Rush Limbaugh: Donovan McNabb was only where he was because he's black

[DS1]

I seem to remember a certain firestorm over this....

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. Yeah, he got fired over his racist remarks.

Lots of racist freepers were arguing "it wasn't racist because it's true."

[Umbram]

4. Lots of racist freepers were arguing "it wasn't racist because it's true."

I'm glad I haven't heard that argument here at DU . . . oh, wait . . . I have.

[sofa king]

19. I used to love it when I heard that.

At the time, my rejoinder was, "same thing with Steve Young--people only care about him because he's a Mormon."

(The point being, for those of you who are not football fans, both Steve Young and Donovan McNabb were among the most popular players of their time because they were the most spectacular kind of players: running quarterbacks.)

5. Glad there aren't DUers like that

This place is better than that.

































:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

7. In all seriousness, I'm kind of glad.

It's serving as a kind of litmus test.

[Umbram]

9. Yea, I prefer not to see DUers act like Freepers though.

At least the DUers came up with some new arguments justifying racism though, such as:

It is sexist to call a racist out for being a racist.

Freepers don't show that level of creativity.

10. It's confirmed some suspicions. n/t

2. Tom Delay

"So many minority youths had volunteered…that there was literally no room for patriotic folks like myself." --Tom DeLay, explaining at the 1988 GOP convention why he and vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle did not fight in the Vietnam War

3. Too bad the firestorm didn't roast the PigMan.

It will catch up to him someday. :)

[Umbram]

8. Why should it? A good portion of DU seems to agree that there is no problem... (nt).

[Swamp Rat]

12. That makes no sense logically.

[Umbram]

15. No, it doesn't. This is GD: P - one's only job is to support a random candidate at all costs. nt.

[Swamp Rat]

16. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to hammer McMaverick into scrap metal.

[DS1]

17. that's rather biblical looking

on a more modern sense, of course

[Swamp Rat]

18. Here's something a bit more 'biblical looking':

:D

[Umbram]

20. I like the first one better.

This one is just gonna get the H.C. supporters all chanting "Cult...cult...cult" like they are so fond of doing when they find that they have no enthusiasm for their own candidate but a whole lot of anger issues in need of venting.

[Swamp Rat]

25. ok

I don't worry about those kinds of things. :)

[MadHound]

6. Yeah, I remember that, this board was justifiably up in arms over this remark

But when we hear the same remark coming from a prominent member of Team Clinton, all we hear is spin, excuses and doublespeak. Oh, and sadly some people who actually agree with the sentiment. Sad and pathetic the depths that Hillary supporters plumb.

[Umbram]

11. Situational ethics, or lack of ethics altogether is the only explanation (nt)

[Kittycat]

14. One thing Clinton has proven without questiion...

She can not only make her supporters apologize for her, but defend her rovian tactics. Name any one of many things she's done... Red Phone, Hyper-Spin, Projecting, Injecting Racism, Attacking Religion. her entire kitchen sink philosophy is based on Rove's playbook. All of these incidents that we cried out about, are now acceptable to HRC supporters.

[redqueen]

13. Amazing, isn't it?

:(

[Pawel K]

21. Another thread where you won't see very many Hillary supporters

they are shameless.

[Umbram]

23. They wouldn't have a response that could pass the laugh test. (nt)

[onenote]

22. k/r

[cascadiance]

24. What about "Rush Limbaugh is only where he is because he's white!"?

... which is probably a more accurate statement anyway. Works both ways Limpjerk!
