   And yet Michael Vick was allowed to actually PLAY football and he executed and abused dogs.  The shame.   I understand there is a rapper out there who owns a share of an NFL football team.  Of course, as lots of rappers lyrics go, it is full of racist comments and derogatory statements.

   Where’s Lenny now?

   It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and more influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).
   Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, the handicapped, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. Don’t we all feel better?

   This is the point to which we have now sunk: an American’s private investment choices have now been politicized. Now even a citizen’s right to decide what to buy has been abrogated by politics. Nothing is untouched: Science, law, free speech, and now even the most fiundamental rights.
   This is Marxism on the march.

   The NFL decides who becomes an owner not the other way arounnd.  

   All this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has to offer is his money and his opinions, which in my opinion are on the fringes of racism (one mans opinion).  There are many more groups biding for the Rams, not just his group.  Lets face it there are more men with money that will gladly fill the slot and the Rams will win or lose depending on how well the team works together not on whether or not Rush is an owner.

   As for Vick, well he is a player (he has talent not like you, Rush and I, unless you are a NFL player?) and he served his time and the NFL decided we live in the land of second chances, so why not (I personally don’t like it but, oh well).  Life has never been fair (NEWS FLASH!)

   Now as to the “Free Speech” argument, I guess many of you like myself heard Rush on Thursday “Almost in tears”, priceless.  But the last two days he now is in his normal ranting and will continue until someone surpasses him, “Free Speech” continues, so quit your whining.

   I should expand my answer.

   Some liberal, left wing, activist journalist wrote that he “said” something racist and then it became so.  That is so left wing.  And wrong. 

   The media, along with the political correct crowd have gotten way out of hand.  It’s time to quit playing the race card and puninshing people for things that so often are not even true.

There are many more groups biding for the Rams, not just his group.

   Now as to the “Free Speech” argument, I guess many of you like myself heard Rush on Thursday “Almost in tears”, priceless. But the last couple of days he now is in his normal ranting and will continue until someone surpasses him, “Free Speech” continues, so what is being stifled, it simply is not true, of course, you may not have a radio, so you might want to get one.

   Rush will not sue, because if he does, he will be deposed and like Nixon he knows that the tapes will sink him. Poor little Rush, no out except creating the myth that everyone is out to get him. Sorry sucka you can only blame yourself for your idiot comments. NFL wins you lose. Tee, hee….

   Thanks for adding the links Pam. 

   Paul – you sound to me like one of those libbies who refuse to see the truth even when it’s staring them in the face.  I have a couple family members like that.  When we get to that point in the conversation them a question which usually stops them cold.  Do you wish ILL WILL on Rush just because you don’t like him?   If the answer is yes then you are indeed someone to pity.

    What “tapes’? Those who have tried to verify the quotes were not able to do so. The few that were tracked down led to Rush haters who made them up.
    Paul the truth is you just hate Rush Limabugh, isn’t it? You are willing to twist your mind as needed to try to justify it.

    Rush Limbaugh:
    Transcript of radio broadcast from Oct. 14, 2008
    By Keith Vance
    TRANSCRIPT OF RUSH LIMBAUGH ON HIS RADIO SHOW FROM OCT. 14, 2008
     
    Editor’s note: This is a verbatim transcript of Limbaugh explaining how ACORN, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright are all involved in a radical leftwing conspiracy to teach black kids to hate America.

    From the time of my birth 57 years ago to today, this country has grown and expanded, prosperity has opened its doors for more and more people around the world, not just people born in this country.

    We know the stories of asians immigrating and running rings around people born in this country academically in California. We know all about the immigration, legal and illegal, to get into the country. We know that the standard of living has risen. We know that technological advancement is going along at light speed.

    And yet, during this period of time, whether it be the last 57 years, or the last 20 years, it seems that the majority of the black population has remained angry, frustrated and behind – they’ve been left behind. They’re acting like they’ve been left behind, and of course we’ve heard that this is because of racism, natural systemic institutional racism in America. We’re unfair. That this country is just horrible and rotten.

    Do you ever ask yourself how it is that people not even born here can come here and in a few short years begin prospering in school, they’re own business, and yet people who are born in this country somehow have been raised to hate it – to still think they’re back in the days of slavery.

    I actually think, after studying all this ACORN stuff, and reading what Stanley Kurtz has written about this, I actually believe that what has taken place here, in addition to liberal Democrat legislation – such as the great society and the war on poverty, which a lot of people would now acknowledge really busted up the black family by the government taking the place of a husband and father – he’s free to roam around and bear no responsibility. The mother remained the mother, she got the financial assistance from this legislation from the federal government. The federal government became the father. The father didn’t have to hang around in order for the kids to be OK – depending on how you define OK.

    And as you study more and more of this ACORN stuff you find that it has been part of an entire movement that has been going for two maybe three decades right under our noses. We thought that it was just liberal welfare policies and all that that kept blacks from progressing while other minorities grew and prospered but no. It is these wackos from Bill Ayers to Jeremiah Wright to other anti-american afro-centric black liberation theologists, working with ACORN, and Barack Obama is smack dab in the middle of it. They have been training young black kids to hate hate hate this country. And they trained their parents before that to hate hate hate this country. It was a movement. It was a Bill Ayers anti-capitalist anti-american educational movement. ACORN is how it was implemented right under our noses.

    They’re doing far more folks than just cheating when it comes to elections and registration. They’re in deep in this mortgage crisis. ACORN and Obama, and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, the Democrat Party have their fingerprints the sub-prime mortgage crisis. The whole concept of affordable housing was people who can’t afford a mortgage are going to get one, because America is unfair.

    It has been a movement. It has been a religion. And Obama and Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers were all up to their big ears in it.

    This is only one example, he real sounds like America’s Uniter, not a Divider, when it comes to race relations.  For so many years he has spent his time on the radio mis-labeling and/ or mis-characterizing others.  Poor little “self-centered” Rush, no out except creating the myth that everyone is out to get him. Sorry sucka you can only yourself to blame for your idiot comments.  He finally had his judgment day where the NFL wins and tubby loses. Tee, hee…

    Montana,

    What part of that transcript proved your point?

14. Robert
    October 26, 2009 - 06:09 AM on October 26th, 2009

    Yes, what is your point? That ACORN cannot be criticized?

    October 27, 2009 - 04:14 AM on October 27th, 2009

    The point is right there for anyone to see! What do Obama, Wright, and ACORN all have in common? They don’t look like Limbaw, if you know what I mean. His ranting which Montana quoted proves his hatred for people of color. Montana sees it and knows it anyone can. Except other racists!

    Lenny the racist is back shooting his racist comments. 

    I loathe racists like Lenny.   Stop, just stop.

    October 27, 2009 - 01:19 PM on October 27th, 2009

    So Lenny do you think the good Reverend Wright is a racist?  I have heard speak and he sounds like one of the worse to me.  What say you?

    October 27, 2009 - 03:41 PM on October 27th, 2009

    The point is indeed now apparent: To criticize anyone of color, their actions, their words, their deeds is by definition racist and not to be allowed. Further, to even ask questions about them, to open the debate, to even utter anything that may state or imply disagreement or criticism is inappropriate and is not to be allowed. Even if white honky crackahs like Bill Ayers are also involved, this rule holds.
    Why any criticism whatsoever, and questioning, any disagreement whatsoever may soon be elevated to hate speech and break the law.
    Limbaugh is in so deep with his comments that to those like Montana, that is enough to convict Limbaugh of anything and everything the left wants to throw at him.
    That’s the point…

    Hi Robert.  I am so tired of these lefties accusing people of being racists while ignoring the intolerance of their own.  I’m sick of the political correctness and if I hear anyone call NObama the first African American president I will call them out.  Like him or not he is the president of AMERICA; not AFrican America.
