    Everything Rush says about the Left is true.
    But, he leaves out the bad about the Right, and the good about the Left.
    All in all, we know capitalism works with people who show initiative. So it’s worth supporting inspite of what the marxist-leninists that post here say.
    One point not made is about how the “exclusive” owners of football (whose industry caters to the moneyed) have booted out the No.1 champion of exclusivity…Socialism is on the move!

    Commissioner says he doesn’t fit NFL image–must because he hasn’t beaten his wife, shot himself or killed anyone, etc., etc.!

    Dittohead: “Who’s” is the contraction of “who is” or “who was.” The word you want is the possessive “whose.”

    The idea that Rush isn’t worthy, character-wise, to be part-owner of a football team is so ludicrous as to defy all logic.

    I keep trying to tell your average out-to-lunch, politically-ignorant American that the Left is out to control everyone’s lives, and force everyone at the point of a gun to think a certain way… OR ELSE.

    There’s just no way to reach your average ignoramus though, who can’t even define for you what “left” and “right” translates into, in American society…

    Yuh, poor little Rush is such a powerless and abused victim.

    The interloper Sharpton has been responsible for far more deaths than El Rushbo. It can be empirically shown that Rush Limbaugh has helped more Black people—and people in general—than Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackass.

    ^ Like to see that empirical proof.

    Am I supposed to feel sorry for Limblahblah because his business partners dumped him? Oh too bad. That’s the way capitalism works, Rushiepoo, love it or leave it.

    I think McCoy’s hyperbole goes a bit too far. So what, someone said something bad about Mr. Limbaugh? He’ll live with it. Hey, he says a lot of bad things about his political opponents.

    I agree that there should be no laws preventing Rush from purchasing or going in with a group to buy an NFL franchise. Oh wait, are none!

    People expressed their distaste for Rush, and the NFL listened because they don’t want to alienate their customers – and the purchasing group dumped Rush. It’s capitalism, plain and simple. Right wing groups have often organized boycotts of products they don’t like. Also part of capitalism, no?

    But don’t feel sorry for Rush. He didn’t want this in the first place. He just wanted the publicity and the martyr complex. So, he wins.

  14. ezdeb

    ezdeb said, about 1 month ago

    Oh dear god, what a horrid toon. It’s about race if anyone says no to Rush.

    It’s so not about race if Rush says racist sh*t day after day after day after day.

    Poor Rush! And the absurdity of the toon continues with the idea that it’s horrible nigg*r people who say no to Rush! As if the ownership in the NFL is not filled with rightwing white people.

    Snort.

    English teacher, here’s my question. I have a problem knowing whether a word ends with “ence” or “ance”. I’m wrong about 50% of the time, although I’m pretty smug about the rest of my word usage.

    Have a good friday all! Except Scott “I keep trying to tell your average out-to-lunch, politically-ignorant American that the Left is out to control everyone’s lives, and force everyone at the point of a gun to think a certain way… OR ELSE.”

    Imagine the nerve of people not to believe what Scott keeps trying to tell them!! I recently fired an employee who just would not stop haranguing both co-workers and customers with his admonitions that all of us; the above mentioned out-to-lunch average Americans, were idiots for not hating Obama.

    Complaints poured in and valued employees of 20 years threatened to walk out on the spot if the man spoke to them. Customers left if they saw him coming. He was let go, and is now claiming that he was fired for his political views. He’s an idiot, so is Scott, and neither one of them can figure out why they have no friends.

    Wrong use of a semicolon, Ezdeb. A semicolon is used to separate independent clauses. A comma would have sufficed.

    Hey, burenar, thanks, I guess;, what about my “ence” vs “ance” dilemma?;

    EnglishTeacher said, about 1 month ago

    Gee, ezdeb; you may have me stumped here. I am not aware of any grammatical rule to cite here. Best I can offer is that they are different words that are spelled differently.

    Students often confuse “dependent” and “dependant.” The former is an adjective; the latter a noun. But I don’t think that’s a generalizable rule. They’re just different words.

    I think. Anybody?

    The number one rule of English is that every rule has an exception. It’s a lot like religion, military regulations, and the hypocrisy in current “America” that allows every radical view to see themselves as the exception to every rule they would impose on others.

    Capital is the core driving force of the capitol, AND the punishment for about every Old Testament crime or violation- so spelling isn’t always the answer to meaning.

    It was also the punishment Rush called for with all drug dealers and abusers, until HE got caught.

  21. danTheForth

    danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

    ezdeb, you either misinterpreted the toon or you misunderstood the situation behind it. This isn’t claiming that Rush was kicked around by Jackson and Sharpton over race, but that Rush was kicked around with claims that he’s racist. Sharpton made claims that Rush said some things he never said, and made some ambiguous statements out to be explicitly racist.

    And since you claim that he “says racist [stuff] day after day after day after day,” can you give a few examples? It seems from your statement that you listen regularly, so I’m sure you could come up with at least 5 in the last few months off the top of your head. But that’s a lot to ask, so how about 3 in the last 5 years? How about 2? 1? Be specific, and back it up.

    The McNabb incident? He basically claimed that those in sports media were racist (against non-blacks), but didn’t say anything negative about a particular race. It was an incredibly dumb comment, but I don’t know how it’s racist. The bloods/crips comment? I know at least one commentator claimed that since members of those “groups” are mostly minority, that must be what he meant (I saw a 30-second clip from O’Reilly). It couldn’t be that these gangs, like NFL players, are known for violence, drugs, misogyny and crime, right? I’ve yet to see anyone come up with a source for his supposed defense of slavery.

    That said, I agree with the toon that Rush was “kicked around” by several parties, but I don’t think it’s a big deal that he was denied the opportunity. There’s no reason anyone should be forced to sell to him or invest with him.

    Dittohead,

    While I respect your trying to find a middle ground vis a vis Limbaugh, the fact is, you’re wrong.

    Rush tells outright lies about the left, it’s motivations, it’s ideology, it’s actions. He knows he’s telling non truths. He hides behind the “I’m an entertainer” line when he’s called on it.

    Howgozit,

    Fit the NFL OWNER image. Not the players. The players are hired beasts, gladiators if you will, they are not even supposed to be marketable like baseball players or basketball players (which is just as well because they don’t sell Footbal trading cards anyway. Football, the game is supposed to be “roid rage!”

    Owners are supposed to be the aristocracy, the plutarchs of America.

    What happened to Rush Limbaugh ought to raise your blood pressure and make it run cold. He was told by the blue bloods that his money wasn’t good enough.

    It’s class warfare, and one of ours tried to get into the “Heir up there” and was dismissed as one of the great unwashed!

    Don’t think for a second that it would be any different for you! The rich want to keep you poor!

    You should not vote for their self interests! You should not vote Republican

    danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

    dtrouma, I missed your comment before. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but when did Rush say that all drug abusers should face capital punishment? I don’t necessarily doubt it, but that’s the kind of thing I’d like to see backed up before I accept it.

  24. bgarner

    bgarnerGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    NFL ownners are in the entertainment business and probably think that having an owner who the majority of Americans regard as a fulminating gasbag raciist whackjob would be bad for business. It was the capitalist ownders and not the players and Al Sharptons who sacked him.

  25. ezdeb

    ezdeb said, about 1 month ago

    Dan, it seems hard to believe that you’ve just NEVER heard of Rush Limbaugh’s racism since Obama began campaigning, but here’s just a really recent one.

    “You put your kids on a school bus you expect safety but in Obama’s America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering ‘yeah, right on, right on, right on.’ Of course everybody said the white kid deserved it he was born a racist, he’s white.”

    That was just a few weeks ago. Race comes into it for Rush, and was NOT retracted when the local police corrected him.

    If I’m misinterpreting the cartoon, why are only black people beating up on Rush?

    Perhaps you will need proof that FoxNews is not fair and balanced, also. I’m sure you’ve seen no proof for yourself.

    Perhaps Rush now wants the government to step in and force capitalists to include him in their capitalist games?

  28. believecommonsense

    believecommonsenseGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    ezdeb, yes, I remember that Limbaugh quote well, as well as when he recently told a female caller to take the bone out of her nose and call back later. (He apparently apologized for that later.) What’s happening with Rush and the football purchase is a good example of “You reap what you sow.” I think it’s funny and well-deserved.

  29. churchillwasright

    churchillwasright said, about 1 month ago

    ^ You must have a terrific memory, since the bone/nose comment was made in the mid ‘70’s, while he was a DJ. You might want to double check with Soros and Media Matters on that one. Or you could just go to Snopes.

  30. danTheForth

    danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

    So, ezdeb, you must not have read about the incident (referred to in a McCoy Comic) where several black students beat up a white student on a bus while several students cheered them on. They beat him up for sitting in the wrong seat. It’s not a racist comment, it’s an actual incident:
    http://www.bnd.com/homepage/story/926746.html
    I’m guessing Rush’s preceding and following comments had something to do with the fact that “Obama’s America” was supposed to be a post-racial America.

  31. believecommonsense

    believecommonsenseGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    ^^ you’re a few days behind church. I responded to a question from another poster about four days ago that I looked at snopes and found that some of the recent claims about things Rush had said weren’t sourced and some were. BTW, the snopes.com page I looked at didn’t even include his recent “right on, right on, right on” comment about the incident on the bus.

  32. churchillwasright

    churchillwasright said, about 1 month ago

    “I remember that Limbaugh quote well, as well as when he recently told a female caller to take the bone out of her nose and call back later”

    Per Snopes: Limbaugh acknowledged saying it… but it “occured not on Limbaugh’s now familiar… radio program, but at the beginning of his broadcast career back in the early 1970’s [during a stint as an insult-radio DJ]…”

    If you already researched this on Snopes, why did you repeat that “he recently” said this? The only thing “you recall” and “you recently heard” was some talking head saying this cr@p yet again.

  33. believecommonsense

    believecommonsenseGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    I acknowledge the word “recently” in my earlier post was incorrect. The comment itself is documented, however, and Limbaugh apologized for it.

    Why did you put quotes around “you recall” and “you recently heard” since neither is a quote from me. Do you know what quotation marks are used to signify, church? Direct, verbatim quotations of others. Notice how I didn’t even write the word recall, nor the words recently heard in my posts above?

    You’re not supposed to use quotation marks when you make up things in your own head, church. Good time for you to learn something, check it out on wiki or many other reference sites.

  34. churchillwasright

    churchillwasright said, about 1 month ago

    “…I remember that Limbaugh quote well, as well as when he recently …”

    Sorry I inadvertenly flipped “remember” with “recall”. Care to explain the difference?

    And you’re right, I misplaced my ” ” marks, and should have used some [ ]’s, but my point is clear, and you can’t stand by your remarks.

    You said you were (personally) remembering something he had recently said, and that was untrue, and you were called on it. Face it like a man! (and yes, I know you’re a female, it’s an expression)

  35. believecommonsense

    believecommonsenseGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    ^ ”Sorry I inadvertenly flipped “remember” with “recall”. Care to explain the difference?”

    because one word was a quote and one was not, and since you used quotation marks, it matters. Seriously, you need to learn what quotations mean. Look it up. When you paraphrase something someone said, you don’t use quotations marks, and you indicate you’re paraphrasing.

    ”you can’t stand by your remarks.”

    sheesh, you’re a very tiring person. I acknowledged my use of the word ‘recently’ was erroneous. The Limbaugh remark is itself is verifiably correct, as you acknowledged. Therefore, except for the word ‘recently’, my statement is correct so of course I stand by it.

    Do you have reading comprehension deficits too?
