Think Progress » Black NFL Players ‘Wouldn’t Play’ For Limbaugh’s Team: ‘He’s A Jerk’

“A lot of us took it as more of a racial-type thing. I can only imagine how his players would feel. I know I wouldn’t want to play for him. He’s a jerk. He’s an –. What he said (about McNabb) was inappropriate and insensitive, totally off-base. He could offer me whatever he wanted, I wouldn’t play for him. … I wouldn’t play for Rush Limbaugh. My principles are greater and I can’t be bought.”

– Jets linebacker Bart Scott

Looks like the prospect of Lush Rimjob buying the St. Louis Rams doesn’t sit well with some NFL players.

Let’s hope every player – regardless of color – thinks the same way. They won’t, but you’d like to think something this foul would inspire them to do the right thing.

‘Leave Or Else,’ YouTube Video Warns Obama | Hatewatch | Southern Poverty Law Center

Well, turns out the Redneck Republicans are throwing down the gauntlet and demanding that President Obama step down next week or else. Or else what? Dunno, they even pulled down the treason video they had threatening our democratic way of life.

They aren’t alone. Here is a timeline of other seditious events calling for either a violent overthrow or some kind of secession BS.

And some conservatives want to abuse the system to create some quasi-legal justification for impeachment proceedings because they can’t believe the President in an American citizen.

You know what the sad part is? I know a couple branches of my family are conservative, and while that sucks, it’s unavoidable in most families. The part that really blows is that some of them feed into this hate and racism and call it patriotism.

I just hate thinking that such a level of stupidity exists somewhere in my gene pool. That said, they are my cousins so maybe it isn’t congenital.

Report: Vegas near bottom on list of smartest cities – Monday, Oct. 5, 2009 | 4:20 p.m. – Las Vegas Sun

Well, unfortunately this is not a surprise. Las Vegas also comes in dead last in a list of intelligent cities. Yes, this place has a long way to go before we get some respect. Part of it is the transitory nature of many of the folks who live here – a lot of them are working on getting rich quick. Some of it has to do with the hands-off libertarian experiment that says government shouldn’t try to help improve schools, bring in museums, cultivate the arts, etc. And, honestly, this is a new town that grew out really fast without taking the time to worry how to grow *up*.

Either way, at least we’ve still got the meth-head zombie horde in Fresno to kick around.
