Well you have to draw the line somewhere. The McNabb comment is nothing. When you slam an American Hero and say the guy that killed him needs a medal of honor you need help.

Do your homework please...that quote was fabricated.I have no problem with Rush trying to buy a team - that's his right.

I have no problem with the NFL refusing to sell it to him - that's their right.


I do have a problem with elected leaders of this country targeting individual citizens on the House floor for expressing "divisive" opinions.

My question is simply this: Would Keith Olbermann attempting to buy the Rams have elicited the same response from Sheila Jackson Lee, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al?

Yeah and african americans aren't the only ones that commit crimes in the NFL. You would be amazed if you only knew. Just because they report on the more popular players than tend to be black. Doesn't mean that there aren't players of other races doing drugs, selling drugs, and beating their wives. The media loves to tear down african american players. Some of them deserve to be punished but they are often made an example of.

I don't think firstdown said anything about african-american or non african-american.

I'm glad that Rush is not part of the bidding team anymore. I suspect it's for reasons beyond his comments though

No, you're right. I was thinking to myself that black players came to mind when I read, "involved in murders." I think it was implied, though it wasn't explicitly stated.

No biggie, I don't think first meant anything by it.
