Famous Sports Quotes By Rush FAT Limbaugh:

Limbaugh on former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb: “I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.”

Rush Limbaugh’s eulogy of Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner, who died this week: “That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires.”

We are gathered here today in sympathy with our brother, Rush Limbaugh.

As you are no doubt aware, these have been difficult days for Brother Limbaugh. There he was, happily revealing that he was part of an investment group that had submitted a bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League. Next thing you know, Al Sharpton is on him like ugly on King Kong, urging the NFL to reject him. And NFL players, not previously known for commenting on, or even visibly caring, who owns a team so long as the paychecks clear, are saying they would not play for him. And owners, who must vote to approve him, are telling reporters they will not.

It all came to a head last week as the talk show host was dumped by his fellow investors. Whose heart is so stony that it does not weep for Brother Limbaugh to find himself humiliated so? Put yourself in his shoes.

You’re a college dropout and OxyContin junkie who somehow managed to climb to the top of the media pile. You’ve made yourself one of the most popular and influential voices in the national dialogue and that, in turn, has made you rich beyond dreams of avarice. How satisfying must that be.

And you’re an avid sports fan, too, so naturally you jump at a chance to fulfill every sports fan’s dream — to buy yourself a team. You picture yourself watching games from the luxury box with a babe or two on your arm, evaluating talent and signing off on trades, partying in the locker room, champagne stinging your eyes, at the end of a championship game.

How cruel to have it all snatched away from you. And why? Because a bunch of black African-American Negroes start making noise? What reason do they have to be upset with you?

•   Just because you once called Philadelphia Eagles star Donovan McNabb overrated, the victim of media too eager to see a black quarterback do well?

•   Just because you referred to Barack Obama and Halle Berry as “Halfrican Americans?”

•   Just because you told your listeners Obama’s economic program is “reparations?”

•   Just because you called Obama “the little black man-child?”

•   Just because you said the NFL “all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips?”

•   Just because you once told a black caller to “take that bone out of your nose and call me back?”

For those “trifles” the sensitive pansies of the NFL don’t want to have anything to do with you? Just because 65 percent of their players are black African-American Negroes? Oh, the shame! Oh, the humanity!

So yes, the rest of us should rally around Brother Limbaugh. If they can deny one rich, racially inflammatory media lout his constitutional right to own a football team, what’s to stop them from denying another? This is a clear and present danger. Pat Buchanan, Glenn Beck … none of us is safe while this injustice stands.

And besides, what lesson does this teach our children?

That there are things (like respectability) even money can’t buy? That there are doors (like the one to the owner’s box) even fame can’t open? That you only have one reputation and it’s not stain-resistant, so you’d better not soil it? That karma is a female dog?

Do you really want your children to learn that sort of socialist claptrap? I don’t. How dare the high and mighty NFL act like the things we say carry consequences?

So let’s stand up for Brother Limbaugh. Indeed, here and now, I am starting a legal fund to help him carry on the fight. I will make the first contribution — a shiny new Franklin Roosevelt dime. What about you? Wouldn’t you like to see poor Rush get what he deserves?

Please give generously.

Rush Limbaugh, whose occupational practice is making white people comfortable within their own prejudices, has been sacked from the NFL permanently.

The bigoted SHIT-THROWER will not part-own the St. Louis Rams or any other NFL team for that matter, unless America becomes more racist in the near future or the 75 percent blackness in the player roster dwindles to something like forty percent, whichever comes first.

The owners know damn well who oils their money churning machines — strong, young black men — just like it was in the southern plantations, during slavery. The difference from then, is that — in these times, black men get paid for their sweat, even while the white man still gets a much larger share of the whole pie.

That said, things are a lot fairer for the black man — on the football field. So, when Rush FAT Limbaugh signed on to become an owner with a PLANTATION MENTALITY, he was kicked to the curb unceremoniously.

No rich FAT owner was going to let Rush SHIT in the honey-pot!

Said Roger Goodell, the white NFL Commissioner: “The comments that Rush made about Donovan [McNabb] I disagree with very strongly. [They were] polarizing comments that we don’t think reflect accurately on the NFL or our players and I obviously do not believe that those comments are positive and are divisive. I disagree with those comments very strongly and I’ve told the players that.” “We’re all held to a high standard here and divisive comments are not what the NFL’s all about,” added Goodell. “I would not want to see those kind of comments from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL, no. Absolutely not.”

Yes, 1 and half sack(s) for the commissioner.

Robertson says canola oil is made from “rapeseed, it just sounds horrible to think you’re getting raped when you’re drinking” it

Bob Johnson – ‘An American success story & an African-American tragedy’

By: Leonard Pitts Jr.

Columnist – Leonard Pitts Jr.

I bet Hillary Clinton wishes Bob Johnson would stop trying to help her. Johnson is the billionaire founder of Black Entertainment Television and the Clinton supporter who embarrassed his candidate and himself during the South Carolina primary by clumsily attempting to inject Barack Obama’s self-confessed youthful drug use into the campaign and then clumsily denying he was doing it.

To judge from his latest comments, he still hasn’t learned to engage brain before operating mouth.

In March, Johnson told The Charlotte Observer that he agreed with comments that forced Geraldine Ferraro to resign from Clinton’s campaign last month. Ferraro essentially called Obama the affirmative-action candidate, saying that if he were not black, he would not be the political phenom he is.

Said Johnson, “What I believe Geraldine Ferraro meant is that if you take a freshman senator from Illinois called ‘Jerry Smith’ and he says, ‘I’m going to run for president,’ would he start off with 90 percent of the black vote? And the answer is, probably not.”
Naturally, Johnson is wrong.

If being black conferred, as he and Ferraro seem to think, some mysterious advantage in politics (unlike in virtually every other field of endeavor), Jesse Jackson would have been president years ago. He is, after all, black. As are Al Sharpton and Alan Keyes. All tried, yet none came close to winning the presidency.

Johnson is also wrong about black support for Obama.

As recently as December, Gallup pollsters found Clinton had significantly “higher” favorable ratings among black voters than Obama.

Of course, that was before Obama’s resounding victory in Iowa, Clinton’s gaffe about Martin Luther King’s role in the civil rights movement, and clanking attempts by Clinton surrogates like Johnson to kneecap Obama.

For the record, Barack Obama became a political phenomenon for the exact reason a political novice named Ross Perot did: he moved voters.

But Perot is white. I’d love to see how Johnson fits that into his crackpot thesis.

It’s not just that he’s wrong on the facts that’s galling but, rather, that he is wrong on something deeper.

If you are black, after all, you are used to this, used to having your achievements — and failures — lazily conflated with your skin color. It’s an easy hook for those who lack the imagination or intelligence to dig deeper. Like Rush Limbaugh, who said in 2003 that Donovan McNabb only became a football star because he’s black.

You’d expect Johnson, as a black man, to know better. Especially since he’s surely seen his success diminished this same way. You think no one ever said Johnson (who, according to a Washington Post report, went to Princeton on an affirmative-action program) only became a billionaire because he’s black?

But then, Johnson has never identified overmuch with black folks’ struggles. He once told C-SPAN he acknowledged no responsibility to be a role model for his community.

“What are my responsibilities to black people at large?” he asked. “If I help my family get over and deal with the problems they might confront, then I have achieved that one goal that is my responsibility to society at large.”

And the rest of y’all Negroes is on your own.

Johnson proved his regard for his people by exploiting them on his network, poisoning our kids with a video parade of gyrating backsides, gold grills and pimp values, a caricature of black life so unremittingly racist as to make the Ku Klux Klan redundant.

I pity him. He is an American success story and an African-American tragedy: a selfish, sterling example of the self-loathing so common among marginalized peoples.

On the plus side, I don’t think he has to worry about being called a role model.
