The Rude Pundit — ... in the wake of Barack Obama's election? Remember how they apologized profusely when it came out that the beating wasn't racially motivated in any way and was a stupid argument over a bus seat? Oh, wait. That last part didn't happen at all. Why ruin a good racist point with the facts? Do you think any of them will blame anti-gay rhetoric from the right for Jack Price's pain? Again, it's best just to keep breathing. So far, in conservative nutzoidville, there's been more outrage over Rush Limbaugh not being able to buy the St. Louis Rams. ...

And the whining doesn’t stop. This from RedState:
Earlier this evening, as most of you now know, one of our own, Rush Hudson Limbaugh, while taking withering fire, crashed and burned.
Tonight, Rush is no longer ‘just’ a radio personality.
Tonight, Rush is no longer ‘just’ a NFL owner denied
Tonight, Rush is us. And we are him.
Tonight Rush became the metaphor for all of us… every man woman and child in this great nation of ours.
The enemy of this great nation, the enemy of you and me, Rush’s ...
'Rush is us. And we are him.'
Political Animal —
... purchase the St. Louis Rams NFL franchise parted ways with radio host Rush Limbaugh. The right-wing personality's involvement had drawn fire from the NFL players' union, which objected to Limbaugh's history of racism. In a statement, the investors' group said Limbaugh's' involvement had become "a complication and a distraction to our intentions." This caused quite a bit of frustration in conservative circles where Limbaugh was characterized as a victim. Perhaps the most amusing was this heartfelt RedState item , which argued, in apparent sincerity, "Tonight, Rush is us. And we ...

Rush ‘Crashed and Burned’
Taylor Marsh —
... Oh, the indignity.
A man from on high brought to such depths.
A darling, a conservative favorite failing so utterly and publicly.
Rush Limbaugh brought low as you can go.
Never fear, his audience, his adoring fans are here. In fact, Rush is now his audience: Earlier this evening, as most of you now know, one of our own, Rush Hudson Limbaugh, while taking withering fire, crashed and burned. …
A man who daily immortalizes himself on radio has been brought level with his listeners.
After years of ...

This should be kept under a bell jar at the Ripley’s museum. And right next to it, Andy McCarthy’s comparing Rush Limbaugh to Dr. Martin Luther King. John Cole has some other choice candidates for the Crazy Archives.
Boycotting the NFL on Behalf of Limbaugh
PoliBlog: A Rough Draft of my Thoughts —
... bring undo and unwanted attention to the league, so why fool with it? More to the point, it was the groups seeking to buy the team that dropped Limabugh, not the NFL, although I still think he would have lost a vote had it reached that stage.)
h/t: DougJ @ Balloon Juice.
Update: James Joyner is on target on the whole thing.
And, amazingly, the boycott notion is the dumbest post on this Limbaugh/NFL business. That honor would go to this post.
Limbaugh whines that NFL is an outpost of ‘racism and liberalism.’
Think Progress —
... their precious little — National Football League as an outpost of racism and liberalism, which is what it is.
Listen here:
But as Media Matters points out, NFL teams, owners, players and personnel gave overwhelmingly to GOP since 1989. Limbaugh fans are rallying behind him, with some proposing a boycott of the NFL. A RedState blogger strongly supported the hate radio host in a post titled “Tonight… We Are All Rush ...
“We Are All Batshit Insane”
Comments from Left Field —
... I know that batshit insane has become the default setting in certain quarters of the right, but the response at RedState to Rush Limbaugh’s failed attempt to buy the St. Louis Rams is so far gonethat I seriously considered the possibility it was meant as satire. Unfortunately, I don’t think it is: ...

Weekend Opinionator: Rush, the Rams and Racism
Opinionator —
... perversion. There’s only one way this nonsense ever goes away: When we say “enough!” and tell the race-baiters their time is up. It’s too much of an industry, so it probably won’t happen tomorrow. But the Sixties ideal is crashing and burning before our very eyes, and I think it’ll take a lot of its warped obsessions down with it. Tsquare at RedState, however, seems to think these “warped obsessions” are the wave of the future, and I’ll leave you with his (her?) poetic vision of our imminent liberal dystopia : Earlier this evening, as most of you now know, one of our own, ...
