"It's easier for most Latin guys and it's easier for most minority people because most of us come from heat. You don't find too many brothers in New Hampshire and Maine and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Right?" ........
Thanks for reminding us of the enormous double (triple, us - libs - black) standard.

He was setup plain and simple. They were waiting for him to utter one controversial statement and he played into thier hand. The Rats are just filthy.
To: Pharmboy
Why would it be appropriate for him to make the statement on EIB and not on ESPN?
To: RKM
So where the hell have you been?????? :)

Rush should have stuck to commenting about McNabb's quarterbacking and not said anything about race. Sports are ruthlessly meritocratic. If a quarterback doesn't produce on the field, he eventually will be replaced. Considering Philidelphia was just one game away from the Super Bowl last year, he's probably a pretty good quarterback.

Brilliant piece. Let's see if other sports writers have the GUTS to come out and speak the truth like this guy. Haven't a clue who he is, but with character like this, I'd buy him a few rounds at any bar of his choice.
To: Pharmboy
I agree that there would have been no controversy had he not made the comments; however, it makes no sense for someone to not be able to comment on a racial issue without fearing for his reputation or job. Rush's comments were provacative but in no way were they racist.
At some time, the foolishness has to stop.
To: shoedog
This is spot-on... nice piece!

Say anything bad - even if totally true - about a black person, lose your job.
Unfair.

The Propaganda Machine is working overtime. The Democrats are ready to scorch the earth; they'll destroy everything they can as they sink into political hell. Ugly people commit ugly acts when they face defeat--and these people are very ugly and very desperate. It's gonna get worse.

Why would it be appropriate for him to make the statement on EIB and not on ESPN? Well as Ronald Reagan once said, "I paid for that microphone." EIB is Rush's company. ESPN is ownded by Disney. I think Rush forgot the golden rule. Those who have the gold make the rules.

Is what he said true? And isn't it reminiscent of Jimmy the Greek?

Rush Limbaugh made the mistake of dragging his political views into the sports arena.

Rush Limbaugh made the mistake of dragging his political views into the sports arena. I like to watch sports in order to get away from thinking about politics.

So let's move on and talk about Steve McNair. One of the best quarterbacks, black or white.
