13. Limbaugh has been in the toilet w/racism for years. Example QB Donovan McNabb

ESPN fired him for this crap. Rush's the only reason the media thinks Donovan McNabb is a good
player is because they want to support a black man.

************

Before McNabb led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 23-13 victory
over the Buffalo Bills, Limbaugh said on ESPN's "Sunday NFL
Countdown" that McNabb is overrated. However, Limbaugh injected his comment with racial overtones that have set off a controversy.

"Sorry to say this, I don't think he's been that good from the get-go," Limbaugh
said. "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in
the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback
do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a
lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't
deserve. The defense carried this team."

BTW McNabb was 6 times all pro in the NFL and set records @ Syracuse that still stand.
