Maybe if he fought some dogs and lied to the feds about it. That would get him in the NFL. Maybe if he had an illegal arsenal. Or what if he was arrested…..say….8 times. Or if he were involved in an incident at a strip club where someone gets paralyzed. That might get him in the NFL. Maybe if he is involved in a shooting outside a nightclub after the SuperBowl….or caught in a motel room sniffing cocaine off strippers…or caught in his car lining up lines with a credit card? All of these have happened and these people are allowed in the NFL. Actions speak louder than words.

I’m sure no one would block a move by “REVs.” Sharpton or Wright to purchase a NFL team…HMMMM….

The McNabb comments and the Magic Negro song are critiques of the liberal establishment for their obsession with race and their suffocation of honest debate with PC newspeak. The comments have almost nothing to do with Obama or McNabb directly.* As noted by a previous commenter, the Magic Negro term was coined by a LIBERAL columnist with the LA Times, and the song parodies the projection and false hopes white liberals were placing on Obama.

* The only relevance to McNabb as a person is the implication that he is not that good a QB. I happen to think McNabb is really good (he would look pretty good in a Panthers uniform), but it is hardly racist for Limbaugh to disagree with me on that. And it is beyond stupid to say that Rush is a racist for thinking that a bunch of (mostly white) reporters are PC obsessed idiots. I think their disgusting behavior in this “controversy” pretty much confirms that allegation.

Patrick:

Every American does indeed have the right to be offended by whatever someone says, but maybe if more people stopped allowing other people to offend them, we’d be better off as a society. If you give other people that much power over you, what does that say about you as an individual? Will wouldn’t have a website if he worried about all the people he might offend with his posts.

Patrick,

The fact that every verse in that song is a cited statement and fact made by libs like Sharpton, Jackson to the LA Times in your mind must not but important but then when did libs ever allow facts or truth get in the way of shoving their agendas down our throats.

Dear Patrick,

It appears that you are not as familiar as you think you are. Here, I’ll help you. The “Magic Negro” term was coined (in reference to Obama) by this guy:

And thus the song parody.

It is of course only a problem when a conservative “entertainer” points out the absurd.

Limbaugh and every American should remember that while we do indeed have free speech in this country that it is also every American’s right to be offended by it and make a character judgement of a fellow American based on the things they say.

Limbaugh was dropped based on a character judgement.

Free to speak, free to judge someone by their words.

Ahh, Freedom.

Fergie of the Blackeyed Peas + her song “My Humps” = Part of the Miami Dolphins

Rush Limbaugh + statements he never made = Not owner of the St Louis Rams

Total of Both

NFL = Duke University and Mike Nifong
