The Corner circles the wagon

by: Jay Stevens

Thu Oct 15, 2009 at 09:40:11 AM MST


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.

the LA Times for the "Barack the Magic Negro."  http://www.latimes.com/news/op...

You missed another verified quote, Jay (0.00 / 0)
The one where Limbaugh claims that the NFL is like the Bloods and Crips having a fight.  This guy obviously hates football.

My question is this:  if the NFL is so racist and intolerant (as Rush said today) why would he, a man of moral strength, want anything to do with it?  Unless, of course, his desire was to turn the Rams into a shining conservative beacon.  That's not really the point of the game, or the league, is it?


The quote in context (0.00 / 0)
can be found here:  http://michaelinmi.wordpress.c...

His explanation can be found here:  http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/ho...

I found the following interesting:  

===================
Now, we had Mercury Morris who was I guess on CNN a couple days ago say, "I know what he's talking about and he's right, I know exactly what he's talking about."  Mercury Morris played for the Dolphins back in the Don Shula era.  My comment could easily be taken as criticism of players.  It was criticism of that kind of -- it was totally unnecessary -- it lost the ball game.  Lost the ball game all for the purpose of strutting around.  And what it was, folks, was criticism of a mind-set.  Regardless what happens here I am a fan of the National Football League.  I devote my Sundays to it.  I travel to stadiums to be part of it.  It's fun being there in person.  I want to continue to be a fan.  I want that game to be up on the pedestal I've put it, and I want the players to be on the pedestal that I've put them.  The players are the game.  You want the best people playing the game you can get in the league, and that's a hard job to find 'em, scouting and all that, the draft.  It's fascinating to me because everybody is trying to pick who they think are the best, and some people are better at picking those players than others, why one team's better than another, traditionally over the years and so on.

You don't seem to realize that Rush's response to his own BS was complete nonsense.

'They're Bloods and Crips but I love them so.  Oh and, yeah, my comment was crap but I won't apologize.  Have I mentioned I love these guys?'

Not to mention the fact he he damned well needs to define his term "best".

Being controversial (0.00 / 0)
both on and off the field is something Limbaugh and many pro players share as the formula for financial success and ego salving.

[ Parent ]
being "controversial" (0.00 / 0)
can also be bad for business. Thus, Limbaugh's exclusion from the ownership group.

It's good to see folks stepping up to bear responsibility for their actions.

Limbaugh receives apology from CNN (0.00 / 0)
Looks like CNN has stepped to bear responsibility for their actions.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Good for CNN... (0.00 / 0)
...for admitting using unconfirmed quotes.

But like I said, the confirmed, acutal quotes are worse than bad. The dude's PR cancer for any legitimate business.

it's now reported (0.00 / 0)
investors approached HIM asking them to be an investor.

honestly, why do you care?  I really doubt any of you watched a Rams game or were involved.  this guy has made a lot of money and if he wants to set it on fire or buy a football team, why are your panties in such a scrunch?  

no one is forcing you to give him any of your money.  i wish i could say the same about your wonderful government you love so much.


Changing the subject, troll? (0.00 / 0)
But you're right.  It doesn't matter if we cared.  The truth is, they did.
