Thoughts on Rush Limbaugh & Slavery

Those who accuse Rush Limbaugh of supporting slavery ought to ask themselves some questions.

If Rush Limbaugh had actually spoke in support of slavery don't you think it would have been unveiled long before submitting his bid to buy the St. Louis Rams?

If Rush Limbaugh had actually spoke in support of slavery don't you think he would have been banished off the airwaves?

If Rush Limbaugh had actually spoke in support of slavery don't you think conservatives would have distanced themselves from him as fast as they distanced themselves from former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott in 2002?

If Rush Limbaugh had actually spoke in support of slavery don't you think President Obama and the White House would have put that front and center when they focussed their sights on him earlier this year and tried to cast him as the leader of the Republican Party?

Now, I disagreed with Limbaugh when it came to his comments about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb six years ago. I disagree with them now.

But if the NBA can put up with someone like Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban who trades in 9/11 conspiracy theories then surely the NFL can put up with Rush Limbaugh.
