Wash Post: Flack Toward Barack Grounds For NFL Ownership Denial

Thanks to the Washington Post's Roman Oben, we now have complete clarity on the new rules for potential NFL team owners: Obama critics need not apply.

In a candid moment during today's Al Sharpton radio show (probably not intended for the rest of us to hear), Oben admitted that Rush's political views regarding Obama were key to the opposition that appears to have derailed his bid to purchase the St Louis Rams.

Were the fabricated racist statements and overall smear campaign simply added to camouflage the real (partisan political) agenda?

Oben's revelation comes a day after news that Barack-tart Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas was given the green light to purchase a portion of the Miami Dolphins.

Now, he’s not going to be a minority owner. He would assert himself on some of these committees and it would be just a matter of time before he said something on a bigger platform than what he said about McNabb. Now he’s going to say something that’s going to negatively reflect the Rams organization and the NFL as a whole and that something I think Roger Goodell and the NFL PA (Players Association) should pay attention to.

Just hours later, it was announced that the smear machine championed by Oben, Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and others had succeeded in derailing Limbaugh's NFL bid.

Welcome to America circa 2009, where loyalty to the ruling class determines private ownership of assets. Sound more than a bit like Chavez's Venezuela?

Stalin would have been proud of the way the left handles it’s enemies.

The players hate whitey, but take his money...the players vote Democrat to steal whitey’s earnings, why would anyone support their own destruction by watching these thugs play a game?

Rush is one of the few conservatives that can honestly afford to engage all these people in a court fight. I would implore him to do so, not for the money, but for all of us “little people” out here who can be messed with without fear of us being able seek redress through the legal system.

Rush owes us nothing. We listen because we agree with him and he offers a great service. That's a win-win situation in my book.

Although he doesn't owe us anything it would still be great if he went after these people!

I think he’ll do it. After listening to the 1st hour it sounds like he’s getting his ducks in a row.

In any case, we need to hold the NFL to this litmus test for any flaming liberals who might want to venture into owning an NFL Team.
