When it comes to slurring Rush Limbaugh in his quest to obtain an interest in the NFL's St. Louis Rams, someone's going to have to work hard to top Adrian Wojnarowski. The Yahoo Sports reporter today called Rush a "racist" and a "bigot" and implied he would never hire a black coach.
Wojnarowski spouted his slurs on Jim Rome's "Rome Is Burning" show on ESPN this afternoon.
ADRIAN WOJNAROWSKI: People do not want a bigot as an owner. He's a racist. He's a bigot. He's shown it for years. He's made his career off in a large way off marginalizing black culture and African-Americans, and now he wants to buy into an industry where 70% of the players, the talent, the work-force is African-American and make money off of it? He doesn't get to do that.In response, Rome didn't exactly leap to Rush's defense, but did pose this question.
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
JIM ROME: What do you base your base your comment that he's a bigot on? Those two quotes that are floating around right now that he has said do not really exist, or his body of work?
WOJNAROWSKI: His body of work. You go back years, now. He's showed maybe through the years, he has said, been less vociferous as he was early. But he has time after time after time been a polarizing, made racially insensitive remarks. I mean, are you going to allow him to make an NFL, an African-American NFL assistant, with the Rooney rule, who has to sit in his office for what's essentially going to be a token interview and patronize that guy?The Rooney Rule is an NFL requirement that teams interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operations opportunities. Wojnarowski was clearly claiming that Rush would never hire a black coach. Wo-jo obviously isn't a Rush listener. Else he'd know that for the most sensitive position on his staff—that of call screener—Rush chose the inimitable—and African-American—James Golden, AKA Bo Snerdley, and that Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams are regular guest hosts behind the golden EIB microphone.

Rush's Black Staff
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 04:55 ET by kiwikitHowever he has had Snerdly, who happens to be black, on his staff for more than a decade. Maroons just keep it up. . . makes Rush look better and better. I hope his ratings spike from this. I'd never miss his show; that's why I subscribe and listen to stream whenever I've time.

The real point here is that
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 20:51 ET by nadadhimmiThe real point here is that the lib msm accuses any white person not an Ivy League graduate of racism. The lib, msm attack on regular Americans is dividing the country in a way unseen since the civil war. They really are precipitating a civil war as the msm attack the rank and file American who has decided they aren't going to take this crap any longer. I predict eventual violence as the SEIU and Acorn remnants punch Americans as Obama has instructed. With a depression, destruction of America's industrial base and the newly worthless dollar and the theft of peoples life savings, people may evolve into an ugly, violent mood of retribution against congress and business leaders. These elites have NO idea what they are playing with.
Sue Him Too
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 20:17 ET by rammingspeedWojnarowski is a shrieking hysteric. He memorized and repeated all of the guilty white liberal Rush Limbaugh talking points, and went on a rant to impress his buddies. He is uninformed and stupid, an embarrassment to his employer. Unfortunately, many people will be influenced by him. He should be named in Limbaugh's upcoming lawsuit.

THE LIST...
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 22:36 ET by danybhoyWhat I would like to thank El-Rushbo, GeorgeW Bush, Cheney, Beck, O'Reilly, Coulter, Michele Bachmann, Sara Palin, & the other main targets of the left today. You are the people who exposed the left for the hate mongering @-holes that they are. Just by being successful conservatives, the leftists in the MSM & on Capital Hill have ruined their reputations whether they know it or not.
Adrian Wojnarowski joins other leftist tools as Katie, Brian, & Charlie on the "big3" newscasts. He joins BathTubBoy, Special Ed, Matthews, the ever so sexy Maddow, Shuster, Donnie Deutsch, Mike Malloy, race baiter Eugine Robinson, hit & run specialists Hack Cafferty & Rick Sanchez, & there are others who are less then distinguished MSM types.
Congratulations Adrian, I know who you are, & I will remember to ignore you. You will diminish any operation you work at, just like the small list of @$$hats I listed. The people at Yahoo should really reconsider retaining your services, since as a sports reporter you screwed up by making a political statement where none was needed.
Thanks again to all of the conservative targets of hate from the angry left

Further proof of what I've
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 20:37 ET by JerFurther proof of what I've always believed about Rush. Ideology trumps race. He doesn't "hate" blacks because they're black. He just hates the 90% of blacks who are Democrats because they are Democrats and thus the enemy, which makes his mockery and ridicule of blacks appear to be racist.
Jer

Not directly. But
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 21:23 ET by JerNot directly. But inferentially, because they are overwhelmingly Democrats, and Rush hates Democrats--at least liberal [i.e. "mentally diseased"] Democrats. Limbaugh's objective is to discredit, demean, and deligitimize liberalism which is the core ideology of the Democratic party. And when a despised political party is in part comprised of such a high per centage of a single race, derision of that group often becomes blurred with racial insensitivity.

In fact I've heard him congratulate them, nurture them, and keep them on the line far longer than most other folks, when they call his show.
His long stated goal is to convert everyone. You cannot do that by using hate. (you listening O'Bama?)

Uncle Jer is on both sides of this issue. Oh, I, Uncle Jer, don't think he is a racist. But I can seeeeeeeeeeeee how others can call him racist due to all of teh hating, and prejudices, bigotedness, but like I said, I personnalllllllllyyyyyyy don't think he is racist, nevertheless, he is percievvvvvvvved that way because of how people look at his racist type......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
And that point is what, JWF?
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 12:44 ET by JerAnd that point is what, JWF? You're right, I can claim I've never called Rush a racist, because, well, I never have. I don't believe he is a racist. I do believe he has made a number of racially insensitive remarks over the years. There is a clear distinction.
Now, if someone were to produce the incendiary racial "quotes" attributed to Limbaugh [re James Earl Ray and the benefits of slavery] along with context--or claims that blacks were innately inferior and should be shipped back to Africa--my opinion might be different.
Furthermore, unless I'm mistaken, Rush himself has said some of his observations, e.g. regarding black thuggery and gangsta uniforms in the NBA could be perceived as "racist".
Consequently, I'm only "straddling" the issue in your mind and Shy's and others who misinterpret my comments and opinions and conflate charges of racism with criticism of racial insensitivity.
Jer

If you're going to continue referring to all these "awful" things he's said and acting the Devil's Advocate on the topic, then stop irritating us and MAN UP and call him a racist... or, say, a "guy that has a serious issue with blacks and minorities" (try that one... something.... ANYTHING... that really conveys an actual opinion you have of him.) But stop straddling the fence all the time. All you come off as is a people-pleaser and not someone with real integrity.

Wed, 10/14/2009 - 22:59 ET by MrShyCorrection for Phony Jer, who's still a phony.
Yes, I quoted you wrong, as you wrote Rush hated "90% of blacks who voted Democrat", not "90% of Democrat blacks"... just to clarify.
Regardless, what matters here is you flamed us all by claiming Rush "hates" these people, and that he "mocks and ridicules" them, as a general and sweeping condemnation of Rush.
You don't care to really absorb the case-by-case aspect of all of those "horrible" things Rush has said that Media Matters compiled and that I broke down. You still have to jump onto another thread and accuse him of "hating", "ridiculing" and "mocking" blacks... but with the caveat that it's ideological and not race-based.
I have slammed trolls here...
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 07:21 ET by JWF...for what I saw as hate based on political ideology.
Jer: He just hates...Democrats...and thus the enemy...
How is this any different for the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jackson's of the world with the phony race baiting and false accusations of racism?
Or is Uncle Jer's political ideology prejudice the last accepted prejudice? The only thing that is missing are the fake slavery quotes from the internet web postings.
It is a false accusation Uncler Jer. Source it. Where is the hate?

Thu, 10/15/2009 - 18:31 ET by MrShyExactly. Jer is saying, hey, Rush's racism (oops, no, sorry, not saying he's a racist... wink wink...) is really not racism, but it's ideology.
Then I guess we should all be okay with people in this country hating Palin, Rush, Beck, etc., because, well, heck... they only hate them (no, make that, revile them and wish the worst things on them) for their ideology, but not them as people.
Rush, in all of his "provocative rants" never seems vicious or to be reviling anyone, but just points things out in our culture more than anything.
And if Rush is a racist..

I have been the only "lib" posting on this thread. You made the unqualified statement about NB leftists and "Uncle Tom" accusations. I asked you for an example and your reply was that the hit pig is the one who hollers. Gee, I somehow surmised you might be referring to me.
You're actually more dense than your "kindred spirit" MrShy--as though that's possible. Why don't you run along and attack some of the women on this site as you apparently enjoy doing--the "psychotic bitches" as you so "manfully" refer to them.

Sarge was explicitly referring to resident [NB] "leftists" and so was I. I don't deny there are jerks out there who have regrettably referred to Sowell and other conservative black Republicans as "Uncle Toms".

I interpret it differently
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 23:07 ET by legacyrepublicanI interpret 'resident bomb-thrown leftist' mentioned by Serg. Rock to be those who blog on sites such as Daily Kos, et al, who use their pulpit to entertain the notion of conservative blacks being "Uncle Toms", not those who respond to the articles written here or there.
Well, legacy, I disagree
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 23:40 ET by JerWell, legacy, I disagree with your interpretation. But, FTR, if that is what Sarge intended, my reply would have been very different.

This sounds a lot like a bomb throwing leftist.
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 07:42 ET by JWFHe just hates the 90% of blacks who are Democrats because they are Democrats and thus the enemy, which makes his mockery and ridicule of blacks appear to be racist.
In other words, you are not allowed to say anything negative about Democrats because blacks are included in the crowd and you will appear to be racist.

Thu, 10/15/2009 - 07:27 ET by GeneralAlI'm not nuts about Rush but I have listened to his program since 1992. I'll tell you that he IS NOT A RACIST! I thought equality meant in all mannerisms? Why is it ok to praise blacks equally but we can't critisize? Rush goes after everbody he has a beef with!

Wed, 10/14/2009 - 22:03 ET by CaringwhiteguyNow we all see how easy it is to play the race card and why every politician is scared out of his/her gourd to speak true words that some might find "offensive". These guys took down Rush like he was a tiny sappling. What a can of worms. While Obama didn't win because he is 1/2 black he certainly hasn't been hurt by the fear factor.
My hope is that this unprecedented horrible treatment Limbaugh has received will open a few eyes and will also fortify Rush to really get even . . . Chicago style.

Unlike a lib, Rush would not hire a black just because he was black. He would hire a coach who was qualified, regardless of color.

Not possible. One, he doesn't even listen to Limbaugh, and likely never has. Two, since any criticism or joke involving a black person is racist to Adrian and his ilk, they aren't capable of distinguishing between real racism and ginned up racism.
It's funny how we never hear anyone whine about Rush lampooning white people.... like, oh, I don't know....Bill and Hillary Clinton, for example, or maybe John Kerry, or John McCain, or Barney Frank, or Nancy Pelosi, etc.
I feel for ya, Rush. If

If only you had slung a little crack, beat up a few women, or maybe killed someone in your past, then you would be considered acceptable for the National Felons League. Of course, you could always start a dog fighting ring to build up a little street cred for when the next team goes up for sale.
To be honest though, I'm not really shocked at this outcome. I pretty much knew the deal was sealed when shakedown Sharpton got involved.

When I was in high school,
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 20:53 ET by fitzfongWhen I was in high school, I dreamed of becoming a sportswriter. I grew up in Southern California, and was exposed to the work of some of the real giants of sports media: Jim Murray, Vin Scully, Ross Porter, Jim Healy, Bob Miller, Chick Hearn, Dick Enberg. These were truly intelligent people who enjoyed sports as the entertainment it's supposed to be. Soon after ESPN came around, the pioneers gave way to the bastardized, catchphrase-addicted, self-important mob of empty suits. Now the profession is filled with unintelligent, self-absorbed, sound-alike drones like John Feinstein, Skip Bayliss and this clown Adrian Wojnarowski. I gave up on the sports writing bit as soon as I got to college and realized what a bunch of freeloading, narrow-minded, culturally illiterate, one note geeks I would be joining if I stayed in the business.

Rush is not taking a stand for himself, he is taking a stand for all of us. If congressmen would not concernt themselves about this & focus on the real issue, the economy, this country would have fewer problems.
When will Americans stand up to 4-decade politicians & vote all of them out (left & right). I recently read a new book (A Time To Stand by Oliver) & it's a modern version of Americans compared to the colonial Americans who stood up to govt. tyranny. I recommend it to everyone cause the nxt 3 yrs. are going to get worse. An attack on Rush is an attack on all of us. I suggest everyone read the book & see what's in store for each of us.

Wed, 10/14/2009 - 21:36 ET by Birch BarlowI believe the week before he made the McNabb comment, Rush did a great commentary on the Rooney Rule during the ESPN pregame show. I think he talked about how it was insulting to minority candidates to have to be called in for an interview even when the interviewer knew the candidate had no chance of getting the job. I couldn't find the transcript of that with a quick search, but I remember it being very good if anyone can find it.

Ignorance on display
Wed, 10/14/2009 - 22:47 ET by mattmThe fact is Rush would never hire an unqualified black coach, or an unqualified white coach or an unqualified coach, period. He would base any hiring decisions he would make on pure merit - this is the point he has been making for years. This was the point of the McNabb comment: Don't look at anything but performance.
With Rush it's the content, not the color. But these libtards can't accept that because they focus on the color, not the content - which is why they're for affirmative action and reparations. It's why they think electing a Black president was some monumental milestone. And it's why anyone who doesn't think in their little PC box is a racist.

I predict Rush won't sue anyone. Really the only person he could sue is John Huberman. The columnists and reporters didn't make up the quote, so they can't be sued for it. They're under no legal obligation to research books they use as a source. Rush's beef is with Huberman.

Thu, 10/15/2009 - 12:37 ET by fitzfongObviously you only heard what you wanted to hear (surprise, surprise). He stated that he is gathering information to determine what steps to take next. Potential damages cannot yet be established if, even for no other reason, the team hasn't been sold yet. Meanwhile, feel free to marinate in your willful ignorance, while you further your reputation as an obsessive laughingstock.

That's not a prediction though, its a musing .

Liar.

Thu, 10/15/2009 - 12:03 ET by fitzfongOh, fantastic. Nwahs, the leader of the gang that can't shoot straight posits another ignorant opinion. As you're obviously not well-versed on most subjects, why should anyone be surprised that the law is also well above your pay grade? At this point, it's unclear who Limbaugh can/will sue because the dust has yet to settle. The Huberman angle might be a little tricky because of the relative slack "journalists" are cut in libelling a public figure. That said, those who knowingly used the false quotes in an attempt to damage an economic relationship may find themselves answering to a tortious interference charge. This includes Sharpton, Jackson and several journalists. Of particular interest will be Brian Burwell and Rick Sanchez who have already effectively admitted to knowingly employing these false quotes to damage Limbaugh. Burwell ought to get some advice on hiring a competent attorney...given Sanchez's DUI record, I'm sure he has counsel on speed dial.

See you comment after the fact
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 12:09 ET by nwahsI comment before the fact - I predict. I'm not psychic, I'm smart :)
Rush suffered no damages and he stated that on his show this morning. But don't despair, you make a good sheep :) Don't bother with thinking, I'll take care of that :)

Thu, 10/15/2009 - 12:20 ET by Candance MooreIf it wasn't for Rush Limbaugh's existence, you would have nothing to say on NB.
And thanks for taking a stand against the news networks who blatantly perpetuated a lie. I'm humbled by your display of ethics in showing how real conservatives should roll.
You're not smart. You
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 12:31 ET by fitzfongYou're not smart. You make a soft punching bag because you're such an ill-informed idiot. I run rings around you time and time again, not because it's a challenge, but because I love humiliating stupid, arrogant egomaniacal frauds.
The next time you think will be the first time. As of now, Limbaugh has NOT determined whether or not to sue. Part of the determination in filing a suit is assessing what, if any, damages he's suffered. After establishing who committed what torts and determining the potential damage claims, he and his advisor(s) will decide whether or not it's worth his while to proceed. Much as you'd like to sweep this chapter under the rug, there's still quite a bit to be played out.

Rush's case~
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 10:12 ET by Georgia GirlIf the statements made (whether through print/broadcast) are false, Rush has an avenue for malice being applied -- but more importantly, he has a case in claiming damage to his reputation... with the end result (in one regard) being that the slander affected his ability to buy the team.

The
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 09:57 ET by jessieHThe man is an idiot for not checking the facts. Rush never said anything racist. The more the idiotic media "report" the distortions about Rush, the farther back they move the country. Racist this or racist that, just pushes us closer to another civil war. Why not put out a list of things we can't say, so we can move forward. McNabb is a good quarterback, but he's no Favr. He's no Manning, either. Is that a racist comment? I haven't seen the list.
Why The Outrage?
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 10:05 ET by LeondeuxRush is controversial. This is indisputable. The racism angle is irrelevant.
The NFL is stringently anti-controversy. They routinely punish / fine players, coaches, and owners for saying things that they deem to be unsavory and maintain strict regulations on this.
So why is it surprising that they would have a problem allowing a guy into the league who makes his entire career off of being inflammatory?
The claim that this is somehow liberals v. conservatives borders on the idiotic. They would have reacted the same way and had the same comments had Howard Stern tried to bid on a team and he's a liberal.
So I ask again, why the outrage???
The NFL is "stringently
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 11:38 ET by fitzfongThe NFL is "stringently anti-controversy"? So is it surprising that they wouldn't have a problem allowing a guy into the league who makes his entire career off of destroying currencies? I await NFL Commissioner Al Sharpton to demand the same standard to be applied to this economic terrorist that he enforced on Rush Limbaugh. But I won't hold my breath...after all Commissioner Sharpton still has many "interloper" businesses to burn down.

I'm sure Rush would hire a
Thu, 10/15/2009 - 18:12 ET by RR GOPI'm sure Rush would hire a black head coach if he produced results and fired him if he didn't.
But, in today's PC climate firing/not hiring black folk for any reason is 'racist'.
A true racist would probably hire a black to do a job if they knew they could do it well and help them make money, but not if it were what said racist considered to be too high of a position. And, even if that happened, they still wouldn't like them...because they're black.
Also, if Rush did get the team and hired some black guy off the street to be a head coach...who knew nothing about coaching, he'd still be labeled a 'racist' for engaging in such a ploy as the results would pretty much be predictable. If he hired a competent black coach, then he'd be accused of hiring a 'token'.
A no win situation no matter how you look at it.
