"If the sports media are going to get upset with me for saying that their desire for black quarterbacks to do well might influence their opinion and coverage of McNabb,

All Rush did was comment on the fact that the media was backing off, and pushing for, a popular Black Quarterback. Because of the racial double standard - only left wing people are allowed to comment on anything racial - the remark is immediately turned into a "racist" statement. It was done in the media, by the politicians, and here on this thread.

It does no good to fight this perception. The left "knows" that Rush is a racist. After all he is a conservative, so he must be. Any comment that can be misconstrued will be. And anybody who defends him is a "racist" also. It silences the Right.

"Don't annoy me with the truth, it's how we can make it look that counts."

It's "PoMo" time again!
