Freepers admit they're racist. They consider Limbaugh to be brilliant.

"You nailed it. Just watched Harold Ford do the tap dance on Fox News. Can't wait to see Rush address this issue on Sunday."

"Rush made a completely true statement within the context of sports and the way it is marketed. The political undertone of the statement is why everyone is so pissed - so Rush did what he wanted to do - he generated massive media attention for his show, for his ESPN bosses, and he made a political point all without talking about politics."

"I am wondering if this was setup. Rush is an entertainer and in order to get some traction on TV he was going to have to say something like this.I think this is genius."

"Rush is one great person, he's the Huck Finn type -- mischievious, happy go lucky, loves people, likable."

"I think the hoopla over the lack of blacks in quarterback and head coach positions is racist BS. The problem is that Rush points out the racisim in the rest of the world where people even bring up the subject of skin color in relation to who has what jobs, and then HE is the one attacked for pointing out the racisim in others."

"Maybe McNabb will one day accumulate the same sort of career numbers to prove Limbaugh wrong, but I doubt it."

"The outrage isn't in what Rush said, because it's right on the money. The outrage is that the liberal media, who couldn't give a hoot in hell who ESPN has on (as long as it's NOT Limbaugh), want's McNabb to be offended.

If I were McNabb, I'd be offended all right...at these turds in the media who have never bought a ticket to even a high school football game (and never intend to) who are trying to societally pressure him into taking up THEIR banner, as though he's of an inferior race intellectually, and NEEDS the smart guys in the media to tell him when to be offended."

"In other words, Rush Limbaugh will shine from this -- when it's over."

If he comes out and talks about politics, then it will be a massive SITYS for all the sports writers that didn't want to see him in sports because of the politics.

"Local news in Philly just did half their broadcast on it. What BS. They've totally ignored what he said. Sadly, I'm not shocked."

"It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he (Rush) took the opportunity (of his ESPN exposure) to blast the Dems for their disgraceful behavior with the Wilson nonsense this week."

1. Am I reading this correctly?

"It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he (Rush) took the opportunity (of his ESPN exposure) to blast the Dems for their disgraceful behavior with the Wilson nonsense this week."
WHAAAAAAAAT??? Us? Disgraceful? If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is!!!

2. You read it right.

I am stunned when I encouter this sort of illogic. I don't even know where to begin. It Appears that outing a covert CIA agent for political payback has become an honorable thing to do. And saying that a brilliant Quarterbcak is only there because of his skin color and not his abilaties is not racism, it's the truth.

Up is down, left is right.

3. And the Mad Hatter is running the show

Assholes!

4. Huck Finn

To compare Rush to Huck Finn? Obviously never read the book!

5. That's some serious denial over there in freeperland

"Rush did the honorible thing as usual"? Wow!

6. when in reality - it is the second time Rush tried his schtick for Main

Stream America...

and was rejected. He just said the kind of stuff he says to "his" listeners. But with a very different reaction because most of America are not like "his" listeners. Just like Wiener/Savage - it was only a matter of time for this to happen. You can't just hide that level of hatred, racism (and sexism) without some of it seeping out.

Resigned, my behind. He was forced out. His self-righteous sputterings on his show today demonstrated his belief that he was in the right and was being unfairly maligned. That is not someone who is contrite and realizes that resigning is the noble thing to do for the 'good of the show'.
