<div><font size="2" face="Arial">It would seem that you are not very well
informed with regard to the Donovan McNabb/Rush Limbaugh incident. From the
ESPN web site:</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div>George Bodenheimer, president of ESPN and ABC Sports, issued the
following response: <font size="2" face="Arial">(to Limbaugh's
resignation)</font></div>
<div>
"We accept his resignation and regret the circumstances surrounding this.
We believe that he took the appropriate action to resolve this matter
expeditiously."<BR>
The comments referenced by Limbaugh came during Sunday's pregame show
when the conservative talk show host offered the opinion that McNabb wasn't
as good as the media perceived him to be.<BR>
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The
media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,'' Limbaugh
said. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit
for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried
this team."<BR>
<font size="2" face="Arial">It is an unambiguous fact that the media was
rooting a little extra for McNabb and if you watched any of the reporting
and commentary at the time you couldn't miss it. It is hardly racist to
acknowledge this reality. Jump ahead five years and substitute BHO for DM.
It isn't racist to point out the obvious.</font><BR>
<font size="2" face="Arial">In the first two games of the 2003
season McNabb's performance was sub par. To offer up the opinion that
he was currently over rated was just that, an opinion on his performance,
not his color. McNabb went on to have a pretty good year so consequentially
Limbaugh's comments may have been premature, or poorly informed,
or flat out wrong but they were opinions on a quarterback and not
racism.</font><BR>
<font size="2" face="Arial">Let's review. Rush did not say that McNabb <font size="3" face="Times New Roman">"was not subject to criticism because he was
black." <font size="2" face="Arial">Rush was not "FIRED" (note to jc: all caps
and repetition do not constitute truth) from ESPN. That being cleared up, it
really isn't at all hard to characterize your misinterpretation of the
incident as liberal bias.</font></font></font><BR>
<font size="2" face="Arial">For the record, I do not think that it's racist
to disagree with people of color. I don't think that it's racist to not get
all tingly in my lower extremities when a person of color gets elected to
high office and I most assuredly don't think it's racist to offer up the
same criticism to a person of color that I would to any other public
figure where it's warranted. In fact, I do think that it's more then a
little condescending and, quite frankly, racist not to.</font><BR>
<font size="2" face="Arial">Now, All that having been said, I don't think
YOU'RE a belligerent, racist, liar but, you sure do sound like one. Oh,
and by the way, you have on several previous occasions called me a bigot

<div><br></div>
<div>I'm not trying to pick a fight. Nor did I call you a racist. I just
find it curious that you keep putting your stamp of approval next to
comments that I and most sensible people consider to be racist. First
there was your defense of No Weatherman and then your recent defense of
comments by Rush. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The recent Rush comments, by the way, were similar to comments he
made about Donovan McNabb - that DM was not subject to criticism because
he was black. Those comments, if you remember, got Rush FIRED from espn.
You don't have a problem with the comments but enough people did that he
was FIRED.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It is hard to pass off my disgust for Rush's recent comments as some
kind of liberal bias in light of this history, these facts. And it is
equally hard to make sense of your support for Rush's comments in light of
this history, these facts.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Lastly, I like how you brush off my suggestion that you characterize
all liberals as holding the same stupid view but you do it again below! I
never said anything negative about Soul, or Williams, or Steele. I never
said anything about any of them. I don't even know who some of them
are!</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font><br></div>
<div>But somewhere, somewhen, some stupid liberal made some stupid comment
about one of them and the rest of us have to pay - because we're all the
same.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And somehow this all explains why a comment made by Rush, which would
have gotten him fired were he still on espn, isn't as racist as common
sense suggests.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Look, maybe you're not a racist, Gary. But you sure sound like
one.<br><br>Joe Campbell</div>

find it highly amusing and not a small bit refreshing that you feel
comfortable enough in your creative writing style to forge ahead
without feeling even the slightest need to anchor yourself to
anything resembling a fact. The errors in your brief communication
are many, and I'm just sure that you'll forgive me if (what with
life being short and all) I don't bother to enumerate them. Lets
face it, as one of The Chosen Ones most fervent followers it's clear
that you have gotten beyond the need for accuracy and reason where
it comes to your cute little school girl affaire
d'coeur with your freshly minted deity. My only request would
be that if you are going to do the other members of this little
electronic community the service of pointing out that evil
"Crabtree's" position on any given topic that you provide a cite so
that the others can make a reasonable distinction between my actual
stand on any given matter and what is a fantasy fueled by
your freshly found religious
fervor.</span></p></div>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"></span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Note
the quotation marks Crabtree uses – he’s clearly wanting to

GOP.</span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"></span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Of

abortion, education, taxes, health care, the second amendment, the
global warming hoax, and the war on terror, then I suspect a

(once) hope he fails miserably, myself

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"></span></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">So,
Crabtree only wants a less restrictive place to live if it suits
his notion of a “less restrictive place to live” – he’s against
reproductive rights, even for rape victims. Let’s keep them
thar women broodmares! Remember, he’s a staunch supporter of
misogynistic “conscience laws” that enable pharmacists to refuse
to dispense contraceptives, emergency or otherwise, which would
certainly make America a much more restrictive place for women to
live. The broken health care system folks like Crabtree want
to cling to has made America a much more restrictive place to live
for many regular hardworking Americans – he’s seemingly proud of
the fact that we are the only industrialized nation where people
lose their homes due to unconscionable health care costs.
The Second Amendment our founding fathers gave us isn’t good
enough for Crabtree and his ilk – they want a Second Amendment on
Steroids. He’s content that the War on Terror has lead to
the terrorization of US citizens through the erosion of our
guaranteed civil liberties and put us on a path to a police state
– that sure seems like a much more restrictive place to live to
me, and that’s without even getting into the shame of torture and
denial of due process to suspects. He’s pleased with a tax
system that unfairly burdens the least among us while providing
nothing but loopholes ripe for exploitation by the greedy amongst
us, especially those who benefit from the special interest
lobbying they fund. Education – his solution is
I don’t know what, but it would likely look similar – and have
results similar to – the deregulation that’s caused the financial
crisis that came crashing down around Bush’s ears. God only
knows what nonsense fills his head about global warming – it would
appear his understanding of science is limited to the right-wing
whack jobs who flunked science.</span></p>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Fortunately,
the election was a resounding rejection of those like Crabtree who
want keep doing things that don’t work. And, I’m sure we
have his sore loser whining to look forward to for the next four
years. After all, this was a legitimate win for Obama, which
must make the win that much more difficult to swallow

that it all depends on which side of the Kool-Aid jug you sit on.
I can't believe that you can say with a straight face that what
you might find on drudge or the freep is as over the top as some
of the mindless, howling at the moon, wackiness found at
kos or huffington.</span></p></div>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">As I
said previously, if there is an issue that "our" president should
come up with that I think makes America a better, safer, or less
restrictive place to live, I'll support him. On everything else
I'll fight him to the best of my ability and hope for
his catastrophic failure. Since I am unaware of a single
issue with which I am in agreement major policy wise, I don't
think that there will be much to support. If every mega
leftist measure your hero puts forward is an abject failure
it will hopefully discredit the ultra liberal wing of the democrat
party and hasten the rise of a truly conservative candidate. All
to the greater glory of our republic, in my
opinion.</span></p></div>
