It's easy to take sides in the Rush Limbaugh debate simply based on your political persuasion. However, he can be such an ASS that I find it hard to believe he maintains a national show.

Latest example (wish I had the link) is dealing with the soldiers that were tortured and killed. An avid Limbaugh fan emailed asking Rush if he thought the Liberals were happy about the recent killings. Of course, Rush said that Liberals are happy about the killings and that they are bidding "good riddance" to the deceased soldiers.

How can anyone with an IQ over 78 listen to this guy? If you only listen to 5 minutes a day on a ride to work, you might not get to hear some of his finer points (tongue planted firmly in cheek), but how do people consume this crap daily and come back for more?

What an ass.

I hope someone has a link to it, I only caught the audio clip on another radio show.

I bet it's actually Rush whose happy about troop deaths. He feasts on tragedy and conflict. Without these horrific acts, he's got nothing. 9/11 was like Christmas for that jackass.

He claimed that his proof was on the Liberal blogs...that's where he found the Liberals celebrating. Note that no sites were cited.

I'm sure he spends a lot of time combing Liberal blogs. I repeat, what an ass.

This is the same guy who said

"Put all the Druggies in Jail" and we need to snuff out the Pot Dens for Cancer patients.

Meanwhile he was popping buckets of Speeders and Downers to get through.

Add Hypocrite to your list . His show is for idiots who can't think for themselves.

Gee Roger, I don't know if I would go that far. While I agree on some of the negative stuff mentioned, I kinda like his show and I can think for myself. I even typed this message by myself. I think either right or left, you gotta think for yourself but maybe I'm just an idiot.:shrug:

I agree that Limbaugh is useless slime but the fact that he declares the Liberals celebrate any loss to our troops is a tactic all the Neocons use. We have a couple of Bush's War apologists right here who post the same crap everytime something bad happens.

Good point, StevieD. But, I know for a fact (because I was listening that week) that Rush did NOT "applaud" when McNabb got hurt (despite rumors to the contrary).

Yea Steivie and we have some liberals who can't wait to put up death tolls and run troop scandals front page for 40+ days--as pirite fan said--you need to think for yourself--have you allready forgot post on terrorist websites in Iraq running liberal media reports on their websites or Al Quada's recent letter to Dems after elections--you think it's coincidence they perceive you as being on same side?

now about intial post---

My answer would be--
What IQ does a person have to have to take 3rd party hear say as fact?
Bad enough liberal blogs have their chopped quotes-partial quotes-quotes out of context ect
but here your sipping on the cool aide of 3rd party reference putting up quotation marks on what he thinks he remembers 2 party source saying--Sheez

I don't listen to radio so can't say much one way or another--but to take opinion of someone with agenda as gospel "quoting" what he heard from
2nd party source is embarrassing in my view.
Once again as Pirate Fan said--
THINK FOR YOURSELF!

1. Are you serious? Did you miss the part where I said I heard the clip played on the radio? Not exactly 3rd party hear-say when I listen to the clip on the radio.

2. The quotation is there for a reason....I'm QUOTING him. You can spin this however you like, I heard the clip from start to finish. Your making this out to be a once in a lifetime type of comment by Limbaugh. Wake up. This guy talks about the Liberals cheering for failure in Iraq every day. It IS his show.

3. You don't want to say much one way or another but you'll call me an embarrassment. Nice try. Are you making this up as you go??? Like I said before, I listened to the clip from start to finish. I didn't take it paraphrased from another source, I heard what Rush said from Rush.

Try again.

I can't defend anyone without knowing facts Matt and so far we have no facts.

However my pet peeve as always is half truths and hear say and opinion reported as facts.

I did search this morning on--
"Rush said that Liberals are happy about the killings and that they are bidding "good riddance" to the deceased soldiers."

and found zilch--you would think every liberal blog would be climbing on it?

No offence gmroz22--but I don't equate fact (which it might turn out to be) with someones interpretation of what they heard. You may in fact have what they said verbadem--but if in different context or partial quote--the his entire point may have been completewly changed.

If you know what program you were listening to --should not be hard to find transcript.
After you find it--post it and then we can make opinion.

Dogs,

Admit this:

There are solid political pundits and commentators of the conservative persuasion who will give you a consistent opinion and will criticize Repubs when warranted
Novak
Will
O'Reilly

Then there are the D Bags who would praise Bush if he invaded Canada:

Limbaugh
O'Hannitty
Anne Coulter
Laura Ingraham

Limbaugh is a sell out hypocrite who's greatest achievment in 06 was mocking Michael J Fox.

Roger Do not view or listen to several on your list but on rare occasion but believe you are on the right road.

What I look for in commentators and pundits shows in general are
-topics-quests- and debate from both sides.

What I like least is pundits or shows that has guests that generally agree with their stance and you never hear other side.

Next would be pundits that have the (less than knowledgable) guest with opposing view to make their arguement seem stronger.

As you say-no one is always right or on the right side--

--and many times there is no right side.

This from a few months ago. Pretty much displays his mindset. You agree with him here, Wayne?


Limbaugh: Liberals Are ?Ecstatic? About Haditha, Planning ?Gang Rape? of War Supporters

Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh asserted that ?the American left? and ?the drive-by media? is happy about allegations of misconduct against civilians by U.S. troops at Haditha. Moreover, they planned on using Haditha to ?gang rape? supporters of the war to undermine U.S. efforts in Iraq:

"This Haditha story, this Haditha incident, whatever, this is it folks, this is the final big push on behalf of the Democratic Party, the American left, and the Drive-By Media to destroy our effort to win the war in Iraq. That?s what Haditha represents ? and they are going about it gleefully. They are ecstatic about it? Folks, let me just put it in graphic terms. It is going to be a gang rape. There is going to be a gang rape by the Democratic Party, the American left and the Drive-By Media, to finally take us out in the war against Iraq. Make no bones about it."

kosar, I don't see DTB supporting Rush. I think he's asking for sources instead of heresay. What's wrong with that?

PS

I can't stand Rush for the record. The last time I heard him he was defending Tom Foley :rolleyes:

heres one from the liberal blogs for ya`....on the death of president ford....

"The guy was an EVIL MOTHER****ER who sent many innocent Americans to death for war profits. **** him and the bunch who rode in with him. 'm glad he is dead! I only wish he suffered more!

take your useless sentimantality and do something else with it.

Goodbye Mr Ford. I hope for your sake there are golf courses in Hell. Tell Raygun we said Hi!

If you can't say anything nice about a person....then that person must be a recently deceased republic president.

The man was a Repug...... and the country is better off for every Repug who is gone. Good riddance.

I'm glad to see that DUer's haven't lost their edge after Xmas and still recognize a Rethug when they see one.""

Clint,

Unless Wayne thinks there is a chance the original poster is totally making it up, despite overwhelming anecdotal evidence that this sort of thing is exactly how Rush thinks, then I would think 'heresay' is pretty weak.

I can assure you that if, say, Gardenweasel heard an Al Franken quote on the radio straight from the horses mouth and posted it here, Wayne wouldn't be so worried about 'sources.'

What do you think?

Yeah, some anonymous blogger is the same as a radio host with millions of listeners. Nice comparison. :rolleyes:
