And I understand it. I just don't believe in PC syntax attacks on comments that can be read a number of different ways. Decent, non-racist people get attacked that way too, simply because they lacked the skills to construct a sufficiently PC sentence.

As to people being sick of the story: I am, and I just assumed others were too. I never thought anyone would object to that part of the post, but I'll remove it if it makes you happy.

I have long believed, and continue to believe that overly strict PC-ness has a net damaging effect to the progressive movement- it alienates more people than it helps. Even members of most of the groups ostensibly "helped" by PC speech codes would be unable to keep their speech perfectly within its bounds.

That being said, Rush has made many genuinely offensive remarks "bone in your nose" and making fun of Jocelyn Elders' & Jesse Jackson's accents come to mind.

You have know way of proving that Limbaugh meant to disparage black QB's. The implication is purely in the imagination of fevered PC police. It may well be that Limbaugh thinks black QBs are lousy, but HE DID NOT SAY THAT.
