Right wing conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from the group of investors that want to purchase the St. Louis Rams.  Evidently this is some kind of victory for civil rights activists because some of them balked at the idea of someone like Rush Limbaugh, who’s made several racially insensitive comments over the years on his popular radio show, owning a football team.

The difference with Limbaugh and every other rich white guy in his late 50’s is that Limbaugh says what he says in public.

Even though I’m a tree hugging liberal, I’ve always admired Rush Limbaugh.  Not because I agree with his politics, because I don’t, but because he’s very good at what he does.  If you are a fan of talk radio, you cannot help but notice that he is the best at what he does.  There are many other right wing radio talk show hosts on the air, but none are as good at what they do as Limbaugh.

Does Limbaugh say some outrageous stuff that borders on racism?  Perhaps, but that’s his job.  He’s a conservative talk radio host that talks for a living.  He has a massive audience and he knows what they want to hear.  Is he a racist?  Maybe, but why would a racist want to own a team that plays in a league where most of the players are black?  If Limbaugh is a racist, maybe the thing he needs to do is to interact with more black people, something he would easily be able to do if he was a part owner of an NFL team.
