Reply #54: More Defense of Rush, His COMMENTS THIS TIME

[sleipnir]

I can't believe the day has come for me to defend Rush Limbaugh, but it's here.

I agree that Rush is a hateful man, but his comments were, now hold on here, blown out of proportion. As a sports fan, white guy and occasional Eagles guy, I have to say that the reporters did go easy on McNabb early on after two horrific games. I will admit that I do root for McNabb, to some degree because he's black and I like to see diversity and watch the rest of the white-racist assholes cry out in the night over the conterversy. Now, I'm not sure if the reporters went easy on McNabb because of his skin color, it's entirely possible, and I think probable. Is it all right for Rush to say this on-air? Maybe out of taste, but nothing too horrific. It's not like he was advocating lynchings, the KKK and the like. For all of you look at the real Rush quote which was

"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."

The real comment isn't that bad, not worth being fired over. I hate to admit this but, Rush does know what he's talking about when it comes to Football. He does his research, he knows the game, and he's quite the fan I hear. I think his recent comment was probably on the money. SO, why are we so afraid to admit this fact....Why can't we openly dicuss race in America today?

We can only change what we acknowledge.
