Speaking of...

...Not knowing what you're talking about...

Raving dipshit Tom Sorenson says that Rush Limbaugh doesn't know football. He also says that he rarely listens to Rush's show, but the truth is that he never listens to it. Sorenson also pretends (as a so-called sportswriter) to know football and other sports, but anyone who has ever read his column can attest that such is definitely not the case. His worthless fishwrap, The Charlotte Obscurer even keeps his byline hidden online so that would-be eschewers like me will sometimes accidentally read his toe-the-company-line drivel. Swear to God, if I know beforehand that an article comes from his pen, I will not waste my time. His lack of writing talent is that bad. Today, though, seeing the headline "OK, Rush doesn't know football, but so what?" I forgot to screen my actions through the be wary of inane talentless idiots filter, and clicked the link to the article.

Newsflash to Tommy: When Rush references "The Media", he's talking about that media that is part of the problem...YOU. Your paper acts as if its purpose is to drive the culture of its readership toward your defintions of social equity. Your paper is owned by McClatchy Media, the same folks that published Obama's memoirs (during the campaign) and professed its endorsement (again during the campaign) of the Big Zero. The exact same meritless fawning over McNabb that Mr. Limbaugh was criticizing then is what he (and I) can't stomach from you dingbats now: the lust to prop up an undeserving black man in a position of (unearned) responsibility as a manner of effecting a "spread-the-wealth" equity on everything in our society. Another newsflash that you aren't bright enough to grasp on your own: Affirmative Action is a bad thing. If you reward a person of color, simply because of the color of their skin, then that is an act of racism that perpetuates that person's inferiority, and their dependence on your presumed generosity.

This is part of what Rush was criticizing when he worked for ESPN. Paraphrasing: "McNabb is a mediocre quarterback, and part of what keeps him from being a better QB, is the lack of criticism regarding his faults... that criticism which is withheld by you, the liberal media, because of his skin-color." And it's just like you cocksuckers to run from the blame you deserve by claiming that Rush's comments were critical of McNabb, instead of you. And you keep shaming yourselves by your continued pretense to miscredit that blame.

In your very first sentence, you say,

I don't care if Rush Limbaugh buys a small piece of an NFL franchise. He'll be a minority owner, and being part of a minority might be good for him.

And in that statement, I say that you sir are a liar. You do care, and greatly. As does your employer. That is why you wrote the piece, and that is why they publish it. Rush's long-held minority status, however, is a journalist unafraid to report the truth. Something you know nothing of.

You also wrote,

Some found his comments racially loaded.

Is that any more astute or insightful than saying, "Some people recognized that he was speaking English, which is the predominant language in the country where he lives"?

Then, you also drag out this nonsense:

There was a time when the subject was an issue, a time McNabb would have been shifted to the defensive backfield, a time black athletes were not given the opportunity to run an offense...

Not given the opportunity to run an offense? Bullshit. Name one, Einstein. Name one black NFL player, or a player of any color, who wasn't allowed to play quarterback, regardless of his talent, but because of his skin color.

One. Player. Ever.

Can you even be that fucking dense? Can you honestly, factually report on a situation out there where the best quarterback on a given team was relegated to playing a different position simply because of his skin color? And none of the decision-making people, coaches and management, cared enough about winning to put the most capable player at each position in the most appropriate job, on this mystery team?

Not only does Rush Limbaugh know more about football than you know about journalism, he knows more about football than you know...about football.

You say you found his comments "silly." What is silly about your ineptitude? What is silly about your industry's attempts to embrace and promote socialism? What is silly about the abrogation of responsibility when it comes to reporting the news? What is sillier than a sitting US President supplicating himself (and all of us, by proxy) to the IOC for the benefit of his Chi-town cronies? Did you criticize that silliness?

Maybe there's a team out there with so few quarterbacking options, that the O!Bummer's lack of experience or talent might seem like no big hinderance. What do you think?

To you, Tom Sorenson, this flush-o-gram.

Dickhead.
