Not Really Nut-Picking. Really.

While listening to the Choking Dawgs choke (loudly) in Philadelphia (IS THERE NO JUSTICE?) we were inspired (by sheer boredom) to read an Opinionator round-up of the No Fucking Limbaugh in the NFL blather-fest.

Few of the quotes from the reactionary bloviators made reference to the racial statements that were the cause of the controversy, other than to worry that racism & conservatism might, somehow, be thought of as one & the same, therefore conservos must fight this w/ every ounce of their beings. (For the masochistic: Total Buffoon [& not in a good way] John Ziegler, Big Hose, & Child of the Corner Andy McCarthy.) No, 'twas merely Limbaugh's "politics" that doomed his bid.

But the real fun was the comments. (So dulled out we read almost all of them.) Virtually all the Limbaugh supporters display low-info or "special information from Fox" delusions.

This one caught our eye & ear, partly because the good doctor (Note: The typist is a doctor. It says so. Twice. We sincerely hope he is not responsible for human or animal life in a medical or any other capacity.) can at least use spell check, if not punctuate perfectly.

It appars that Paul Pelosi will be investing in a new football league, the UFL. One wonders however if the husband of the Speaker of the House of Representatives would support Rush Limbaugh who has the same right to invest in the NFL.

False comments, innuendo, all hiding behind a phony charge of racism is apparently the political capital of the day. This nation has long been a republic based upon constitutional law and human rights. “Life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are inherent rights due Rush Limbaugh, sadly they have been abrogated, trampled and dismissed by those miscreants who do not believe in free speech for conservatives and small business owners.

One does not have to accept the speech of Art Rooney or for that matter any past or present owner in the NFL to acknowledge their administrative expertise and love of the game. As the old Sunday School chorus still proclaims, “Red and yellow black and white they are precious in his site [sic].” Rush Limbaugh is as precious in his existence as is Joe Biden.

True, free speech allows critics to criticize and enunciate lies that have no basis in fact, yet NFL officials. media outlets, individuals, who succumb to this type of pressure, and adopt double standards, are at best midgets of principle, or at worst dishonest and unfit for executive level administrative leadership. Rush Limbaugh, has the right to speak, be evaluated by sports fans in terms of honesty and integrity. He also has the right to be protected from scurrilous lies and attacks especially from dishonest people who merely exercise ulterior motives at the bidding of national power elites.

The NFL should have spoken to power, instead they caved and crumbled to it in quick order. This miscarriage of basic justice is a serious matter for an administration and professional league that touts diversity. Apparently their definition of diversity does include conservatives, Missourians, talk show hosts, in fact all types of principled Americans. Mr. Limbaugh, is owed and should be the beneficiary of an apology from the, NFL, the perpetrators of this personal scandalous attack, social misfits and radical bigots who spread lies and vermin all over the nation in an attempt to eliminate his rights. We are Americans, this is America, and a major abridgement of free enterprise and free speech has occurred, a dangerous combination.

We won't go line by line, (Just enjoy the lunacy for iutself.) but we'll point out that anyone (Paul Pelosi or otherwise) who is stupid enough & has enough money can attempt to start another American football league. Which has nothing to do w/ Limbaugh's desire to join a group of investors hoping to buy an NFL team.

Many others felt that free speech & the free market had somehow been violated. Did Congress force a law down our throats forbidding Limbaugh from joining a potential ownership group? No. There was also the belief that the NFL, rather than the investment group, turned Limbaugh down. How the hell are these "special information from Glenn Beck" voters be reasoned w/?

At least this guy doesn't claim to be a doctor.

In the Fifties we had a political doctrine under which people in the entertainment business were denied economic opportunities because of their political opinions: McCarthyism.

That's right, Mr. Excellence in Broadcasting has lost his $38 million a year job, & will never be allowed to broadcast or to invest in anything ever again. Exactly like the blacklist.
