Were you feeling a bit balding, fat, hard-of-hearing and Oxycontin-addled last night?
Sometime last evening did you feel racist, misogynistic, homophobic and sickeningly conservative?
Well, there’s a reason for that. According to tsquare over at Red State, last night, we were all Rush Limbaugh. Seriously. The title of his essay was “Tonight… We Are All Rush Limbaugh”.
It turns out that denying Rush in his attempt to be part of a group intending to purchase the St. Louis Rams is equivalent to a combination of minorities being denied civil rights, millions of people being exterminated by the Nazis and downtrodden people all over the planet be kept from the most basic human right to pursue their dreams.
Earlier this evening, as most of you now know, one of our own, Rush Hudson Limbaugh, while taking withering fire, crashed and burned.
Tonight, Rush is no longer ‘just’ a radio personality.
Tonight, Rush is no longer ‘just’ a NFL owner denied
Tonight, Rush is us. And we are him.Tonight Rush became the metaphor for all of us… every man woman and child in this great nation of ours.
Wait. His middle name is Hudson?
Here’s the essay in its entirety. I won’t, of course, link to Red State [shudder…]

The enemy of this great nation, the enemy of you and me, Rush’s enemy… those on the left, inside and outside of this nation abhor success… and when faced with it will destroy it… by any and all means possible.
We all have our dreams in life… such as they might be. Rush dreamed of being an owner in the NFL.
Tonight the left proved that they will stop at nothing to end our dreams. Our dreams of success and happiness devastate their need to dominate and control you and me… and well everything and everyone.
Chrysler bondholders
GM dealers
Bankers and stockbrokers
Small business owners
Medical Doctors
Oppressed people wanting freedom around the worldThe left can not and will not allow anyone to realize their dreams
Tonight a light went out… a dream died… it died from political correctness
Tonight we are under withering fire, we on the right those in the middle,
Tonight our values are under withering fire, those thoughts ideas and dreams that made this great nation are under withering fire
Will your light of your dreams be next?
Will my dreams be next?
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.– Pastor Martin Niemöller
Tonight… We Are All Rush Limbaugh
Yes, that’s right. The rights of every freedom-loving earthling are now in jeopardy because a fat, racist radio show personality has been denied his life-long dream to own a professional sports team. And the bankers and stockbrokers. Oh, Lord in heaven above, who will save the BANKERS AND STOCKBROKERS???!
Who, I ask you, will save us from the liberals who want to snuff out the light that burns inside every person when “the left can not and will not allow anyone to realize their dreams”???
But, whoa, whoa whoa. Wait just a second. When they came for socialists, communists and trade unionists, weren’t the Dittoheads and Red Staters cheering? No, seriously, dude, YOU GUYS were the ones that came for those groups!
[head asplodes from hypocrisy overload…]
The seriousness of this post was actually questioned by some of the Red Staters themselves but that was quickly squelched and it quickly became apparent that it was NOT a joke. The comments are actually worth a read for the pure comedy they contain. Here’s a couple of the funnier ones:
JadedByPolitics:
NO this isn’t a joke! Rush has NEVER said anything racist….
the left LIED and they LIED all over the news thereby creating a condition that the NFL could not tolerate but the bottom line is THEY LIED! They must PAY and WE are the one’s who will be next if Rush and WE do not make them suffer over this abomination.
Deskpilot has a solution:
If you don’t already have tickets, pull an Al Sharpton and boycott NFL EVERYTHING for the weekend.
No TV, No ESPN, No Olberdork.Soak up all the NCAA you can on Saturday
On Sunday, Enjoy your family, clean the gutters, put a nice trim on the yard instead of a hurried mow.
I love that they are for an all-out boycott …err… unless you already have tickets and stuff.
But the best commentary of all is, of course, over at Wonkette
In fact, I think the way to end this diary is with a quote from artpepper:
When a drug-addled racist can’t purchase an NFL team, the terrorists have won.
I’m just sayin’…
