I was sickened by Rush's slurping.
"callers who disagree with him go to the head of the queue" is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard.
Wouldn't want you to get an imaginary paper cut from one of his imaginary degrees.

You're just a troll. Everything you say should be quickly debunked and mocked, and then others should be warned to stop feeding your troll posts.
As someone who actually listens to Rush, I think I am more qualified to speak to the format of his show than any of you who have never listened to him.
You're way off on this one, BJF. Rush would be creamed in a debate with practically ANY liberal - that's why he spews his lies from the safety of his Florida bunker.
I agree! Kucinich would be crying from excessive laughter at Rush's pathetic attempts at "arguments" and cowardice when called on his myriad lies and factual errors on healthcare.
But of course, Rush is too cowardly for a debate.
Though I'd like to see him try.
That kind of "logic argument"? I'm sorry... I mistook it for a petulant whine.
I'm still guessing 17-18 year old range.
I speak from experience as a judge for high school forensic debate. I thoroughly enjoy a healthy debate between fairly evenly matched opponents. My last round of judging, however, had two debates which were complete train wrecks, one team having no idea that they were completely overmatched while the other knew, and had fun with it, accepting their defeat with dignity. The other team was just bewildered. Any debate between anyone who has actual knowledge and Rush Limbaugh would be like the latter - and it was heartbreaking to see when I judged the round. If I were to have the misfortune of watching a debate between Mr. Limbaugh and Mr. Kucinich, I regret to say that I would feel pity for Mr. Limbaugh.
What I do know is that Dennis has no courage. He didn't stand for his convictions. He got rolled and folded like a cheap suit. Although I disagree with him, I do respect a guy like Russ Feingold, for his consistency and intellectual honesty.
Limbaugh a serial liar? Nah, just mostly a buffoon that embellishes, or twists a fact or two, more than he out & out lies.
Of course, why let facts get in the way of a perfectly "funny" smear of Rep Kucinich?
Yes, embellishing and twisting facts is alright. I mean, that's not out and out lying, right? It disrepects no one. It's all for entertainment value. Doesn't hurt a soul.
Let's say I say I have three sons and I only have one. Just a slight twisting of fact, right? Let's say I said my name is Lily and it's really Grace. No big deal, right? Just tiny little twists, after all. Pfft, I mean, quit whining already. Because who are you to me? Nobody, right?
Rush's audience has no right to hear the truth. The people he hurts if the Healthcare bill doesn't pass are all just people he wouldn't associate with in real life anyway, right? They're just dirt beneath his feet.
Hey, it's all good. Nothing to get hung about. Nothing personal. I mean Rush never said he loved me (or anyone else in his audience), after all.
Hey, no disrespect........said like Jon Stewart imitating a mook. A little twisting of fact, a little embellishing never hurt anybody after all. He doesn't tell REAL lies. Except the lies he tells. That DO hurt people.
But he'll never get that. He might as well hire the patron saint, St. Jude, because he is a lost cause. He'll never get the fact that he does indeed hurt people with his twisting and embellishing. Because he affects real people. Not that he regards them as real people. And the fact that he's insensitive and doesn't care is a whole other kettle of fish. Because those people aren't HIS people. So they aren't important or worthy of respect. Or truth.
That, my mentally challenged friend, is a LIE.
He had the courage to stand up to the big banks in when he was mayor of Cleveland. The fat cats at the local bank wanted him to sell them the public electric utility. He said no and proposed the banks restructure the city's debt. The banks, in a hissy fit because they didn't get their way, sent the city into bankruptcy.
It ruined his career for a while, but today we have one of the lowest-cost public utilities around. Thanks Dennis.
And, FYI, he voted against the authority to go to war. Looks like he was correct on that one as well.
Wow BJ, you are wearing out that thesaurus aren't you?
By the way BJ. I am collecting all your posts and am submitting them to a psychologist for evaluation. I see a straight-jacket in your future.
Links to images of Dennis Kucinich's wife
And links to Rush's love interests
And there's no shame in getting petty when dealing with the pettiest man on earth.
Simple. If Kucinich's IQ and scholastic record were as dismal as Rush's, he never would have been elected to Congress, and he and his wife never would have met.
Go back to Free Republic - you have no power here. Begone!!! :-)
The difference between Free Republic and liberal sites is that if a liberal posts on that site, they are substantively rebutted with logic and facts. VERY rarely is a liberal personally attacked or called names.
Whenever I make a salient point here, nobody addresses the SUBSTANCE of my arguement. People here either call me a racist, a fascist, call me stupid, or point out a typo.
Whenever someone calls me a name or whose only response is to point out a typo I know I have won the arguement.
And they're two different perspectives, anyway. You are here getting schooled by individuals smarter than yourself. One of us at Free Republic is someone smarter trying to explain the most elementary concepts to a gaggle of morans.
BTW: a-r-g-u-m-e-n-t.
I post here because there are some moderate people here who read but do not necessarily post. They are entitled to know the truth as opposed to the claptrap they read here. I rebut all the liberal lies, and I'm certain that my posts influence at least some non-ideologues who may read the threads here. If our statements went unchallenged an uninformed person would believe the nonsense liberals spew. I am a hedge against that.
The Freepers would eat you for lunch - they are brilliant people. I am trying to encourage some of them to post here (to counter all the lies), but they say it isn't worth their time to argue with Kool Aid drinkers.
BTW, every time you point out a typo yo uprove my point that you can't combat me on SUBSTANCE.
Schooled? LOL!!!!!!! Calling me stupid, a racist, or hilighting a typo is not schooling me. It shows your intellectual bankruptcy.
Then, for goodness' sake, there's the door.
Don't let it hit you on the way out.
YAWN . . .
I was banned from posting on Free Republic for telling an idiot on that site that not discriminating against homosexuals in the work place will NOT infringe on her civil liberties.
There you did it to yourself. You mispelled argument for the umpteenth time, therefore it is NOT a typo....it is a habit.
Any time any of us register on Free Republic, we get banned right away - sometimes in a matter of minutes. Ol' RimJob who owns that cybersewer maintains a strict "no-liberals" policy.
No - they get banned.
It's hard to address substance that's not there.
You win nothing. We all have your number, and it's a big, fat zero.
How long has BJF been posting here?
Amazing that he can suggest that we're the ones trying to silence dissenting views.
If you are curious, my handle on Free Republic is: CT Reaganite
I post on Free Republic all the time. I respect the liberals who try to make substantive arguements (as opposed to the name calling that suffices for a rebuttal on this site).
Try the threads www.humanevents.com or www.townhall.com. Although you lack the testicular fortitude to do so, if you went to those UNMODERATED sites, the folks there would eat your lunch.
When I go to a liberal site, I win every debate. If you went to a conservative site, you would be owned.
You have never won a debate here.
I never engage in name-calling. Yet, it took me an hour and a half to get banned from Free Republic.
On the other hand, I have deconstructed pretty much every falsehood upon which I have commented.
PJ fan: a legend in his own mind . . .
In your mind you never lose a debate here because you run and hide whenever someone actually introduces well-sourced facts to counter your falsehoods. Such as: "Bill Ayers wrote Obama's book" or when multiple posters quoted from the report that you claimed vindicated Palin, when in fact that report found that she had abused her power. Posters copy and pasted from the report--knocking down what you said and, shockingly, you disappeared.
Meaning that, like Seahags5-11, you're a masochist.
Glad you're finally admitting it.
Likely because we're still waiting for you to make one.
TRANSLATION: I have no friends, so this is the only way I get any self-esteem . . .
As for free republic, you are blowing it out of your backside. I've been on free republic and observed the "substantive rebuttal" of ideas with logic and facts. There just about as substantive as your talking points and paraphrased Wiki pages.
BTW, you haven't responded to my comments to regarding your faulty research regarding military installations. I will refer you to 7 FAM 1113(c). When one does research, it is always helpful to frame your question properly FIRST and then do the research. You researched the wrong question which was "Are U. S. military installations considered American soil"? The answer, of course, is "No." Sorry, Scooby-do [your name for me on that post], you were incorrect.
You're a fraud.
They've failed.
If I cared only about my party I would want the bill to pass, but I care more about my country than my party. Although the bill would be beneficial to the political prospects of my party, it would be an unmitigaged disaster for my country, so I choose to put the interests of my country first and I oppose this disastrous bill.
If I were a right-winger, given the outcome of the 2006 and 2008 elections, I'd refrain from giving campaign advice, period . . .
"I care more about my country than my party"
"I choose to put the interests of my country first"
Which is why PJ fan hopes for the complete failure of President Obama.
Yeah -- right. Tell us another one . . .
Comprehensive polls also often show that when people are asked about the individual aspects of the bill, they like them. FoxNews and the Right Wing Noise Machine has been very effective in misleading the American people about what is actually in this bill. So many people who respond that they are opposed to the bill, when they are asked about the individual parts of it, they are in favor of it.
You're willing to put full, unquestioning faith in any poll that has results you want to see, but yet are immediately suspicious of any poll that has results that do not fit your preconceived narrative.
Just another illustration of how you are completely controlled by your emotions, and you have abandoned all rationality.
You are such a FRAUD!
I love to read your asinine posts . . . they literally make me laugh out loud
Here we go again. You took not one, not two, but a few classes on polling. You just make this sh!t up as you go along?
But thanks to those who are able, unlike BJ, to follow the news outside of what's on Fox and WND - again, something BJ cannot do.
BTW, did you ever look up 7 FAM 1113(c)? Doing research requires that one understand the question posed. You apparently didn't.
Talking points again, Dr. TP.
From the Wikipedia page on Rush Limbaugh:
So - who's the mental midget NOW, Rush???
A degree? For THAT?
She might be able to haggle her was up to a CPR certification or something similar...but I wouldn't give her much more than that.
And I know someone who admires Bobby Jindal who proves every day how little he knows.....
Governor Jindal has his faults, but I can say with confidence that he would be very displeased to see this poster using his name.
Bobby Jindal doesn't seem to be a big Rush fan. He condemned the sexist language that Limbaugh used to describe Mary Landrieu after Senator Landrieu secured the medicaid funds that Governor Jindal asked her to secure.
Gov. Jindal appeared as the featured interview in the Limbaugh Letter and was effusive in his praise of Rush. Jindal and I agree on 98% of all issues. Governor Palin and I agree on 99% of all issues which is why I prefer her. I chose this handle before she was nominated as VP.
Then your mind is shut tighter than a steel trap. The problem there is that minds are like parachutes - they function better when fully open.
I don't post talking points. You do.
BTW, did you go check out 7 FAM 1113(c)? You were wrong, Scooby-do. Haven't seen you admit it yet.
. . . especially since he isn't even using his legal first name ["Piyush"]
That is EXACTLY what is happening. They are trying to tear down the country to rebuild it in their Marxist ideal.
Bj bores me now. It was fun while his failure lasted.
I concur. It's not even fun to mock anymore. He needs some new material.
Functioning brain cells would help.....
Yeah yeah, your response is no doubt going to be, "I do so know what Marxism is! You don't! Nuh-uh!" Or something equal to that, that a lobotomized half-wit could dribble out.
Just stop. You're an ignorant and greedy irrelevant little man who frantically watches Fox News for your latest talking points. You likely sit in your parent's basement or something, the eternal virgin, laughing about how you 'showed those evil commie pinko marxist fascist ignorant liberals' on some message board. All while talking to your little bobblehead doll of Ronald Reagan.
Bottom line, you have no idea what you're talking about. You know you don't, we know you don't. Go to sleep now so you can think up more fiction about how you're really an internationally based scholar who has wonderful friends, lots of money, girlfriends or a wife, etc etc. The only thing that you're marginally good for is a sounding board to try out new insults, and even that gets old after a while.
I have taken many classes in economic theory. I have studied the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital. I have read most everything Keynes has written. A Marxist is a person who advocates the theories of Karl Marx. That would be B Hussein Obama.
I do have many friends. I never once made any reference to my personal finances (I defy you to prove otherwise).
There. I saved you the trouble of ever posting again. We'll all just refer back to this particular thread every couple of days to remind ourselves that this is what your response would be.
Fraud.
They speak English in CT, not Melville's English but modern English.
You write as if you're one of Ahabs' cabin boys on the Pequod, sailing out of new London, in the nineteenth century.
Yeah, you studied in England and France and are an expert on Austrian economics and blah blah blah.
I have never seen anyone online who boasts so shamelessly and so desperately. No one believes you. And most of us are old enough to know that you fit the profile of a lying child.
What a load of crap!
A jindal supporter defends
Lying liars: he counts them as friends.
If he ever got sick
Rush'd poke his eye with a stick
& Leave him broke without nary a Depends.
I haven't seen any of the other narrowbacks around today, other than myself. Hopefully they're drunk and not reading today's talking points from BJF.
But it is possible for them to have a nip or two WHILST they post.
To All:
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I notice you attack everyone who is more educated and intelligent than you are. Could it be because you couldn't complete even one year in college? Yeah, that's it.
