      There it is, folks. The official Troglodyte position on this issue. Apparently, the Republicans think they've got the Midterm elections in the bag. Hubris, anyone?

          Just because racist morans listen to Rush's opinion doesn't make Rush relevant.

          He's a slightly more famous Savage, totally irrelevant.

          Becks the new king of the far-right, which must sicken Limbaugh haha

            I think the older Republicans still defer to Blimpy... Gingrich gave him partial credit for the "Republican Revolution" in 1994.

            Beck appears to be grooming the next generation of Republican zombies.

              See I wouldn't pay attention to Rush anymore, well fair enough if MMFA wanna still continue doing it because they look at all the hate radio guys, but any news organisation, T.V programme I'm talking about, he's just being glorified as having any relevancy when he hasn't, I understand that theres many who'll watch him and listen to him and that no republican will disagree with him or anything, but its a scam, he's created a cult of personality where going against him loses you elections, where in fact, from what I've seen and read, his opinion and influence matters very little to America overall.

                That's probably true. He may still have influence among the Republican leadership, but in Greater Wingnutistan, Beck and Palin have eclipsed him.

        Hubris, anyone?

        But can we freely scorn them for their blatant refusal to admit their found-out lies? Or should we almost admire them for their sheer bloody-minded consistency?

        As long as we don't give them our vote...

        Well, that seems to be the tactic of people like Limbaugh, Beck, and Breitbart: instead of admitting fault of any kind, sound full speed ahead. In the eyes of their audience, I suppose they think it makes their heroes persons of conviction...even if that conviction is floating in a toilet.

      And he will continue to batter this deceased equine despite conclusive proof to the contrary. Just because he and his klan can't dispute the explicit complicity of the teabaggers in outrageous hate speech and celebratory racism.

        He can't back pedal out of this. He dove in head first for the past two days. He wanted to be the loudest screamer on this issue. Now that the truth has come out, he has to keep trying to convince his audience that the edited tape reveals the truth and they shouldn't believe anything that is to the contrary. He's committed to this lie and he's banking that his audience won't have the time to look into the obvious truth. He's also praying that the rest of the media don't flat out call him, Beck, Hannity, Breitbart, and all of Fox News on their malicious behavior regarding this and other issues.

          Well, since Blimpy's sycophants get their news primarily from Blimpy, they'll believe him.

            I know that many of you people look to this program as your single source of the truth.

      Rush is projecting and race baiting as usual.

      As far as Sherrod, how can blimpy call her a racist? Sherrod's speech in question was given on a topic entitled "Things that I have learned". Being a product of the 50's, anyone with half a brain could see why she initially held certain views. She then went on to explain that her initial feelings towards the farmers were wrong, and did everything in her power to help save the farm. The farmers have come out publically and gave her their support for saving the farm. Of course Rush ignores this fact completely because it does not fit in with his race baiting.

      For the NAACP, how can they be racist when whites helped start, and are currently members of the NAACP? Rush and his dittobots provide no examples of how the NAACP is racist. No one associated with the NAACP has been convicted of a hate crime.

      Sherrod denounced her prejudices and admitted to her mistakes. Of course blimpy will never admit to his own racism, so he will never learn. People like Rush keep dealing the race card.

      Yesterday you had "no idea what happened" and were trying to say that Breitbart didn't "screw around" with the editing. Now you're saying he did, and he was right?

      Keep backpedaling. I think there's a cliff about ten feet behind you.

      All race, all the time, between now and November, that's Rush's agenda, to make sure that he talks of nothing else.

        Not just Blimpy... it's the Republican Party's agenda. They see it as their best chance to take back Congress.

      David Frum was right . . . these idiots are NOT thinking this line of attack through very well. They are marginalizing themselves even more with these attacks on the victim of a vicious attack by Fox and Breitbart.

      Glory, hallelujah. He finally crossed the line.

      LIMBAUGH CAN BE SUED FOR THIS!

      Would someone please, PLEASE get word to Ms. Sherrod that she needs to get a lawyer and have her review a 1990 Supreme Court Case, Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Co. "El Rushbo" can get away with lying about public figures, but this poor woman does not fall into that category.

      The Ku Klux Klan was once undone by a civil lawsuit that took all of its assets. A defamation by this saint of a woman not only holds this potential, it would be such a high profile event that even the so-called "ditto heads" could not ignore the unmasking of their hero for the liar that he is.

      Judged to be a liar by 12 ordinary American jurors . . . . Can you imagine!
