MC Limbaugh

"Fearless" Rush is obviously back on the dope. Courtesy of Media Matters, here's the big blowhard explaining what went down between the Pistons and the Pacers the other night:

LIMBAUGH: "You look at NBA players and the uniforms, you don't have to go back very far. The uniforms have changed totally. They're now in gang colors. They are in gang styles...This is the hip-hop culture on parade. This is gang behavior on parade minus the guns. That's the culture that the NBA has become. So if anybody will be honest with you about it in the NBA, and a very few will have the courage to, because saying what I just said is going to be tagged as racist, but I, my friends, am fearless when it comes to this because the truth will out, and that's what's happening here, and part and parcel of this gang culture, this hip-hop culture, is: 'I'm not going to tolerate being dissed.'"

CALLER: "This is not a new thing with the Piston fans."

LIMBAUGH: "I know. That's why I say call it 'New Fallujah, Michigan.'"

I'm not sure why Rush would think anyone would tag him as a racist:

"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well,'' Limbaugh said. "There is a little hope invested in (Donavan) McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." (source: 10/02/03, ESPN.com)

In Rush's defense, I'd like to present some other examples of hip-hop culture taking over our beloved national pastimes:
