The Looney Left Report
The Left can't debate on substance on anything, so they have to resort to slander.
When word came out that talk show host Rush Limbaugh is seeking ownership of the St. Louis Rams, the Sharp Knives of Slanderville came at him.
According to the Associated Press:
BOSTON (AP) -- Talk show host Rush Limbaugh, whose bid to buy the St. Louis Rams has run into opposition within the NFL, says he's a victim of "totally made-up and fabricated quotes" attributed to him.
In an e-mail to The Associated Press, the conservative commentator calls reports about him "outrageous and slanderous." He notes he would be a minority owner in the prospective group, and adds that he is from Missouri and was saddened when the Cardinals left for Arizona. Limbaugh declared that he loves the National Football League.
Earlier today, Colts owner Jim Irsay vowed to vote against Limbaugh. League commissioner Roger Goodell said NFL insiders would not tolerate what he called "divisive" statements.
Several people were cited by Rush as spreading the fabricated quotes: Jesse Jackson; Al Sharpton; Chris Matthews; David Shuster; Dave Zirin from TheNation.com; Drew Sharp of ESPN; Rick Sanchez; Tamron Hall; James Carville; and "Mercury" Morris, former player for the Miami Dolphins.

The outcry against Limbaugh's minority ownership makes no sense whatsoever--except within the context of (attempted) character assassination.
Anyway, since when do you have to lean left in order to own (even partially) an NFL franchise? Would that group not overwhelmingly favor capatalism?
All I can say is "wow."
