Chris, my comment was a total tweak of the media, a play off my comments about them re: Donovan McNabb. Wanted to see if I could send them into a tailspin again, for the fun of it. And, sure enough, it has. I revealed this a little later in the show to a caller.
Of course it is a nonsensical comment. We had just had two weeks of stories on the first Super Bowl with two black coaches (the lib watch dogs that selectively quote me, and from where most in the media hear my comments, as opposed to actually listening to my show, totally ignored what I said positively about that), illustrating my McNabb observation that it is the sports media who are focused on race, not me.
So, I goosed them again and my audience knew what was going on, which is why there was no uproar until the lib blogs got the word out yesterday.
I call it Illustrating Absurdity By Being Absurd.
All the best,
Rush Limbaugh
I swear the left does not have a sense of humor
He IS losing it, isn't he?
This kind of reaction is what he gets paid for.
no, they didn't get it because they think everything is an attack, and everything he says is an attack, so he set 'em up reaaal easy.Maybe the "libs" didn't get it because it wasn't funny.
You know, his first comments about McNabb always sounded like a Skins fan talking. (Which he is)
Not so much racist, just a Skins fan that doesn't like McNabb.
Actually, Rush's team is the Steelers
It's not like he's setting a trend or anything.
First he says the media wants McNabb to do well because he's black.
Then he says the media wants Grossman to fail because he's white.
Nah, that's not a trend.

Maybe the "libs" didn't get it because it wasn't funny. Rush is only "hilarious" to his crowd of ditto-heads.
Nuff said.
I understand those that understand it's a joke and actually find it funny have a lame sense of humor.You do realize that about half of the people reading this thread understand that it was a joke and the other half actually think Rush Limbaugh meant what he was saying.
Nail, meet hammer.Double Barrel said:Name one comedian that everyone thinks is funny.
I won't wait for an answer, because there will not be one.
I'm not saying that I find Rush's humor funny, but that's just me. I like George Carlin, but I know a lot of folks that don't find him funny at all. Humor is in the eye of the beholder.
I see Rush's point, but I think he's just doing it to razz people and get his name in the national media (again). It's his job to generate ratings for his advertisers. Capitalism 101.
Watching those two bicker back and forth about how they're right all the time might make my head explode.Texas_Thrill said:i'd actually like to see him and franken do a show togehter. a dummy from the left and a dummy from the right. should be a good show.

Good one!*yawn* wake me when Rush knows Football 101 then i'll listen to his football jokes.

It was obviously a joke. I seriously doubt that he thinks Rex Grossman is being criticized because he is white.

What do you expect from a drug addict who makes his money off dividing a nation on public airwaves? Only in America.
I think eveyone here is missing the point. This had nothing to do with his comments about McNabb. This had everything to do with pointing out the national media's obsession with black success. All making a big deal about black coaches in a Super Bowl does is point out the fact that they are black and we are white. There is no colorblind society. The media makes you believe they want a colorblind society but the fact remains, there are much fewer stories and less social issues in a colorblind society. And everyone jumping on the bandwagon of black sucess is only further fueling the fire. I'm happier with the fact that there were two Christian coaches in the Super Bowl.
I think the two understood it and to Dungy's credit said i look forward to the day when this is not an issue.
The only thing that Rush cares about is Rush. He throws mis-truths and lies about everything like they were candy. Can't stand him.
It only became an issue this year when it was crammed down our throats for the two weeks leading up to the SB. I think I speak for many when I say it doesn't matter to me what color the coach, owner, GM, player, trainer, cheerleaders are.
The only folks it matters to is those who can benefit from divisiveness like the media.

No offense but how is pointing out two black head coaches made it to the superbowl for the first time divisive?. It also became an issue this year well um becasue this was the first time it has happened.
I think a bunch of stories were pimped during the superbowl and this was a story line that had added historical importance to a degree. Not on the level as say Jackie Robinson playing with the Dodgers but in its own way somewhat of another step. IMO
