Everyone knows Soros is behind Moveon.org
Really? I had to look up who he is, and I am more politically aware than most people. I doubt very much most people have any idea who he is.
If you listened to Rush or watched Fox News, you would know exactly who he is.
Once Rush's name came out, it was inevitable that this would happen. Rush has made a career out of pissing people off and saying outrageous things, and Rush has been incredibly successful doing so, so he is a household name with every one having an opinion on him, and as such is pretty divisive. All the other stuff was just fuel to the fire that was already there, and already made the result inevitable.
Which doesn't change the questions you skirted.
Do you think Limbaugh would've been kicked from the ownership group or denied by the NFL if his name didn't get leaked?
Do you think he would've been kicked from the ownership group or denied by the NFL if all the sports writer hit pieces didn't come out after his name got leaked?

Yeah I'm sure he wishes he'd stayed with the Royals.
You think he would be making $50 million a year and have 15 million people listening to him every week if he was still in KC??
If he could win 20 games a year with an ERA under 2.00. :lol:
He makes $50 million a year?
It would be tough for a promotions director to win 20 games.
He signed an contract extension in 2008 through 2016 for $400 million dollars and I'm sure he makes appearance money on the side.
Oh, sorry. No, if no one had known he was a part of the group, there would be no controversy. I was not clear enough on that, sorry.
I'll respond to YOU, since YOU'RE actually having a conversation
In this case can you honestly say its "No one but Limbuagh's" fault that he isn't part of the group trying to own the team now?
I read Limbaugh's account of it, and I'm still mystified. They thought it would create a PR nightmare, but wanted to go along with it anyway. Limbaugh claims he continued to ask about their support, and they were fine with it still. Then finally, they want him to pull himself out (Limbaugh says no, you have to remove me yourself), due to the controversy.
How could they not see this coming? Furthermore, Limbaugh is still trying to garner sympathy about it, which is what a good political radio host would do, but honestly, if you are a controversial person in politics (or in any other field), a lot of your new ventures in arenas not entirely political (or in whatever field it is you are involved) will make you take a lot of heat-so I do not have sympathy for him.
But he's not in a new venture he has been involved with the Pro Sport stuff since his early days in Radio.
What would you say if George Soros was a partner and it happened to him?I read Limbaugh's account of it, and I'm still mystified.

Its not his venture in to sports that is new. It is this new venture into sports after firmly establishing himself as a hate monger where the problems came into play.
I find it very inspiring to know that even today that money doesn't always win out over ethics.
What's most amusing at this point is Limbaugh's over the top self-pity. It would be nice to see Limbaugh be a man for once in his pathetic life and actually take responsibility for the things he's said, but I won't count on that happening.
This view is perhaps the most succint I have seen from the non-dittohead perspective ~
"to non-dittoheads Rush trying to go "mainstream" is like a hardcore porn actress trying to be in the next High School Musical movie." - Ken371
But, would you deny her of her right to attempt to be in the next high school musical movie?
Maybe not a H.S. musical since presumably a hardcore actress would be over 18, but an adult musical probably so. But than I am much more sympathetic to hardcore actresses than I am to El Rushbo.
I'm sympathetic to anyone's right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
As much as I cannot stand Rush Limbaugh....he would be no worse an owner than Georgia Frontiere was....not to mention Al Davis.
I don't. Divisive politics have no place in the NFL.
Politics + Football = Lame
