1. Oh, poor Rush Limbaugh. But I guess that's just the Market speaking.

They don't want you. So, what's your next move? Whine? Sue? You might need one of those evil trial lawyers for that.

[villager]

2. they just top their offensiveness with more offensiveness

...it's all they know how to do...

[YOY]

3. Sing "Old Man River" for me Rush.

Show me your hope amidst despair in a world that rejects you for the content of your character and not the color of your skin!

[GoCubsGo]

13. I'd rather hear him sing...

..."Rush, the Magic White Boy."

[niceypoo]

4. People like Rush and Beck are rejected by the real world

You made your own bed Rush. Nighty night.

[thenooch]

5. I like the way...

Rush gets the old school (conservative) porcelain fountain,

and the everyone else gets the modern (progressive) stainless
steel unit...

That's the real essence IMHO...

6. There are disreputable pro sports owners

Rap singers JayZ and Nelly own parts of the NJ Nets and Charlotte Bobcats.

Just look up some of their lyrics and I bet you'll find that they're just as offensive as any Limbaugh rant.

Hypocrisy should be recognized in all its forms, regardless of slant.

I hate to even get into this discussion, but those NFL players wouldn't bat an eye if a 7 figure contract was put in front of them, principle be damned.

Also, for all non-NFL fans, google Leonard Little and Jamal Lewis - both currently active players - one a convicted cocaine dealer and the other killed a woman while he was drunk. Ironically, Mr Little is a member of the St Louis Rams. He even scored a touchdown today!

7. Invoking a civil rights image to defend a bigot takes a lot of hutzpuh.

[smoogatz]

23. So, the fact that a couple of rappers are part owners of NBA teams

and some black football players have criminal records proves what, again? That Limbaugh's racism is justified? That those in the NFL who voiced objections to his being part owner of the Rams were hypocrites--how? I really don't get your point, except that you seem to be trying to divert the argument away from Limbaugh's obviously racist outbursts and onto other people's shortcomings. It's not about them--it's about whether having overt, unapologetic racists as part-owners of NFL teams is good or bad for the league. And I disagree that every player in the NFL thinks only in money terms--some do, some don't. It's not like star players wouldn't have plenty of other offers.

24. Jay-Z and Nelly are your examples citing 'disreputable pro sports owners'??

holy damn...

[LiberalFighter]

8. Varvel is a snake, slug, swine virus.

[Enrique]

9. everyone else gets to own a football team?

really?

[Trocadero]

10. C'mon! Limbaugh has an ENTITLEMENT to a team!

[calimary]

11. Ouch!!!

Dang - GREAT one! You suppose he'll even get it?

[krispos42]

12. Yup, that's damn stupid all right

Just stupid.

It makes no sense. ANYBODY that said stupid racist shit then tried to buy a stake in a public company, ESPECIALLY one with majority-black employees (that aren't afraid to strike or quit, by the way) would come under critisism.

[Jennicut]

14. Oh please, he was not denied anything. The people who wanted to buy the Rams

simply dropped him from participating in the buying of the team. No one from the NFL denied him anything.

[Occam Bandage]

15. Poor Rush. Denied his dream to own dozens of strong, young black men to work for him. nt

[Orsino]

16. Standing up for a private citizen's right to own a team.

Limbaugh = Rosa Parks

[lame54]

17. 400 Pounds of Oppression

[Arugula Latte]

18. Oh, poor, poor Victim Rush.

Maybe he should go stick his head in an oven -- it's that bad.

[PVnRT]

19. Varvel is a piece of shit and always has been

[RepublicanElephant]

20. up is down, right is wrong, black is white, rush is right. nt

[Number23]

21. Why does it seem as if the most clueless white people in the world

are always the biggest fans of frequent and (horribly misused and inappropriate) separate water fountain references?
