NEW YORK (Reuters) - Controversial conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group trying to buy the St. Louis Rams after several black NFL players objected and the league commissioner weighed in against Limbaugh's "divisive comments."

"It has become clear that his (Limbaugh's) involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions," said SPC Worldwide Chairman Dave Checketts, who is leading the bid to buy the National Football League team and keep it in St. Louis.

"We have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion," Checketts said in an emailed statement.

Today, Limbaugh tried to strike back by attacking Rick Sanchez, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Sheila Jackson Lee but it didn't help. His little buddy, hunchback Mark Levin, attacked the same four people on his show.

I'm delighted that the "free market" provided a little feedback to Rush about his racially divisive comments and I really enjoy the irony of wingers debunking some of the false claims made about Fats, something they didn't bother to do about John Kerry and Michael Schiavo.

This is also a little more evidence that the radio gasbags are nowhere near as popular as their zombie listeners love to think.
