The outrage isn’t that Limbaugh won’t own a piece of the St. Louis Rams. The outrage is the lies and slander that have been bandied about with no basis in fact simply because it fits a media template – namely, that conservatives are racist.
If they said, “Rush is a bit bombastic and we think it would be a distraction from football,” then there would be no cause to complain. But they didn’t say that. They said the man was a racist and an advocate for slavery, which is a lie. They created a division, and then complained that Limbaugh is divisive. And in the process they have reinforced the stereotype of conservatives as racists.
It is sad when lies succeed and the truth does not. It is outrageous that these race-baiting bigots in the sports media managed to successfully slander a man.
