There&#039;s a better chance of Limbaugh owning this blog and making you regularly dance the meringue naked for him than him ever owning anything in Oakland.</description>

		<description>Jeffie,

Still blithering on about every topic under the sun. Every topic, that is, EXCEPT the fact that your radio dreamboat Rushie is demonstrably a racist. Unless you want to pretend he never said what all of America heard him say about Donovan McNabb. Unless he never was forced to resign from his little sportscaster gig for his hateful, ignorant, and patently stupid slur.

Just like Bush and Bush&#039;s appointee Paulson didn&#039;t funnel 700 billion taxpayer dollars into the hands of the wealthiest people in the world. Just like the financial collapse didn&#039;t happen on Bush&#039;s watch. I bet you go around saying Bush and Cheney &#039;kept us safe&#039;, when it fact the largest terrorist attack in US history HAPPENED ON THEIR WATCH.

Don&#039;t worry about my future, cupcake. I&#039;m not the one cowering in terror of the Secret Muslim/Marxist/AntiChrist/BROWN PERSON. Unlike you, I engage with the real world, and do it quite successfully.

Still no word on my dare - find a black friend, if you can, and ask them to listen to Limbaugh with you and explain what you are to dim and/or dishonest to figure out.

But you don&#039;t have any black friends, do you? And you&#039;re too frightened and bigoted to try to make any. So I guess you&#039;re really just too much of a coward to rise to the challenge. Pathetic.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;I thought we buried that racist label when a black guy got elected to the highest office in the land.&lt;/em&gt;

*HOOOOOO* *SNZRK* Hee hee hee - hooh - can&#039;t...stop...laughing....

&lt;em&gt;as a side note, if Michael Vick can be reinstated, why should Rush be disallowed from owning a team?&lt;/em&gt;

Well, if I buy your assumption, sure. But you&#039;ll recall that I think Vick should still be under the jail. I know you&#039;re not talking to me, but still.

FWIW, I&#039;m fine with Rush buying a team. And since I hate the Rams, I&#039;d be good with that. I&#039;d rather it were the Raiders or Cowboys, but I&#039;ll take whatever I can get. I personally think that Rush in THAT spotlight would be very good for those of us committed to combating racism. Bad for the league, but hey, ain&#039;t no owners begging for change that I can tell....</description>

		<description>Facts Matter,

You&#039;ve given me my chuckle of the day.  For that I thank you.  You should really study your history...there never was a budget surplus,it was just an accounting maneuver.  As far as financial cataclysm, you will be able to claim victim-hood then, as I don&#039;t think you will do too well in the future.

Majii,
I suspect that you would call everyone a racist......good for that old victim mentality. How come your link doesn&#039;t work and takes you to a yahoo page??  Perhaps you aren&#039;t who and what you say you are????  I&#039;ve never heard of a black guy referring to himself as a &quot;Person of Color&quot; since the 60&#039;s. Frankly, you can say what you want about me, but I just laugh.  I&#039;m half Jewish and should be offended by Jesse Jackson referring to New York as Hymietown.....but I&#039;m not, as I&#039;m not as tightly wound as y&#039;all. 

I thought we buried that racist label when a black guy got elected to the highest office in the land.

as a side note, if Michael Vick can be reinstated, why should Rush be disallowed from owning a team?

Y&#039;all need to really lighten up and realize that you&#039;re just being used as tools by people who don&#039;t give a fuck about you......they just lust for power.  Read Nock&#039;s &quot;Our Enemy the State&quot;, if you have the guts.  Here&#039;s the download.  http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig3/nock1.html
Although you don&#039;t realize it, I&#039;m giving you a gift if you get through Nock.

Enough of this threadfuck, I&#039;m done playing and won&#039;t waste any more time on this.

Have fun.</description>

		<description>Dr. Watson,

In typical ditto-head fashion, when your boy Rush is nailed dead to rights, you slither off topic and start blasting away in all directions - liberals, Obama, Sharpton, the coming financial cataclysm, blibbity blah. Distract, distract, distract. Anything rather than respond to the indisputable evidence that Limbaugh&#039;s daily stock in trade is race-baiting hatred.

Back on topic, now. How is calling combat veteran General Powell a racist, and &#039;Genital Powell&#039; not hateful and offensive? How is claiming Donovan McNabb&#039;s stellar record as an athlete, (thanks for the stats, Alec), was mere affirmative action hype not racist? 

When your beliefs about someone&#039;s race blind you to the manifest reality of his worth and ability, isn&#039;t that the very essence of racism?

And were you worried about &#039;financial cataclysm&#039; when Bush started two wars and cut taxes? When he took a substantial budget surplus and turned it into a record-breaking deficit? When he went in front of the country and said we had to give $700 trillion dollars to the banks, no strings attached, or face, uhhh, what was it again? Something very similar to a &#039;financial cataclysm&#039;, wasn&#039;t it?

As for poor snookums Rushie being able to spend his money freely, he can spend away. Maybe he can field the only all-white football team in America, and we can all see how superior their performance is to those &#039;affirmative action&#039; teams.</description>

		<description>Alec,

That &quot;Silly little Fascist&quot; comment just let me know all I need to know about you. And you should study some law before you stick your whole leg in your mouth.....he does indeed have the legal right in the United States to buy something because he has the money. Politics, race, religion, sexual orientation and several other things are not allowed to interfere with the legal, willful transfer of real property   Study the logic of your arguments and get your facts straight  before you make a bigger fool out of yourself.</description>

		<description>As a person of color, I can say that it&#039;s oftentimes difficult for persons for whom these comments aren&#039;t intended to have problems believing that racism is involved.  All I can say about this is that, until you become a target and are confronted with it on an almost daily basis, you have no true understanding of the effect(s) that these words and actions have on that person/group.  You are standing on the outside looking in, and IMO, you have zero credibility when it comes to deciding whether racism exists or not.  I know racism when I see or hear it.  Limbaugh is a racist.  Could it be a tactic he uses to increase the number of listeners he has?  Could it be a tactic to make more money for himself?  The answer to these questions could be yes, but it&#039;s racism all the same.</description>

You are standing on the outside looking in, and IMO, you have zero credibility when it comes to deciding whether racism exists or not.  I know racism when I see or hear it.  Limbaugh is a racist.  Could it be a tactic he uses to increase the number of listeners he has?  Could it be a tactic to make more money for himself?  The answer to these questions could be yes, but it&#8217;s racism all the same.</p>

		<description>Jeff,
You still have not explained how saying McNabb was overrated because he is black makes any sense and is not racist. Especially when the overwhelming evidence says otherwise. What is the &quot;certain logic&quot; to calling out McNabb when the statistics didn&#039;t warrant it?

 you silly little fascist, the NFL is a league, not 16 separate entities. They are not excluding conservatives. They are excluding one specific person based on individual reasons. Rush&#039;s politics have nothing to do with his exclusion, as evidenced by overwhelming support owners give to conservatives.  If conservatives were excluded from the NFL there wouldn&#039;t be any owners! 

Now, Jeff, do I have the constitutional right to own your business if I have the money? Do I have the constitutional right to own your home if I have the money. Hell no and rightfully so. Just because Rush has the money does not mean he has the constitutional right to buy something. He is not being excluded based on race,religion,gender, or even his politics. He is being excluded cause he is an asshole and a racist.</description>

		<description>Jeff: A good number of &quot;liberals&quot; do in fact undertake policies that make things worse for minorities. No doubt. I&#039;m currently reading &lt;em&gt;In Defense of Elitism&lt;/em&gt;, and the author does a nice job on this very subject (for the most part - his enthusiasm for the polemic leads him to overreach in places, as well). However, it would be difficult to brand someone a racist if their intent was to help whatever group was in question. Unless, of course, you were dealing with a particular breed of paternalism that combined a certain good-heartedness with a basic belief that said group was too dumb to save itself. I&#039;m sure we&#039;ve both seen that, as well as its results. For the record, I&#039;m not a Sharpton or Jackson fan (I&#039;ve never quite forgotten &quot;Hymietown,&quot; although Al can sometimes be great for entertainment value). So at the level of general principle, I can cede this point.

The problem is that it says nothing about Limbaugh. As bad as Sharpton and Jesse can be (and have been) it&#039;s impossible to take seriously anyone who&#039;d argue that Limbaugh isn&#039;t a race-baiter - in fact, I&#039;m not sure but what he isn&#039;t America&#039;s most prominent race-baiter.</description>

		<description>Liberals like to point fingers at conservatives being racist, where it is the liberal policies that have institutionalized racism in this country.  You ought to be beating up on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.  Liberals are the racists, but won&#039;t admit it due to their theoretical &quot;Niceness,&quot; which is one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated.

Another thing, why should someone&#039;s politics disallow them from owning something. Limbaugh has every right to own the team if he has the money. Not letting him buy the team  could set a bad precedent.....How would you feel if there were communities who wouldn&#039;t allow you to exercise your freedom to buy real property due to your radical beliefs. In your smugness, you might not imagine such a thing happening, but with this socialistic gang in charge, all property rights are in danger(just ask the bond holders at GM).  The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and we&#039;re headed there...you just don&#039;t get it but you will soon enough.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;If Rush were so racist, why are his staff and confidants mostly black.&lt;/em&gt;

Sorry, but the world is a complex place. The existence of exceptions doesn&#039;t disprove the rule, nor do we get anywhere by pretending that if it ain&#039;t wearing a hood it ain&#039;t a racist.</description>

		<description>@Facts matter, That&#039;s Dr. Watson to you.  If Rush were so racist, why are his staff and confidants mostly black. One should take Snopes with a grain of salt(they are not impartial), whereas you look at them as the holy grail and truth of biblical proportions.  A better discussion would to be to explore the racism in the Obama camp, and not worry about an entertainer like Rush. A better discussion would be to explore Obama&#039;s selling our country from under us lock, stock, and barrel. We shouldn&#039;t look at Rush, any more than we should consider Michael Moore to be an authority on anything,  Y&#039;all waste so much time going back and forth in these pitiful, sophomoric discussions, thinjking you are actually accomplishing something.  You really need to be worried about the coming economic cataclysm.....and it is coming..</description>
