   As I said yesterday, I’m not a fan of Rush Limbaugh, but from everything I’ve ever seen, the only way he is racist is the way the Left calls everyone racist who disagrees with Obama.

   Like the sign at one of the Tea Parties said, “It doesn’t matter what this sign says, you’ll call it racist anyway”.

   you are more than any one label,
   and there are levels of your intent.

   aside from that, you are growing, changing
   and evolving, so, this time next month, you
   will actually be a little different.

   this whole bit about being a conservative or
   a liberal makes me ill. you are human, before
   you became your (self) imposed label.

   and tomorrow you will be different, even if your
   intent has crystalized.

   chuckle - yesterday it was “you can’t attribute anything racist to Rush Limbaugh”, today it’s “the only way he’s racist is if…”

   What? No disputing of the quotes solidly attributed to Rush on Snopes? I’m shocked, SHOCKED, I say!

   Face it - the NFL doesn’t want divisive, polarizing characters who interfere with the profit potential. Period.

   No amount of Oxycontin can save Rush from himself.

   Um, the snopes article document the fabrications…

   Funny, a bunch of black NFL players who are friends of Rush have come out on TV in his defense - I guess those who ACTUALLY KNOW THE MAN don’t think he’s racist. I’d say they’re in the best position to judge.

   You hoopleheads need to ask yourselves a question… why is it SO bleeep important that Rush is labeled a racist, regardless of the facts?

   Again, why are you unable to engage in meaningful debate on his positions on economics, foreign policy, etc…?

   Rush isn’t racist, he’s just a bleep.

    Scott, I did not realize that this was the proper forum to discuss Rush’s positions on economics and foreign policy. Besides that I think he IS a racist based on his past comments and that alone makes him unsuitable to be an owner in the NFL.
    BTW, who are these players? That is a new take on the , I can’t be a racist because I have Black friends argument huh? Bad argument. Kinda like that judge in LA that refuses to marry interracial couples. So using your logic he’s not a racist because by his own account he has tons of Black friends.

    longtime, I suppose you’ve not heard of Michael Vick?

    NOLA, let’s see if Mike Vick can buy a team.

    We all know that existing owners and players are beyond reproach.

    While the NFL is in the business of entertainment, it’s important not to confuse business with entertainment.

    My personal feelings about M. Vick (not a big fan, and even less so for Marcus) are probably not any more or less intense than most NFL fans feel about the hated opposing team.

    Nobody ever really calls for a boycott based on the quarterback, but the NFL is obviously sensitive to the idea of public dissatisfaction with Rush Limbaugh in an ownership role.

    As for Rush, he should just take responsibility for his actions. If you make a fortune spewing hate and propaganda, just accept that you’ve limited your options in expanding into adjacent entertainment markets. In other words, get over it.

    Those of you who don’t live in the Philadelphia area probably don’t understand my response to longtime. Here it is in a nutshell. Whereas longtime said the NFL won’t allow anything to interfere with the profit potential, Michael Vick’s reinstatement and signing by the Eagles has created polarizing calls for boycotts, as well as protests during every game in which he’s played. Pretty well matches what would have happened had Mr. Limbaugh become a PART-owner in the Rams. From reading about the deal, it was fairly clear that Mr. Limbaugh’s stake would be a relatively small minority piece anyway. I guess the difference is that with Michael Vick making money, he’d be able to repay the signing bonus to the Falcons, which would benefit their owner, always a good thing in the minds of the other owners and therefore Commisioner Goodell.

    I think with Vick the NFL can only get better press. He’s done something terrible BUT he served his time and will now start the process of rehabilitating his image. He will do community service and PSA’s and be a good guy. All positives for himself and the NFL. As far as Rush he continues to be a polarizing figure and would continue to be one if he bought the Rams. That is the difference.
