micro 0 #26 June 28, 2006 I've never really been a Rush fan, or an O'Reilly fan for that matter... I think that they're pretty embarassing for conservative causes in many ways. However, I think if you dig deep enough in anyone's closet, you're going to find skeletons, hypocrisy, scandal. We're human beings. We're prone to fuck up. Yes, they should be punished fairly if they've done something wrong, but should we really be standing around like vultures as we do waiting for their next car wreck? To me, that's just as bad as someone like Rush who rails against junkies who, himself, turns out to be one. "He who is w/o sin cast the first stone" and all of that... Now before someone drags up old posts I made about Bill Clinton and his infedility, IMO, it's considerably different when an acting President of the United States -in office- does something scandalous versus the stupidity of a news entertainer.

I would agree with you, if it wasn't for the fact that Rush has openly berated many groups, but in this case more specifically junkies. All this not at neighbourhood parties but in a very public manner and to some quite offensively. Turn around is a bitch. If you give it like he does, you should be able to take it. Specially if you openly berate a group you secretly belong to.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #28 June 28, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuote But still, he's an entertainer. Who gives a shit. Must'a been a slow newsmaking day in liberal-land. Yes, Rush Limpballs is an entertainer. Unfortunately, the trailer-dwelling poor white trash who champion him think he is an authority on everything. Then why does he bother you so much? I think pretty much the same of Al Franken, but I don't see his name brought up nearly as much as Limbaugh. QuoteBecause I used to believe him. At some point I started to question his ideas - One day he was ranting that Tourette's was a made up disease, and just an excuse for children who wanted to swear all the time. Well, that did it for me. From that point on I questioned everything he said, because if he was speaking with such authority on something he was so ignorant of, what other bullshit was coming out of his mouth. As it turns out, a LOT of bullshit. You should question anything you hear from those who purport to "know" without any facts. I occaisionally listen to him if I'm in the car going somewhere, but I don't feel let down when what he says turns out to be either slanted, misinformed or just BS. He does have some thought provoking views and therfore some entertainment value. So does George Carlin, for that matter, but I don't get upset when he's wrong and start calling him Kremlin or such. I just noticed some have a more than healthy predilection towards emotional outrage and just wondered where it came from.
