Rightwing Blogger: Non-White People Just "Don't Get It" (Super Bowl Edition)

I'm confused. When Rush Limbaugh attacked Donovan McNabb for being an "overrated black quarterback", the issue of race was fair game, now that both Super Bowl Teams will be led by black coaches, we shouldn't make note of it?

That's the gist of it from Human Events' Vincent Fiore

What’s wrong with just trumpeting the marvelous efforts by both coaches?  Are they not Americans first, and black second?  Why does this concept seem not only foreign to the media, but to so many of these "minority" groups themselves?

Ahh... so it's okay for Rush to attack McNabb on the basis of his skin color or most recently, this:

Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

But it's not okay to celebrate a tiny milestone of sorts.

To dig himself further in a hole, Fiore fires off this missive:

That’s fine for most of us, but a good plurality of people don’t get it, and the plurality I speak of is practically everyone outside the demographic of white males, ages one to 100.

As King Kaufman of salon.com snarkly observed:

Right. Only white guys get it. Thanks for proving that racism is dead there, Mr. Fiore.
