Justin,
This Racist should be fired from Clear Channel.
What is your specific basis for calling Rush a "Racist"?
Very simple, Justin. If Rush had a problem with Donovan as a Quarterback, then all he had to do was address that issue. Absolutely no need to bring Race/Skin Color into the picture. There are plenty of 'White' QB's worse than McNabb. And there are plenty of other Black Quarterbacks starting for other NFL teams. Some or better, some are worse. On the other hand if Rush has a problem with what he perceives as a 'Liberal Sports Media' (I've never seen, heard or read any sportswriters or sportscasters interject 'politics', i.e., liberal press wanting a Black Quarterback to do good, into their viewpoints, then there was no reason to bring Donovan McNabb into it. He should have just made a statement without bringing a specific player into the picture. This is not the first time for Rush but, since this is here and now, this particular incident is the one that is at issue. I take it from the tone of your statements and questions that you don't think Rush was racist in his comments. That's fine. We just have different viewpoints. Having played several different sports with many 'Blacks' I find it offensive for some Rich Fat Cat (Rush) who has never played one down of NFL football, to spew forth in the way he did. Like I said above, he could have dealt with his Black player-Liberal press 'Issue' with Donovan in a very different way. Simply put, Rush, crossed the line.
They should fire his fat ass
What specifically motivated this ugly statement?
Well I think Rush is a fat ass! I should have used fat cat, like I did in the previous paragraph. I for one don't like anything or anyone that won't allow the other side of an issue to be said or viewed. And in Rush's case, if someone has a different opinion than Rush has and they get through on his radio show, well forget it. Rush will shout them down, call them ignorant idiots, talk all over them, and cut their connection within seconds. I haven't listened to Rush in years. He is just too far right for me and a BIG Mouth as well. I just prefer things a little more middle of the road. But, if I were a fan of his, I would still be unhappy that he had not used better judgement. As to Clear Channel firing him, that is their decision that they have to ponder. I was only stating my opinion, since this is America and we are allowed to do that. But, I am not going to bring Race into my comments, at least not in a negative sense like Rush did. I just think Clear Channel, by staying quiet is doing the wrong thing. Maybe they have issued some kind of statement that I haven't seen yet. They don't have to do this, of course, but, since Rush is their #1 draw, I would think it is in their best interest to say something. America just doesn't need this right now. I would hope that we in America are far beyond this kind of attitude. Racism or anything that smells like it, has no place today.
Another thing, Justin, why would you call my statement "ugly"? I sure don't think Rush is very pretty.
