| The fellas as The Corner are p*ssed off! What's this witch hunt against poor old Rush Limbaugh? The "race baiters" are out after him, lobbying against his ownership of the St. Louis Rams! Take it away, Andy McCarthy! Those liberal do-gooders are leveling "phony attacks" against Rush Limbaugh! Plus, Andy had ethnic friends! He knows Rush's racist jabs are just folks having fun! And Mark Steyn, that guardian of truth! Those claims against Rush are faked!
Oh, and Mark's column yesterday totally, one-hundred-percent proved that Rush is noway, nohow, never-ever said anything offensive, like ever!
What's the theory here? He said these things on the air in 2006 and nobody noticed? 2001? Maybe 1995, back when Clinton was blaming him for Oklahoma City? Hey, let's not get hung up on details. Just because nobody can find any evidence anywhere of Rush saying these "quotes" doesn't mean he didn't say 'em.
Yeah, because we all know the traditional media is the penultimate champion of virtue.
But...er..."Barack the Magic Negro" happened. And then there were those comments on McNabb when Limbaugh had his gig on ESPN. That's just two incidents I can think of off the top of my head. Weren't those alone enough to for y'all to want to keep Limbaugh away from your kids, let alone, you know, a major sports franchise? And Andy? Since you were friends with the ethnics and all, and you kids used to crack the racist jokes with one another - how would your friends feel about you cracking those same jokes to a room full of white men? I'd imagine they wouldn't find it so funny. You know, because that's exactly Limbaugh's audience.
Not sure why these folks want to circle the wagons around someone like that. But, trust me, it's not too flattering to be running point for a (former?) dope-addled racist demagogue. |
