      Evidently MICHALE STEELE isn't good enough  or conservative enough fo EL FLUSHBO. Maybe ADOLF HITLER would do for him.

      I can't wait to hear O'Reilly weigh in on this. These really are the best of times.

      I keep hearing people say "Oh but Rush is just an entertainer" BS! He is educating the uneducated in this country.  Most of his followers have no clue about politics and yet they take his word as truth regarding whats going on politically in the world. 

      For him to continue his "I want Obama to fail" campaign is just plain pathetic! What's worse, is he is now condemning people who want Obama to succeed! He's a poor excuse for a human being and its a shame that he's paid 400 Million a year to be the idiotic windbag that he is.

      and another thing, when Reagan ended the fairness doctrine with the purpose of giving unchecked rise to Limbaugh , Hannity, and the others who want to advance unchallenged rhetoric against anyone who thinks differently then they do.

      Since Rush and this new breed of Republican really are only talking to a fraction of the populace...

      Rush, like Alan Keyes, Caribu Barbie, and all of Fox Noise truly are.... the gifts that keep on giving!

      And what's with the supposed leader of the GOP (Michael Steele) sucking up and apologizing to Rush?

      Oh..... nevermind!

      Of course he is an entertainer. An entertainer with fancy make believe words.

      I like how he tells Steele that "he is not a talking head pundit" and "a taking head media star." Steele is the face for RNC right now and what is he supposed to do then not get any media time.

      Limbaugh basically is the reason why Republicans are hated.

      P.S.: Yes Limbaugh is ugly & just an entertainer.

      Educating the right on how to be a conservative is not a big selling point for Rush's job security.  Believe me.  You sound very ignorant even saying that.  Flocks of conservatives voting for an inexperienced candidate only because of skin color will NEVER happen on the right.  Too many Obama supporters cannot tell the difference between a democrat or Republican.  The group of folks that made Obama supporters look the worst is when they supported Obama's running mate, Sara Palin.  They had no idea who Obama's true running mate was and they did not care in the least.  They were totally behind Obama's stance AGAINST pro-choice, on and on and on.  At the same time, there are many Republicans that call themselves conservatives when they are not even close.  (Take McCain for instance!)  Hey, look at me guys!  I got the choice of TWO democrats this past November!  Whoo-hoo!  I lost either way, but I am really seeing my conservative values challenged by the Marxist, Obama.  Too many of you argue Obama's obvious Marxist views without even reviewing the man.  This is not a stretch here guys.  My MAIN point is you just do not know how funny it truly is to see you folks moan about Rush.  You all act like vampires with a cross in your face.  Brings out the worst in you all.  Funnier, how you respond to that which I personally do not like to hear from him, but you end op making yourselves look so classless and unprofessional as a news reporter when he is the front pae of your website each day.  How did we end up HERE????  What changed that you could feel so comfortable being so ugly to your fellow Americans?  Again, I cannot stand Obama's policy or Bush's for that matter (not a conservative Republican)  and I know that this is almost the worst treatment to our government given to us by our forefathers...At the same time we are on this boat together and we should honor this President and all past Presidents that did the BEST that they could.

        A strange posting. It fits somehow here and now, but if you'd try to be a little clearer next time it would be appreciated.

        Thanx.

        Um...Sarah Palin was McCain's running mate, and Obama supporters didn't support her. Also, Obama is pro-choice.

          No.  He's refering to a HOward Stern bit, where one of his lackey's interviewed a handful of black voters who revealed that they were voting for Obama despite hoving no idea what his policies were.  (They were HAPPY that the was pro-life and would stay in Iraq and they thought Palin would make a good VP.)

          It was a funny bit, but hardly a legit soucre fro a reasonable political / philosphical discuassion.

        Dude... Do you realize that you are quoting HOWARD STERN?  Do you think there's even the slightest possibility that SOME of theose people were told to play along, just for the salke of the gag?  Not all to be sure - sadly, there no shortage of stupidity from either side of the isle - but even if you assume that ALL of the "interviews" he did were legit, your whole rant also assumes that this was some kind of scientific random sample.  As oppsoed to, a handful of stupid interviews, with the relatively smart-sounding ones thrown out - BECUASE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FUNNY ON THE SHOW!  Do you realize how stupid you sound when you base your arguments on stuff like that? 

        Well, that's conserva-logic for you.

        Oh yeah, and you're WRONG anyway.  There are PLENTY of people who voted for McCain simply becasue they would never vote for a black man.  You're an IDIOT if you think otherwise.  And those people are (1) racist and (2) not likely to be self-identified as liberals.  (Many will be Democrats perhaps, but if they say they are liberals, then they don't know what the word means.)  As for understanding POLICY - how on earth can explain why a poor white southerner would vote Rebuplican?  It's not in his economic interest to have his wages undercut by cheap mexican labor, or to get a $10 tax cut while his millionaire boss gets thousands, all the while making sure that his workforce never organizes.  Do you have any clue how much of the republican vote comes from ignorant trailer-trash voting with their bibles instead of their bankbooks?  You are the MASTERS of confusing the ignorant in order to get their votes and their money. 

        Do you guys ever make an argument that not transparently illogical, and in a way that blatantly points out all of YOUR OWN flaws?  You will be in the minority for a generation unless you kick Limbugh and all the Religious Whck-Jobs to the curb.  You will come back to center-right or you will become extint.  Mark my words.

        God, arguing with conservatives is like Mickey Mantle hitting off a batting-tee.

        Too many of you argue Obama's obvious Marxist views without even reviewing the man.

        You're probably a post-and-run kind of person, but I have to ask anyway - what are Obama's obvious "Marxist views"?

      Limbaugh is a big fat liar.  He is doing a good job of alienating most intelligent people. He also seems to be the fattest braindead idiot who thinks he has a brain.  He is probably still doing drugs.

        Wow, Limbaugh is fat! He needs to show some personal discipline, some personal responsibility. I had not realized how fat he had become until I saw the CPAC talk. It appears that Limbaugh cares as much for the truth and this country as he does for his own health. Wow, he is fat.
