Rush Is a Victim of Free-Market Capitalism

So, Rush Limbaugh is crying big weeping tears of victimization. I am so happy to live to see this day. Is he a victim of "liberals" as he whines? Or is he a victim of himself and his own multi-millionaire career as a perpetrator of divisiveness? Is he even a victim?

Rush claims that he was shut out of part-ownership of the NFL franchise St. Louis Rams because of his "conservatism". Nevermind that he is not a true conservative at all, as his disparity with the views of a true conservative, Ron Paul, clearly demonstrates. There are plenty of NFL franchise owners that are decidely politically conservative. Nor was he "libeled", as his talking-head defenders attempt to argue. Nobody relied on false quotations for this decision by private business.

Rather, Rush's own statements equating the NFL to the "Crips" and "Bloods" and the outrageous suggestion that Donovan McNabb is only a quarterback in the NFL because he is black, are responsible for his public perception as being racially bigotted, as well as a complete idiot. He is a multi-millionaire for his public persona and now he finally suffers a negative repercussion for it. A private business decided that the controversy surrounding his idiocy, with specific regard to the NFL, was not worth the adverse affects to their business venture. This is the free-market capitalism to which Rush fancies himself to be such a great champion. ESPN apparently thought the same thing when he spewed his idiocy about McNabb and was canned for it.

Is he a victim? What has he lost as a result? I dare say for Rush and his ditto-heads, he will reap the rewards with possibly even more listeners to his nonsense. Or maybe he has reached a saturation point of gullible dupes to his radio show. Poor Rush.
