Goin' after Rush and Talk Radio, round #568

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

The Senate leader Harry Reid makes a speech on the Senate floor to criticize R. Limbaugh, and falsely accuse him of disrespecting the military, when it's Reid and his gang that ACTUALLY DO disrespect the military, time and time again. A resolution introduced in the House, too, to condemn private citizen Limbaugh. Paving the way to re-introduce the Fairness Doctrine, IMO.

I'm SHOCKED that nobody has started a thread on this before now.

[Ike]

You're right...I think we should devote a whole 10 pages to a discussion of the ramifications of a non-binding resolution in the senate.

I would think you would be interested in how our legislators conduct the nation's business.

Real disgust, no real or imagined outrage. It's expected of those guys, but still disgusting.

[soonerscuba]

I think Reid is an idiot, he is Senate majority leader, Rush is a drug addict. Do the math.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I think Reid is an idiot, he is Senate majority leader, Rush is a (recovering, I think)drug addict. Do the math.

For once we agree, except for the math part.

Sure...when they write laws it's important. Nonbinding resolutions, not so much.

Just a quick search revealed some of the nonbinding resolutions brought before the senate just last week. Naturally, some of these most people would consider very reasonable things. Some of them however make you wonder why they do it. Its simple...they do it because they can, and these things don't really mean anything.

Called Harry Reids office to see if he was going on rushs show. They said he didn't know. I would love to hear that. Rush would destroy him.

And bringing up the drug thing is very dangerous and in porr taste sen harkin. he did it, went for treatment and has never done anything but address what he learned from it. Anyone who believes it can't happen to them (especially with drugs like oxycotin etc..) is fooling themselves.

I don't see one against anyone person. Especially one who calls them out with the truth.

[Ike]

That was just last week. Im sure if we broaden the sample size, you'll see plenty.

[soonerscuba]

Then I guess you were really, really mad about what Republicans did to John McCain, Max Cleland, and John Kerry?

[Stoop Dawg]

Japs bomb Pearl Harbor!

[soonerloyal]

Rush Limbaugh can suck the big 1111111One. I heard his entire statement and saw the video of it BEFORE the SOB edited it, and his insult to my veteran sons and their brothers isn't something I'll let him off the hook for. Just because he's backpedaling doesn't make his slap in the face any softer for the men and women who serve honorably, but don't agree with the war in Iraq.

I don't agree either with Congress and Bush wasting our time, money, focus and childrens' lives on bull**** carping over things that don't really matter - meanwhile our sons and daughters are bleeding out heartsblood while the rest of the country watches. But if you think I'm going to let crap slide over my windshield while I'm trying to drive and not hose it off, you'd be wrong. Between listening to O'Reilly not listen to anyone with a differing opinion, and Limbaugh barfing out ridiculous drivel towards the people who actually know whereof they speak, I'm ready to to throw them in the mud. That goes for the ultra-left screamers who have the same BS factor.

Truth is, the only opinions that really matter are the ones who have actually served - and the loved ones who wait at home for them to return. Regardless of opinion or political stance, theirs is borne of actually knowing the subject. Everyone elses' is just a weak imitation of a worthwhile opinion.

Rush Limbaugh never gave anything to this country worthwhile. His infected butt kept him safe from service in 'Nam. He might have the Constitutional right to state his opinion, but that doesn't mean it's worth a sh**. Ask my sons what they think of his opinion. The answers might rankle you...but it's two of the few you'll hear that actually counts for anything.

[soonerscuba]

I feel silly posting in this thread, we have a limp-wristed politician sending meaningless legislation against a tired, drug-addled crackpot, and we are talking about it.

[soonerloyal]

Ain't free speech ops wonderful?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I feel silly posting in this thread, we have a limp-wristed politician sending meaningless legislation against a tired, drug-addled crackpot, and we are talking about it.

Now we disagree again. Limbaugh is so effective and popular because he speaks the truth. For you to call him a crackpot means you are oblivious to the failings of the left, or you simply don't know much of what he says, and gobble the goop of leftist pundits.

[mdklatt]

Now we disagree again. Limbaugh is so effective and popular because he tells people what they want to hear.

Most people don't give two ****s about the truth.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Most leftists don't give two ****s about the truth.

Hence the Harry Reid rant. Someday, those in Nevada will hopefully tire of his insistance on defeat in Iraq.
