Obviously our basketball team did that, you know, with the Bullets being changed to the Wizards.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: Did you know the basketball team in Washington used to be called the Bullets? They said that was offensive, so they changed it to the Wizards. Honestly! There\u2019s the mayor saying, &#8220;Yeah, we gotta get rid of Redskins.&#8221; They\u2019re on the warpath now, no pun intended. That\u2019s&#8230; Oh, gee. I don\u2019t know. It wasn\u2019t anybody was offended by the Bullets. It was that Bullets conjured up negative images that encouraged kids to like bullets. So went the thinking. <\/line><BR\/>By the way, this thing about Obama and usurping the Constitution? <\/line><\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They used to be the Washington Bullets, and the term &#8220;bullets&#8221; was deemed&#8230; I don\u2019t know that it was offensive. I\u2019m not aware that anybody in the Washington area said they were offended by it. Somebody said, &#8220;You know what? Bullets? We don\u2019t need kids wanting to be bullets. Kids emulate athletes. We don\u2019t want kids cheering bullets. We don\u2019t want bullets to become the ammo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So they changed it to Wizards. Doesn\u2019t the Ku Klux Klan have wizards? I know they\u2019ve got grand cyclopses and they have kleagles. Sheets Byrd, the late senator from West Virginia was a kleagle I think. Or maybe he was a grand cyclops. Maybe you have to be a kleagle before you were a cyclops or vice-versa, who knows? But I know that they got wizards and grand wizards at the KKK.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if they thought of that when they changed the name from the Bullets to the Wizards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The mayor of Washington, DC, picked up on Courtland Milloy\u2019s piece in the Washington Post yesterday.
