Rep. King to NFL's Goodell: You Should Kiss Rush Limbaugh's Ass
By scarce Thursday Oct 29, 2009 3:30pm
The male equivalent of Michele Bachmann rose up in righteous defense of the leader of Republican party, Rush Limbaugh, at his unfair treatment by the NFL in not allowing him join a group that is intent on buying the St. Louis Rams of the NFL.
And no, Steve King did not use the exact words in the title above but he might just as well have.
REP. STEVE KING (R-IOWA): However, as I listened to the members of this committee discuss this and we've covered a lot of the territory, I note that Sheila Jackson Lee said that she is concerned that owners need the right image, and her opposition to who might be buying the St. Louis Rams, her reason for that is owners that might not have the right image. Now, she wasn't any more specific than that, but we know who she's talking about, and that's Rush Limbaugh. But I would ask Commissioner Goodell this question. Your position on owners have the right image, and I would direct it to your statement on the 13th of October where you said, 'I think it's divisive comments, or they are not what the NFL is all about. I would not want to see those kinds of comments from people who are in responsible positions within the NFL, no, absolutely not.' Now, I take you as a man of your word. But I would point out that you have a couple of owners that have performed lyrics in songs that are far more offensive. In fact, I don't think anything that Rush Limbaugh said was offensive, but with Fergie and with J. Lo, they have, between the two of them, alleged that the CIA are terrorists and liars, they've promoted sexual abuse of women, they've used the N-word, verbal pornography, recreational drug use, et cetera, and they are owners of the Dolphins,
And it is also ironic that Fergie was approved as an owner on the very day that you made your statement against Rush Limbaugh. And I would point out for the committee, the statement that Rush Limbaugh made is this -- that seems to be the one that survives the criticism, and that is: "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. McNabb got a lot of credit for the performance of the team that he really didn't deserve," close quote.
Now, I've scoured this quote to try to find something that can be implied as racism on the part of Rush Limbaugh, and I can't find it. There is an implication of racism on the part of the media. That's the only quote that seems to survive the scrutiny of chase-checking back original sources in at least nine quotes that were alleged to Rush Limbaugh. And, by the way, of those, eight are complete fabrications. They're not based on anything. They're not a misquote. They're not a distortion. They're complete fabrication. And the one that remains stands true and shines the light against the media, not against Rush Limbaugh. And so if you're concerned about this, Mr. Goodell, then I'd ask you, you know, are you prepared to level the same charges against Fergie and J. Lo, or are you prepared to apologize to Rush Limbaugh today?"

In the words of Chris Tucker, "man, it'd take all day to kiss his fat ass."
the only thing you've demonstrated here is that you are in fact a racist yet you dont know it.
Where's the Iraqi shoe thrower when you need him. Is this how this nutbag is spending taxpayers money? Defending Limbaugh?
This is the same jerk that thought that it was ok to send out kids to die in Iraq, as long as it wasn't his kids, what the scarry thought is, that our government is full of idots and racist like King, why have he not stood up and apologize to our soldiers and families that have lost their lives in the Bush and the Republicans war in Iraq, which now the oil companies are over in Iraq right now dividing it up amoung them themselves,yet he made the choice to stand up and defend a know racist like the drugster Limbaugh.
during congressional hearing...
And this is news how?
:P
Rush can get behind that-only if it's him taking the drugs recreationally...
or trying to!
El Overinflated Ego has such control of his Repuke sycophants in Congress.
Yeah, right on the senate floor. By Wellpoint Health Insurance. Their wives are hooked up as a lobbyist and their earning $500-$1,000,000 a month. How do you like that corruption? That's a conflict of interest that is PURE CORRUPTION. What do you think of that Mr.Dude King Representative? Our American senators are being criminally BRIBED and you're talkin' "flush" about rush? Dude....Bribery...Criminal conflict of interest? Why can't you pay attention?
the rest of us.
Let us know how it tastes when you're done-if you ever get done...
My laptop doesn't have much more it can take.
I got a million of 'em...
is our congress defending Rush LImbaugh? Why are they questioning the NFL about the choices of who should have ownership of any team? What does Rush have on this guy that he doesn't want Rush to tell the world about?
that the hearing was about safer helmets and trying to solve the issue of head injuries on the football field. King, I ask again, what is it that Rush has on you that could be very embarrassing?
Has King vacationed in the DR recently?
Was it King that gave Rush the viagra so Rush could keep it hard while ramming King?
our Congresscretins get? If not, I'd imagine rush could get a good supply of it and oxys smuggled inside a young Dominican's *ss...
Thanks Scarce for posting this. I heard parts of it yesterday and could not believe what I was hearing.
What did Goodell say?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe0yGi1XVfM&fe...
Rep. Steve King it was not Roger Goodell but Dave Checketts who pulled the plug on your Grandpa Limbaugh. Hey, Rep. King you go lick Rush's butthole AGAIN as you do anyway on a DAILY BASIS. How does Rush's stank feel on your lips and face? King is such an obvious Limbaugh ass-kisser himself!!!!
It was Dave Checketts who said:
"Rush was to be a limited partner--as such, he would have had no say in the direction of the club or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations....This was a role he enthusiastically embraced...However, it has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions; endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis. As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion."
Rep. Steve King - Learn how to read....It is obvious you missed the comments made by Dave Checketts.
Rep. Steve King - you are very, very pathetic!
The GOP hates government interference when Democrats want regulations that protect ordinary people. Yet when sports business has the audacity to put sanctions on racists who promote the GOP agenda, this GOP congressman is in high dudgeon! What hypocrisy. And obvious deafness to some of Rush's worst comments, to whit:
"The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weddings."
"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
"They're 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?
"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." (To an African-American caller)
"Halfrican-American" -- what Rush called Obama.
Keep it up, Congressman King. Can't wait to see what your constituents say next year, unless they are all racists like Rush.
I can't think of another more offensive group than the modern GOP who still find the time to demand what?Daily apologies from everybody else?
It's stomach churning.
"The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and Crips without any WEAPONS." -- Rush
(I was watching a TV segment about a wedding at the time. My bad.)
"...Fergie and with J. Lo, they have, between the two of them, alleged that the CIA are terrorists and liars..."
hurts, don't it Rep. Dickwad...
of the day is Rep "I'm as stupid as Trent Franks" King.
Is he sure he's not talking about boss limpbaugh?
Our tax dollars at work...
I don't know squat about Fergie or J. Lo. Maybe someone (dennis?) can enlighten me as to their self-deprecating music?
and Jennifer Lopez don't hide the fact that they have a sexuality. Because ya know, women being open about their sexuality promotes sexual abuse against ourselves, but 30 male Republican senators voting against an anti-rape amendment certainly doesn't!

Fergie?

It's the Fergie in this video...
Special dedication to Rep. King from meeee ;)

in the Miami sun...
First off, I wasn't even aware that Fergie is now one of the many celebrity owners of the Miami Dolphins.
More importantly, neither Fergie nor Jennifer Lopez are known for making the kind of statements that Comedian Rush Limbaugh has made - especially statements about certain NFL players (i.e. Donovan McNabb).
In a sport haunted by drug scandals which has mandatory testing and suspensions for even marijuana use, doesn't ADMITTED Oxycontin abuse disqualify Rush from team ownership?
I mean, a single marijuana conviction can prevent a high school student from receiving Federal student aid, yet felony possession & purchase of Rx drugs doesn't bother this Congressman?
Oh, BTW, it was Rush's own buddies in the group who through him under the bus. Obama & Sharpton had nothing to do with the decision.
Indeed, they decided that rush's money could just be sourced elsewhere. The day after the decision, I heard rush throw his buddies under the bus, claiming that the dreaded George Soros' money may be replacing his.
Sorry lush, your money can't buy you friends. Or, apparently, blacks either.
I'd sure like like to see that list. Apparently King couldn't find any others that rush has so proudly spouted off over the years?
likes to call him, "Rep. Steven King, Republican, Crazy Town." One of my favorite quotes from the drug-addled sex tourist that never made the "list" was when he said that no one wanted to be Miss Black Teen America from Idaho because she would have to introduce herself as "I-da-ho" in his best racist voice. No racism there. Right...
The Archie Bunker Party
"The CIA are terrorists and liars". According to the latest news reports just this week, the CIA are backing Afghan drug traffickers too.
GOP congressfolk really do depend upon the idiocy of their reactionary base to stay in office don't they?
If they represent the demographic of the current owners, the group of buyers that Lindburg was in is probably just as racist as him. The reason they dropped him like a hot potato is that the NFL is 70 percent African-American. Every team in the league would boycott any team he was even a minority silent partner in.
Rep. King, get this straight, Fergie and J-Lo can sing about whatever they want and own any team and every playter would want to play for them because they're hot.
The majority of the owners couldn't give a crap about their property, er, players, black or white. Those poor bbastards have something like fivve yera average carreers, and come out so shell shocked they get dementia at twenty times the rate of the general population. Do you see any owner sponsored research into better artificial turf? Better helmets?
This is the "I wasn't the only one speeding!" defense. King is the one kissing poor, persecuted Rush's cavernous, lumpy, cyst infested nasty fat ass.
f**k all to do with Rush in the first place?
King is the King of the Idiots.
*turns up Fergie and J. Lo on iTunes*
Oh, and leave it to King to drag two women of color (Fergie is mixed) into this to clear his favorite racist's very sullied name...
You have an outstanding product.
As of late you have had a great working relation with the players union.
The NFL is a BIG fan favorite even in viewer markets that will never have a football team(Iowa).
Revenue sharing has helped small market teams(Green Bay,Kansas City), compete on par with large market goliaths.
Congratulations to the NFL, from top to bottom you rock!
Rush Limbaugh is responsible for his own big mouth. He thinks that there should be no responsibility on his part for what he says? PHHHFT!
Rep. King wanted Mr. Goodell to apologize to Limbaugh?
Hey King, if you are from IOWA you owe the world an apology.
Idiots
Owing the
World an
Apology
There are a lot of really good, smart folks in Iowa. Please don't call all of them idiots just because some of them elected this total dolt.
They are known as
Idiots

Around
*snark*
For the remote chance that there is someone, anyone who thought that I was personally disparaging the good folks of Iowa, the two IOWA acronyms were created by Iowans for Iowans who enjoy poking fun at themselves. Sort of similar to Norwegian Farmers in Minnesota telling Ollie jokes, or Indianans telling Hoosier jokes, or New Jersey.........ugh, don't get me started on New Jersey......
for those who believe that the acronym is entirely without merit, I offer for your edification:
Senator Charles Grassley R-Idiots Owing the World an Apology
April 3, 2009
Becomes third state to allow same-sex couples to wed
Checking the staff directory of the Dolphins reveals the following:
Chairman of the Board/Managing General Partner: Stephen Ross
Vice Chair/Partner: Jorge Ross
Vice Chair: Don Shula
Partners:
H. Wayne Huizenga
Marc Anthony
Gloria Estefan
Emilio Estefan
Serena Williams
Venus Williams
So unless Rep King is about insult us by saying he doesn't know Gloria Estefan from J.Lo and (I guess) Marc Anthony from Fergie (I don't believe even HE could screw up mistaken Venus and/or Serena for Fergie...), he owes Goodell an apology.
owes Fergie and Jennifer Lopez apologies too. The closest he even comes to the truth is that J. Lo is married to Marc Anthony, but that's not the same as her owning a share of the team. And Fergie wasn't involved at all.
What an idiot the King of the Idiots is...
was rather recent. Maybe it hasn't made it to the staff directory yet?
Then again, all brown-skinned Miamians are Cubans (and "the same") to someone like King.
maybe i dont understand... but what is rep king defending rush limbaugh for?
decision to not allow Rush to buy the St. Louis Rams was slanderous because Rush is "not a racist," and King claims that Fergie and Jennifer Lopez are "real" racists, and if I take it to its logical conclusion, the NFL is being racist against Rush by rejecting him in favor of Fergie and J. Lo....
J. Lo never dated a white guy, and have you ever seen Fergie around people of colour? Racists the both of them!
I'll put an [/snark] in for the snark-impaired...
Because Rush is party leader. And you should see the spit shine Michael Steele does on his shoes.
Where do these people come from??? Oh well, watching Game 2 here, drinking some Sam Adam's Winter Lager. Oh, John? Go PHILLIES!!! Woo hoo!!!!
I can only afford tap water today...
that phillies/ny thing has GOT to burn...
I agree, GO PHILLIES!
I'd like to ask King "Is this what the People pay you to do? Act as the guardian of Rush Limbaugh's feelings?"
to knob limpball's flaccid pecker.
there that Jennifer Lopez definitely is not a limited partner for the Miami Dolphins, only her husband is, and Fergie's not official yet, she's just been pre-approved.
Still, either one of these ladies is a much, much better choice than Rush.
And now that I think of it, if King wants to accuse people of promoting misogyny, he would do well to look at the things Rush has said.
I'm a target archer and belong to a web forum of archers and bowhunters that discuss shooting technique. They've recently added a political section where all the idiot conservatives run their mouth(who knew so many hunters were inbred idiots?). They started a thread defending Rush and then got into all the problems with the blacks today. Please forgive a long post, but I'll post the last of many offensive offerings and then my final, of many eviscerations. I'll never be back to this site, but would like to know I destroyed them sufficiently. I would just post the link, but you can only read a few pages before you have to register.
We have a racists president! We have a racists president that played the race card on a police department after he admitted that he didn't know the facts!
Do I even need to post anything about our militant first lady!
We have hoards of blacks standing in line in Detroit to get 'Obama Money' and they are too damn stupid to know where it comes from! Not only do they not know where it came from, they don't care where it came from as long as it's 'free money'!
We have black rappers talking about painting the White House black!
We have Kanye West jumping on stage and snatching a microphone out of the hands of Taylor Swift.
We have Jesse Hi-Jackson and Al Sharptounge running around calling others racists when those two are a couple of the biggest racists in the country.
We had a black self described commie in the white house!
We had a white kid get the crap kicked out of him on a school bus by two blacks and the police initially said it was racially motivated.........then they changed their minds!
We had 98% of blacks in this country vote for hope and change knowing that the change is coming out of my pockets!
We had (black) Peggy Joseph of youtube fame saying she don't have to worry about paying for her gas and her mortage anymore because "if I help Obama, he'll help me"!
I could go on and on and on and you get the point. So yeah, I am fed up with most things black nowadays.
[This is a quote from the archery site, right? Sitemonitor]
If so, you might consider it, for your protection.

The problem with blacks is people like you that keep on making excuses for them not carrying their fair share of the load in this country. If you want, I will dig up the stats that prove that the black family as a whole was a hellava lot better off 50 years ago than they are today.
Go ahead and do your cherry-picking to prove that blacks in 1959, while still under jim crow, had it better than now. What proves to me that almost none of you here have a reasonable ability to discuss race in a fair way is that you defend Rush Limbaugh and deny he is a race baiter. This is a man held in almost universal disgust by everyone but his dittohead audience that are basically lost causes when it comes to cognitive consonance. It's been said in paraphrase by many here 'hey, we're just trying to discuss a problem of today'. If, given the recent history of this country, you think you can publicly discuss an unchosen, deeply personal part of a person's being like race, a characteristic that has caused innumerable murders here within the memory of extant generations, in the manner you have, the way you'd discuss the bad points of the next town's football team, and in sweeping generalizations, you are damn fools. I shouldn't be surprised. The posts here related to sexual orientation are littered with derogatory statements like homo and queer, which aren't deleted by you pious follower's of Christ.
sounds like a great group of guys.

snip - The left can't stand God, Jesus, the Bible, marriage between a man and a woman, anti-abortion, family, and country. They hate people like me because we try to live by God's laws and principles. When someone tries to live by God's laws the left will find anything they can to take people like me down. God's laws? What about the U.S. Constitution!
No wonder these virtuous (R)/theocrats like... Steve King U.S. Representative, Iowa’s 5th District and his like minded fellowship usurped "E pluribus unum" found in 1776 on the Seal of the United States and masked it with "In God We Trust" in 1956, after all, their sky daddy was all about unity... Luke 19:27
He also tells the guy he's going to bring him back to answer his question about LimpBalls. What a piece of work this guy is.
Does he know Michelle Bachmann has the hots for him? Or that she talks about him while she's naked?

{ My apologies. We actually get those from time to time. Different SiteMonitor}
someone needs to inform king that the vast majority of nfl owners are themselves repukes and that many of the players end up voting repuke and supporting repuke candidates
this is what happens to a befuddled ***** who spends his days giving bj's to a big fat drug addict
Fuck you Steve King. You butt boy for Rush Limbaugh.
flaccid cock in his mouth? amazing.
Right?
People think that racism is in the past or that we no longer should dwell on them in the present.
I notice that Rush picks on 2 group of people, and condescend toward people of color and feminist women. Sounds kind of insecure to me that Rush have to go after a person color and sexual gender to attack.
Forget the movie "Roots" because it only gloss at the injustice to the blacks in being treated as slaves.
In the movie you saw young mature blacks being sold as slaves. What you didn't see that most of the blacks that came over on the slave ship were children and majority of them were raise in Cuba to be sold later in season to the USA. The children had wooden cork up their anus to keep from defecating in the ship for the long trip. Children were pack because of spaces and they were easier to control. Even after the selling of slaves were outlaw, there were still people willing to buy them smuggle in, and then you had faster smaller ships as smuggler ship of slaves. If they thought they were going to caught by authority, they would dump live cargo of children all attach together by a chain overboard.
We've all heard about the effect of shell shock soldier coming back from the war and how it effect the family, and the following rate of home abuse behavior going up after a major war. Now think about how much this could effect the children at a young age throughout their lives, several wars worth, battling the abuse of slavery, and how long it would take to unravel the damages to their people on the slave ship. Several generation of this abuse, and yet Rush thinks that something this large should be gone by now?
Yes, I think it's getting better with time, but bringing back the abuse even slightly to what it use to be is just carrying the hate along a little further. Rush just plain taunting the people of color for all it's worth.
There is a movie called "Traces of the Trade" that is base on my great great grandparents, that were the largest importer of slaves in America, the Dewolf family. Lot of research went into this to uncover more dark secrets of the trade industry of slave trafficking.
I think Roots was safe for the common household family to watch, the stuff that DeWolf uncover is shockingly unthinkable of what pass for human behavior, if not down right social pathic inhumane.
DUH! Late this FAT PIG go, whi;le you are at it please admit that you suck his little wee wee when alone and you are willing to do it public to prove your man love is real, you moron.
The ownership group still has to approve her.
If Rush had brought more money to the table, it wouldn't be an issue. J Lo and Fergie being minor owners of a NFL team, won't make too many storylines when sportswriters are covering the games.
However, a divisive character like Rush. Yeah, he's going to draw too much attention away from the NFL and the game itself. And quite frankly, the NFL and Rush really can't be in the same room together. They tried that once already.
looks dumber and dumber everytime they open their pie-hole!
Rep King, you lie with dogs you smell like dogs and you just proved that this holds true for 'pigs' also!
Damn, this idiot opened his mouth and the word "no" didn't come out?
"...because I need a break from doing it."
Has anyone else noticed how anally fixated so many GOP politicians and pundits seem to be: from Lush Rambo's continual references to his having to bend over and take it up the end hole to Chris Wallace's Freuduan "enema" slip during a recent Faux Noise Sunday show. In the words of Tucker Carlson, I'll see you in the park, and bring along Larry Craig.
These clowns tried to defend Roger Clemens also. They demeaned and harassed a former trainer who accused the lying Clemens of steroid use. As it turns out later, Clemens lied to Congress about not being at a party at Jose Conseco's place. So what happens: A picture turns-up showing on that date, at Conseco's house. Right-wingers are slime.
