John Hinderaker at Power Line posted a story tonight that is truly sad. Rush Limbaugh has withdrawn as part of a group of investors that was trying to buy to NFL football team the St. Louis Rams. It really doesn't matter to me who owns the team. What saddens me is the false accusations against him that have caused the controversy which resulted in his being forced to withdraw from the group buying the team.
Free speech is a basic right of the U. S. Constitution. There is no right written into the Constitution that says we have the freedom not to be offended. If you are looking for an excuse to be offended by someone else's free speech, you will probably never have to look very far.
I think it is truly sad that a man who has worked as hard to be a success as Rush Limbaugh has can be prevented from doing something that he would genuinely enjoy doing by people who do not share his opinions making false accusations against him. Rush Limbaugh is not a racist. Also, anyone who has ever listened to Rush Limbaugh knows that he thoroughly enjoys football and is quite knowledgeable about the sport. It is truly a shame that Rush Limbaugh will be denied one of his dreams by people who simply cannot stand to see someone who disagrees with them succeed.
