Just like Al Franken, right?

The Rush supporters want to hear bad things about the left, and good things about the right, or at least about the current administration. So he hits on Clinton, Kennedy, and others because they are most visible, and in truth Kennedy is pretty slimey, much more than Clinton. Consequently he will always do what he does. Make money, and that is by saying things, and as Pabster demonstrates people will buy it at truth, in spite of the fact that many of his fallacies are so easily shown up as deception. He's not there to sell truth, but to sell what Pabster wants to hear.

He's an entertainer, and I often find him amusing. Rush too :p

I hate to bust your balls but I haven't listened to Rush for YEARS. I just find it amusing that he stirs up the liberals so much. :D

Yeah, he's worth every penny!

Everyday Rush brings up Clinton, this is not some current news item but a sick fasination. Rush's format really needs to evolve because he cannot blaim everything on Clinton anymore (even though he still trys).

I won't completely disagree with your point; because I tend to agree with much of Rush's discussion, even if I don't like the guy. However, the 'bolded' words above describe quite accurately about 75% of ATPN; that being the Left minded folk here. Oh alright, there are a few RW nutjobs here too. The scales tip in balance of the LL though ;)

Rush Limbaugh? Isn't he that drug addict? You know, the one who for years preached life sentences for drug users? Called them moral degenerates? Then we found out HE was a drug addict?
Just checking.

Rush embodies the so-called "religious" right in this country. picking and choosing which moral values apply to them. complete hypocrisy.

The only time I hear Rush bringing up Clinton, is when the democrats are bringing up Clinton. Don't forget that Hillary is in office so the journey continues...

The only "so-called" embodiment going on around here is the broad sweeping and inaccurate generalization that is waged upon anyone who isn't rabidly Left.

BTW, "Picking and choosing"; that's more a "Pro-Choice" mantra than...

... here come the Semantics Police ;)

i am critiquing and calling out those who are in favor of the death penalty, but are vehemently opposed to abortion. those who support the Iraq War and could care less for the losses of Iraqi lives, but cry foul when an unborn child is aborted. these are the hyprocrites of this country.

Lets face it, Clinton made Rush rich and now that he is gone he has not stopped talking about Clinton. When will the right let go of Clinton and let there own self healing begin? So much hate!
And Bush made Michael Moore rich...what do you expect...that these partisan hacks would stop talking about the very issues that are their sole source of revenue.

Comparing putting to death criminal's who've committed a heinous crime and putting to death innocent life is an argument that is fodder for another thread. Even what you say you're critiquing doesn't support your entry into this thread. It's just more of the 'shoot wildly in the general direction" kind of stuff. Again, broad sweeping generalizations.

True. It seems the liberals are the ones trotting out threads in here that quote Rush and are the ones listening to him. It's an odd kind of irony.

Gotta admit, I'm guilty :) The irritation is addicting, but all of us who post on P&N already know this...

There is a good deal of Air America threads and Al Franken quotes as well. Who is listening to either of these people? I will admit to listening to Ed Schultz on occasion though. Franken is boring as hell and Rush... well what else can be said that hasn't already been stated. They sort of cancel each other out.

Hehe, the funny thing Condor is he probably thinks I'm a liberal :p

I really don't like the leadership of either side.

I think Rush is a complete fraud, he's like wrestling everybody knows it's fake but they keep watching. The so called 20 million listeners need to have their opinions affirmed while Limbaugh laughs all the way to the bank.

He's a pill popping three time divorcee, nothing like personal responsibility and family values.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michael Savage (phony name btw) are the reasons why political talk radio is sh1t.

I think "mediocre" would be quite a stretch for the current Oval Office resident, don't you?

I think it would be a charitable description, assuming that's what you're implying. GHWB was mediocre; GWB is considerably below that level IMO.

I think it's safe to say that GHWB was mediocre... as was Clinton, although he resided over pretty good times overall. He might be seen like a 20s president, roaring times, yet doing nothing to stem the tide of problems.

Dubya however, encountered serious, historical situations... and his actions will take years to decipher. His legacy is wide open IMO.



Funny how when you are smart, educated and well advised, like Clinton you don't encounter as many "serious, historical situations. Certainly Katrina is an exception, although if Bush were not so eager to appoint untrained, uneducated, unsuitable, political only (as determined by Karl Rove) candidates for all these high level positions, he might find that there was some competence around to bail his a$$ out when these things occur.

As it is he is on his own, which we all can see is less than satisfactory.

Where did I say that? The OP's post was about Limbaugh, to which I replied. I said all political talk radio is sh1t, so by extension you can include whoever you want. Funny how you make it into an argument that I want people to listen to Air America. :roll:

Most republicans I know personally won't listen to Rush at all. They find him an embarrassment.
