    Will you please STOP listening to Limbaugh. He's a person who ought to be debated on the House floor along with radicalism.

    My internet connection here in Washington DC sucks so I can't connect to that link and I'm having difficulties connecting here. It must be all the static in the air. :) But before I even investigate this any further I'm 99% certain the quote was taken out of context or otherwise misrepresented, if not shame on Rush. Nevertheless, you and the Huff have probably increased his audience by a couple of percentage points. Rush thanks you, :thumb: because he's smart enough to know that any expoursure in the news is like free advertising for him.

    BTW: this is the wrong forum for this topic.

    Typical of Rush and his followers, low on morals, low on caring, and no reality.

    Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Palin... They are nothing more than entertainment to most most people and would never be taken seriously. Even the Repubs have distanced themselves from these wackos in recent years.

    At any rate, still disgusting even coming from a bloated drug abuser.

    Be careful what you wish for, Rush.

    Remember last week when it seemed like you were hoping the Prius plant was impacted by the quake? A Shreveport, Louisana GM plant that makes pickups is having to cut hours waiting on Japanese parts.

    FYI: Rush drives an Escalade and endorses GM on his show.

    What is the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg?





    One is a flaming Nazi gasbag and
    the other was a dirigible.

    One's a morbidly obese douche who rapes Haitian boys and the other is a dirigible.

    Limbaugh is a total waste of space. He craves attention and will say anything to get it. It's gotten really old. The sad part is that there are people who actually listen to his BS.

    Someone needs to remind this fat drughead idiot that when resources are limited it makes even more sense to reuse and recycle.

    Perhaps, if Mr. Limbaugh was in the earthquake, with the sumnami, and trying to deal with the radiation issues, he would have a different perspective on the situation in
    Japan.

    The best we can due with a person like him is not talking about him.


    We can all offer a prayer and perhaps donation to assist the Japanese people, this is their time of greatest need.

    This is what needs to happen.

    The GOP leaders call him out like this:


    Then at least half his audience stops listening...stations drop his show.

    Candidates he backs start losing in the GOP primaries.

    And finally, like Sen Joe McCarthy, he gets ignored.

    once again, THIS IS NOT THE POLITICAL FORUM.

    I withdrew from the political forum for a reason. I'd like to be able to come to the Pancakes thread and not have to see politics.

    Why is this not being enforced by the moderators?

    I love me some Limbaugh-bashing as much as the next bleeding-heart liberal, but yeah, why ARE all these political threads escaping FHOPolitics lately? I left there for a reason, too!

    Edit: I was going to be quiet, but one 2nd thought, it's not me or the other members that should be sorry.

    It's that radio personality that twists quake victims into a political issue that should be apologizing, and lacks the decency to do so.

    Not sure I understand why this should be a political thread. It's about a man without compassion for his fellow human beings. This has nothing to do with political parties and everything to do with common decency.

    Good point. Even if someone is a politician, not everything they say is political. In this case he isn't even a politician, but a radio personality. When Imus called the basketball players "nappy headed hos" we didn't banish the outrage to the political forum, nor should we here.

    Ok, so if we talk about the President here it's not about politics it's about Teleprompters.

    And if we talk about the economy it's about money, not politics.

    And if we talk about Unions it's really just about oraganizing workers not politics.



    I love liberal logic. :rolleyes: :pound:
