Does he have a personal history of supporting racial equality? Does he give money to black colleges? speak out for racial equality? I'm not saying he is a racist but it is glib to say he is not. What he did was "play the race card" if you will. He knew he would provoke this response. At best this was cynical at worst it was racist. The PC remark is as much a knee jerk conservative response as the PC crowd. One can criticize Rush or anyone else without being PC. By the way welcome back. I think you are right about Pedro. He is the greatest pitcher in the history of the game. He has such good control that he can hit Garcia on the back at will. He can pitch so well in a key game without losing his cool and his sign language skills are outstanding. He was so nice to point out that Jorge Posada had a fleck of dirt on his head in the 4th inning. No need to apologize for his actions. The Yankees would be fortunate to face him in game 7 given his success against the team in the past few years _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
