Quite possibly. I'm assuming that tactical nukes are still considered nuclear bombs.

Throw Pakistan, India, N. Korea and Israel into the mix and we'll have quite a party. Note to self: Sell domestic currency holdings. Buy defense contractor stock tomorrow.

Oh good lord. Make it stop.

The official "honoring of our soldiers" as a means of denouncing Limbaugh's loose lips. Can't say that Rush doesn't affect politics when our politicians are wasting time yacking about him.

Only when I know I am right! Darn, you missed the cue. You're supposed to reply with "I AM INVINCIBLE!!!!" or "Ok, we'll call it a draw. Oh, runnin' away eh!".

I don't agree. I certainly can't quantify it but it seems to me that the national debate has deteriorated in an almost inversely proportional relationship with the increase in popularity of this sort of "entertainment". Not only have he and his understudies been frequently referenced in the political debates here in this forum, but they also make their way out of the entertainment news and into the mainstream news. Of course part of that is because the mainstream news is so dollar oriented that it has stooped to the level of Rush's "entertainment". But the best example to make my point is the fact that now, because of the influence that these political shock jocks have, there is indeed a Congressional debate on the issue. The whole thing is just sad. But I guess when your news is essentially at the mercy of the shareholders of a half dozen or so media conglomerates, this is what we get. The appeal to the least common denominator sells.

No. I told you yesterday that I thought that the Rush thing was a crap issue. The only reason that I even bothered to read into the subject at all is because the Rush apologists were getting their panties in such a wad and circling the wagons to such an extent that I felt compelled to point out the fallacies of the defense. And maybe part if it is because I think that Rush is a driving force in the ignorance peddling market. Maybe Randi is an ignorance peddler too but I don't know because I don't pay attention and she doesn't have much influence on the national debate.

I'll take your word for it. I don't listen to Randi Rhodes. I don't know who John Elliot is. And while it's sad that she busted her teeth, I don't really care to follow the story. Is this going to be blown into something that it isn't? What he's trying to explain to you is that Randi Rhodes had her teeth knocked out and the first reports were that somehow this was a physical attack by right-wingers trying to silence her because of her views. For a day or so the liberal blogosphere went nuts based on what John Elliott, another Air America host was reporting. Elliott now admits he lied intentionally. So this is a swipe at left-wing radio blabbers to show how they lie and make things up to blame right-wingers for anything and how their left-wing minions are nothing but mind-numbed robots. You know, same thing left-wingers accuse right-wingers of. blah, blah, blah...... . Ahhh.....I see. Pot calling kettle black kinda thing. Nope. Sorry. I still don't care.

My first thought was "great, this shit is starting up already". Then I realized that it won't matter. Thanks to Bush 43's New Executive World Order she won't have to answer ANY questions, can ignore subpoenas and hold on to any information that she wants in the name of "national security". Oh the humanity
-
That would be the funniest part about her being elected President. Cheney and Bush work so hard to give supreme power to the executive and then have to hand it over to a "Supreme Lord King Bufu Hillary". It would almost be worth it
-
I know he didn't mean what it sounded like. But it came out of his mouth and when you quote him directly it doesn't sound good. The left is exploiting that. And it is no different than when Rush does the exact same thing to other people. He makes a living doing it so I don't mind seeing him painted with his own brush.
-
Oh, if only emoticons were arguments, you might actually be able to persuade the rest of us that we didn't see, hear, and read what he said. I've gotta hand it to you. You're a fighter. You are indeed brave sir knight
-
Well my friend, methinks you need to share your Rush decoder ring with us. Because the audio matches the video that's synchronized with audio that was transcribed. Rush is getting what he dishes out. Turnabout's a bitch aint it?
-
What lie? Limbaugh said what he said, not what he said he said. And, unless you expect our memories to "betrayus" you're going to be hard pressed to show that this Congress is any worse than its predecessors. By the way, that's not a defense. It's just a sad reality check. Selective reality. Maybe there is indeed some selectivity involved. I don't recall so much hub bub over the resolution noting the importance of NASCAR or the motion to honor marshmallow peeps.

"New" level?

Why give Rush any consideration that he denies others? Because that puts you on the same moral/ethic level as you consider him to be. Are you okay with that? No. I don't like that this nonsense is considered newsworthy by many. I think it's crap. I think his show is crap. I think the knockoff shows are crap. I think the lefts attempt at the same crap is crap, as do most "lefties" which is why they don't do well. Stooping to the Limbaugh level is a move in the wrong direction as far as I'm concerned but if it just so happens that he occasionally gets his nosed rubbed in his own shit, I'm not likely to lose any sleep over it.

False argument. Katrina and the Katrina disaster are two different things. I only mention it because the above nonsensical argument has been floating around this debate a lot lately. -

You might want to check with some of the folks south of our border. I'm willing to bet that two consecutive 160 mph storms don't fall into the "tame" category by their standards.
