          It's not the vice, it's the hypocrisy.

          I actually kind of agree with you on this and Limbaugh's sexuality has nothing to do with this particular topic in the first place. When he talks about gay rights and same sex marriage it might but this whole 'Limbaugh soliciting a gay prostitute' story is just an internet rumour as far as I can tell. There is no real evidence.

          On the other hand I find it sort of amusing that you use "qu@@R" and "pack some fudge" to show how tolerant you are. ;) Just an observation and no offense intended.

            It does show his hypocrisy, however - he demands the truth from others, yet conceals the truth about himself.

          "Oldmaninblackforest" is obviously in Black Forest, Colorado. I lived in Southern Colorado for 11 years and I know that there are a lot of right-wing moronic nuts in the Black Forest area.

      MM LIES, Limbaugh says there is NO MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING... this is a fact as proven by Phil Jones and company...

      PRODUCE THE ORIGINAL DATA?

      22.8 million dollars to Phil Jones, who know how much to the other GW fearmongers.

      Re-distribution of wealth... proof...

        The data came from measuring stations around the world.

        That data can be re-gathered from those same weather stations - the stations themselves are the repository of that data.

        This is a ridiculous allegation. When people open up a reference book, then take notes about data and information gathered in that reference book, then use those notes to write a paper, they don't save all the notes. They put footnotes in the paper to document their sources. Then, if someone wants to check their work, they'd go back to the original source.

        What the climate change people kept were the numbers they would use for future research too - not the original source data, but the corrected data from those sources, and that all happened 3 decades ago. Go back and check out the original source data, if you want to. The climate change people aren't responsible for that data - the original sources - the weather monitoring stations - would be responsible for their data.

        Then lets not regulate coal burning!

        Lets not restrict automobiles from how much emissions gets put out!

        We should not have regulated CFC output.

        We should just pollute our A$$es off!

        *Facepalm*

        oldmaninblackforest --

        You keep asking the same question: "PRODUCE THE ORIGINAL DATA"

        I gave you links. Then you claimed it was "manipulated", without proving your claim that the data at

        You are applying "Argument By Question"

        One more time - Here are some sites with data. Prove it's manipulated.

        And explain how so many scientists were conned into accepting bogus data. Just how does that work?

      A spasmodic Limbaugh, to the caller who had the audacity to challenge him:
      There is no need for Obama! There is no need for you!"

      That's the Voice of Conservatism.

      If there was "no evidence," then what would there be to "suppress?"

      How can anyone supppress what does not exist Rush?

      I can suppress a lie, the truth, an opinion, or evidence but I can not suppress something that does not exist. So if the evidence does not exist then it is cannot be suppressed. This shows that you are no where near as intelligent as you think you are. (Thank God for that.) You are nothing but an idiot pretending to be a geniuse and it shows to any reasonning person who hears what you say or reads what you write.
