Rush Limbaugh WHINES AGAIN!

This past week I posted a blog post on my Takeaway Blog and here reflecting on Rush Limbagh’s bid to be part of an ownership group. My critic of paled in comparison to the one offered by Dave Zirin.

 

Yesterday Rush was bumped from the prospective team because he was making it difficult. ESPN reported:

All franchise sales must be approved by 24 of the NFL's 32 teams -- an ownership group that is overwhelmingly white, conservative and focused on the bottom line, which could have suffered if fans or advertisers were angered by Limbaugh.

And then went on to report:

Said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who was a loud voice of opposition to Limbaugh's bid: "It's remarkable in that he was denied by other powerful whites. At the end of the day, his own peers said, 'You are a liability.' Even the rich and powerful do not want to be identified with racism."

Rush Limbaugh is a crybaby that never takes responsibility for his own actions. He is NOT a conservative and real thinking conservatives and libertarians should be ashamed of him. When pinched in a corner, he lashes out like a scared child an blames Obama for anything he does not like. His anger and his Fear mongering finally took away something that he wanted – good riddance.

 

In fact he is a modern day fascist in that he has created a religion out of nationalism and his particular brand and point of view.

 

He is the worst example of American.

Obviously, I am no Dave Zirin, read his excellent piece on the Rush Reaction

Where he quotes the following:

 

We can only assume that he is proud to have said , "The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons."

 

Or these other gems :

 

“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal . They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

 

“Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”

 

To an African-American caller:

 

“Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

 

Or upon hearing that Spike Lee said that black schoolchildren should take off from school to see the movie Malcolm X :

 

“Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater and then blow it up on their way out.”

 

Or calling Barack Obama "Halfrican-American " and saying:

 

“In Obama's America , the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, ‘Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on’.... We need segregated buses--it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama's America.”

 

Zirin adds:

 

Some are surprised that ownership didn't welcome Limbaugh with a passionate embrace because most owners are to the right of Attila the Hun. They are billionaires who have feasted at the public trough of corporate welfare while basking in tax breaks for the rich. In other words, they constitute Limbaugh's base. But his membership in this exclusive fraternity of billionaires would violate the first rule of ownership: protect the bottom line.

Man, it really bums me out to see some of the comments you get over on the Takeaway blog. Some people really have nothing better to do with their time than wander the Internet trying to infect as many others as they can with their hate and fear. It takes a special kind of mental strength to put yourself out there knowing that some folks are going to take it as an opportunity to hate on you just for being you. Kudos to you my friend.
