Well I wouldn't call Peter King an authority either but whatever. Whether or not Rush ever becomes an owner will not have any effect on our lives. Subject dropped as far as I'm concerned. Nice talking to you without the name calling my man.
No one said all reporters were hyping McNabb. In fact, in reading the story you linked, your guy pretty much says McNabb was sucking in the beginning of '03 which -- if anyone was rating him as among the best in the league at that time (hyping him) -- would also bolster Limbaugh's argument that it was because, as my reporter said, they wanted a black guy to succeed at quarterback.
Your guy also said this...
Which confirms what Limbaugh claimed. He wasn't talking about McNabb but about the media. If your writer wasn't among the ones that were hyping McNabb, fine...at least he recognizes -- what everyone seems to be missing now, five years later -- the comment was about the writers, not McNabb.Limbaugh was not making a racist statement about black quarterbacks. He was making a racist statement about me. Actually, about me and my colleagues. But I feel like he was talking to me.

My concern is more about how the media is manipulated by people such as Sharpton, into unnecessarily and maliciously defaming people.
But, cheers.
why don't you call it your "rush moment"?obvious to everyone, a black man was soon to be elected president.
....and yoni couldn't wait to share his story of a personal encounter with a black man.
So no sympathy for Rush? Forget his politics, it sucks that he seems to have lost this bid based on falsely attributed racist quotes.
Of course, CNN didn't care about the quotes' authenticity. They might have been busy fact-checking SNL skits.
crips and bloods lol
Yes, I know that I for one can get behind some good ol' racism, just as long as it's directed towards those black chappy sportswriters, rather than a quarterback. Like you and Rush, my racism draws a line when it comes to sports figures. I'm such a good person.
lol rush, lol idiots who defend rush, lol, lol, lol. This is what happens when your stated goal in life is to make money from hatred- most people ing loathe you. lol
Scientists should just figure out what gene causes racism and abort all fetuses that carry that gene. The state-controlled health care system can start by screening all GOP members, tea-partiers, and independents.
Same here. It really pisses me off that they give these immoral people a national voice.My concern is more about how the media is manipulated by people such as Sharpton, into unnecessarily and maliciously defaming people.
But, cheers.
Why not liberals? Would they all get aborted?
Actually, most of us would show pretty poorly on the race IAT.
As for Rush and his ilk, plenty of Genuine, Bona Fide, Good ol' Boy, Pure Bred American Racists in that group.
Big difference.
here here and doktor Bali can be in charge of the camp...er hospitals.
Well as the pig said some racisim is more equal than others....or something to that effect.
now you guys are for abortion.
good to know.
Hey if you think the NFL is acting like suckers here, just don't patronize them watch and attend college ball, even high school ball for fun, it's their gig.
I guess they are going to fire Keith Olbermann now since he is controversial and they don't want that in the NFL. Just dog killer, wife beaters, convicts and lunatics(A.Davis and J.Jones)
you guys should boycott the nfl.
let us know if they notice.
I hope Rush sues all the people who falsely quoted him.
crips and bloods
yes, rush is going to sue the american public and the internet
(but not himself for being guilty of the same crime of using misinformation in order to perpetuate generalizations or myths)
Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.
Mohandas Gandhi
he should sue for his right to be racist.
how is crips and bloods racist?

MRC President Reports Back on CNN, MSNBC Character Assassination of Rush Limbaugh, Issues Ultimatum to All Media Spreading Racist Lies
Alexandria, VA – Yesterday, MRC President Brent Bozell promised to report back publicly with how CNN and MSNBC responded to his challenge to put up – or shut up – proof that Rush Limbaugh actually stated the racist quote that both cable networks attributed to him as fact, or to immediately retract and apologize for their participation in spreading an outlandish lie. Talk show giant Limbaugh denied having ever stated, “Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.” Further, it has been established that this was a fabrication pushed through the Internet, intentionally designed to destroy Mr. Limbaugh’s reputation at a time he is attempting to purchase a professional football team.
In addition to this public call to action, Mr. Bozell overnighted letters to CNN President Jonathan Klein and MSNBC President Phil Griffin to ensure both took the matter seriously.
Both CNN and MSNBC failed to respond appropriately.
CNN’s Rick Sanchez, who was responsible for pushing this lie initially, had the gall to repeat the lie but this time also attaching Mr. Limbaugh’s denial, suggesting the truth was unclear when the truth is absolutely crystal clear. CNN neither apologized nor retracted.
MSNBC was even worse. This disgraceful network continued to repeat this smear on MSNBC Live.
Neither showed any initiative to source the fabricated quote, nor did either network retract or apologize for spreading the false propaganda on their broadcast airwaves. Instead, both CNN and MSNBC repeated the fic ious statement that was created to smear Rush Limbaugh and his character.
MRC President Brent Bozell issued the following statement:
“The CNN and MSNBC ‘news’ networks are guilty of promoting outright falsehoods and purposely using fabricated disinformation created by left-wing radicals to destroy a conservative leader. There is no grey area here. CNN and MSNBC were given ample opportunity to come clean, but both are continuing to masquerade malicious lies as credible.
“Perhaps if they spent less time fact-checking SNL comedy skits and more time fact-checking what they laughably call ‘news,’ they would have a chance to salvage their tattered reputations, sinking even faster with this intentional character assassination.
“We are tabulating exactly who has engaged in this smear campaign and will reveal a complete list of willful participants at a press conference next week. Everyone now knows that these statements attributed to Rush are lies. Those who have repeated them have 24 hours to retract and publicly apologize – or you will be named among those intentionally engaged in character assassination.
“I understand Mr. Limbaugh has threatened legal action. I hope you all have good lawyers.”
