You deserve it, comrade.

When I disagree with Obama, I find my self targeted by Obama supporters with name calling, and labeled as a idiot, war monger, raciest, and needing to have my head bashed in with blunt objects.

Here is the only references:

You find your self "targeted" because you bring up Obama in threads that have nothing to do with Obama. We already know you don't like Obama. There is no need to throw him into every discussion or start a new "Obama is stupid" thread everyday unless you like people picking on you for acting in this fashion.

If you have new factual information that supports your dislike of the president then great post it. But make sure it is relevant and not just something stupid like complaining because Obama takes his wife out to dinner. Now if you post something like Obama is still using drones to bomb funerals in Afghanistan or issues like this, these are, in my opinion, worthy of discussion.

Obviously this is still subjective and you may not find bombing funerals in Afghanistan very important and you may be more concerned about what Obama ate for breakfast and post about it. For me I'd have to call that a stupid post as his breakfast really isn't much of a discussion unless he's eating kittens and puppies.

I hope this helps before you start your war against being intellectual.

What, using the words intellectual and racism and Limbaugh in the same sentence?

I agree ... the person who called him an intellectual should be imprisoned.

Oops, that's Rush! My bad.

As for the NFL thing?

Well, I think this might have something to do with it.

Top 10 Racist Limbaugh Quotes

Is Rush Limbaugh a Racist?

You Decide!

Here's the complete statement that got Rush Limbaugh fired by ESPN this week. (They said he "resigned" but you know how that works.)

During Sunday's ESPN broadcast of their NFL Countdown program (9/28/03), Limbaugh was talking about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, who is black:

Limbaugh: "I don't think he's [Donovan McNabb] been that good from the get-go. I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. 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. The defense carried this team."

He has every right to invest in the Rams if he wishes to do so and people who don't like it have the right to invest their own money or not give the Rams money.

Honestly, I'm sick and tired of hearing people complain that someone shouldn't be allowed to do something that they are.

Now, I'm no fan of Rush (Limbaugh, not the band) but what kind of backlash would he see if he said what I just did? HUGE.

Also, why is the word "racism" being thrown around? Many of the examples given are not an example of racism, it's just prejudice.

... and while we're on the subject of racism, don't think it doesn't go both ways. I could write a book about how many times the fact that I'm a white male has been used against me.

I agree that Rush has every right to buy the Rams.

Still, that doesn't preclude the fact that Rush makes very derogatory remarks. Here is a top ten list of Rush's most inflammatory remarks in regards to race:

1. I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.

2. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

3. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?

4. Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.

5. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

6. The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.

7. They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?

8. Take that bone out of your nose and call me back(to an African American female caller).

9. 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.

10. Limbaugh attacks on Obama. Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for black a man who many Americans are supporting for president.

Actually, I would love to see Rush buy the Rams. I think he'd learn a lot........

Well, it incites people.

When you have the leader of the RNC calling Obama a Racist, it "sounds" and "looks" better when a black man does it than a white man calling Obama a racist. It is a very thinly veiled attempt of the RNC thinking that by promoting a black man to the head of that institution makes all of this a level playing field.

And because it is a veiled attempt at being allowed to say "it is nothing more than political discourse" and "my right to protest", people are now wearing that thin veil instead of a white hood.

The shame of it is because Michael Steele is a good GOP soldier, he is now and will forever be known as a GOP puppet with the GOP loudly proclaiming, "Hey, we got a black person too!"

Call it what it is - a circus side show.

He was also considered an outsider because he's not a member of the Republican National Committee. But the 168-member RNC clearly signaled it wanted a change after eight years of Bush largely dictating its every move as the party's standard-bearer.

Now, that is spooky as hell right there.

Pure and simple, it is a mask that many are wearing. Proclaiming it is their right to protest, march, speak out (and it is everyone's right) there are too many racial undertones disguised as something else.

Sociologists, social psychologists, and cultural anthropologists are going to be busy for decades writing, lecturing, and dissecting the first year of Obama's precendency, let alone the remaining two terms.

Already there has been enough blatant and subliminal racial degradations to to last a lifetime of research.

As for Rush, the player's union is going to have a lot to say about this - as well as the owners. Then again, my own Carolina Panthers' owner is one of the biggest accused racist in the NFL.
