I gotta kick over this can of worms. The reason Rush-lovers are so vulnerable to this angle of attack is that Limbaugh indeed made an ass of himself on the ESPN pre-game show. Does the media cheer-lead for black QB's? Yes. So what. Blacks were prevented from playing the position for decades because of white coach stereotyping. If you don't believe that, maybe you should be hanging out with Al Campanis.
I watched that day as Limbaugh issued his "challenge". I immediately thought his comments were intentionally designed to get the media's dander up. However, I had not seen the media cheerlead for McNabb anymore than they still do over Peyton Manning or the love affair they had this year with Drew Brees. Limbaugh's gig was stupid anyone, and he really stepped on his 'pepper' on the show. He's been whining about it ever since.
Sometimes he's quite entertaining, which is more than I can say about the narcisistic Hannity, but on that day he was a doofus.
Rush-lovers, have at it!
"maybe you should be hanging out with Al Campanis."
Who was also NOT a racist
I do believe things are different now than when Limbaugh made that comment. What was McNabb doing at the time? I do not believe at the time he was having the kind of year Manning had this year (I know, nobody ever has) and comparatively speaking at the time, Limbaugh's comments may have been accurate, although ill advised (read "Taboo"...good read)
