          Only one thing stupider or more disgusting than Rush's political muck is his so obvious racism about our gifted President. As a Republican, it has been such a relief to have a President with some brains and that knows how to speak good English and who does not lead with that silly smirk laugh like Bush did. However, no matter how silly GW was, we did get through those bleak years and lived to find ourselves represented internationally with someone with a brain. Whew! What a relief!

      Yes, I'm sure that President Obama lit the menorah thinking it was Kwanzaa (which is on the 26th, so he'd have been even earlier in celebrating it).

          Isn't a semite a 'race', just like slavic, or african, or persian? Of course Mr. Limbaugh (apologies to everyone that thinks Mr. is a sign of respect, that correctly spelling a person's name is a sign of respect, etc.) can be racist and racist in one sentence. I am just curious what race he is, because it sure doesn't SOUND human.

          Ronald Reagan repealed the fairness doctrine, and almost immediately after Cmdr Pill Popper started spewing his brand of shullbit without any fear that he had to bring on air anyone that would, undoubtedly, prove him to be the liar that he is.

          Why do you think he has never had in the 30 years he's been on the air anyone on his show that doesn't agree with him 100%

          All he has to say is "media tweak" and his support of the LRA is forgotten. I notice that was never brought up in the "drive by" media. I wonder why that is.

        Conflicting statements and concepts are easy to hold onto for people like Rush Limbaugh and his followers.

        They just don't have to think anything through. They wouldn't know that "Muslims" don't celebrate Kwanzaa unless he told them ... and then he'd have to remind them that he's trying to tell them O's a Muslim.

        I have a pet notion that there's a basic human wish around winter solstice to have some sort of celebration: The days are short, so it's a time to break up the cold and dark by getting together for some warmth and light.

        I mean, if having that Celebration be (or include) Christmas makes a person happy, that's cool, but in my opinion the season IS the reason.
