ESPN has to love this. Rush is making them a fortune.
Wastely Clark has to love this. Now the Barracks Emporer can ride to the rescue of poor, little picked-on Donovan McNabb.

[Nachum]

I think Rush put his foot in it. It was a dumb thing to say, whether true or not. Why couldn't he have just said that he didn't think McNabb was as good as his hype? The racial thing was just unnecessary.

Personally, I think McNabb is a fine quarterback and I watched beat my Bears in the playoffs a couple of years ago. He certainly played better that day than Miller (Bears).

Can't help but think Rush's days on ESPN are numbered.

Idiot.

[LandofLincoln]

Rush, you are right on. I know that you read this stuff. rememeber what THE GREAT TED NUGENT said ... "If I am taking flack, I must be over the target."

[gore_sux]

I live in Viking land and I desperately want Daunte Culpepper to continue to ride the bench in favor of Gus.

I guess I'm a racist for thinking that.

On Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark said Limbaugh should be fired. The retired Army general called the remarks "hateful and ignorant speech."

Well, we know Wesley has something large enough to accomodate a Humvee.

[almcbean]

He made a mistake and his biggest character flaw is that he never admits mistakes, he just excuses and rationalizes.
The mistake he made is this-he inserted a political statement into his sports analysis. And now we have to listen to him talk about his sports gig on his political talk show. I find his political analyses getting shallower anyway, and listen to him less, and I don't have cable so I don't have to listen to endless sports blather either.

If a black commentator made the same comments about a white boxer, i would think he is a racist... boxing and football always comes down to the men in the ring and the field...

I am not familiar with Rush's Athletic or military credentials but I would politely suggest that he have stepped about 3 miles out of bounds... This is something he can do on his show but he should have made the overrated comment and left it there...He crossed the line and he knows it...

However, his lack of contrition will probably help his radio show ratings so maybe he took lessons from Anna Nicole Smith, Dennis Rodman, and Madonna in how to be a person that half the people agree with you and the other half loves to hate you and can't look away.... Good marketing but you will forgive me if I thing he is not a good person in this particular situation....

[cake_crumb]

Is this a last gasp effort to get some sales in order to keep this socialist rag in business? This is as phony as the CIA story. In FACT, it's very SIMILAR to the phony CIA story.

Hmmmm....yeah, it fits. Why stop at using lies to destroy the Bush administration? Especially since they seem to feel this particular grouping of lies has a chance of working. Rush obviously scares the tar out of the left and they feel the need to use the same tactic on him too.

I herebye add this play to the book and label it the "Propaganda Pincer"

The retired Army general is dangerous if given any power or influence.

[SengirV]

In fact, the conservative commentator said he must have been right; otherwise, the comments would not have sparked such outrage.

That is an example of really bad logic. Let me get on national TV and say the following 'blacks evolved from monkeys and whites evolved from angels' I wonder if there would be outrage over that? If there is ANY outrage, then it must be true to some degree. Sheeeezzzz Rush, you are an F'ing idiot.

[Revolting cat!]

The Grand Enquirer will burn at stake the boy who shouts that Lady Godiva has no clothes!

[Uncle Hal]

Rush should of known better. There is no way he can win on this. The Dems and the liberal media will be all over this. Wesley Clark enters this fray because Rush wrote a hit piece on Clark a week ago in the WSJ and ever since then Clark has been on Rush's case. This will obviously help ESPN's ratings. Rush may have a short career in sporta broadcasting.

[Almondjoy]

I have lost all respect for Limbaugh. What kind of arguement is "I must of been right otherwise I wouldn't of sparked such outrage." Hey here's a piece of advice you overblown windbag! Take your oversized ego and stuff it where the sun don't shine. You know nothing about football.. except that you know there are 22 players on the field at one time and they throw around a pigskin... anything beyond that your brain cannot grasp.

Rush.. I think you have more than a hearing problem these days.

[GSWarrior]

The problem here is Rush suggesting his freedom of speech is being violated.

[TheGunny]

For any one that cares about facts, here they are.....
Mcnabb has a QB rating of 51.1, Cordell Stewart has a 49.8. last and second to last of all starting QB's in the entire NFL! The Facts speek for themselves.....he is a good athlete, at this point not even average. Here is the URL for your veiwing pleasure.

Rush is the man-----the media are the morons

[RightWhale]

Rush finally has something to talk about again. And it is a subject he relishes--himself. He might have to let his arm be untied because he stepped in it this time.

[driftless]

I don't know if McNabb is overrated or not since I rarely watch pro football and have never seen him play. But even though I'm a Limbaugh fan, he probably shouldn't have said it because of todays pc climate. But then if they censure Rush, they should censure Spike Lee and all the other race-baiters who routinely make derogatory comments about whites.

I've read plenty of comments by black athletes and commentators who wondered aloud in print and tv whether some white athletes were only there because of the color of their skin. And then there was Isiah Thomas's comments about Larry Bird implying that Bird was overrated because he was white, and we all know what happened to Thomas. Nothing. If Limbaugh is fired, it will only emphasize the hypocrisy of the liberal-dominated media.

[goldstategop]

After reading Rush's comments today, I realized its really a replay of "Jimmy The Greek's" comments two decades ago. You know the liberals claim to be tolerant but when it comes to disagreeing with the liberal orthodoxy on race, if you step out of line and offer a non-PC opinion, you're immediately labeled a "racist." Even if the opinion is not derogatory or insulting to a minority's race in any way, if you're not a liberal, you're not allowed freedom of speech and to voice your thoughts. It should be noted Rush said nothing about Donovan McNabb's race - its the race-obsessed liberal sportswriters who turned it into a racial issue. All Rush offered was a personal opinion to the effect McNabb's not as good a quarterback as the media's made him out to be and he's acknowledged it could be wrong. Its a perfectly legitimate view to have about a black quarterback as it is to have it about a white quarterback. Its not insinuating people are not capable because of their race; its rather their personal talents may not match the media hype about it. That's all Rush said here and the liberals act like he's you know - a secret member of the KKK and all that stuff. And pretty much the hubbub of this non-issue, non-controversy is that thanks to liberals, any honest discussion of race by a white person in this country has been made verboten. The liberals hate Rush with a passion and since they are the ones who happen to be injecting politics into the McNabb story, it would serve their interests if they could discredit him as a "racist." And you know if they made that charge stick, well racists are not worth listening to or associating with. Liberals would no doubt be overjoyed if they could end Rush's football commentator career and perhaps in the process make his career as a radio talk show host politically radioactive. So yeah when you get right down to it, this whole bruhaha over what Rush said is an effort to intimidate conservatives into never expressing ANY opinion that offends them and folks - its not just about football. As Rush said elsewhere on his show today, liberals have a real problem with trusting the people and democracy.

[jungleboy]

Damn it Rush! Since the Steelers suk this year, Rush has got to go talk race issue instead of football here in week 4!. HEY RUSH, leave my FOOTBALL season alone with your politics!! Wait till the season's over.
