Limbaugh whines that NFL is an outpost of ‘racism and liberalism.’

By Alex Seitz-Wald

Hate radio show host Rush Limbaugh’s bid to purchase a minority stake in the St. Louis Rams failed yesterday, after players, a team owner, the head of the players union, and the commissioner publicly expressed concern about his joining the league based on racist comments he had made in the past. Today, Limbaugh addressed the controversy on his show, saying it was all a ploy by Democrats to villainize him and calling the NFL “outpost of racism and liberalism”:

LIMBAUGH: They [Democrats] have to have a villain to advance everything, because they cannot sell their ideas. They had to demonize me with false, fake, made up quotes. To protect their precious little — National Football League as an outpost of racism and liberalism, which is what it is.

Listen here:

But as Media Matters points out, NFL teams, owners, players and personnel gave overwhelmingly to GOP since 1989. Limbaugh fans are rallying behind him, with some proposing a boycott of the NFL. A RedState blogger strongly supported the hate radio host in a post titled “Tonight… We Are All Rush Limbaugh.”

M.C.L. Comment:I can see it right now a group of old, white, fat and racist standing outside Ford Field with their equally as dumb wives or girlfriends holding up poorly spelled signs defending Rush right to say racist things about NFL players. For Rush and that tool bag over at RedState to complained about freedom of speech is another textbook example of right wing hypocrisy.

During the great right wing exploitation of 9.11 Rush and his clones made it their mission to silence President George W. Bush critics from the Dixie Chicks to Danny Glover these people had their careers threaten or they lost their jobs and you remember what was the right response when people mention the first amendment regarding Bush's critics "well comments have consequences" So Rush since you pander to racist therefore you shouldn't be shock when you can't be a owner in a league where 75% of its players are black.

It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).

Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. Don’t we all feel better?

The crazy thing about this is that the NFL for the most part are run by guys like Rush. The difference between them and Rush is Rush has a national platform and he has a history of saying negative things about black players and black people in general.

These owners care about two things how many people are filling their stadiums and how much money is coming in. Having Rush as part of the NFL would be bad for business.
I still hope the ditto-zombies follow through with their protest threat.

Rush is right, it is about advancing the cause of socialism. The only problem is, is that RUsh has never dared to address how deep and hidious the root of it lays; for to do so, would mean certain death, to Rush's businesses, and even to Rush himself.

The American people, and the people of the earth, are being brainwashed through "TRAMA-BASED MIND CONTROL," to think that the socio-economic system of fiat currency and usury, coupled with the elitist-banker-lawyer model of "the new aristocracy," should never be questioned,!" The people do not realize the hidden dangers of following the New World Agenda. It gose far past our being told what to think, and who is "eligible" to own, "WHAT?"

Mankind is being harvested as mice, to the point that "they" want to tell the human race, not only who may work, and in what field, to include how much they will earn; but what drugs to take into our bodies; drugs, by the way that the United States Government' CAFR Funds are invested in. [Go online and do a search for CAFRS - Comprehensive Annual FInancial Reports. Learn how your government, your country, and your life are being swindled right out from under you!]
THIS by the way is the "MONOLITHIC CONSPIRACY," John Fitzgerald Kennedy spoke of in in his Secret Society speech in 1961, which culminated in them blowing his brains out!

Saying Rush is right is like saying lighting a match in a fireworks factory is a good idea.. This whole mantra of we don't like Obama because he's promoting socialism is pure bullshit, I bet you if you ask an average tea bagger what's the difference between socialism and communism they just repeat the garbage they get from right wing hate radio or they will give you a look like if you asked them how to build a rocket ship from scratch.

The problem is the right wing and their brain-dead followers didn't give a fuck what was going on from 2001 to mid 2008 and now since the president is now a black guy with a funny name and he's the leader of the other party, these fiscal hawks want to squawk.

When people like me was talking about the elite and the growing gap between what the top 2% were making and what everyone else was making those who now call themselves tea baggers or fake ass patriots were accusing us of trying to start a class war.

President Obama hasn't been president for a full year yet and these scumbags are whining, where was this concern for debt and government spending when the Republicans ran everything?
