Apologize to Rush!
By David Weigel 10/28/09 4:59 PM


Here’s an interesting confrontation from a hearing on the Hill today between Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. King said he’d “scoured” Rush Limbaugh’s infamous comment that the media was giving Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb too much credit because he was black and found no racism in it whatsoever — Limbaugh, said King, was calling out the media for reverse racism. Goodell and King went back and forth a bit, but King refused to budge on his position that Limbaugh was being smeared as a racist even though he’s colorblind about race. King went on to say that Goodell was being a hypocrite by failing to criticize some hip-hop stars with stakes in NFL teams.

I don’t think anything that Rush Limbaugh said was offensive, but with Fergie and with J-Lo, they have, between the two of them, alleged that the CIA are terrorists and liars, they’ve promoted sexual abuse of women, they’ve used the N word, verbal pornography, recreational drug use, etc. And they are owners of the Dolphins. And it’s also ironic that Fergie was approved as an owner on the very day that you made your statement on Rush Limbaugh.


It’s probably worth mentioning that the House Judiciary Committee hearing was titled “Legal Issues Related to Football Head Injuries.”

2. I'll do it for them.
Rush, we're sorry that you are a racist douche nozzle. We are also sorry that you are so fucking stupid that you think that a club composed exclusively of old, rich, white guys refusing to associate with the likes of you is somehow a "iberal assault" on American values. Please, have a cigar, pop a Viagra, and head out to find an other under-aged Dominican boy to bone. You'll feel better in the morning.

3. A shameful and disgusting cabal.



The RW Media Hatemongers and the RW pols are in bed together
and they don't even bother to hide the fact any more. There
was a time when they used a little discretion but now they
don't even seem to care who knows.

4. Maybe someone should google ALL THE THINGS
he has said about the NFL and the players and mail them to King. Of course emails don't work...they are just deleted. Send a registered letter..ask for it to be signed for and the receipt sent back. Also send copies of the letters to the MSM and see if they would follow thru with it.
