It’s funny how racism only fires in one direction. I compare racism to tracers…they work both ways.

Obama and his moonbats will NEVER GET IT!
My new thing is… anyone who calls someone a racist is labelling him/herself as one.

They , Jackson and the other race baiters, I am sure they will go after Sarah next if she runs just as they did with Rush. Anyone who challenges Obama or his polices will be targeted as racist.

Well, if they do go after Sarah, they deserve what they get. Now that she’s out from under the stifling thumb of the McCain (un)campaign, she can talk for herself. She’s already got heads exploding with her book and her Face Book editorials. They’ve pretty much said what they’re going to say about her. Just don’t get the Moms upset… they can be a vindictive bunch. Besides… the term racist is so yesterday. It’s been used so often for no reason at all, that it has almost ceased to have any real meaning. Thanks, libs… we needed that!
Would like to highlight a quote from the WSJ linked op-ed…. the “politics” injecting itself into the NFL entertainment sector via the NFL union, and their specific selection of DeMauarice Smith. Smith is a Washington insider and Obama henchman.
After Obama’s ascent to the WH throne, the NFL tossed experienced sports officials aside to hire Smith as their union rep… knowing full well his threads to the highest office in the land.
From the WSJ article, but not yet cited on this thread:
We suspect Mr. Limbaugh during his broadcast yesterday put his finger exactly on what is going on here. He said that NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith was using Mr. Limbaugh’s controversial status as leverage against the league owners in the union’s difficult negotiations over a collective-bargaining agreement.
Earlier this year, the NFLPA’s Mr. Smith and several player reps visited our offices and made clear their determination to win the negotiation with the league’s owners. Fair enough. The group made a strong and businesslike case for their position. Mr. Smith was wrong, though, to send an email to the league’s players earlier in the week, urging them to speak out on the Limbaugh bid, arguing that football “rejects discrimination and hatred.”
After this, opposition to Mr. Limbaugh emerged from Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay and, most disappointing of all, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Mr. Goodell implied in a statement that Mr. Limbaugh’s off-the-cuff comment in 2003 about quarterback Donovan McNabb (that the media wanted a black quarterback to do well) violated the league’s “high standard.”
What the WSJ failed to include was that Smith also solicited Congress as well on this same issue. Wonder where he felt he had that power and inroads? uh huh…. Obama transition team, and former Eric Holder employee. Gee…. and the connnection is?
If anyone in this nation genuinely supports using political beliefs as the criteria before you can be involved in private venture involvement, then they deserve to have a life under Chavez or Castro. Just plan to do it elsewhere, please. Not within my country’s borders.
According to Sharpton and Jackson. “Racism” is too often their sledgehammer. And it is being used to try to keep citizens who don’t share the left’s agenda from participating in the full array of opportunities this nation otherwise affords each of us. It was on display many years ago in an effort to smear Clarence Thomas with racist stereotypes and keep him off the Supreme Court. More recently, it was employed against patriotic citizens who attended town-hall meetings and tea-party protests. These intimidation tactics are working and spreading, and they are a cancer on our society.

I just read an article the other day, that in an interview (2005 or 6?), McNabb said pretty much the same thing, that there was a lot of pressure on him to “do well” in a sport that has a high percentage of blacks playing. I’ll try to find the link if I can.
McNabbs quote: In 2007, four years after Rush made his comments, McNabb told HBO’s Bryant Gumbel that, as a black quarterback, he felt pressured to live up to unreasonable expectations. “There’s not that many African-American quarterbacks, so we have to do a little bit extra,” McNabb said. “Because the percentage of us playing this position, which people didn’t want us to play . . . is low, so we do a little extra.”

Sensing that the glow of media lights might get away from him, Sharpton is now out there denying he had anything to do with Rush Limbaugh’s rejection because….it was Chechett’s decision to oust Rush from the bidding team.
That isn’t how I’m remembering it, I’m remembering frick and frack out there screaming racist, contacting players and other NFL people, then Chechett made the decision. Sharpton’s probably right but, not for the reason he’s citing. People more powerful than Sharpton and Jackson were the ones that killed it, they aren’t out there begging for face time, for obvious reasons they’re keeping quiet.
Sharpton’s not finished by the above denial, now, the reverend is threatening to sue Rush unless he apologizes for remarks in the WSJ article. More denials….. Sharpton denies inciting the Crown Heights riots and being responsible for the crazy guy that caused the fire and deaths from the Freddie’s Fashion Mart incident. He had no comment on Tawana Brawley.
Rush only said the little twit played a leading role, no accusation of criminal activity as Sharpton’s alleging. I doubt much will come of this, it will last as long as Sharpton can milk the media. If it goes anywhere, discovery could be interesting and perhaps that would finally do away with the reverend.

So “judgment day” to you, consists of racebaters and Obama-connected sycophants telling outright lies, (that have now all been weakly retracted) forcing a spineless investor to ask Rush not to invest?
If Rush killed 3 of his own dogs, would THAT qualify him to invest in the Rams?
Do you think this will actuallyhurt him? Bwahahahah!!!!
To keep this “A-ticket” ride going, please list any “mislabeling” Rush has applied to “others”.

American Indian groups have been lobbying the NFL for twenty years in an effort to get the Redskins owners to change the name of that team because it is offensive and racially insensitive to Native Americans. And in a non divisive way the NFL has told them basically to go take a long walk off a short pier, and as far as I know not one African American player has refused to play for a team that uses such a racially derogatory moniker.

I guess Big Sky country even tolerates bozos… sigh. Just ruins “that dream” of mine of cowpokes, down to earth living, and wild west challenges.
Montana, evidently you can’t think beyond nouns, verbs and very small sentences. Otherwise you’d just go to the EIB site, which has his *entire transcripts* for full perusal available.
But then, exploring actual context and actual lead in dialogue would be so inconvenient to your “truth”, and command far too much of your mental ability, yes?
I swear… to hear people like Montana makes me think anti-Constitutional thoughts. Like maybe an intelligence test required for for voting, on top of proof of citizenship???
Great post! I really like your blog – keep up the excellent work!!
