LIMBAUGH: 'WE SUPPOSEDLY HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY'

Drudge ^ | Drudge

Just read on MSNBC web page that the dems cancelled their press conference on the matter of the 'leak. Fearing a backlash!

Of course, they are spinning a different story for the cancellation but MSNBC is suggesting it's fear.

[RobbyS]

Thanks. McNeill doesn't need to talk. In fact, he SHOULD brag a bit.

[Mr. Mojo]

I wonder why Charles Barkley doesn't get this sort of heat for comments he makes?

Because CB is black, and there's an obvious double standard. ....especially where conservative white people (like Rush) are involved.

But my point is that Rush should not have invoked his 1st Amendment rights. .....rights that we all know he has. He simply should've pointed out the double standard I mentioned above, and that the charges against him were unwarranted.

[Tank-FL]

What .. you think OJ did it. nah!

[rwr8084]

Remember, freedom of speech is reserved only for liberals (sarcasm). The Young Republicans from Southern Methodist University found that out the hard way last week.

[freeperfromnj]

Is it the liberal, cable news network question of the day yet?

[Noachian]

I agree with you. I'm not a NFL fan either, but it seems that Rush hit a sore spot among the liberal media.

The only thing I'm interested in is that Rush's statement is true or not true. Those who are worried about the implication of race should get a life.

[RobbyS]

McNAIR, MCNAIR, MCNAIR. See, I suggested he doesn't get enough press. Not enough to be a good player; you have to have a mouth.

Look at my boy, Kitna, there at #6!!

[Coop]

Rush may have inadvertently done the White House a big favor. :-)

[Leroy S. Mort]

This is the best thing that ever happened to McNabb, at least from reading the Eagles newsgroup. They've been ready to draw and quarter him all season , and since Rush, you'd think from reading the posts that Donovan was the Second Coming.

[kinghorse]

Please. No need to remind the black population at my son's middle school of this fact. According to him, every other word out of half their mouths is nigger. My son was accepting of everyone until he saw the racism exhibited by the blacks who purposefully segregate themselves and refer to him as white boy and to their black friends as nigger this and nigger that. The word nigger ought to be treated like a curse word and the punishment for abusers equally applied without regard to race. Ditto white boy.

That is all.

[EnquiringMind]

Uh oh....Rush better hold on to his hat. This is nothing compared to a BIG scandal that will break tomorrow regarding Rush.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Where's Donovon McNabb on this list of the top 20 quarterbacks?

Those are this years numbers, Rush was talking about McNabb getting credit for reaching the NFC Championship game for the last two years.

Did the defence help ?, absolutely (very few teams make it that far without a great defence, the 1984 Dolphins of SB XIX is the last one I remember)

At any rate, there is no way that McNabbs contributions can be discounted.

[Labyrinthos]

What a moron.

Moron? Nah. Intellectually dishonest. You bet. Intellectual lightweight. Most certainly.

[teldon30]

"Everyone is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage." -

Winston Churchill

[Lurking Libertarian]

And somehow his being called to task for his speech is curtailing his freedom? What a moron. He was free to speak, others are free to comment, and so long as the government is not involved this has nothing to do with Free Speech.

Exactly. FReepers who got that point regarding the Dixie Chicks seem to miss it when it involves Rush.

[RobbyS]

Good! The means that no teams is going to have to worry about the Eagles. They will stick with this guy no matter what.

[fortaydoos]

This is just a transparent attack on Limbaugh's politics. I personally think he is too much the party line man and not enough the conservative (and the McNabb HAS BEEN a helluva good QB) but these attacks on what Rush said are complete bs.

[1Old Pro]

I guess RUSH was right again. Philly was #5 in defense last year, obviously carrying their poorly rated quarterback.
