Yeah and there is always some ignorant tool who just likes to take his statements out of context to vilify him. YOU must be one of them, but I do get quite the laugh out of you leftists attempts though:p :D

Leftists attempts at humor? I think the man is a moron, so that makes me a leftist? Way to jump to conclusions. Thanks for proving my point.

hahaahaha...

If you been here long enough, you'll realize how CkG is the ultimate apologist. Somehow, it's not Rush's fault for saying moronic things, BUT the listeners for "taking it out of context" in attempt to "vilify" the poor pill popping man.

Hey, don't blame Rush, his Oxycontin levels were low. Makes him irritable and stupid. Anyway, that would have been a much better argument than "It was taken out of context." I mean, liberals can relate. :)

I really don't see why Rush is hanging on to this so long, I mean

It will be pretty much a non issue by the middle of next week..

This is the first "real" issue that the Bush haters have been able to sink their teeth into and

Through their blind hate, do you suppose they are missing something..

One thing that surprises me are the ratings the last few days of the rush show and

Its staggering how many liberals are tuning in (just look in this thread)..

What is Rush up to? Rope-a-dope. (again).

I don't care what you think of Rush, but I did say that I get a laugh out of people's attempts at vilifying the guy - especially when they take what he says out of context.
I didn't say "attempts at humor". It seem YOU are the one who jumped to conclusions and made ASSumptions. You have made no point. Thanks for playing:D
Oh and is being a "leftist" really that bad? Aren't people on the left proud of who they are? Why do they alway try to duck the "liberal" label? Are you that insecure in your beliefs? or is it that "i don't want to be labeled" BS again? Meh - I support the right for leftists to spout off -we live in a country that protects that right, but atleast be honest with yourselves. I'd really be interested to know where you think you stand in the political arena though jman19. Are you a Conservative, a so-called "independent", or a liberal/progressive/whatever the hip name is this week? Just curious.

sMiLeYz- you might actually learn something by listening to Rush - hell you might learn something about yourself in the process. You can hold whatever opinion of Rush you wish and think what he says is moronic based on some out of context snippet if you wish...but someday you'll be able to read or listen to what is actually said instead of allowing your knee-jerk ASSumptions about him to take the place of comprehension(we can hope anyway).

Sorry, I must have not been paying close attention when responding... I saw laugh and attempts and put them together. Still, the fact that you think I'm ducking my beliefs by saying I'm not a leftist is just absurd. I'm not saying it's a bad label, I'm just saying I dont identify myself as one. The fact that you think I'm hiding something just goes to show what a homer you really are... Once again, not liking Rush doesn't make me a leftist... in fact, it reveals nothing about my political affiliation. It simply means I think he's a damn idiot. So yes, again, YOU ARE jumping to conclusions.

I'd like to know exactly how his comments were "taken out of context." Frankly, it sounds like Rush was justifying the mistreatment/torture of Iraqi detainees. What context could you possibly put that into to make it sound any better?

Right....:p So what exactly are you then? Let me guess - you are a "moderate" :p :roll: Whatever. You can think what you wish about Rush - I could care less, but again - taking what he says out of context is a classic leftist knee-jerk tactic and I get a laugh out of it.:)

I never said you did have to have a certain political affiliation to like or dislike him. I am curious as to your politics though - you seem to want to hide them. why?

Oh, and FYI - there are many things I disagree with Rush and Bush on. Hell, I even disagree with the Republican party on things. None of that stops me from being who I am - a Conservative.;)

:roll: - talk about ZERO context. There has been no "backtracking" - YOU and 'mediamatters.org' don't have a clue what he was saying - that little transcript on their site does not put the whole flow of discussion in context. He was NOT excusing or defending the actions and has said so repeatedly. I was listening to that show - and was NOT as you or 'mediamatters.org' describe.

Now I understand the left's hatred of Rush, but once again they show their ignorance by trying to claim he's suggesting something he is not. But sure, bleat your ignorance and stroke your egos if it makes you feel better, but it doesn't make you right, nor does it change that you don't understand what Rush said.:)

CkG

Good, glad he doesn't "understand" what Rush said, that means the Tin Foil hat he is apparently wearing is working and fending off Rush's repeated brainwashing wave's.

Too bad you don't try a Tin Foil Hat on too, probably too late, all brain cells thoroughly brainwashed by Rush, Hannity and Co now hence CAD & Co.

Hannity is the Man Rush wanted to be. Rush couldn't carry Sean's jockstrap.

Well, why weren't you a good little sheep that kept looking for a good, wholesome, right-wing website?

ok maybe i've been out of the loop for awhile...and i'm not even mad about this-- but when did you stop being a conservative?

I heard from a fellow Conservative that Rush said "this wasn't something that wouldn't happen at a Spears or Madonna concert." Well, Rush, how about going and eating a bad of d!cks. These people were FORCED to do things they didn't want to do. Rush must simply be high again. His drivel sounded good when I listened to him when I was 6 years old, but ever since then...

all of his statements about this situation are beyond reason..

Is it so hard for people on the extreme left or right to admit when their "side" is in the wrong, or something isn't going according to plan?

No, you still don't quite fully read what I post.
I get a laugh out of leftist attempts to vilify him by taking his statements out of context which is exactly the case here. I said that you must be one of them.

Oh, and "leftist" is a generic term I use now because the bedwetters didn't like being called liberals. So if you wish to call it "name calling" and find it offensive or whatever -that is YOUR problem, not mine. I will not apologize for your feelings. If you think "leftist" is deragatory then you are the one with the problem. "leftist" is a broad description of those on the left of the political spectrum - which I'm quite certain you fall on from your posts here. I tried to ask you where you fall, you won't answer - so I can only use what you post here to make an assessment of your political leanings.

That's nice, but that quote is not in the correct context. It was about the pictures of the abuse/torture - NOT THE ACTS. See, that's what people don't seem to be able to seperate. You take Rush's comment's and only apply them to the actual acts of abuse instead of realizing that there is specific context to his statements.

The statements about Spears were about the outrage by people over seeing the PICTURES - not the acts themselves. It is about seeing graphic things and the outrage over it.

***********************


This is the last I'm going to say about all this. Everyone can try to paint Rush as evil or whatever if they want, it's obvious they think that bashing Rush is some "right of passage" or a prize of some sort.
If you wish to interpret his comments out of context - be my guest - I've tried to help you all understand but I've failed in that attempt. I knew going in that it was an impossible task but I, the eternal optomist and believer in Americans, gave it a go.:)

CALLER: It was like a college fraternity prank that stacked up naked men --

LIMBAUGH: Exactly. Exactly my point! This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You of heard of need to blow some steam off?
