A Rush quote. Racist Douchebag.[/quote]
See, supposedly Rush is taking legal action against the journalists who’ve recently printed this quote, and a number of others. I know there is one about James Earl Ray, specifically. He is claiming that he’s never uttered these. Ever. That’s why I’m asking for a primary source when you people attribute quotes. Apparently the man is confident enough in his case to start the legal process going.

He was actually referring to a specific play ina Chargers game in which some thuggish after-the-whistle taunting cost the Chargers (I think) the game. Not PC, but also not racist.

During his radio show this week, Rush Limbaugh once again attacked Judge Sonia Sotomayor. This time he lashed out at her for being a member of the Belizean Grove, a private organization of female professionals, saying, “I think I’m going to send Sotomayor and her club a bunch of vacuum cleaners to help them clean up after their meetings.” Get it? He’s saying all Latinas are maids and cleaning ladies. Hysterical, right?
Rush is a racist douchebag.[/quote]
Racist, you pulled racist out of that, I thought it was a sexist comment saying they are professionals but they should still be doing the cleaning up.

It’s an outright falsehood. He never said it.
Sevenmoist is continuing the libel.[/quote]
I do not understand how come these people could keep on with it, the mans transcripts are on his website, you can read the transcripts. They are there, yet they have to go to someone’s elses website to find quotes from Rush Limbaugh, when Rush puts them up there for everyone to see.
Why are you kissing Rush Limbaugh’s ass? You have the audacity to make fun of your President but you’re doing the same thing you’re accusing us of doing.
He got rejected b/ he was Rush Limbaugh. Thats it.

He didn’t get rejected because he’s Rush Limbaugh, he was rejected because he is a conservative. Not a single other person involved in the three(supposedly three) groups bidding for ownership of the Rams have been revealed or scrutinized by the public/media. If Rush Limbaugh was rejected only because of the fact that he says radical political things, and not because of him being a conservative and not a liberal, then Keith Olbermann would have never been aloud to be an NFL commentator.

I don’t quite agree with everything here. First, regarding Olbermann, there’s a big difference between owning a team and being a commentator. Also, he was a sports commentator long before he was a political commentator, and he was pretty damn good, too. Now, I admit, I never watch Olbermann (he’s on the NFL Network, right?) so I don’t know if he’s mixing his worlds and throwing politics into sports. If he is, he’s either not pissing enough people off, or the pissed off people aren’t vocal enough.
Next, I don’t think Rush was canned because he’s a conservative – well, not directly. He was canned because he brings controversy. A lot of people don’t like him – and I’m not saying that’s right or wrong, but it’s the truth. There a lot of people out there that just don’t like the guy.
The parties involved want to keep peace and avoid conflicts, so the easiest thing to do is just dump the guy that brings in (maybe undeserved, but certainly welcomed) controversy. It has nothing, directly, to do with him being conservative.
Additionally, I don’t blame Goodell for not wanting Michael Vick as an active player. If I were commissioner, I wouldn’t either. Why invite the controversy and potential situations to follow? The NFL’s not hurting for money. It’s the king of American Sports and it’s without a peer. There will be other qualified players that won’t bring any baggage.
Malone, my friend, is this ^^^ what you actually meant to type but somehow got tripped up from a glucose starved 20 rep squat session?

Do you really see this as equal situations? I don’t believe you do.
But if you really do, I’ll play along. The difference is, letting Vick back in only pisses off a handful of fans, people on the outside of the organization he runs.
Letting Rush in pisses of players and other owners, people on the inside of his organization, people he has to directly deal with every day.
But, none of this really matters anyway since Goodell never even had to make a decision about Rush.
Ok, I’m a day late and a dollar short on getting in on this topic, but being from STL, I thought it prudent to comment. It’s already shameful enough that Rush is from my state, but it will be a sad day for Saint Louisians if he becomes a team owner.
With regards to Pushharders comment of “name one (substantial) racist comment from Rush…” I was going to rail into you on this, but maybe you were joking…
Here’s an article with his top 10 most racist quotes…
The dude spreads hate like wildfire. It is seriously scary that he has so many listeners…

PS Winning a forum argument is like winning the special Olympics. You may have the gold, but you’re still retarded.
If you read your own link, it was the NFLPA head who threatened to “involve the White House”. And I fully agree with Rush’s point about what he calls Obama’s America. Disagree with Obama, the left, etc. and you are branded a racist. In this case, using fabricated quotes, which are then repeated ad nauseum until people believe they are true.
