New GOP Site Launches to Negative Reviews

there is a price to pay when you keep spreading right wing insanity and hate.

Commissioner Roger Goodell cast doubt on Rush Limbaugh’s viability as an N.F.L. owner Tuesday, saying that “divisive comments are not what the N.F.L. is all about.”

“I’ve said many times before, we’re all held to a high standard here,” Goodell said. Then he continued: “I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL –- absolutely not.”

Goodell emphasized that the Rosenbloom family, which owns the St. Louis Rams, is not even fully committed to sell its majority stake in the team and that they were extremely early in the process. Limbaugh has teamed with the former Madison Square Garden executive Dave Checketts in a bid for the Rams. But Goodell’s comments were a thinly veiled signal that Limbaugh’s bid –- even if it were the highest –- would most likely not receive support from owners, who must approve any change in ownership.

Retired and current players have voiced concern about Limbaugh’s interest in the Rams, with some saying players would not play for him. One of Limbaugh’s most controversial quotes was his suggestion that Donovan McNabb got credit for the Eagles’ successes because the news media wanted him to succeed because he is a black quarterback.

“The comments Rush made specifically about Donovan, I disagree with very strongly,” Goodell said. “It’s a polarizing comment that we don’t think reflect accurately on the N.F.L. or our players. I obviously do not believe those comments are positive and they are divisive. That’s a negative thing for us, obviously.”

Goodell’s comments are a strong indicator that Limbaugh’s bid is unlikely even to be considered by owners. Three-quarters of the 32 owners must approve a sale, meaning only nine of them can scuttle a deal. Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, made clear he would vote against Limbaugh.

“I myself couldn’t be in favor of voting for him,” Irsay said. “I’m very sensitive to know there are scars out there. Our words do damage. It’s something we don’t need.”

JACKIE ROBINSON was NOT a REPUBLICAN.


BUT DICK CHEENY is.

Chris: I have met many,many, more racist Dems, than Republicans. (most were Black.) That being said, I believe the web site would have been condemned by Sessions if it was an academy award winner.
Attention Democrats: You didn't win the last election from Conservatives. You won it because no conservative ran. It was a cake walk. Don't try so hard to dis The Republican Party. They have done a great job of implosion all by themselves. If you keep up the reckless, meaningless, relentless, attack on the opposition...it could back-fire. The Republican party could conceivably find the values it lost, and offer up a viable candidate worth voting for. I won't hold my breath, but it could happen.

I think instead of the smiley face young white girl they have pictured, they should picture that girl who worked for the McCain campaign who slashed her own face, wrote "Obama" on it and said she was mugged by a black guy which the police found out, of course, was a lie. Now THERE'S the face of the new GOP !!!

PLEASE DONT GET IT TWISTED.

Any black, latino, jew, musslim,gay, or WOMAN who is a REPUBLICAN, is FOR TWO REASONS only:

Make millions off their dopey supporters,

or a fool.
Its a legal hustle, i cant knock the hustle, the fools on the other hand always need to get woke up.
IF your a person of color, latino, gay, a woman, jew or muslim, you are VOTING AGAINST YOUR own best interest if you vote REPUBLICAN, back on the farm, they HATE you!

Care to explain then why all those racist Southern Dems switched to the GOP after the Civil Rights Acts were signed? Care to explain why the KKK, Aryan Nation, White Supremacists ALL vote Republican? Why David Duke can for a GOP seat?

gnemalie BELIEVE IN the abilities of all people, No you really don't, you believe in the abilities of large corporations and think that one day you too will be one of the elite and you don't want the government to enslave Americans because that would mean less to be enslaved by companies to make rich white men richer. And as long as a person has the abilities to keep making big corporations richer then the Republican party will keep throwing them a bone. And as soon as they are used up and can't make white men richer then the Republicans want to forget about them call them names. The Republicans are of the rich, for the rich by the rich. But one day they will get what they have earned.

Odd, the actual history of the Republican party, in regard to race, is that we, unlike the Democratic party, BELIEVE IN the abilities of all people REGARDLESS of their race. We are, in fact, the party that freed slaves, and in modern times work to make all people believe they should not be a slave to the gov't and gov't power... Sorry gnemalie, but the civil war was an economic war not about slave's freedom even though that is the feel good story we get in our history books. Lincoln owned slaves as did people for and against it. If you would look at how so many yellow dog Dems became Repubs during the 60's, you would understand why so many blacks in the 45 and older group will generally not join the GOP.
Yes, some of those segregationist remained in the Dem party but a large group joined the "No to civil rights for all" GOP. Living on Lincoln is not the only history to be considered.
You want to point to some KKK members that were republican? You have a Democratic senator that was a member of the KKK, too (in other words, both parties have their idiots). You want to bring up Republicans who oppose illegal immigrants? Not only are there a number of Dems who also oppose it, there is a little thing called the rule of law, thus the term ILLEGAL. Just because most illegals happen to have brown skin, don't assume that we'd be just as against Europeans coming into the states illegally. The ONLY reason there aren't more black Republicans is because they've been brainwashed into thinking the Dems are on their side, when in fact, most blacks share conservative values, socially and fiscally. Same with Hispanics. And gradually, more and more of them are waking up to the reality... Why do you think people are brainwashed on the one hand and you are not on the other? You demonize a whole segment of the population because they do no think as you and then you wonder why those same people don't join the party of your choice. When was the last time your intelligence was questioned and you embraced the person who questioned it?

I don't think either party has the upper hand when it comes to representing all of a race of people. Many people have some conservative and liberal views about different matters. Fiscal responsibility is a priority, but so is the Christian value to assist others, regardless of their transgression. The values you mention exist in both parties the same as personal downfall (Clinton, Sandford(?), Limbaugh, Maddow, Beck, Stewart, etc.)
OK, so the GOP site was half baked as far as having all the content up and being ready to go live. But do NOT criticize the GOP for touting the fact that there ARE Hispanics and blacks in the party. Why shouldn't they refute the Dems' claims that they are against people of color, when HISTORY and current platform proves quite the opposite?
The GOP should refute it by showing action that support the words. And I might add the treatment of Steel does not show that. The man has been relegated to making inane statements that most people laugh about.
The story was really about the not ready for primetime website. And it was NOT ready!
