Rush Limbaugh: Media Bashing Rex Grossman...

..Because he is a WHITE Quaterback.

From MVN, with audio snippet and comments

So apparently, according to Rush rex Grossman was being criticsized because he is a white quarterback. It certainly isn't because he is a slightly more fortunate version of Kyle Boller. It certainly isn't because he isn't that good. No, according to Rush it is because he is white. And the media hates white people.


Rush Limbaugh, stupid person or STUPIDEST person in the world. Discuss.

Also, the comment on that site - woo man its priceless.

    One of these days Rush is going to just overdose on painkillers and we'll all have a good chuckle. Until that time I'll just continue ignoring his shit.

    Rex Grossman should mostly just get criticized because he looks like a little kid.

    Last time this happened Limbaugh was taken way out of context and there appears to be a lot of links to follow there to get more than a couple of small quotes.

    Dude, its not out of context, he says flatly. And I quote: "The sports media has social concerns and they are dumping on this guy, Rex Grossman, for one reason, becuase he is a white quarterback."

    I'm not sure how you take that out of context.

    I remember this guy who went to highschool with us. We called him the pickled baby. He had no facial hair, thin wispy eyebrows, and a really small head. It was like somebody pickled his head while the rest of his body became large and fat.

    He used to watch my friend Zack undress after gym.

    The other week we were walking through Target when I caught a glimpse of him. He saw us. "Do a barrel roll" I muttered as we swung into a side aisle to avoid having to interact with him.

    WBAL buddy. Seriously, at least Ron White will admit that Iraq has been a disaster and No Child Left Behind is the worst thing ever in the world. But he will fall into that category a lot of the time.

    I listen to NPR. I know I know, but I got my Dad the other day. In Baltimore some black professor said that there needs to be a concensus among the balck candidates for mayor of the city or else they will run the risk of having ::gasp:: a WHITE mayor of Baltimore again (O'Malley whom is now Governor.) The regualr radio gave him a pass. My Dad was all, "if a white person said that rar rar rar rar rar (My Dad is not a racist he just can't stand double standards) NPR ripped him a new one in various segments. My Dad then said, "well who listens to NPR?" I relpied, "I do."

    He shut up.

    Ok so I took a peek at the transcript and it appears he is making the same point he did about McNabb. He said McNabb was getting credit he didn't deserve because the media really wants to see a successful black quarterback. Now he's saying Grossman is getting unfairly dumped on and that a black quarterback wouldn't get picked on so hard by the media.

    Eh, he sort of has a point because I agreed with him a little with the McNabb thing...but Grossman really does suck ass. I don't know. This really is a stupid debate.

    Reverse discrimination is a made up phrase for idiots. It's just discrimination. It doesn't matter who is doing it to who.

    When I was in high school I worked at this burger joint, and we had one black dude working there. He gets fired for jumping the counter and punching a customer. Two weeks later, he's hired back on again because he was the only black dude that had applied at the store and we had to have at least one.

    Dude this isn't reverse discrimination. Rex Grossman isn't good. Rex Grossman had a quarterback rating of ZERO one game. Discrimination of all kinds of bad. But to say that the sports media is dumping on Grossman because he is a white quarterback, while the man he is playing against is ALSO a white quarterback and considered the best quarterback of his generation is ridiculous.

    And it is shit like THAT that makes actual cases of discrimination get overlooked because some blowhardt like Limbaugh keeps crying wolf.

    And to say McNabb is overrated, thats another story. Personally I think he is. But he is LEAGUES better than Grossman. Took a team to 3 consecutive NFC Championship games and won his division at least a couple times in that span.

    He may be overrated, but I think that has more to do with the nature of Philadelphia fans, the size of the market he plays in. Conversely, look at Byron Leftwhich - aint no media fawning over him. But by Rush's argument he gets the benefit of the doubt because he is black, which he doesn't because he has been a disappointment. Balck or white.
