Mercury Morris: Rush Limbaugh Is "A Bigot, Not A Racist"

Former Miami Dolphins player Eugene "Mercury" Morris comments on the possibility of Rush Limbaugh owning the St. Louis Rams, despite the fact that some NFL players have said they would not play for the Rams at that point, because they perceive Limbaugh is a racist.

"I don't see him as much as a racist," Morris told CNN's Rick Sanchez. "I see him more as a bigot... who, regardless of the facts and evidence in front of them, they still go their own way."

The running back from the undefeated 1972 Dolphins team added that Limbaugh deserves an opportunity to buy the team. "I would be more apt to say, if you want to won a team, go out there and see what it's really like to be in the trenches with these guys now."

Remember the three (non-racist) "little monkey" comments made by Cosell? Who was #2 about??

#1. "That little monkey. The theory was that he was too small for pro football." - 08/29/1972 Chiefs @ Giants preseason HOF game (re: Mike Adamle - white guy)

#2. "Look at that little monkey run!" (re: an unknown player, white or black? game, punt/kickoff return?) MERCURY MORRIS???

#3. "That little monkey gets loose doesn't he." - 09/05/1983 Dallas @ Washington (re: Alvin Garrett - black guy)

@ThadeoftheNorse

It's true-- you deny Rush is a bigot, because YOU are just as bigoted.

LIke when he said that "a gay gene-test for unborn children would cause women to get abortions if it came up positive, just like if she found out her kid was gonna be born BLACK."

That's a white hood right there-- AND a swastika.

@ThadeoftheNorse

You're simply as racist as he is.

Limbaugh owning a football-team is like Adolph Hitler owning a Kosher deli.

[SovereignStatesman]

Limbaugh is a definite bigot, but he hides it well in a way that appeals to the prejudices of his audience; so of course they all DENY it, because they're just as prejudiced as HE is.

So he's not only a bigot and a racist, he's a HYPOCRITE; ironically, an ADMITTED racist is better because they're honest.

Limbaugh is obviously protesting too much to believe the protesting; he's DELIBERATELY catering to right-wing bigotry that he doesn't even believe-- I'm sure it's the DRUGS talking.

World English Dictionary

bigot (ˈbɪɡət) — n a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race

Limbaugh fits that definition to a T-- so he's both a racist AND a bigot.
