Rush makes a comment about the "Media starving for a black QB to do well"....
So where was the outrage when Elton John declares on Letterman "If I had 6 months to live, I'd get a machine gun and hunt down the Papperatzi(sp)"
So, wheres the outrage on that comment?
Oh! Double standards..he's gay. He's forgiven. ;)

Thats nothing... have you heard the Cub's Baker's comments? Youll find them on Bimmerforums.com in the off topic forum, Rip... with a side a Black Panther propaganda... thuroughly roasted by yours truely, of course. :cool:

If they would both stop popping pills they might stop saying stupid things.

"... hunt down the Papperatzi"
He should have said BLACK papparatizi. To want to gundown simply "papperatzi" isn't outrageuous as it fails to sinlge out any specific gender, religioun or race.
Here. To show you what I mean take whatshisname's intitial statement, ""Media starving for a black QB to do well" and simnply remove the racial slant and you have ""Media starving for a QB to do well".
It becomes totally innocuous and un-noteworthy.
Not like what he has to say is noteworthy anyway so perhaps he deliberately said "black" to garner attention for himself.

It's Elton freaking John dude. He's a drug-addicted has-been poof. Nobody gives a crap what he says.
-
"If I had 6 months to live, I'd get a machine gun and hunt down the Papperatzi(sp)"
the difference is that he's pissed based on the persons behavior, not race, religion, sex,.........
I supose it could be said that it's not very cool to say anybody should be hunted down and killed but thats, what we do with terrorists, murderers, and what we ought to do with kiddie rapers (oops, now I've done it too).

Maryland's First Lady Rues Spears Remark
Wed Oct 8, 7:44 AM ET
ANNAPOLIS, Maryland (Reuters) - Maryland's first lady was only joking when she said she would like to shoot pop star Britney Spears (news), but on Tuesday it was no longer a laughing matter.
Kendel Ehrlich, wife of the state's Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich, had been criticizing what she views as the entertainment industry's negative influence on youth, during a domestic violence prevention conference last week in the city of Frederick.
"Really, if I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would," Ehrlich laughingly told the audience, accusing the 21-year-old Grammy Award-nominated singer of exaggerating the importance of sex for young girls.

Funny thing is, that is an old term, my parents used to use that term as in "Oooh, that Brian! I'd like to shoot him!" against their own kids. Nowadays, everyone is so fuccking PC and literal.
But whether or not Rush hit the nail on the head regarding the Medias need for a successful black QB (A true statement, just look at what a black player did for golf? It propelled it up in the ratings), they'll roast him because its outside the "whats allowed PC-wise" circle.
-
I'd shoot britney spears too if I could. Nude, on the beach, with my 35mm SLR, at sunset...tiki torches....yeah, that would do it! ;)
-
Elton John? Who cares...he's a freak
He wants to shoot that naggy-press? Hmm, might finally like something he says.
Perhaps ole Rippy-poo can give Elty some gun training...hehe...who knows Rip, he might help your wardrobe out some like those 5 Queer guys we all wanna send your way!

Who? Rush or Elton said that?

I am outraged that anyone would spend $24,000 a month on cut flowers. I know it's his money and all, but....sheesh.

Trouble with Rush's statement was that it was a bogus reach for a story. "The Media" is who exactly? And there have been many successful black quarterbacks.... he was just trying to be controversial and it bit him in the ascot.

I disagree, I think he was being honest. I present you Tiger Woods as an example. Good for business. The "Twins" in tennis...good for business.
-
Tiger Woods... the first great Black golfer. No question there.
The Williams Sisters (not twins) - Good for business? I think things were going better for Woman's Tennis back when Chrissy Evertt was queen.
Great Black QB? - Doug Williams? didn't exactly light people's fires. Slash, er Cordell? Nope. Michael Vic... maybe if he stays healthy. Trouble with your Tiger analogy is that he is the greatest of all time. Any QB, black or white to dominate football like Tiger does golf would be richer than god. In other words, his race is secondary.
-
I believe what Rush was referring to was a "Joe Montana" QB. One hasn't surfaced yet, although the media has been eager to prematurely paste that title on to the aforementioned QB's. Like I said, the Media took it as a racism question not because of the comment itself, but because of the source of the comment.

Dennis Miller and Elton John trade insults:
"I would call the French scumbags but that would be a disservice to bags filled with scum..."
Dennis Miller at Andre Agassi's Grand Slam charity event for Children
At a children's charity event, this tard goes for a tacky political swipe.
Elton John, replied:
"When people say, `Why do they hate us so much?
Why do they hate us so much?'..........Dennis Miller."

Sorry but Tiger is not the greatest of all time. Have you even watched some of the seniors throughout their careers?

Yes and Nicklaus is the only one that may have an argument with my conclusion.
