If they made Vick clean the restrooms in Philly would you be ok with him working in the NFL?

Players come and go...the owners are the permanent fixture of a team for a long time. Look at Al Davis, the man is a living dinosaur.

In the end Rush was kept out by one of his own. Not Obama, Not the Liberal Media, Not Jackson or Sharpton, And not the players...but by one of his own. Meaning White, Rich, Republicans.

And remember. The players belong to a strong union...which is the reason Vick is really back in the league. Well the union and Dungy (Christian) and Reid (Mormon) taking a chance on him.

There is a difference between talking and whining.
Yeah, he's spewing real racist stuff there. So lets ignore the fact that one of his frequent stand in hosts is a black man, that one of his good friends, who calls into the show all the time, is a black minister who is also an ex NFL player. Yeah, he hates everyone who doesn't look like him.

The real problem is that liberals hate anyone who doesn't think like them.

I don't give a **** where Vick works though I would prefer it not to be as QB for the Eagles. But that's because he isn't the QB I want, not because of the crimes he commited. He can be a wide receiver or running back....just not QB.

The owners didn't vote, though one owner (I believe) said he would vote against. Some players said they wouldn't play for him. But no one pushed him out. He won't sue anyone.
I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know the exact way this will play out, but Rush will sue media outlets like CNN and the like, for slander and character assault, not the NFL and not the investment group.

Two black people close to him that's a record. He is entertaining and unbelievably smooth the way he gets his audience all fired up and ready to go.

you of course have a link with quotes, or a video, or some source for these accusations of Rush making "racist and irresponsible inflammatory comments"??

Wapasha, this question has been asked quite a few times on this very thread and not 1 single response. They are hit and run posts with nothing to back them up. This question can't be answered honestly by the left because Rush never said any of the things they accuse him of. It's all fantasy.
