"Rush The Media Hates Rex Grossman Because He Is White"

I didn't know whether to post this here or on the Journal so I'll post it on both.

On the February 5 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh, responding to media coverage of Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman, stated "they're dumping on this guy -- Rex Grossman -- for one reason, folks, and that's because he is a white quarterback." Limbaugh later insisted in conversation with a caller that, "they just want this guy not to do well 'cause he's a white quarterback," and that Grossman was "targeted for destruction." The Bears lost to the Indianapolis Colts 29-17 in Super Bowl XLI.

Democratic Underground's top 10 Conservative idiots says...
Limbaugh is right, of course. Grossman was only castigated for his error-prone play because he is white. The much-praised Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, on the other hand, was unjustly lauded for his performance merely because he is black. It's a crying shame.
