Re: State of the Union

Is that your attempt at racism?

Is it racist from me? It seems you don't recognize it as racist from the Swine Prince.

Those quotes are a fake, nv.

Virtually everything Rush Limbaugh utters is fake KingRat; he uses the same tricks as the psychic network.  There's a little something in there that any fool can believe in. 

Like this moronic ObamaCare poll from NewsMax linked on the side of this webpage:  How are you supposed to answer something like "Do you support providing health care to the 45 million uninsured, including illegal aliens?" You don't have to lead sheep by the nose; you just walk in the general direction and they'll follow.

Re: State of the Union

Direct from the Rush Limbaugh website:  "About the Show"

The Rush Limbaugh Show is the most listened to radio talk show in America, broadcast on over 600 radio stations nationwide. It is hosted by America's Anchorman, Rush Limbaugh, also known as:  America's Truth Detector; the Doctor of Democracy; the Most Dangerous Man in America; the All-Knowing, All-Sensing, All-Everything Maha Rushie; defender of motherhood, protector of fatherhood and an all-around good guy.

There is a "consensus" among the American people, who have made this the most listened to program, that it is also the most accurate, most right, and most correct. 
People who disagree with this are Rush Deniers.

Re: State of the Union

When I hear Rush Limpball's fans gushing over every pronouncement he makes, rush-ing to SHARE some tid-bit of non-sense they just heard, I am reminded of when I had kids at home. Kids are easily impressed with status, regardless how shallow and temporary, and they will suddenly feel compelled to wear the "correct" shoes and style their hair the "correct" way and speak just the right words and in the "correct" dialect to make all the other kids think they are like the kid that has impressed them. And the "cool kid" eats it up. That "cool kid" flaunts his power, watching the kids mimmick him and laughing with his real friends at the"geeks."

Maybe growing up without the opportunity to make a fool of yourself in "hero worship" leaves people vulnerable to such inclinations when adults. Maybe it's something that everyone needs to deal with, bettter sooner than later.

Noe Valley: Virtually everything Rush Limbaugh utters is fake KingRat; he uses the same tricks as the psychic network.  There's a little something in there that any fool can believe in.

CR:  No offense intended NV but I feel you and JPB are fighting a losing battle pointing out the issues around Rush.  First he is much too good at what he does to actually go over the edge – he is a master at pushing the line.  He falls into the grey area of entertainment / satire that leave his loyal listeners an excuse to defend him – they easily narrow the issue to “what he said” and ask everyone to over look “what he means”.

The thing is – they will never be upset at what he says – it is not offensive to them. If anything they want him to go further.  IMO the real danger is the constant message driven into the political narrative that push the issues so far to the extreme make finding common ground or compromise impossible. It could almost be considered an attack on the American way of life.  20 hours a week of constant derogative narrative attacking not only liberals / democrats but even moderate republicans that are open to finding middle ground – no compromise – every issue no matter how complex is reduced down to plain black or white.

That IMO is the real danger of Rush, Hanity and the likes.

Re: State of the Union

;No doubt, C-R. Your observation seems right on target. I saw Sarah Palin last night. She tripped all over herself rationalizing Limpballs use of the term RETARD. Even after she has repeatedly admonished liberals for letting the "R" word slip past their lips in even the most innocent conversation, The Annointed One can slam his opponents as RETARDS and Palin is too beholdin to him, and says his use of the word was satirical, or some such B-S. Ain't it a shame, that the GOP looks to a doped Disk Jockey for leadership.

Re: State of the Union

Well think about it - what better way for multi millionares to con guys making $45,000 a year into thinking they benefit from tax breaks for the wealthy. Heck - just suggest we look at the tax rate and they are quick to point out how you hate the rich.

Re: State of the Union

Wall St brokers are Rush's real buddies, not working people, C-R. That's for sure. But the hoards of wannabe tycoons keep Limpballs high on their shoulders(figuratively speaking), championing him for his support of the fortunes they wish they had...... But never will.

Re: State of the Union

Wow, to listen to you guys one would think Rush was the president. Attack on American? Goodness, I consider a socialist president and a socialist majority party in congress a much bigger threat to America than a radio commentator.

Re: State of the Union

The Swine Prince's celebrity makes him a big target and he gives the public a lot of ammunition. It's fun to point out the dog crap on Ferragamos and laugh.
