This is a huge issue which has enormous implications for the destruction of civility, common sense and justice.freedoms.

The NFL and sports writers have an understanding that
the thuggish behavior of these athletes fall under the radar of publicity. Rush was wrongly accused but honesty no longer prevails. Just to be accused by the left merits punishment.

Just to be accused by the left merits punishment.

These are very true words and ones that should be carefully considered. The left has been able to interfere with a business transaction in which it held no stake or concern. Rush, by his own admission, is not intending to pursue recourse. The reality though is he was denied ownership due to lies, libel and slander.

Somewhere rolling around in my head is the phrase, "due process." The left dolled out a vicious punishment without due process. They made accusations with no supporting evidence. They interfered with a man's pursuit of happiness. They infringed on another person's Rights.

Why the left can call anyone they want racist or charge them with racism in the court of public opinion, even though no discrimination is evident. This is the manipulative nature of the word Racist. It can be thrown at anyone without evidence of real discrimination. There are laws against real discrimination.

A person or business being labeled Racist loses their Right to 'due process' under the law for discriminatory behavior. While Rush has chosen to let this matter pass, we must recognize the dangerous precedent being set by Rush's decision.

Accusations of Racism need to be answered by the accusing party with evidence of discrimination. Those charges cannot be resolved over a beer at the White House or redactions and apologies. The only way that can happen is if those accused pursue their Right to real 'due process' and stop the left from using the court of public opinion.
