Anniversary of "Controversy" -- Rush Limbaugh/Donovan McNabb

A Conservative's Battle Against Liberalism ^

[scconserv04]

Many people argued that Limbaugh's assertion on ESPN last year that McNabb was overrated was not racist. But whatever side of the fence you took on that issue, it could not be denied that the conservative political commentator didn't think much of McNabb's ability to play quarterback.

A year ago, the Eagles were 0-2 and McNabb's quarterback rating was 41.4, which is just about what you get for having a pulse and making your way successfully to midfield for the coin toss. McNabb was dealing with nagging injuries at the time, and was also being nagged by the distracting controversy belched out during the 10 minutes or so that Rush Limbaugh lasted as a nationally televised embarrassment. -- Bob Ford -- Philadelphia Inquirer

These are just two of the half dozen or so articles that have referenced the Rush Limbaugh/Donovan McNabb "controversy in the last couple of days. You know that there will be more to come especially since it was one year ago today that Rush made the comments about McNabb.

Please get it right, and don't parrot the MSM: Rush was complaining about the sports media and the NFL being desirous of a black quarterback to succeed and be a star. McNabb happened to be the QB du jour. Overrated and off to a terrible start. He was right, of course.

you got it all wrong ...i'm not parroting the MSM ...i'm saying rush was right

[scconserv04]

Paul, I'm saying that Rush was right. You misunderstood. I was just giving excerpts of two of the many articles that I have found from just the last couple of days where the MSM is trashing Rush. I was simply pointing out that today was the one year anniversary of Rush's comments and that we could expect more of the same from the MSM. Check out the source site -- there were at least a half dozen articles that have already begun to trash Rush and pump up McNabb again.
