I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.
It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.
Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.
Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

ESPN is on record defending Rush's right to say what he wanted to say, and added that it was the goal of hiring him. ESPN is NOT the enemy here.

1) Is it appropriate for the sports media to talk about Donovan McNabb's race when discussing his performance as a quarterback?
64.3% No
35.7% Yes
2) What is your opinion?
42.8% McNabb is not overrated.
31.8% McNabb is overrated, but that has nothing to do with race.
25.4% McNabb is overrated because members of the sports media want to see an African-American QB succeed.
3) Before this week's turn of events, did you believe it was appropriate for Rush Limbaugh to appear on ESPN's NFL Sunday Countdown?
43.8% Yes, because he made the show more interesting, whether he was right or not.
36.8% No, because he was not a football expert.
11.0% No, because I disliked his views on social issues.
8.5% Yes, because I liked his views on social issues.
4) What is your opinion of Limbaugh's resignation?
52.3% He should not have resigned.
24.1% ESPN should have fired him first.
23.6% His resignation was the appropriate outcome.
Total Votes: 40,501

interesting results...
over 40,000 votes cast and a great number of the votes (the greatest by far) say Rush should not have resigned.

ESPN is on record defending Rush's right to say what he wanted to say Until they got pressure from their PC buddies. They would never admit it, but I'm sure they heard from Eisner saying "Dump this guy. I don't like his opinions."
