Was Rush Set Up? (Soros-NFL connection)
American Thinker Blogs ^ | Oct 15, 2009 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 10/15/2009 5:33:47 PM PDT by Mamzelle

Indications of a Soros involvement in Rush's woes. Turns out that Soros is an investor in Checkett's group. Was Soros always involved with Checkett, or did he come in after Checkett threw Limbaugh under the bus?

“This whole Rush/NFL thing is beyond the pale and a line needs to be drawn in the sand.”

The NFL and other professional sports franchises are the government subsidized modern equivalent of the Roman Gladiator games. Designed to keep the masses (excuse me bumpkins) hypnotized while the elites destroy the country. Many educated people think nothing of paying a criminal millions a year and then complain about the cost of health care. Most of these criminals make more in one game than a Pediatrician makes in a year.

Checketts and Soros were one of the groups bidding on the Washington Nationals MLB franchise when it was for sale in 2005.

The Republicans in Congress, when they got word that Soros was one of the investors told MLB corporate that, if Soros becomes a part owner of the Washington Nationals, you can kiss your anti-trust exemption goodbye.

The Washington Nationals were sold to the Lehrner family shortly thereafter.

Checketts and Soros have been affilitated with each other for a while now.

Soros is an anti-semite by his own admission he stirs hate toward Jewish people... but nobody says a word....

Don't know of any Jewish players in the NFL, so they can't play THAT race card.

Then, within the past few days, the MSM dutifully reports false quotes from Rush about racial issues,

How did they all come up with those quotes so quickly, since they obviously are not on Rush's website or in the transcripts. From whom did they get those quotes?

it’s very possible this was a deliberate diversion to take that much time away from Rush discussing the really important issues.

Please. This nation is being run by National Socialists. Soros will get approved, and it will be the death knell for the NFL.

Thanks for the kudos. This whole thing with Rush and the Rams is disturbing on many levels. It appears that the NFL has decided to establish political litmus tests for potential team owners.

GBA's post in #38 (thanks, GBA):

Do you believe in evil? Here is a partial transcript from an interview done by Steve Kroft for CBS' 60 Minutes George Soros on December 20, 1998: Soros Helped The Nazis During Holocaust

Were these standards enforced when all of the other current owners bought their teams?

They may not have been in the cross hairs of Arlan Specter to end the Anti Trust exemption..

“I’d say it is more likely Rush set up Soros.”

In the same way that Gomer Pyle set up the sergeant. I don’t mean that Rush is stupid mind you, I’m just saying that he was up front about the trouble this would raise. I believe he factored in possible fallout and concluded that the NFL would be in a pickle no matter how they reacted. Political correctness does not compute in the real world.

...it’s just like in markets–that if I weren’t there–of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would–would–would be taking it away anyhow....

Wow! That is part of Soros’ commentary, from that transcript, on his assisting his Nazi godfather.

As the blogger at the link says, a sociopath.

Perhaps he became addicted to controling people’s destinies as this stage in his life. And now he is drunk on the power. Evil, evil man.

You may be no match for Soros, Rush does quite well for himself, don't speak for him.

Good points and speaks to this country’s upside down priorities.

We all know what happened to Rome. This time the barbarians are within our own gates and “the elites” are throwing them pieces of bread to keep them at bay (metaphorically). There are approximately 35 million on food stamps alone. (it’s difficult to get exact stats)

Of course then there’s the other question: how come Rush was willing to get in a deal with Soros?
