How did the people here feel when the Dixie Chicks got beat down and Peter Arnett lost his job?

What they said and did was substantial. The issue with Rush is much to do about nothing.

This isn't over yet.

All but the controversy is over and the controversy will go on and on.

>>>What he said was stupid .... it was ugly and vulgar

I think you're overreacting a bit. Maybe you can make the case that Rush was careless, but ugly and vulgar. I don't see it at all.

If Rush said McNabb was a good at sports because he was black...THAT would be racist.

To say the Media trumped McNabb up because he was black is not racist. Rush is frying the Media.

Amen! His comment was about the media trying to be PC. And the media reaction to his comment, only proves Rush right...AGAIN! LOL! He'll have some fun tomorrow. I hope he comes up with a good song parody for this one.

Just to make sure we are clear, racially insensitive (even if no racism is intended) should require sanctions against all or none.... I look for consistency and truly dislike double standards....

On this point, it has to be stated that conservatives and liberals are intolerant of dissent but it is true that liberals are given more latitude... Unfair but true.... I think Jesse Jackson, Robert Byrd, Cruz Bustamante, and several others need to learn to practice what they preach...

However, I don't think that it is a defense when a conservative makes such remarks that it is OK because some liberal did it also... Someone told me that two wrongs do not make a right....

ESPN IS RUNNING AN ONLINE POLL.

The problem is that many football fans don't think McNabb was getting preferential treatment by the media due to his race. So, bringing race into a discussion on McNabb without convincing evidence was a huge mistake.

I have. Rush criticized McNabb because he didn't think he was doing a good job as QB. He went after the media because he thought they were giving McNabb a pass because of his race. So I guess the real racists are the media.

Although he was just stating his opinion, it was ugly and vulgar. There was no call for him to make the accusation that he did.

I totally disagree. Why is there "no call" to accuse the sports media of being desireous for a black QB to do well? Most of the sports writers are lefties. Probably because they are jealous and envious of pro athletes and envy is rampart on the left.

Not at all. I think he deserved a leather enema.... However, he is guilty of pretty much the same thing... Saying that which is politically incorrect....

Of course, Arnett also told some pretty big lies...

At least Rush only expressed a heartfelt opinion....

Can't comment on that. I am not even sure if football is played with a hockey stick or catchers mit. I am drawing conclusions from the reactions of the media.

Me either! I am just stunned! I never thought he would allow them to run him off; especially after McNabb said that he was more upset about the black guys who agreed with Rush.

He is off tomorrow to go to the radio awards program in philadelphia(how appropriate). He cut himself off as he was ending the programw when he was saying he was off thursday and did not know who was going to be in his place. I hope it is walter williams. He seemed down and distracted. We have to email him with words of encouragement RUSH@IBNET.COM
