I have been a faithful Rush Limbaugh radio show listener for almost 20 years. I have never heard Rush make one racist comment. As a matter of fact, I am a black man who has been inspired and encouraged by Rush on numerous occasions. Rush is part of a partnership bidding to purchase an NFL football team. I am highly offended watching the liberal media's all out assault on this great American. In their efforts to block Rush from ownership of a team, the liberal media and the Left are attempting to brand Rush as a racist.
The media's charges of racism against Rush are totally based on supposed "racist quotes" which cannot be documented and comments knowingly taken out of context from his radio show. As a member of Rush's weekly 20 million listening audience, I take the assault on him personally. If Rush is a racist, then isn't it logical to assume that we, his listeners, are equally guilty for tolerating his racism? Obviously, Rush's accusers have never listened to his radio show or else have an agenda. It is truly disheartening and infuriating to witness the media's frenzied character assassination of Rush built on falsehoods and hearsay without one shred of evidence. Knowing the truth about Rush, how can I possibly trust any reporting by the mainstream media?
Adding insult to injury, Rev. Al Sharpton, considered to be a respected spokesperson for the black community by the liberal media has weighed in with his opposition to Rush being allowed to own a team. Given Sharpton's role in the Tawana Brawley scam, it is truly amazing that he is considered a credible representative of the black community... talk about Bizarro World. How dare this characterless con man pass judgment on Rush!
Beyond Rush, the larger issue is the tyrannous yoke political correctness has on our society and the swift punishment delivered with an iron fist by its enforcers, the liberal biased media. Rush's true crime is boldly speaking the truth about several of the liberal media's sacred cows, challenging their premises and opposing their far left agenda.
For example, the NAACP, a sacred cow of the Left, is without question a liberal partisan organization. Rush, a white guy, stated this truth out loud, thus violating rule number one on the media's politically correct list of do's and don'ts. "Whites under no circumstances are permitted to publicly criticize blacks." Offenders are verbally flogged within an inch of their lives and branded with a virtual "R" on their forehead for racist.
The liberal media has no problem with throwing Rush's 20 million listeners along with Rush under their "you're a racist" bus. They are relentless in protecting their sacred cows and are willing to sacrifice and impugn all. Take their sacred cow ObamaCare, outrageously, the liberal media calls the over 50% of Americans who oppose it racists. When their married president Bill Clinton had sex with an intern, the liberal media told us that every man in America, fathers, clergy, coaches and whomever would behave as Clinton did if given the opportunity. To defend Clinton, the liberal media sacrificed the morals and character of all men. In essence proclaiming, "All men are dogs".
Remember what the liberal media did to a young beauty pageant contestant who shyly gave a politically incorrect response when asked about gay marriage, another of their sacred cows? Miss California, Carrie Perjean was vilified.
While I stand beside my hero, Rush Limbaugh, as I stated earlier there is a much larger issue at stake extremely threatening to our freedom, liberty and culture. We cannot trust the mainstream media. We are at war; liberal media's and the Left's Political Correctness versus the Freedom and Free Speech of the America people. Our enemy's mission is to silence all dissent. We serfs must worship their sacred cows or suffer the consequences.
The liberal media and the Left have been attempting to silence Rush and other conservatives for years. Make no mistake about it, their latest bogus "Rush is a racist" campaign is another stealth attack on our freedom of speech. It is extremely important that lovers of freedom rally around Rush Limbaugh. Silencing Rush would be a major victory in their quest to silence and control us all.

By the way Lloyd, that “you could be a black person” was for you sweetie.
It makes me sad too. I have said before on other threads, I was born after the civil rights movement. When I went to school, in the ‘deep south’ of Georgia, no one batted an eye at having black teachers, fellow students, anything. Sure, there were some racists around, but my neighbor’s dad was the most racist person I ever met and he was from New York. So region doesn’t have too much to do with it.
Until Obama was elected, I foolishly believed that the goal was to remove skin color from even being an issue at all. It seems that I was wrong and that makes me sad.
Pros and Cons: The Criminals Who Play in the NFL (Hardcover)
Startling in its breadth, Benedict and Yaeger's investigation into the off-the-field violence and criminal behavior that pervades the culture of professional football is as eye opening as it is disturbing. That these guys get into trouble is nothing new, but when their offenses are collected in one place--with mug shots, court records, police reports, and interviews with arresting officers--the effect is as surreal as the statistics: 21 percent of the NFL's players have been charged with a serious crime.
It's not known as the National Felons League fer nuthin'....
If Rush is racist, why isn’t Al Sharpton? Jessie Jackson? The “Reverand” Wright? Senator Byrd?
And the Players Union has a problem with Rush Limbaugh....
The NFL would be foooooooolish not to let Rush in. Just by doing that, they’d gain a potential 20 MILLION fans.
Utter foolishness if they don’t.
Rush’s critics typically listen to his critics tell them “what Rush said (often fabricated on the spot)” and not to what Rush really said. He’s right. His critics should listen to him, Rush Limbaugh.
In selecting Smith this year, the union chose Washington smarts over football experience. Smith, a Washington lawyer, served on the Obama transition team and also worked for Eric Holder before Holder became attorney general.
Demaurice Smith is head of the NFLPA.
WINNER DECLARED: DEMAURICE SMITH
Question: Is union business usually done in Hawaii?
Because they view Rice as a race traitor?

Don't be premature. The NFL hasn't done anything yet. If and when an ownership proposal is placed before them, and they act upon it, that would be the time to scrutinize the NFL.
Soon has arrived for some of us already.
Have you ever listened to Rev. Al’s radio show?
I picked up a few broadcasts when I was working near Atlanta a couple years ago and it was pretty much the opposite of EIB.
I haven't cared in over a decade..........its very freeing, when you realize, they can call you any name and they will, especially when you speak the truth.
If by Racist you mean an anti-Obama person who doesn’t want America to become a Liberal trash box—then I guess I must get my muli-colored sheets and burn a cross or two. Its time to not let labels stand in the way of protests. As Rhett Butler once said, “Frankly, Madam, I don’t give a D*mn.”
Did you hear or read Goodell’s comments? Do you think the NFL owners will discipline him?
As much a chance of that happening as there is of the NFL getting someone to sing the National Anthem without funking it up.
