I am just outraged over this situation that has occurred concerning Rush Limbaugh and the NFL. The NFL has bent to pressure by the likes of AL Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the liberal media. The smell of blood was in the water when they got wind of Limbaugh's bid for the NFL team.
As usual, the liberal media has used the race card. They have accused Limbaugh of making racist comments but there is no evidence to support this. With the decline of all that was once honorary in the media, there were media outlets which exploited the unsubstantiated comments, such as CNN and their liberal flunky, Rick Sanchez. Sanchez refused to apologize when he found out that some of these comments that were found in some liberal book could not be linked to Limbaugh. Sanchez is the epitome of moral fabric in America. He was involved in a hit and run situation while drunk when he was working as a reporter in Miami.
The insidious factor in this matter is that Sharpton, and Jackson know they don't need facts to slander someone. They just have to put their garbage out there on the airwaves and bet on the fact that, a substantial part of America is uniformed and too lazy to think for themselves. They will believe what they hear as gospel and the damage to a person's reputation is done. I find Jackson and Sharpton deplorable hypocrites. Jackson and his illegitimate children. He lied about Martin Luther King dying in his arms when it was documented that he was not present at the time but arrived in the nick of time to smear blood on his clothing to substantiate the claim. There is Sharpton who is no more than an extortionist by squeezing money out of companies such as Anheuser-Bush, Chrysler, and Pepsi Co. by threatening to have African-Americans boycott their businesses by accusing them of mistreating African-American workers or not hiring enough of them. I wish blacks would examine their characters and stop seeing these figures as black leaders. We should see them for what they are. Sharpton and Jackson are race dividers. There relevance depends on animosity and bitterness between the races. It is ironic that they accuse Limbaugh of being divisive.
Jackson and Sharpton were joined by the Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee in accusing Limbaugh of being a racist. What I want to know, is where were these people when a young black honor student got the life beat out of him recently by other black kids? Black on black crime is at an all time high yet these so called black leaders are silent on the issue.
Getting to the heart of the matter, it is not racism that is the real issue here. It is the hatred of Limbaugh because he is a devout conservative that is outspoken on the issues. Liberals attack free speech that does not concur with their own. The race card is used because the liberals and the so called black leaders know that the issue will whip many blacks into a frenzy. I wish that my black brethren would wake up and realize that we have been nothing more than pawns to further the liberal agenda. The liberals know they can be effective in character assassination of Limbaugh because a significant portion of the population are uniformed and lazy. They want to be told what to believe and what to think. Even today, with information access at our very fingertips, people will not investigate what they hear coming from the media and others to form an informed opinion about something or someone.
The racial tension is growing America. People are scared to criticize someone if the person is black, because they will be called a racist. For example, if one dares to criticize Messiah Obama, he will be declared a racist when his race is the farthest thing form the issue. The criticism is Obama's policies. I was invited to write articles for a college website at http://www.toggin.com. I wrote from a conservative viewpoint , often criticizing Obama and the democrats. After about three articles, my column was dropped from the website without any notice. My inquiries regarding the matter were ignored. It was obvious to me what had occurred. I knew going in that I was walking into the lions den, writing conservative articles on a site where college readers from all over the nation will log on and read. I found out pretty fast while in college, that colleges are liberal havens from the professors on down through the student body. Liberal indoctrination is rampant by the professors.
All of this proves my point that Rush Limbaugh's conservatism was the true target in this NFL situation. It provided for the opportunity to destroy a prominent conservative figure. Using the racial card was the vehicle by which to achieve this. The NFL doesn't come out of this smelling like a rose. According to Limbaugh, he warned those involved that controversy would arise once it was known he was involved with trying to become a team owner. The others from the group assured Limbaugh that they would support him. Instead, they withered like a dead flowers.
Limbaugh stated on his radio show this week that his team was investigating the situation and gathering evidence. From this, I hope that he is planning a legal blitzkrieg against the reporters, their media outlets such as NBC and CNN. I would hope that Sharpton and Jackson are involved in any legal action as well. The media needs to be held responsible for there libel actions. What they truly need is remedial courses in journalism ethics.
