      Thanks for completing the job that bin Laden started, Rush. Guess you haven't been listening to the national security experts who are saying that your BS is making the country much less safe, right?

        Less safe for the people, a garden of earthly delights for security statists. Let's hear if for war unending.

        Well, the truth will out. This is EXACTLY like the cold war: a trumped up exaggerated over the top THREAT that can only be countered by LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY GIVEN TO THE PENTAGON. Pretty simple really.

        But kudos to whoever came up with 'Mosqueovites'. Great pun, far too clever for the Radio Budda...

          Radio Buddha. I like that. I had a Buddha statue when I was a kid. I never realized that it was a premonition of Blimpy.

      So Rauf will run out of money and you'll pretend that was somehow because of Reagan?

      I believe John Steward said we are 'Mosqueateers', thank you very much.

      I've said it before, the radical right and Bin Laden have way too much in common.

      " Mosqueovites". Oh, you know Blimpy was just beaming when he came up with that one. Expect this to go into heavy rotation with "the ruling class" and whatever other current catch phrases are passing for "clever" in the dumbed-down world of the dittoheads.

        Yeah,
        el Fathead is far too blank to have come up with this cute little phrase. He stole it from somewhere.

      Funny you should say that, Blimpy. According to the 2005 documentary "Why We Fight" , the Soviet threat was exaggerated by the same NeoClowns who later lied to us about Iraq.

        I find it amusing how the most powerful nation in the history of the world is afraid of absolutely everything. I shouldn't say it's amusing, rather it's sad.

          Back when the British govt wanted our help overthrowing the Iranian govt so they could install the Shah (at the urging of BP, BTW) they knew all they had to do was tell the Americans that they were communists to get them to do their (and BP's) bidding.

      When this comes back to bite him in his fat a$$ later on, Limbaugh will say it wasjust his "media tweak of the day".

      Anyone fighting the "mosqueovites" would have to include Fox News (whose parent company is in cahoots with rich Saudis) on their list of targets.

        He did have that war with an arm chair one time. Rush won--he crushed the chair.

          I believe it was in one of the Doctor Who episodes I recently watched, where one character said: I had to fight my conscience over that.. fortunately, I won. (badly paraphrased)

      I am not going to say anything about Rush's content but about his pun. Even as puns go this is bad because Muscovite and mosqueovite sound the same. This means the pun is lost. This is from a man who claims to be smarter than anyone else with telling his followers to let him think for them.

      Doesn't the phrase "We're now fighting..." imply that the speaker has at one time fought?

      When was that you bedwetting coward?
