Unless you've been under a rock for the past few days, I am sure that you've heard something of the controversy started by race-baiters in the Democratic Party over the inclusion of Rush Limbaugh in a group that was bidding for the the purchase of part of the St Louis Rams, a franchise of the NFL.
[Rush article in WSJ]
Here are a few excerpts from articles about the opposition to Rush Limbaugh, a conservative, as part of this group:
From ESPN:
NFL Players executive director DeMaurice Smith on Saturday made a move to solidify the union against a bid by conservative talk show radio host Rush Limbaugh as part of a group that aims to purchase the St. Louis Rams.

Who is DeMaurice Smith, and what part do politics play into his opposition to a nationally known conservative being part of a group seeking to be part owners of an NFL franchise?
DeMaurice Smith has been the NFL Players Executive Director since March of 2009. He was formerly an attorney with Patton Boggs. He was named one of “The Top Fifteen Black White-Collar Criminal Defense Attorneys” by Corporate Crime Reporter in 2007. He has also given a lot of money to Democratic candidates, including Barack Obama.
He gave $2,000 to John F Kerry in 2004 and $3,300 to Barack Obama in 2008.
He has also given $500 to the DC Representative to the House of Representatives, Eleanor Norton Holmes...a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
He has also given to the Democratic Party of Virginia and to Senator Evan Bayh.
Don't you think that politics had a little something to do with DeMaurice Smith's opposition to Limbaugh, a conservative, being part of a group that is seeking to be part owners of an NFL Franchise?
I certainly do.
Tomorrow, I will look at another person who has gone on record opposing the inclusion of Rush Limbaugh as part of a group seeking to be part owners of an NFL Franchise.

It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and more influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).
Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, the handicapped, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. Don’t we all feel better?
