MSNBC guest: For Limbaugh, owning an NFL team would be like owning a plantation
posted at 8:51 pm on October 13, 2009 by Allahpundit
Another iteration of the talking point du jour. Narratives, like flowers, don’t spring up overnight; they have to be carefully nurtured until they bloom. Consider this another little sprinkle from the water can. And please do note that the James Earl Ray nonsense she attributes to Limbaugh — which also happens to be a favorite of my moral superiors in the blogosphere — now makes two specious unsourced quotes he’s been tagged with on MSNBC in hopes of blocking his NFL bid. I say again: He should sue. They’re simply not going to fact-check this stuff unless and until he threatens them into doing so.
Exit question: Which rabid Republican said this of Rush’s bid for the Rams? “There’re now gonna be character tests for sports owners? There’ll only be three of them left. Unless they beat the Vikings Sunday as of next Thursday it will have been a full year since the Rams won a game. My God, if Limbaugh wants to buy them far be it for me to tell him he’s flushing his money down a rat hole.” Hmmmm. Click the image to watch.

Wow, what a racist bitch. Thinking white male owners of professional sports see their franchises as plantations. Screw her and her union, I hope the players she represents all get pay cuts and injuries.

beachgirlusa on October 13, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Then maybe the Rams will grow cotton in the off-season to make some money.
varnson on October 13, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Her comments aren’t just about Rush. That’s how these Reds see all white business owners.
flyfisher on October 13, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Let’s look on the bright side…in the post America America, some states will unite together governed by the original US Constitution. Their football teams will be free market, survival of the fittest. Every year we will meet the champion football team from the other states (although I don’t know how they will be determined, since they don’t keep score) and kick their “collective” butts. They’ll be okay ’cause they are all happy government football workers with none of the pressures of having too much money they have to shower it around the clubs. Feel free to expand on this very preliminary idea……
califdreamnred on October 13, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Rush is yanking their chain as hard as he can.
His ratings have to be through the roof. I agree, most stuff ignore, but you have to confront ‘racism’ charges like these. He has all these networks doing him a huge favor……..hours of free advertising.
Starlink on October 13, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Owning an NFL team would be like owning a plantation? Really? How so?
Serious question. Are they postulating that all NFL owners are plantation owners? Or just Rush? And are they really saying that some of the fossilized owners have never uttered a racially charged comment? Rush never did but I’ll bet at least one of the fossils has. Are they really and truly prepared to be sued by Limbaigh or to suffer a loss of revenue through boycotts? i’m ready baby.
ORconservative on October 13, 2009 at 9:53 PM
I would like to see Rush sue the pants off these people. Would like to see him get the Rams, too and go hmmm hmmm hmmm to Chris Burman the dud from ESPN.
wepeople on October 13, 2009 at 9:56 PM
The National FELONS League has a problem with Limbaugh’s character?!?!?!?! That’s rich!!!!
40 years ago, when I watched the Los Angeles Rams religiously, the NFL had heroes and players of high moral standards. Today, not so much. Haven’t been a fan for at least 20 years. F–k the NFL.
Andy in Agoura Hills on October 13, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I could not bring myself to watch the video but I am sure she must have also added “and Rush is fat and a drug addict” like all the rest of the libtards…. (or perhaps I am just “imaginarily” hearing it like that “boy” comment)

Don’t think they will apologize Rush,go ahead and make them wish they had!!:)
ohiobabe on October 13, 2009 at 10:06 PM
You’re exactly right. The real racists are the ones who benefit most from this gutting of the word. And why don’t these libs care? Because they are the real racists.

Anyone notice that supposedly unbiased news organizations are using old pics of Limbaugh when he was fat and in fact I think they have touched them up to make him look bad.
CWforFreedom on October 13, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Rush has threatened to sue over some crap thrown his way
CWforFreedom on October 13, 2009 at 10:11 PM
If she says this about him being a plantation owner can we really say what we think she is?
I’d tell you but I’d have to say an old south word that only blacks are allowed to say about other blacks.
Let’s just say she’s a racist ________(insert appropriate name or slang term here)______.
PappyD61 on October 13, 2009 at 10:12 PM
These stupid academics don’t they realize that the more they falsely cry racist the less offensive the charge becomes. Liberals just don’t learn very fast no matter how much schooling they like to brag about.

USE RACE to divide america
USE RACE to win at all costs
USE RACE to gain special privledges
USE RACE to build up their so called audiences.
USE RACE in attack ads
USE RACE in EVERY CONECIEVABLE WAY
All to STOP any NON black personel from invading their turf..
They are the RACISTS..
PERIOD
veteranoutrage on October 13, 2009 at 10:19 PM
I am really sick of this race card ****. The NAACP, the CBC, the black media, the black activists like Jackson and Sharpton just take it too far to line their pockets with green. The word racist has lost it’s meaning to me and I just don’t give a damn what the black community thinks anymore about anything because if I were to ever question it I would be labeled a racist. Screw that.
Daemonocracy on October 13, 2009 at 10:25 PM
The only plantation left in America is the DNC. They house and feed their slaves keeping them poor and miserable but alive, and the slaves deliver a harvest of votes.

CEA_Agent on October 13, 2009 at 10:30 PM
He should sue… for the entire net worth of MSNBC.
Heck! He should drop the football franchise altogether and make a hostile bid for MSNBC. He has the money to own it, after all! :-)

If anyone cares by this point, somebody has gone to considerable effort to debunk the racist quotes attributed to Limbaugh. Follow the link and decide for yourself:
Quotation Attributed to Rush Limbaugh is a Damnable Lie
DubiousD on October 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Rush has the POTENTIAL to be a racist slave owner in the NFL, just like Obambi has the POTENTIAL to bring peace to the world.
Projection. It’s all projection.
HAnthonyWayne on October 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Talk about plantations…
What we are sadly watching is the reversal of the gains made by Black people in this nation up through the ’50s. Since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society putsch, there has been created a permanent underclass, concentrated almost entirely in the Democrat-riddled, majority Black Eastern cities. Ugly, but reality has a well-known Conservative bias, after all.
“African-American” victim-journalists like this chick have been nurtured in the same hot-house of low expectations and assumed entitlement that produced the first (partially) Black US President, and can see no further than what they were taught in grade school – “Ain’t my fault.”
Their great-grandparents must be spinning in their graves…
What I’ve seen in my lifetime leaves me weeping for my Black brothers and sisters, and for my country. I’ve known, loved, worked with, worked for Black folks since I was a kid, and I’m well aware of the justifiable pride taken in a legacy which saw Africans develop from primitive people, in many cases, into modern day American citizens in a mere handful of generations. The destruction wrought by the Left in 40 years on a proud race is perhaps the most despicable act of a despicable philosophy.
Sad. Tragic.

Hmmm….Is Janine Garafalo buying any teams soon?
Sanjoboy on October 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Stuck on stupid.
If the player’s union and other assorted morons and racists win on this issue, the NFL can forget ever seeing a dime from me again. I hope that catches on across the country.
The league and the other owners need to take a stand on this, as they are now number 1 for sports. They can easily lose that, especially with some of their bonehead moves, like putting games on cable only, the DirectTV deal that instantly excludes 80% of potential viewers and forcing me to watch crappy out of market games.
reaganaut on October 13, 2009 at 10:35 PM
America with leftists in charge = Witch Hunt Nation.
This current anti-Limbaugh hyena-shriek / self-righteous-leftist-circle-jerk is a prime example.
The only problem with Limbaugh co-owning a team (not even being a majority owner either I might add) is the marked increase fantasy-based anxiety and self-aggrandizing faux rage in leftists’ minds.
Last I checked, multi-millionaires still get to invest their money in legal (and legally audited) ways in this country.
Edouard on October 13, 2009 at 10:36 PM
” Limbaugh, owning an NFL team would be like owning a plantation”
Only this time the slaves are multi-millionires.
What a bimbo!
RobCon on October 13, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Blacks who attack Limbaugh, or Republicans in general, are doing so only out of obedience for their Democrat masters. Blacks have been the sole property of Democrats since the start of the country and they have maintained the plantation mentality which have kept them in bondage physically in the past and mentally in the present.
It is not a surprise that the first black president did not have a family history of slavery. Initiative is required to just run for the position and though blacks are welcomed to work in the Democrat plantation, they have been discouraged to run it. Democrats have forbidden blacks to think for themselves and anyone who do (Rice, Thomas, Steele, etc.) are immediately attacked.
Blacks fear Republicans because they fear the freedom they represent and the responsibilities that comes with it.
AaronGuzman on October 13, 2009 at 10:38 PM
How come when Rush makes a comment about football being like watching the Bloods and Crips fight without weapons — which without question was a tasteless remark I’ll admit — it’s racist but when a lefty likens team owners to plantation owners — not a peep? I’m willing to call it out when Rush crosses the line. I’m willing to concede when Beck is acting a little too crazy. How come these people parade their folks around without even batting an eyelash at some of the positively outrageous things they say?
The Left is utterly lacking in any kind of self-awareness whatsoever.
It’s terribly amusing to hear some — like that joker who owns the Colts and is so scandalized at the thought of Rush being in his club (how much should we bet he contributed to the hopenchange campaign?) — talking about how the league needs to avoid controversy and bad publicity. Is this the same NFL that was OK with letting a convicted felon back into the league? The same NFL that then thought it would be a good idea to print up dog shirts with Vick’s number on them?
Kabuki theater at its finest.
NoLeftTurn on October 13, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Ya, the real slaves are the fans. Look at what people shell out for seats (for a good team). The overpriced food and beverages, the insanely overprices NFL gear. Look at the guys who spend $250 on a replica jersey, then the player is traded or the team changes uniforms.
I’m waiting for the day when each team goes into the season with 16 different uniforms, that way “fans” can buy 16 different replica shirts.
reaganaut on October 13, 2009 at 10:43 PM
He has done just that.
Buy Danish on October 13, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Nice. Now you’ve given them another stupid idea.
HAnthonyWayne on October 13, 2009 at 10:45 PM
Leftists know squat about professional sports-to them, it is “silly games”.
Of course, they will jump on board when it is convenient. Jeanne-Claude Kerri made a memorable fluff pitch at Fenway before “Reporting For Duty” in 2004 and they swooned.
BTW, doesn’t a rapper own a piece of the New Jersey Nets?
Del Dolemonte on October 13, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Lawyer up Rush!
RobCon on October 13, 2009 at 10:51 PM
According to Rush this “reporter” got her info from Winki quotes and she repeats it. Are all these MSM reporters idiots or what?
RobCon on October 13, 2009 at 10:54 PM
The part owner of the Celtics is running for Kennedy’s seat.
I’m sure there are more out there, I never really pay attention. I know the owners of the Red Sox are barking moonbats (yet own a NASCAR racing team).
For some reason, the filthy rich in this country have turned left in record numbers. I can’t quite figure it out. Affluenza? Inherited money, so they don’t know what it’s like to earn it? They can buy more lib politicians in the big cities? Probably all of the above.

If that’s the case, maybe the teams should practice some DIVERSITY? More whites, Asians, & Hispanics. How about it? Will some of you black players give up your positions in the name of DIVERSITY?
hopefloats on October 13, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Everyone is now dumber for having listened to that tripe.
What if Limbaugh wanted to buy a Taco Bell franchise in San Diego? Does that mean he wants to own some Mexicans? Where The-F does this imbecile teach?
Claypigeon on October 13, 2009 at 11:07 PM
It’s a shame that so many blacks grow up knowing little truth about their own African heritage, that their ancestors were sold as slaves by black African slave traders, that this trade had flourished in Africa for centuries before the white man got involved, that the African trade in humans catered for the full spectrum from indentured servitude to child sacrifice, that it was whites who eventually said “no more slavery” and made unprecedented efforts to stop it throughout the world.
Slavery is indefensible in any form but when you compare the fate of slaves in the Muslim world to slaves in America, it’s clear that African Americans fared a lot better. They weren’t, for example, castrated before their passage here, and were allowed to raise families. I say this not to excuse American slavery but because I am sick and goddamn tired of this constant demonization of whites, white history and white culture. How about they whale on Arabs for their part in slavery for a change? Or Africans?
The woman in that clip might as well be Michelle Obama. I’ve had enough of the whole rotten, stinking whitey-is-the-devil axis. The left really needs to clean house, far more than the right. I mean racist witches like that are actually allowed to spew their hatred on national TV, as if such views were respectable…how messed up is that?
Sharke on October 13, 2009 at 11:11 PM
Pulitzer prizes – another completely discredited joke award, along with the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sharke on October 13, 2009 at 11:16 PM
I think what made slavery wrong was that the workers were not paid. In the case of the NFL, the workers are paid. So really, it sounds like she doesn’t want black men working for a white man.
So much for a post-racial America. That kind of talk was never heard of 30 years ago. America has become more polarized as it has become more liberal, not less polarized with time.
keep the change on October 13, 2009 at 11:18 PM
There needs to be a stop put to this so they can’t keep doing it. Rush has the money to pursue it, but we have the power to do something too, and that is boycott. The people cannot stand by and let these haters get by with this. I am going to be so angry if they are able to get by with this. If they do, it will be just blood in the water for them.
silvernana on October 13, 2009 at 11:33 PM
Rush should sue them and force them all to publicly apologize.
I would love to see him take out full page ads listing all their names!!! (although I hate to suggest throwing money at the liberal newspapers)
Stephanie on October 13, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Sue them and when he gets a payday, donate the money to military families….kind of like the Reid letter…..
HornetSting on October 13, 2009 at 11:48 PM
Heh. Scheister says it’s a “publicity stunt” by the NFL that they have failed to announce that they will not allow a private investor to be involved in the purchase of a failing football franchise.
Between him and the racist black chick it’s about a draw.
Jaibones on October 13, 2009 at 11:58 PM
Whatever happened to LittleGreenFootballs btw? I just don’t get it. he was an anti-Globalwarmingist… and then… I am no creationist. I don’t like the school systems trying to replace it.

Rush should definitely sue their sorry asses. He NEVER said any of those terrible things that they are attributing to him. He should wait till they refuse to let him buy THEN he can show financial losses that they caused him. Rush, lawyer up and go all the way. It would be wonderful.
If he owned a team it would be a contender in a year or two. They ALREADY fear him. This would give him yet another platform to show the world what conservatism is really all about.
Mojave Mark on October 14, 2009 at 12:16 AM
I would take a Limbaugh rejection as a good sign that I really don’t need to ever have anything to do with the NFL again–not because I’m a bog Limbaugh fan, but because his rejection would be more about appeasement of the modern day Puritans, and that I cannot abide.
Horatius on October 14, 2009 at 12:19 AM

So, mark Cuban, owning an NBA team is like owning a plantation, good to know.

Everyone saw this coming when it was first announced Rush wanted to be an NFL owner, right? I hope so. In a league where 70+% of players are black? Raised on victim-hood? What other response could one expect from the players union and the race baiting MSM?
My first thought was “Here we goooo!” So I hope Rush, the liberal’s public enemy #1, does sue.

The real lesson is what this tells us about higher education.

I’m glad my daughters are not her students; although it’s unlikely that their professors will be any better.
notropis on October 14, 2009 at 2:54 AM
The bottom line is that all these accusations of racism against Rush have all the ear marks of being a Henry II / Thomas a Becket moment: “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest!”
It seems very petty and vindictive of Obama to be using all these surrogates for his personal vengeance against Rush.
And if Obama isn’t behind this (or at least cheering on the various actors), then he should come out and put in end to it.
Obama should have another Kanye West moment and come out and say all these people calling Rush a racist are “jackasses”. Or maybe a Skip Gates moment and say that although he doesn’t know what is going through Rush’s mind, he is certain that all these people accusing Rush of racism are acting stupidly.
Ordinary American on October 14, 2009 at 3:04 AM
The word games and spin concerning Rush could not be more idiotic.
From some of the leading NFL sites,we get this pathetic line of ” Rush did not SPECIFICALLY deny he made the comments” drivel.
What part of “these comments are made up, there are no sources,dates, or audio to back up these bogus quotes” leads these journalist to conclude that Rush is not denying he made these racist comments.
The public seems to be a lot smarter than the journalist because going through the comments, they do a pretty good job of calling out inept reporting when they see it:

She’s such a special writer.

It’s not like he just raped a 13 year old and can be easily forgiven.
Jeff from WI on October 14, 2009 at 7:06 AM
At the risk of insulting rabbits, this dumb bunny buys and, worse, sells the lib notion only white people can be racist. It’s not somehow racist of libs to think all white people aspire to work, beat, starve, et. al. people of another race?

Rush should sue. And similarly, until there are penalties for people spouting this kind of crap, it will never stop. Intellectual honesty is simply a tool that these asshats don’t possess.

using ‘leftist’ and ‘idiot’ together is redundant.
Midas on October 14, 2009 at 8:37 AM
I couldn’t agree more! They persist with their race-bullying because it works for them, and it works for them because we let it. Rush has got enough bucks to track ‘em down and tie ‘em up in court long enough so they might think twice before trying this crap again, and I hope he sues them for every nickel they’ve got.
petefrt on October 14, 2009 at 8:45 AM
It’s sickening how democrats need villains to make themselves look good, and if they don’t have them easily available will create them with lies and falsehoods. Lady, how convient you seem to gloss over the fact that democrats owned the plantations in the Old South. But why let facts get in the way of the democrat agenda?
mozalf on October 14, 2009 at 9:05 AM
This whole thing confused the second I heard the quote on ESPN days ago. I IMMEDIATELY started searching for the quotes. The only “source” I found was Wikiquotes and it listed them as “Disputed.” I thought “surely this must be common knowledge if it’s true.”
Having not found the original source, I wrote to ESPN and asked them to source or apologize.
I can’t believe these media people could have been so sloppy… well, I can believe it because they have an agenda.
mankai on October 14, 2009 at 9:16 AM
Rush should buy the team, name it THE ST. LOUIS RUSH (see cool new logo at ace) & hire an all white roster – no plantation there. Oh, wait, the race mongers will find fault in that, too.
If Rush hires black players he is a plantation owner = racist
If Rush hires white players he is insulting black intelligence = racist

The Rams already lost to the Vikings on 10/11. This Sunday, they will get beaten by the Jaguars. Their next opportunity to not get beat will be 11/8… their Bye week.

Mo Rocca’s 180 Degrees Blog with a comment about Nelson Mandela and Dafur? Weak. Very weak.

Jeez, just have Rush buy the Lions instead. I don’t think he’d tolerate the ineptitude that William Clay Ford has all these years. And who knows, if Matthew Stafford gets healthy and the Lions get a defender or two, they just might win something besides next year’s first-round draft pick.
