The Friday Rush: A series of conflicts
Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
It has nothing to do with your never-ending idiocy/racism/lies.
Hey, Rush, as Artie Lange would say - Waaah!
If you watch the clip of "Obama doesn't care about Afganistan", there is a long camera shot of Limbaugh, and Wallace. Watch Limbaugh's foot. You think he was trying to look up Chris's pants :?
Oh my.
What has Wallace not ignored is the true question.
Jocksniffin syncopants at this level of the media may go over well with the dittbots. I'd like to see someone take him to task.
I seriously wonder what the interview agreement must look like when Rush appears on any show outside of Fox News. They must have "do not ask this" list as thick as a phone book.
- physically assault Stewart or a member of his crew
- walk out mid-interview
- cry
- start yelling
- foam at the mouth
- kill himself afterwards
Overall, it would be a very entertaining interview, I think. And just imagine what a weight off of this country's shoulders it would be once Limbaugh snaps and is put away!
A man can dream.
The "so called compassionate, all inclusive, diversity group" only wants their point heard so they attack verbally leaving you feel you need to defend yourself.
If they are so "open minded and fair" about EVERYTHING why not the truth??
I think that's supposed to be a question...
You think you're a racy homophobe? Well, we're the RACIEST HOMOPHOBES! As for the "truth", since you're too lazy to either add a question mark or click on the link, here's some blatant racism... sorry, "truth" from your god Limbaugh:
"In Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering."
"You can't criticize the little black man-child."
"The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips."
"Composite photographs of wanted criminals always resemble Jesse Jackson".
I... I don't think this is English.
Growing up as a kid my dad told me to never pay any one who spoke things you don't believe in, grow a thick skin and carry on. Stay true to yourself because only you know what the truth is and no matter how much you scream and yell you will never change anyone's mind.
Grow up if he and all the others are so despised and hated then why are the show top rated? They would have never flourished and gone down in flames years ago.
Oh yeah Air America is doing so well it is probably because they have no message for the average person and feel government is the answer to ALL of the problems in the world. Well i hate to burst your bubble but government is the CAUSE of most of these problems.
They step in and try to fix something with out really knowing anything about it, well meaning as always but it never solve the problem just creates others
How about the health care bill it was to COVER EVERYONE but they admit it will leave out 5 million people and 1900 pages for REFORM??
More like restructuring to me what about this throw the bill out and but everyone with out health care on the politicians health plan PROBLEM SOLVED.
So you're in favor of legalizing gay marriage, repealing the Patriot Act, and privatizing all police and fire departments?
Sorry to hear that, I learned to listen to opposing viewpoints and then use logic and facts to determine if the person has anything useful to present. That allows the self-correction mechanism of such techniques as The Scientific Method to work out whether the speaker has an actual point to make, or whether they're just pulling 'information' (disinformation) out of their rectum.
The so called facts are junk science that Al Gore uses to put fuel in his Gulf Stream while you sit around and pray to him.
If some one calls names I don't need logic or facts to know they are a idiot and a bully, but since you follow blindly you do?
Just keep giving him money and time so he can fill his Gulf Stream up and fly around the country lecturing us about "global warming"
Let us see taxes on cigarettes, soda gas still goes up yet Pelsoi claimed in '05 if the democrats are elected prices will go down?? THEY WENT UP $2.35 OVER THE NEXT 2 YEARS ????
If they want health insurance join the military, make themselves valuable to a company that provides it.
Government has over regulated health care for years let it go back to 30 years ago were you paid for every thing make it a tax right off and insurance was for catastrophic illness only. That is too simple you want the government to control EVERYTHING well social security has 2 people working for every 5 retired how the heck will it survive- oh wait raise the rate from 7.5 percent to say 22.5 percent that would make it solvent again.
The government is OUT OF CONTROL taxing any and everything to pay for these programs, and you will not care until they come after you.
I really want to know where in the Constitution it says we will provide "FREE" health care, education, housing, food unemployment benefits for all.
If the government would stop taxing the pants off of us and let US make the decisions of where to school our kids, how to invest our 7.5 percent social security money- that is the biggest ponzi scheme ever
Your arguments are completely ridiculous and false, but you will never understand that because you listen to an uneducated,racist, sexist, bigoted comedian on the radio and believe that he KNOWS what the heck he's talking about, when he doesn't. Wow!
Let's take a look at some of my 'Political Shelf' (BTW, I did not pay list price on ANY of these books)
Logic And Mr. Limbaugh
Ray Perkins, Jr.
Details comments from Rush Limbaugh and points out logical fallacies in his comments. Good as a general reference.
Rating: *****
The Federalist Papers
Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay.
Rating: *****
The Age of Reason
Thomas Paine
Rating: *****
We're Right, They're Wrong
James Carville
Loses points because it tends to be more 'pundit' than informational
Rating: ***
Paired: The Oh Really Factor
The Way Things Aren't
Fairness and Accuracy In Media
Mostly battling quotes from the two pundits, or debunking statements by them
Rating: ****
Downsize This
Michael Moore
While I liked his TVNation, the followup The Awful Truth was pretty awful.
Rating: ****
Paired:The Way Things Should Be
See, I Told You So
Rush Limbaugh
Generally a lot of rant, occasionally the ghostwriter must have cleared up some of the comments.
Rating: **
Set: Where I Stand
With No Apologies
Conscience of a Conservative
Barry Goldwater
Conscience was the first book, which completely changed my view of Barry from the old cliche of "Conservatives are warmongering racists who don't care about the poor or minorities or unions". The unfortunate part of this is that the Neocons have taken the cliche and turned it into reality
Rating: *****
Okay, there are others, but I haven't read them in awhile, so cannot rate them honestly.
Says everything we need to know about where you developed your level of intelligence.
(Oh and BTW, it's pretty clear that one of the people your daddy told you not to pay attention to was your English teacher.)
If you threw out the bill and "but everyone with out health care on the politicians health plan" that wouldn't solve anything. The people would still have to pay for it somehow. Either the people receiving the insurance would pay the insurance costs themselves, or there would be a tax increase anyway to pay for it (which wouldn't make sense, because then any old joe could drop his current plan and just get picked up for this 'free' plan).
Besides all that nonsense, nothing about what you're saying is actually addressing the issue that the administration is trying to solve about healthcare, which is the COST of healthcare.
Please elaborate on how you think what you're saying makes any sense.
As for ratings . . . . lots and lots of people watch Survivor, The Bachelor, etc. . . . ratings don't equal either quality or veracity.
I could have given a better more interesting interview than Chris Wallace. Almost everything Rush said bore out of ignorance and hate. Which means most of what Rush said was nonsense. For example: Why didn't Chris defend the President of the United States when Rush said Obama is a radical and he don't really care about the American troops fighting the war in afghaistan? And why didn't Chris ask Rush to tell the world why he would vote Palin for President?
The President is black, why don't we see a more diverse perspective and opinions on TV? That would be fair and balance. White people will let other white people get away without really being challenged (for the most part), unlike real inteligent black people (not uncle-toms) who knows BS when they see it.
And the quote that was publicized, what you said about Donovan McNabb? That was all over the media...quoted verbatim. I heard the statement the night you made it and was quite glad to hear that ESPN booted you off the show. Hopefully, that boot got you right in the cyst.
This is just a theory here, but my guess is that before Limbaugh does any sort of interview, the interviewer has to agree not to ask about certain things, and not to paint him in any sort of damaging light, or Limbaugh walks out of the interview. There is literally almost no other way this man could ever do interviews without getting completely bashed by half of the interviewers (assuming any of them were not under the employ of FOX).
