Nonsense. You just absolved Limbaugh of racism, & to do that you had to presume to “look into their souls.” You can’t have it both ways: express an opinion about whether someone’s a racist, & then, when someone disagrees w/ you, act like it’s presumptuous for them to think they can know. Do you imagine your readers are too dim to remember that you just did exactly the same thing? That that’s what the commenter is responding to? If you have to look into a person’s soul to know he’s a racist, then you have to look into his soul to know he’s not one.

Seriously, the witlessness is breathtaking.

Respectfully, this has nothing to do with free speech.

Your free speech rights protect you from the government limiting your speech in certain ways. The NFL isn’t the government. And in this case the NFL never got around to denying Limbaugh . . . the consortium that he was part of that was trying to buy into the NFL dropped him before the bid.

Limbaugh was trying to be business partner of the consortium. They have a right not to do business with him. If you own a store, and David Duke wants to buy into your business, you have a right not to work with him. Your product may be available to the public, but your business does not have to be.

Furthermore, nobody has limited Limbaugh’s speech. He is still free to say exactly what he wants. He hasn’t lost his job because of his speech (although EIB, not being the government, may well be free to drop him if it chooses depending on his contract).

This situation has nothing to do with “free speech” issues. At all.

You are right….this is about free speech.

Exactly who should he sue? He was dropped by the consortium, not the NFL. A private consortium has a right not to take his money. He has no right to demand that the consortium allow him to join them.

By all means though, rage against the machine. Damn that free market capitalism! Damn it to hell!

Its Kickoff Time.

Yes the country will rise in in one mighty voice at the injustice Rush Limbaugh finally paying the price for having insulted blacks, women, and Latinos for the last twenty-five years.

He just take a break in the Dominican Republican again. Clear his head.

WHEN ALL of the material facts and evidence come into plain focus, sue these bastards until they squeal like the pigs they are. “Malice” is the key prong that must be proven in all liable & slander case[s].

Intentional alterations in aid of the smear job cast upon you is pretty well a 60 yard winning field goal for you.

Wait until your monatary damages can be identified and determined clearly as your financial monatary loss of profit,salary etc. then file a civil Racketeering count[s] against anyone with a computer and the ability to alter your comments or add anything which isn’t true.

Fraud is fraud which is covered under RICO concerning the use of the U.S. Mail or Wire/phone/computer. The best part of civil RICO is the Statute[s] provide for “Mandated Tebble Damages” including “attorney’s fees and costs”.

This would be a game winning touchdown for all your supporters, with the stigma of being a “Racketeering Enterprise” attached and stamped of the front door and foreheads of the defendants forever.

No out of court settlement. No wishie washie “we admit no wrong doing” crap. Take it all the way to a jury for them to rule upon the “preponderence of the evidence” and allow “The Rule Of Law” which we stand for as conservatives teach them a lesson they’ll never forget. The very harsh STING OF RICO IS THE TICKET WITH A FOUR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IN YOUR FAVOR TO RUN UP AND SETTLE THE SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!! Its Kickoff Time.

Jindal said the state judiciary committee should review the incident in which Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace for Tangipahoa Parish’s 8th Ward, refused to issue a marriage license to Beth Humphrey, 30, and her boyfriend, Terence McKay, 32, both of Hammond.

“This is a clear violation of constitutional rights and federal and state law. … Disciplinary action should be taken immediately — including the revoking of his license,” the Republican governor said.

Humphrey said on Thursday that she called Bardwell on October 6 to ask about getting a marriage license, and was asked by his wife whether it would be an interracial marriage. Humphrey said she was told that Bardwell does not sign off on interracial marriages.

She said the couple, who received their marriage license October 9 from another justice of the peace in the same parish, have reached out to an attorney to determine their next step.

“We would like him to resign,” she said. “He doesn’t believe he’s being racist, but it is racist.”

What an overreaction. The man is obviously being a racial provocateur.

Get that man a football team. Or an exorcism.
