Sammy in Fayetteville, North Carolina, hi, and welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, how you doing, buddy?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Good, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Look, I\u2019m confused about something here. You said something Friday, and I don\u2019t want to make you mad about this but I want to ask you if you can tell me on the quote about McNabb isn\u2019t a great quarterback and the media do overrate him because he\u2019s black. That was a quote from somebody, and I don\u2019t know who — I had an argument with somebody here to work about it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re having an argument with somebody at work over what I said about McNabb?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, well, you were quoting somebody about it, and it got all blown out of proportion.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know what your argument\u2019s about, but here\u2019s what happened.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s the ESPN pregame show. It\u2019s week five of the NFL season. McNabb is not performing well. Everybody\u2019s wondering what\u2019s wrong. In the production meeting prior to the Sunday show I learned they\u2019re going to be discussing what\u2019s wrong with McNabb and what\u2019s wrong with Eagles. It\u2019s going to be two different segments of the show. So I\u2019m listening to these guys, and my job is to object as a fan if I hear something I disagree with. So they\u2019re going on and on and they\u2019re talking about it, and I said, ‘Wait a minute, you guys, I think the problem here is that the defense is not getting enough credit for the Eagles\u2019 performance. The defense are carrying the team. McNabb, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s playing that well. I think McNabb is a little overrated because the media, very socially conscious, the NFL is very socially conscious, they want the black quarterback to do well. I think the media\u2019s got a little prejudice in that regard,\u2019 and all hell broke loose two days later. Nothing happened that day or the next day, but two days later all hell broke loose. So really all I said about McNabb was that I thought he was overrated. What I said about the media was that I think they, as a bunch of social liberal do-gooders, are still interested in a black quarterback doing well, and so they\u2019re willing to overlook the fact that he might not be as good as they want him to be, and, therefore, when they\u2019re wondering what\u2019s wrong and why they\u2019re tearing their hair out, the answer is right in front of their face. That\u2019s what it was. It was a comment primarily about the media.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Okay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, that\u2019s from the source. I am the source authority on this. You can take that to wherever you\u2019re having the argument. But I guarantee you whoever you\u2019re having the argument with is not properly informed. Here\u2019s the exact quote for you. ‘Sorry to say this, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s been that good from the get-go. I think what we\u2019ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous a black quarterback do well. There\u2019s a lot of hope invested in McNabb. He got a lot of credit for the performance of the team that he didn\u2019t deserve, the defense carried \u2019em.\u2019 Bam, that\u2019s what it was, and you would have thought, you would have thought that J. William Fulbright was back filibustering the Civil Rights Act by the way these people reacted to it. That\u2019s all it was. It\u2019s seven years ago and they\u2019re still quoting it and talking about it in most stories about McNabb. So there. You tell \u2019em that at wherever you\u2019re working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
