Report: ESPN Hires Nate Silver to Contribute to 'Olbermann'

I would love to see ESPN take it in the shorts. NBC sports network just took English league Premier soccer from ESPN and Fox soccer channel. I would love to see ESPN go belly up. I am sick of their Beyond the Lines shows that are homo loving, backing, pushing homo agenda. If it were not for college football I would not watch the pukes. And I am rapidly not watching much of that any more, so ESPN can go to hell for all I care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ESPN is becoming MSNBC redux. The politically correct slant that the major leagues (in all sports) are taking does nothing to promote sports, and is a thinly veiled attempt at promoting a liberal agenda. Being that ABC / Disney owns ESPN, it is not surprising - they feel the need to use every knife in the drawer to promote the socialist / democrap agenda.

Rush Limbaugh has done more for conservatism than any poster on any conservative message board ever will. He has survived two+ decades of attacks and his own mistakes (the 2003 prescription drug brouhaha) and fostered conservative radio talk shows across the nation that did not exist before Limbaugh's success. In short, Rush is a pioneer.

As a conservative radio commentator, Limbaugh encourages conservatives and counters the media lies and Democrat's attempted manipulation of voters perceptions. Limbaugh has been asked to run for office many, many times but he always responds that he can do far more good for conservatives as a popular radio host, heard 15 hours a week with over 15 million listeners, than as a single elected official who would be ignored by the leftmedia - and he's right.

Yeah, says Rush (from the 1st tee). All he does now is preach to the choir.
If he's so effective talking, how come Liberals have made steady gains for ALL their pet projects including health care, immigration, gay marriage, welfare, etc?
Plus, during Rush's "reign," there have been (or will be) 16 years of Libs in the WH, (Clinton/Øbama) and only 8 years of a Conservative.

Most sports “journalists” are more PC than MSNBC. And they all hate baseball. Steroids are the greatest scandal since Nixon! NFL dementia doesn’t matter. Let’s talk about Jackie Robinson again ,,,

Olberman really knows baseball and has a sense of humor. So, he’s not all bad. We all know he’ll go berserk, but I’m going to give him a chance.

If Rush Limbaugh is as ineffectual as you infer, I find it interesting that the left goes into a tizzy every time he attacks some liberal icon, as in the Sandra Fluke birth control contretemps last year. You may want Limbaugh to do what you think he should be doing but he is exactly where he should be, and Rush knows it. As I previously stated, what you term 'preaching to the choir' is really encouraging and educating conservatives and those who grow skeptical of the left and are seeking alternative voices outside of the always-liberal 'mainstream media'.

Attempting to diminish Rush Limbaugh by using the election of Democrats as evidence of his alleged ineffectiveness is specious and the kind of game liberals play when they routinely claim Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant. The left has the media - electronic and print - firmly in it's back pocket, as it were. Limbaugh is one voice with an audience that totals about 12% of the electorate. He can hardly be expected to sway every presidential election or control congressional legislation. His 22 years on network radio, his good ratings and his huge income all testify to his influence. Of course, for those who really believe Rush Limbaugh is ineffectual and irrelevant, they don't have to listen. I'm sure Rush will do fine without them.
