C'mon, you really think that was their motive? The NFLPA is full of murder's, drug dealers, dog fighters, drunk drivers, steroid abusers and a whole slew of other bonafide criminals and general malcontents. Pacman, Vick, Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, TO, Stahlworth, 85...want me to keep going?

More polarization. Here, there, everywhere.
Drugs are referenced in his regard but ignored elsewhere, hate is subjective as the liberal media stars preach love and love only. What are you gonna do?
I can't stand Rush Limbaugh. But there's probably 35 reasons ahead of fat, drug addled talking head that led to his interest being snuffed out. And if there aren't then there are really some serious issues in the NFL.

Stu wrote:he didnt blame obama directly, he used the obama name to describe the group of people that kept him out of it.
And he believed what happened to him was an illustration of "Obama's America on full display."
Limbaugh blamed DeMaurice Smith, executive director of the NFLPA, whom he called an "Obama-ite," and the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, whom he referred to as "race hustlers," for Checketts' decision a day earlier to drop him. He said his sacking was an example of the political clout wielded by the Obama administration.

Limbaugh said he's "lost nothing" over the episode and vowed to continue being the "biggest non-paid promoter of the sport."
"On the other hand, our country has lost a great deal. A lot more than most people realize at the moment," Limbaugh said.

I believe disdain for the man comes from the fact he is a hate-spewing biggot. You say divisive, I say enormous asshole who I wish cancer upon. Really.

rush, on the other hand wants the black man (and everyone else for that matter) to have all the same rights, freedoms and privileges as everyone else.
if anything, the only way the people of this country are ever going to get ahead is if the government stops being so controlling, intrusive and socialistic.
rush has always been critical of anything on the liberal/democrat agenda anyway and absolutely none of it has ever had anything to do at all with bigotry or racism and if you would have been listening to his program during the clinton administration, you would know this.

Dave, take your head out of your ass. Limbaugh is a world-class dick. Rugged individualism? What a crock of shit that is. It only holds water if all other things are equal. They are not. And if we're talking survival of the fittest type shit, his fat ass it the first to go.

Listen to the song, then read the article, then listen to the song again. Maybe you'll learn something about how to analyze the true meaning of something rather than jumping to conclusions.

Yeah, it's not like the Bush Admin had Americans illegally spied on or anything...
Oh wait. Yes he did.
It's not like the Bush Admin tried to paint everyone against his stupid war as unpatriotic.
Oh wait. They did that too.
It's not like the Bush Admin bailed out companies that were going under. (Which is Socialism, the Goverment saving companies from going out of business)
Oh wait.....

do you even listen to his program??? did you know that his call screener is a black man??? do you know one of his guest hosts and best friends is walter williams, a highly educated black man who is on staff as a tenured professor at george mason university??? if you listen to his program, then you would know that he is not a bigot. he speaks the truth, but with apologies to jack nicholson's character in "a few good men", you can't handle the truth.
if you really want to know who the real bigots are, they are the very guys who supposedly are leading the ever-continuing struggle for equality for the black man, guys like al sharpton and the rev'rund jesse jackson and the like. they continue to push their regressionist "black man as victim" agenda just to keep themselves relevant in the black community instead of actually coming up with progressive ideas that would actually help the black community to get ahead and prosper.
rush, on the other hand wants the black man (and everyone else for that matter) to have all the same rights, freedoms and privileges as everyone else. he just doesn't think they should be at the expense of more qualified people of another race, be they white, black, yellow or green. by the same token, he doesn't think that a white man should get any special privileges over a black man either just because of the color of their skin. he believes in "rugged individualism" meaning that it's every man for himself, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, etc.
if you think getting ahead in life requires the help of the government, like a lot of people in this country do, both black and white, well then you are sadly mistaken and that's the type of stuff rush talks about on his program every day. he believes in the individual taking control of his own life, you know, the whole life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness thing. he thinks people should stop looking for a handout from the government and instead get their hands busy in doing actual work for themselves and earn their own money.
if anything, the only way the people of this country are ever going to get ahead is if the government stops being so controlling, intrusive and socialistic and yet the guy who's in the white house now is even worse when it comes to these issues than all other presidents before him and it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin and everything to do with his beliefs, policies and actions and yet anytime you voice your opposition to him, you are immediately labeled as being a racist???
puh-lease!!!
rush has always been critical of anything on the liberal/democrat agenda anyway and absolutely none of it has ever had anything to do at all with bigotry or racism and if you would have been listening to his program during the clinton administration, you would know this.
all this being said, i really don't want him being the owner of the rams because he would take that team and put all the other old, rich, white guys who own the other teams to shame, especially the browns, even though randy lerner already does a good job of that all by himself.
on a side note, i find it rather interesting that rush is actually a very huge fan of pittspuke and just spews out all kinds of love towards the steelers, the rooney family and coach mike tomlin every chance he gets on his program and yet rooney is a huge obama-honk and is now his ambassador to ireland. go figure???
oh well, it looks like the politically-correct crowd has won yet again as rush has been removed from the group looking to buy the rams and so this is all just water under the bridge now. next topic.

"We are being told that we have to hope [Obama] succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles ... because his father was black."
"Obama's entire economic program is reparations."
Obama is "Halfrican-American."
Limbaugh suggests Obama would not have acted on Somali pirates if he'd known they were "actually young, black Muslim teenagers."
you can't criticize the little black man-child. You just can't do it, 'cause it's just not right, It's not fair. He's such a victim."
Limbaugh responded to a Reuters report about a University of Chicago study that found that "a majority of young blacks feel alienated from today's government" by asserting, "Why would that be? The government's been taking care of them their whole lives."
"Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There I said it."

Why is this racist? Are you assuming that all gangbangers are black? Could it be that he was actually referring to the fact that there are a lot of criminals on the football field?
Yea, some of his comments are racist, but a lot of them are valid points. He's also been on the air for 30 years. 10 or 15 mistakes in 30 years is pretty damn good if you ask me.
