Sean, Beck, Boortz, Levin, Wilcow, Ingram, Liddy and on and on.
In lib radio there’s...Shultz. His ratings are 1/10th of any of the above. (except maybe Wilcow)
Great helmets. I can support them.
How feeble they are. I find it so small that they continur to snipe like this, shows them up for the little men they are. Bunch of whiners.
Most lefties have no ability to control themselves - they just cannot compartmentalize.
Everything with them is politics.
That is why we are constantly barraged with inane political ramblings from lefty singers, actors, “personalities”, co-workers and strangers on airplanes.
They feel any disagreement with their childish political philosophies gives them the right to infest every aspect of your life and either convert you or destroy you.
Now this.
Personally, I would like Rush not to buy the team, so that he can still honestly support the Steelers!
Lib radio talker with a very small syndicated show. The only reason I know him is he gets an hour on AFN....
Now, if these folks attempt to put the kibosh on the purchase of the StL Lambs by Limbaugh, can't they open themselves up to 'tortious interference' in a contract?
Calling FReeper lawyers. I remember when Texaco or another big oil company got spanked badly for trying to stop a merger between two other oil companies. What's the diff here?
he might just do that move to LA. they are building a brand new huge NFL statium in Diamond Bar Calif where i live and it’ll be at the 57 and 60 freeway about 40 miles east of los angeles. it has already been approved
Everyone on the left is motivated by envy.
How is this any of their business?
He has the bucks, he pays the price, he buys the team.
Are they saying his money is no good?
Oh no doubt. And if Limbaugh is successful and buys part of the Rams then the left will try and use that against him, launching boycotts and what have you in an attempt to get the NFL to fold. But the Rams ownership is free to sell the team and if the group Limbaugh is with is the highest bidder then they should get the team. And I imagine that Limbaugh’s group is the best chance St. Louis has of retaining the team. Those owners have local ties, other groups may not.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. We get three games every Sunday.
Not trying to be funny here...who is Ed Shultz?
Rush was right when he said the msm had an interest in McNabb succeeding because he was black.
And here we are.......again.
Laughable to hear them deny their biases.
I’d rather see Limbaugh buy NBC.
“What’s the diff here?”
Texaco stood to benefit from ruining the deal, whereas Ed Schultz...stands to benefit from ruining the deal?
If Rush gets a football team we will get to see how much public financing is going to be needed for their stadiums.
“5 will get you 10 he brings them to LA almost immediately”
Somebody should. i find it absolutely absurd that Los Angeles does not have a professional football team; although, there are of course plenty of teams nearby. At least as absurd as the fact that we didn’t have a hockey team here in Minnesota for a good stretch.
Limbaugh has local ties. His group is probably the best chance St. Louis has of keeping the team.
Okay, this just occurred to me. Would a lefty campaign against the Limbaugh purchase cause the price Limbaugh would have to pay to increase or decrease? Would the campaign hurt the value of the Lambs to the potential purchaser? Or would it force Limbaugh to raise his offer? What about Limbaugh's partner?
I think if Limbaugh bought the Lambs, he'd bring new fans to the Lambs from across the nation.
Who is Ed Schultz?????
*****
He was the only thing in North Dakota that was worse than the weather.
Who is Ed Schultz? Really?
It’s buisness...money talks
Maybe he’ll move them to Rio Linda.....*L*
If he did, he would have a LOT of explaining to do...
The louder he attacks Limbaugh, the more publicity he hopes to get.
Would have been sweet if the team Rush had interest in was Big Edde Radio's beloved Minnesota Vikings.
He's a media giant, just like Limbaugh, and I'm sure his big MSNBC salary is right up there with Rush's.
His ego craves more attention than he does.
