Limbaugh dropped from group looking to buy Rams

[Henry Hawk]

What he said about McNabb had some truth to it.........it was NOT a racist comment.....he just told his opinion of it.

you guys are making me laugh my ass off today.....it is like Christmas came early for you....

[Bo D]

.....it is like Christmas came early for you....

I also heard he is gay!

I rest my case.  The whole thing is stupid bull shit and I'm just tired of anyone who isn't in the "inner circle" and who isn't being a sheeple getting trashed. Anymore all you have to do is say the word black and you're called a racist if you happen to be in the wrong political party or disagree with any of the current policies no matter what party you're in.  Keeps your small minds off of the larger picture for a few days though don't it?

Hum, how interesting......George Soros is part of the group that's trying to purchase the team.

Jeezus 'effin Christ!  Do you sheeple believe everything you hear and take it as the truth??  Since you believe these people never lie, you completely discount the possibility that this might have just been yet another lie told by those paid so much money to tell them?  This country is in bad shape when the sheeple believe everything they hear on the radio.

"The league has 78 percent African-American players," Lebowitz said. "Do you bring in someone who has made racist statements to own a team that's largely made up of players the owner has made slurring statements about?"

With Limbaugh out, the Checketts group is sifting through new investors. A person familiar with the process said global financier and philanthropist George Soros is not under consideration to be a part of the Checketts group. Former Rams running back Marshall Faulk could be part of it, a source said.

I think I need to change my signature line to say:

America ...being dumbed down moron at a time....

[me]

The whole thing is still a crock any way you shake it and I don't even like Limbaugh.

[Exterminator]

And ya'll are to dumb to realize that this is being done as a deterrent to distract from real problems that need handled.  This is all bull shit of the first order.

WTF?  I thought I was joking about the whole senility thing; now I'm not so sure.

[Exterminator]

Keeps your small minds off of the larger picture for a few days though don't it?   

LMFAO!  Look at the big brain on 'me'.

During the 3:00PM ET hour of live coverage on MSNBC Friday, co-host David Shuster admitted that racially charged quotes he and other hosts attributed to Rush Limbaugh had not been verified: "MSNBC attributed that quote to a football player who was opposed to Limbaugh's NFL bid. However, we have been unable to verify that quote independently. So, just to clarify." Shuster did not formally retract the quote or apologize.

On Monday, Shuster revealed the supposed source of the false quote: "Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Farrior says Limbaugh should be denied the privilege of owning an NFL franchise for comments like 'slavery had its merits.'" Speaking with columnist Stephen A. Smith later that afternoon, Shuster's co-host Tamron Hall wondered: "Should a person who says there are merits with slavery be able to have this privilege of owning a team?"

As result of the ensuing controversy raised by the false quotes reported by MSNBC, CNN, and other media outlets, Limbaugh was removed from an investment group that was considering purchasing the St. Louis Rams football team. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kyle-drennen/2009/10/16/msnbc-admits-unable-verify-false-limbaugh-quote-no-retraction-or-apolo

CNN's Sanchez Apologizes for Running Fake Limbaugh Quote

Yesterday CNN's Rick Sanchez was set to go on air and issue an apology for running an unverified quote attributed to Rush Limbaugh. Breaking news of the now-infamous "balloon boy" intervened, and Sanchez was unable to deliver his apology.

It came to the attention of the NewsBusters staff that Sanchez plans on issuing a correction today on-air, reading  the following statement:

    Earlier this week we provided quotes attributed to Limbaugh to illustrate why some people and players felt that Rush Limbaugh was too divisive to be an NFL owner. One of these quotes, which was in a column in the St. Louis Post Dispatch and in a book largely about conservatives, was refuted by Limbaugh. We have been unable to independently confirm that quote. We should not have reported it and for that I apologize. I feel it is important to hold folks accountable when they make mistakes, and that should include myself and my team.

[Update, 10:55 am Eastern: Sanchez also put an apology of sorts on his Twitter account (per National Review Online)

    i've know rush. in person,i like him. his rhetoric,however is inexcusably divisive. he's right tho. we didn't confirm quote. our bad.
