I think pretty much everyone knew he was lying through his teeth about that. However, he had to, because to say otherwise would have been political suicide, and therefore bad for the country.

If Obama gets re-elected, look for him to promptly do a full 180 with his stance on this matter.

Someone should inform the gays that Obama being re-elected is more important than them being treated equally. I guess Obama can reach out to everyone.. the Muslims, the Euros, Al Qaeda, etc and win the Nobel Prize.. but not those gays! They are below even the terrorists in Obama's mind.

And I nominate Ossama Bin Laden, all that family money and a sure hit with black Muslim players. Maybe American style football can finally supplant soccer in the minds of those that think football.

Now I know Obama is a communist bent on subjugating us all :roll:

I don't like a damn thing about Rush but Bin Laden directly caused aircraft to fly into buildings and kill thousands. It's a ridiculous analogy.

Hell, Obama is Satan if it comes to it based on this crap.

Would a radical cleric who's never done anything to kill anyone, but publicly called for the death of America be a suitable NFL owner if he just had the cash?

I'll say one thing, you are just as good as hyperbole as RL. You, the judge and jury.

How's things going Rush?

So you can't answer the question, huh?

I guess words do actually matter.

Who really cares, I mean Sharpton, come on folks, that miserable POS built his reputation on Twana Braley's lies and has never apologized for his shit over the incident.

I consider using Sharpton as a reference for anything the equivalent of typing Nazi or Hitler, Goodwin's law applies.

It wasn't 'pill popping' pill popping. Just ask Whoopi... Perhaps Rush should have raped a 13 year old instead of getting addicted to drugs.

Jackson said in a telephone interview that Limbaugh had made his wealth "appealing to the fears of whites" with an unending line of insults against blacks and other minorities.

How exactly has Jessie Jackson made his money?

I don't see the big deal, neither Rev. Sharpton nor a few players complaining will diminish or improve the chance of Dave Checketts and Rush Limbaugh buying the team. Currently they are one of six ownership groups trying to buy the team or a majority stake in the team. This has more to do with money and the other NFL owners, which I doubt care much about Sharptons letter. It's a simple case of finding the right suitor for the team and approval by the NFL and the owners. Players may protest and cry but they all play and want the money. If the money is there even Bart Scott would be dancing to the bank( though he already did that with the Jets during the offseason). Whoever does buy the rams, well they need to overhaul the team.

Who gives a shit about what " Al Sharpton " has to say in the first place. I'm just surprised that he didn't try to spin a race issue on it. If Limbaugh has the money then great, if good old Al wants to stop it then coff up the money fool, out bit Rush.......

Otherwise I hope he just shuts the fuck!!!!!!

Anyone vote for Mr Sharpton?

Someone in my local pub was musing that if Mr Limbaugh gets a NFL team would he go with an all white rouster?

Sure it is. Rev. Al is calling Rush Limbaugh a bigot who doesn't deserve to be an owner.
For once I agree with Rev. Al.

Actions have consequences. If the NFL selects Rush as an owner, don't be suprised by a huge boycott of the NFL. The NFL doesn't like controversy, so I expect that they will reject Rush as an owner-too much baggage.

LOL.. Yeah.. Suuuure. The NFL lets murders, rapists, and dogfighters back in. But its OMG just so controversial to allow Rush to be an owner. Please.

lol yeah the NFL has zero legs to stand on this. Rpaists, Murderers, Drug dealers, Dog killers and they are suddenly afriad of the controversy Rush would bring?

And while Al can voice his opinion why the fuck should the NFL listen to him? Is he offering to buy a team? Or is it just more race baiting from old Al?

Because Rev. Al can organize a boycott that will cost the NFL billions? Some black players would boycott the team and it would create a firestorm of controversy for the NFL? Controversy is not good for their business. Look into Coca Cola and Rev. Al.

Screw that. Capitulate to a bunch of thugs organized into a union? Consent to mob rule? My ASS.

One of these so-called reporters needs to ask them whether Plaxico should be back in the league. Or vick. They'd probably vote to let OJ back in if he could still compete.

Or anything for that matter. Although, as I posted earlier, I doubt anyone would be crying a river if he announced the purchase of several McDonald's locations in Detroit.

Wow, a fat joke. Way to stay classy. :roll:

If you're going to hurl insults, at least make them current and relevant insults. Rush has lost like 100 pounds in the last year or so.

Maybe yall should just stick to the pill jokes. :roll:

If people refuse to play for his team it could be bad for business.

How long would that last? As soon as the tax bill comes for the 15,000 sq ft. mansion, the players will be putting the pads back on.

Stephen A. Smith actually had interesting commentary on this. He basically said that nobody is going to walk out on a multimillion dollar contract because they don't like the owner. It's a business and all about the $$$. If Rush does get a team, in reality, nothing will be any different, except for the media-created hype and spin.

One positive outcome in Rush getting the team is that he could do all the scouting in the Dominican Republic himself.:shocked:
