[SIZE=+1]Pigboy too racist for the NFL[/SIZE]
Live by the racial slur, die by the racial slur
Link Excerpt
The vulgar Pigboy has been dropped from a group trying to buy the St. Louis Rams after several black NFL players objected and the league commissioner weighed in against Limbaugh's "divisive comments." "It has become clear that his (Pigboy's) involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions," said Dave Checketts, who is leading the bid to buy the Rams and keep the team in St. Louis. "We have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion," Checketts said in an emailed statement. "Surely there are less racist Republicans with money."


as we can see the little ditto heads are crying like Glenn Beck here but has anyone heard if Rush is crying like a little bitch on his show today?

 

[midcan5]

I found it funny and hypocritical that Limbaugh wanted to be part of one of the most socialistic organizations in America, a place where there is Union representation and profit sharing - imagine that. And then drugs are not allowed, do you think that would include hypocritical drug users who are also owners?

What was the name of that stupid douchebag who was talking about Limbaugh on the floor of the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ? ........

This is at least the second time Democrap politicians have tried to demonize and destroy a PRIVATE CITIZEN. Whats just as bad is the fact that liberal citizens actually support this lunacy .......

Oh quit being so flipping hypocritical.

This is an example of an utter failure of the media to verify it's stories in their haste to demonize (whether it's Limbaugh or Jennings or Van Jones) - a failure that includes spreading rumour, innuendo and guilt by association in lieu of good reporting. And it isn't just the left - the right is just as bad, and many seem to accept it...as long as it's not attacking their guy!

Driveby was referring to Sheila Jackson Lee, who is NOT part of the media and her lamenting the NFL should not accept a bid from Rush Limbaugh to buy the team.

then I guess Sean Hannity is a liar too because he said it was a mistake.....maybe you should go after Sean as well?

 

[Jay Canuck]

Sean Hannity was ready for that one. “That was a mistake. A technician accidentally put up the wrong picture.”

“Really? Okay, then tell me, what was the joke? ‘The Clintons not only have a White House cat’–picture of Socks–’they also have a White House dog.’ What’s the joke? What picture was supposed to come up?”

Alan Colmes was standing nearby. “You know, he’s got a point, Sean. There’s no joke without the picture of Chelsea.”

But Sean would have none of it. “It was a mistake! A technician put up the wrong picture. That’s what Rush said. And I believe Rush.”

I never heard Sean make the claim, he may have offered a reasonable explanation but as I said he didn' tmake the claim. Now are you going to choose door number one and admit that what you claimed was a total fabrication? Or are you going to choose door number two and provide evidence that supports your claim? I think you'll choose door number three (which most leftwing idiots choose) and do neither.

 

[Jay Canuck]

Rush did it on his show and then he and Sean Hannity tried to make half-ass excuses to explain it..... and now you are trying to pretend that it didn't happen at all - typical right-wing shit.

If Rush did it then it should be easy for you to provide an audio or video clip or even a show transcript, yet you offer no evidence at all.

If it happened then prove it!!!

 

[Jay Canuck]

Fact - On his TV show, early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh put up a picture of Socks, the White House cat, and asked, 'Did you know there's a White House dog?' Then he put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 years old at the time.


now go wash the sand out of your itchy, twitchy vagina.

Prove it!! Provide an audio or video clip or even a show transcript. But you're not going to be able to and you want to know why? Because it never fucking happened you stupid canadian fuck!!!

This is what happened.

LIMBAUGH: Thank you. This show's era of dominant influence is just beginning. We are now the sole voice of sanity, the sole voice of reason. We are the sole voice of opposition on all television. This is the only place you can tune to to get the truth of the opposition of the one-party dictatorial government that now will soon run America. Oh, I mean, we are only beginning to enjoy dominance and prosperity. Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them--one of them in particular is.

David Hinckley of--of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has--he's got--it's very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.' Could--could we see the cute kid? Let's take a look at--see who is the cute kid in the White House.

(A picture is shown of Millie the dog)

LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That's not the kid.

(Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton)

LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That's--that's the kid. We're trying to...

let's have your have a look at the link you didn't provide first.......

 

[Jay Canuck]

it's easy folks....if I can't comeup with some kind of internet proof it didn't happen. See I ran a marathon the other day but because I didn't photoghraph it or post anything on the internet....I didn't.

 

[Jay Canuck]

Limbaughs own Archives only go back 3 months....but really he and Hannity were talking about and making excuses about something that didn't happen....and that is reality in dittohead world.

From your own link -

excerpt: then showed the picture of Chelsea Clinton. She had a displeased look on her face, as if to show that she was not too happy with the mistake.

Rush continued:

All right. We’re sorry. We didn’t intend to hurt her feelings. We’ll be back with our final segment right after this. Don’t go away.





nice opinion blog.
so Rush apologized for something that didn't happen?....thanx for showing us your Lonestar Logic - it has been a real treat and very informative.

You're a fucking idiot.

The following is what actually happened:

On his TV show in 1992, a few days after the Presidential election, Rush Limbaugh was reviewing In/Out lists (a popular fad at the time):

In today’s New York Daily News right here… it’s the obligatory in-out list. Every time there’s a massive change somewhere, people are in, people are out. I’m now out. It says about me on here, Rush Limbaugh, loud-mouthed conservative and Bush favorite. He’s out.

Rush commented that most of the other things on the days’ list were not funny, but that “one of them in particular” was. Rush quoted from the David Hinckley article

“In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.”

Could– could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at– see who is the cute kid in the White House.

A picture of the “cute dog” (Millie) appeared on the screen instead of the “cute kid” (Chelsea).

Rush immediately said

No, no, no. That’s not the kid.

Then a picture of Chelsea Clinton came on the screen and Rush said

That’s– that’s the kid.

Rush apologized several times and told a story about how he had learned early in his career the importance of not making fun of someone’s appearance. He then apologized again and said

I’m– I hope you will forgive me. I’m fatigued. I’m tired…

Before breaking to a commercial, Rush asked the audience what he could do to make amends for the incident and, in an odd, spontaneous joke, proceeded to spank himself.

Was Rush trying to make the most of a mistake, or was the whole thing scripted—apologies and all? The fact that Franken had to use a fake version of events to argue his case tells us a lot. The real version has Rush talking about a “cute dog” as well as a “cute kid,” obviously not a set-up for calling the kid a dog.

It is not an assault on Chelsea, as her picture only comes up in the context of correcting the error.

Franken set up a fake joke, falsely accused Rush of trying to tell it and then complained that the joke would only make sense if Rush put up the picture on purpose. The question of, “what picture was supposed to come up?” is not ironclad, it is ironic. Rush replaced the picture.

Rush has always maintained the incident was an accident. On his show four days later, Rush offered an explanation to his audience. First, the show played, “Who’s sorry now” in the background and Limbaugh pointed to himself. Then he said:

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry. Let me tell you very quickly what happened last Friday night. There was a new in list and new out list that was published in the newspaper. The writer said in, cute kid in the White House; out, cute dog in the White House. Could we show the cute dog in the White House who’s out, and they put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton back in the crew. And many of you people think that we did it on purpose to make a cheap comment on her appearance. And I’m terribly sorry. I don’t–look, that takes no talent whatsoever and I have a lot of talent. I don’t need to get laughs by commenting on people’s looks, especially a young child who’s done nothing wrong. I mean, she can’t control the way she looks. And we really–we do not–we do not do that on this kind of show. So put a picture up of her now and so we can square this.

They then showed the picture of Chelsea Clinton. She had a displeased look on her face, as if to show that she was not too happy with the mistake.

Rush continued:

All right. We’re sorry. We didn’t intend to hurt her feelings. We’ll be back with our final segment right after this. Don’t go away.

This apology offers considerable insight into what happened. Rush indicates that he had asked to see the “cute dog”. That is not what happened on the show, but is probably what had been planned–which explains why Rush has it backward. If Rush was supposed to ask to see the “cute dog” first, that would explain why the technician put up the picture. They had it cued first. In addition, if they had the pictures cued according to the names “Chelsea” and “Millie,” it is even easier to see how a mistake could have happened. Both are female names and like most of America at the time, the technician probably did not know Chelsea by name.


Nothing that you claimed happened , happened you fucking idiot. Whats wrong they don't teach you canadians fiucks reading comprehension?!?

Tell me are all canadians as fucking stupid as you?

That is not the incident in question.

I remember seeing his Sox the cat, White House dog "joke" comparing Chelsea to a dog on his TV show, and I remember the picture of Chelsea he used. Her hair was long and very wavy and the wind had blown it in front of her face covering most of her face resembling a Komondor. His audience got quite a laugh from it.

So there is no denying that it happened and the fact that there is no video from that pre YouTube era just goes to show how easy it is for CON$ to deny events from that period of time.

Oh quit being so flipping hypocritical.

This is an example of an utter failure of the media to verify it's stories in their haste to demonize (whether it's Limbaugh or Jennings or Van Jones) - a failure that includes spreading rumour, innuendo and guilt by association in lieu of good reporting. And it isn't just the left - the right is just as bad, and many seem to accept it...as long as it's not attacking their guy!

Really ? I'm sure you can give an example of a Republican letter and petition sent to a private employer pressuring that employer to fire a private citizen. You could also give me an example of a Republican representative demonizing a private citizen ON THE HOUSE FLOOR to persuade an organization to exclude said person from an ownership opportunity in that organization..........

I can give you an example of a Republicans demonizing Jennings in an incredably hypocritical way by sending a letter to Obama to fire him -or rudely yelling "YOU LIE" to the president as he's talking or calling for Michael Moore's arrest. You just want to see the persecution on one side and condone it on the other.

Limbaugh, like Moore, like Beck, like celebrities - are a public figures. They reap what they sow.
