You ever spent much time listening to Air America? Same thing. It's not a Rush exclusive.
Can you give us an example?
I probably could.
El oh el. Blackangst at his debating finest.
However, finding one example for an entire network doesn't make a comparison.
But if he can come up with, say, three examples from, say, the Thom Hartmann show in all its years, I'll give him credit for that. I'd say there's little question he can't and won't.

Punks all the way.
The delectable irony of this post in this thread...Originally posted by: blackangst1
I probably could. Ive heard enough of Air America to know it happens there too. This is a bash Rush thread though. We could turn it into a general "talk show hosts that get a whiff of something and run with it only to be punked"? THAT would be a fun thread!Originally posted by: DealMonkey

LOL! Funny. Not as funny as the NYT/CBSnews/Dan Rather Bush military service records hoax however. Are they still claiming that the story is accurate even though all their evidence was all a fabrication?
Rush and Rather can't be compared. Rather counterfeits did not reflect facts. Obama's so called "thesis" does.
From "thesis"
".. the Constitution allows for many things, but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned. While many believed that the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy."
From Obama radio interview:
"The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf."
He said since courts and Constitution failed to enact redistribution (Marxism) and could not be relied upon to do so, people had to be "organized" to acquire redistribution:
"I am not optimistic about bringing about redistributive change through the courts. The institution just isn't structured that way... One of the I think tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributed change and in some ways we still suffer from that."
Obama is like Chavez
