True conservatives are ideologues who are motivated by ideas that have nothing to do with race. We are guilty of telling people to get over race, to forget race, and move onto bigger and better things. Rush exemplifies our attitude towards race, and the left hates him for it. The left revels in race, wallows in race, makes everything about race, because the left needs race to drive wedges between Americans, because the left needs hate and divisions to perpetuate their assault on liberty.
While the liberals may see this as a win, my gut tells me that most Americans are sick of being a presumed racist because they have conservative values. As Rand says, we must reject this unearned guilt and let it fall on deaf ears.
Rush is surely pained by the attacks on him, but he has good thick skin, and knows that *he* is not diminished by the hate speech. The *wonderful* thing about hatred is that it consumes the *hater*, not the *hated*. Go Rush!!!
Well, be it 50 or 100 years, race relations have been set back in the last couple of months!
“Rush’s dismissal is a victory for political correctness, despicable reporting and high tech lynching. No need to fact check racist accusations against Rush, although a few researchers have pursued and failed to find the alleged racist statements.”
Yet CNN can attempt to “fact check” an SNL skit.
H.L. Mencken:
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
The leftist animals and hate-mongers are having their laugh now but Rush will have the last laugh at their expense.
Like everything else leftists do, they lost control and went past defensible boundaries.
They function on feeling, not fact and couldn’t be bothered to have citation in hand before they publically castigated Rush with bogus quotes.
In so doing, they gave him the upper hand.
I think he and his lawyers will take them to the cleaners.
One of the best posts! This is a call to action. Now or never.
Oh, I think they’re going to rue the day they went after Rush on this issue. He has the money and the personal and professional strength to go after them. I’d love to see him sue the pants off every single one of those media commentators who have repeated those comments Rush supposedly made, without even bothering to ‘source’ the comments. It was their full intention to harm him, professionally, with their libel and slander, and they need to face the consequences for doing so.

Just one question - what about liberalism IS defensible?
Seriously, this is why they use character assassination - because their ideology is inherently indefensible, being based on a lie.
Actually, this matter and the strange racial tension caused by the administration may have the opposite effect...of bringing to the fore a whole new breed of America hero (like Lloyd) who banishes the outdated race baiters to the dust bins of history!
Bravo Lloyd!!!
Well, who is believing those stories?
If the NFL owners manned up and had the accusations vetted, then manned up again and say that “CNN and other media outlets” are full of hogwash on this issue and they are glad to have Rush Limbaugh on board, they would get a lot of cheers from the conservative half of America.
I wonder, though, if this is only an excuse and the existing owners are afraid that Rush might get a bit Dutch Uncle about shenanigans by the team players.
I am absolutely going to boycott the NFL.. I get enough football anyway. We need to take a page out of their playbook and start “shaking down” these organizations and the businesses that support them.. I am researching all advertisers and will boycott them. We do not realize the power we have.
The NFL is the most financially sound of the four major sports. It is not going to suffer financially from a boycott by several thousand freepers.
I can’t wait to display my “FREE LIMBAUGH” placard.
Maybe this is more to the point:
“...went past legally defensible boundaries.”
The meme could be spread to many more via, say, bumper sticker.
Contact the (nfl) 212-450-2000 and tell them you have watched your last game, I did.
Why? I like watching football.
