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.
