Even Limbaugh is entitlted to that even if he dogs the left for the same thing.

Just like racism is wrong from blacks, whites, and asians – no matter from whom it is “usually” given.

I really felt sorry for Mr. Limbaugh, until I read one of the comments on “Obama Throws Crumbs To Seniors” from a Senior who desperately welcomes the $250 lousy dollars he may get instead of the Social Security COLA increase next year.

I've I'm Rush Limbaugh tonight, then where in the world is my cut of his pay?
LOL

And to Kathy,

“I mean, can you only just imagine — if anyone on the left had actually published something as overwrought — as utterly irrational — as this?”

I completely agree with Leonidas. The left consistently makes ridiculus statements like that one. And yes, that statement from the right is also ridiculous.

Can you imagine — I mean, can you only just imagine — if anyone on the left had actually published something as overwrought — as utterly irrational — as this?

Yes, because I look at the Huffington Post and Daily Kos and see it all the time.

The can allow who ever they want to buy in or not. Last time I checked, it was conservatives who were fighting the most passionately for the right of businesses and other private organizations to do what they want to based on their own views of their best interests. I guess this is yet another conservative ideal Redstate and Rush are throwing under the bus as soon as it becomes inconvenient. The NFL is a private organization.

I find it pretty amusing that "outrage" kept the king of "outrage" out of a personal dream. It is sad but maybe he should have thought for a second as his mouth spent twenty years writing checks.

Yeah, the construction is powerful, and highly appropriate for really incredible, universally tragic or glorious events. That is the construction this craptastic post is using to describe Rush *being voted out of buying a damn football team*.
