The failure of McCain's divisive message to resonate beyond the base should have alerted Republican leaders to the resurgence of the center, but they seemed to have missed this clue.

If recent polling is any indication, people don't want to be associated with the party that elevates the self-satirical wackaloons. Especially when they refuse to be honest about who they are.

I have to hand it to Rush Limbaugh. It's just that I don't know if I should backhand him or extend a handshake of congratulations in recognition of him pulling off another publicity ploy in the name of shameless self promotion.

Perhaps the most precise word to summarize Limbaugh's reaction to news that his inflammatory commentary of the past excluded him from ownership in the NFL is "fear."

Limbaugh last week learned the overdue lesson that there are real-world consequences for trafficking in hate speech.

Diversionary Tactics Aside, The Tapes Make Clear Rush Limbaugh Is A Racist

Sure, Limbaugh didn't make two racist comments attributed to him, but he made a bunch of others that we can verify.

Rush Loses Rams Bid, Rest of Us Just Lose

Carl Jeffers | Posted 10.16.2009 | Politics


Carl Jeffers

Let Limbaugh make his bid, and then express your disapproval by boycotting his radio show. He should not have been forced out of the process just because of who he is.

On paper rain helps the Angels. If games get rained out, off days go away. And since the Angels have 4 starters and the Yankees 3, edge to the Angels. Of course, the Yankees have Mariano Rivera.

Rush Limbaugh: Why the NFL Just Said No

Dave Zirin | Posted 10.16.2009 | Media

It was almost jarring to hear Rush whine about "tyranny" on the left, when it was his compadres on the right who just said no, and rejected Limbaugh's bid to buy the St. Louis Rams.

Arianna was right to question the networks about their "balloon boy" coverage. Does anybody really wonder why old media is becoming more irrelevant, while new media continues to pave a new path?

What Rush Limbaugh's Bid for the Rams Tells Us About Hate Speech

Michael Wolff | Posted 10.15.2009 | Media


Michael Wolff

Rush Limbaugh's effort -- aborted by his fellow investors, it seems -- to buy the St. Louis Rams has given me the insight. I think people have a natural instinct to want to declaim, to inveigh, denounce, opine, and show-off.

Rush Blitzed

Roger I. Abrams | Posted 10.15.2009 | Entertainment


Roger I. Abrams

Limbaugh had made himself an icon of the reactionary right and an enemy to all persons of color. Two-thirds of all NFL players are black. There would be consequences for Rush's choice to pander to racism.

What were the producers thinking when they cast DeLay in the first place? Did they believe that after seeing him do a samba, America would forget what a repulsive human being he is and embrace him in its collective bosom?

George Will once described the game as a "mistake" combining the two worst aspects of the 20th Century: organized violence and committee meetings. He might as well have added "equal opportunity."

I Live In The Land Of You, Me And We

Matthew Modine

The first three words of the Constitution say, "We the People." "We" is a lovely word; it is inclusive. Life forms and nature are a delicate dance of symbiotic relationships. Some people understand that there is only one world and we are all in this together.
