As Jack Nicholson said in "A Few Good Men, you can't handle the truth, Mike. And the truth is that Rush Limbaugh is lying about what he saiud, and is taking all you dittoheads for a ride. I'm finished with this thread – you people are too brainwashed to facec facts.

And I'll see you on the article next November that talks about President-Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Didn't your parents teach you name callers any better?

Don't you have anything better to talk about than drawing a line in the dirt with your toe and spitting over it?

Are all the adult voters in this country in the 1st grade? Where are the comments on healthcare, the war, inflation, outsourcing...what's the matter with you people??? American and Iraqi civilians are dying every day in Iraq and you guys play who can come up with the worst name to call the 'other side'.

Children of Marines and Law Enforement killed in the line of duty win!

Reid and you lose!

See you on the article about the matching donations Reid and the rest of the 40 Senators make....

Oh, I have a life, thank you. I just for the life of me cannot understand how so many allegedly intelligent adults can be SO convinced that Rush is right, when the evidence on Media Matters clearly shows that Rush doctored the audio and the transcript of his show, changed his story several times, and the dittoheads accept his story as gospel truth.

It's the dittoheads who need to get a life. A life in which they inderstand what the rest of us know – that Rush Limbaugh is a lying scumbag pill-popping sorry excuse for a human being.

And Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are just as bad. Except for the pills.

Everything Rush SAYS is lies, petty insults, and mal-informed comments. You should go somewhere and get a life, if you think defending a scumbag like Rush Limbaugh is a good use of your time.

And based on the pro-Rush comments I've read connected to this article, I'm PROUD to be a life-long Liberal Democrat.

Finally! Somebody gets something good from this pitiful 110th Congress, THE worst in history. And it turns out to be Rush, a rich old lady and injured Marines!

Ha Ha!!

Wrong. it got that much money because there are stupid people out there with deep pockets. Such as Betty Casey.

And it's not priceless. It's worthless, just like Rush.

For someone who calls himself "RightTighty", you don't seem to be wrapped too tight.....

Rush for President, 08

Nope – full of facts. Facts that were verified by a third party – Media Matters. Everything on their web site has been verified and can be proved accurate, which is more than can be said about Rush.

And not everyone can listen to Limbaugh's complete show. I can't because where I work we can't have radios and we're not allowed to audio stream over the company's computer system. The only time I hear Rush is going home at lunchtime to care for my disabled wife. And I happened to hear that portion of his show on September 26 when he made the "phony soldiers" comment and I know for a FACT that re was not referring to Jesse MacBeth in particular, but all soldiers who oppose the war in general. Why do you think he said "soldiers", if he was referring to only one person?

You dittoheads are the ones who are grasping at straws defending this scumbag. The only parody around here is Rush himself – he's a parody of a human being.

In closing, here's one more fact that you'll never hear Rush talk about. When he was working as a DJ in Pittsburgh in teh /70s under the pseudonym "Jeff Christie", he was arrested one night in an area known for homosexual activity, in the company of a known male prostitute. I think that says a lot about why Rush has been married and divorced three times, and is childless. He is obviously a closeted homosexual who used his ex-wives to cover up his true sexual identity.

Posted By Clint, Tulsa, OK : October 19, 2007 7:53 pm
By your own admission, Clint, what intervened between Limbaugh's "phony soldier" comment and his "clarification" was about another subject entirely. Therefore they aren't connected at all, regardless of what you and the other brain-dead dittoheads say.

I can't listen to all of Rush's show because I HAVE A JOB and am working during the time he's on. The only part of his show I can hear is when I go home each day at lunchtine to care for my disabled wife. I probably have forgotten more than you've ever known, Clint, if all you can do is defend that useless scumbag, Rush Limbaugh.

I HAVE a life, Clint. Unlike true losers such as yourself.

You've stopped talking about it; I just assumed you found them.

If not, which Democrat will you blame for "distracting" you?

Hillary, I'll bet....!!!

So free speech is there just for people like Limbaugh? You say the whole thing was smear on Limbaugh and the same could be said of Moveon. If the US congress is going to start to condemen people for their opinion, it should be across the spectrum you stupid. I guess that's exactly the reason why legislators should stay away from condemning anybody for their opinion. Atleast Moveon just said that about one guy, what Limbaugh said was about a whole lot of vetrans who are against this war.

Respectfully, you do not understand the distinction between the two letters. MoveOn smeared the General and deserved bipartisan rebuke. The letter sent to Clear Channel was based on a partisan lie and thus a smear of Limbaugh. I appreciate your patrioyism no matter how it manifests itself.

Rush's countermove was quite brilliant, and now the $2.1 million he's saving from being off prescription pain killers is going to a good cause.

I would like to see Rush be responsible and admit he made a mistake, but as that is doubtful, I will do the only patriotic thing I can and not watch or listen to his programs.

At the same time, I do not think Congress should be condemning the acts of private businesses and individuals. What Limbaugh and Moveon.org did were well within their first amendment rights and when we have a Congress that actively opposes the right to free speech when important duties they are charged with are going unfulfilled, it seems somewhere between counterproductive and unconstitutional. Both sides of the aisle are fishing for votes, which is why professional politicians are the least able to serve our country but the most likely to be elected for such a task.

You are the ones filled with so much hate, you can't see the problem. Did you open your ignorant mouth when Moveon, a private advocacy group were condemned by the Senate and Congress? Ofcourse you are so blinded by the racist and bigoted ideas of hate-radio, that you don't have any sense of fairness left.

rush has managed to somehow paint wanting to cover our wee ones with health care as a terrible crime .
rush has managed to make anyone trying to alleviate the energy crisis as un american . like million's of barrels of
saved oil is a bad thing ? yes i forgot .solar power and wind turbines are really a red plot . fighting and dying for oil is red white and blue .
our young dying in a civil war in a far distant land makes more sense than spending oil dollars in the USA .

question for all you rush boys . the senate writes two letters denouncing move on .org and rush .
why is one ok and one letter not ok ??
both are free speech no ???
both speak about anothers use of free speech ,

silly me .i thought our boys were dying to defend the right of free speech .

A major political party is working hand-in-hand with the MSM to attempt to destroy a private citizen. Let's say they are successful...who's to say you libs aren't next when the Dems get into power, and then try to shut you up when you realize you've been duped?

Gratifying that forty – one Democratic senators listen to Rush Limbaugh. I mean, they must have heard the program to be in a position to condemn it, right? Or is another "Hillary" – "I voted for the war but didn't bother reading the intelligence briefs."

Will Rush address the oxycontin issue?

Will Rush discuss his "actions" in the Dominican Republic involving behavior with young boys?

I didn't think so!

But, he's a big, brave, chest-thumping "Amurican" when he attacks former soldiers in Iraq, who unlike Rush, can actaully spek from experience in the battle theater.

As we all know Rush had a bad case of malfunctioning dingle berries which kept him from slaughtering for America.

Just for the record...although Rush did, in fact, co-found and is currently on the board for the Marine and Law Enforcement Charity, a grand total of $4,200,000 WILL be going to military families. It's not like Rush is transferring the $2,100,000 mil from one of his private bank accounts to another.

Oh, and something else for the record...Rush said he had expected the smear letter to go for at least 1 million,(not "a few thousand bucks" like you said. If you EVER actually listened to Rush's show, you would know that. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that Rush donates more money to military families that you probably could earn in a lifetime.

Brad – that is no way to talk about one of our bravest heroes in the global war on terrorism. Besides, he's actually sleek like a puma. They doctor his photos so the terrorists will be taken by surprise by his speed and ferocity.

No trick... it's HIS website and, by his admission, his words. Read it and pay attention to what you are reading.

A guy calls in and identifies himself as a Republican who has served in the military, and states his position as being against Bush's War, and asks why Rush makes it seem like only Democrats are against this war.
Rush gets all looney and yells at the guy, telling him that he is "NOT A REPUBLICAN". When the guy assures Rush that he IS Republican and served in the military, Rush tries to mock him by saying something childish like, Sure, "and I... used to walk on the moon". Here are excerpts, but nothing taken out of context (again, READ IT YOURSELF on HIS site)

-----
RUSH: Mike in Chicago, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: Hi, Rush, how you doing today?

RUSH: Fine, sir, thank you.

CALLER: Good. Why is it that you always just accuse the Democrats of being against the war and that there's actually no Republicans that can possibly be against the war?

RUSH: Well, who are these Republicans?...I can't think of who the Republicans are in the anti-war movement.

CALLER: Well, I am a Republican, and I listened to you for a long time, and you're right on a lot of things, but I do believe that we should pull out of Iraq. I don't think it's winnable. I'm not a Democrat, but sometimes you gotta cut the losses. I mean, sometimes you really got to admit you're wrong.

RUSH: Mike, you can't possibly be a Republican.

CALLER: I am.

RUSH: You can't be Republican.

CALLER: Oh, I am definitely Republican.

RUSH: You sound just like a Democrat.

CALLER: I used to be military, okay, and I am a Republican.
RUSH: Right, I know. And I, by the way, used to walk on the moon.
-----–
okay, even though the caller is Republican ex-military, since his view of the war differs from Rush's, Rush feels the need to try to belittle the caller and his opinion by mocking him.

The next caller says he is calling specifically to offer a "retort" to the previous caller... this is important to note, because it tells us that the following conversation is directed to the previous caller and others like him, meaning, Military Personnel who have spoken out in the media against the war.
-----
Another Mike. This one in Olympia, Washington. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.

RUSH: You bet.

CALLER: I have a retort to Mike in Chicago, because I am serving in the American military, in the Army. I've been serving for 14 years, very proudly.

RUSH: Thank you, sir.

CALLER: I'm one of the few that joined the Army to serve my country, I'm proud to say, not for the money or anything like that. What I would like to retort to is that, what these people don't understand, is if we pull out of Iraq right now...."
----–
The 2nd caller and Rush go on to say a few more things about "these people"... again, remember they are talking about the previous caller and others like him... people in the military who speak out against this war. (Oh, stop making that face... it's all on Rush's website, go read the whole thing for yourself!)
---–
RUSH: It's not possible intellectually to follow these people.

CALLER: No, it's not. And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.

RUSH: The phony soldiers.

CALLER: Phony soldiers.
------
Did you catch that?
Evidently, this caller and Rush agree that Soldiers who speak to the media, opposing the war, are not what they (2nd caller and Rush) deem "REAL" soldiers, but, in their opinions, are "PHONY" soldiers (Rush's words, folks).

When Rush later got called on this unpatriotic remark, he backpedalled and said he was referring to Macbeth...
however, in this same transcript (GO READ IT), he clearly doesn't mention Macbeth until AFTER the call referring to anti-war soldiers as "phony"... and then he instead calls Macbeth a "FAKE" soldier.
------
RUSH: I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much.

Here is a Morning Update that we did recently, talking about fake soldiers. This is a story of... Jesse Macbeth.
------
There, already! Stop blindly defending what this clown is TELLING YOU he said, and go see for yourself what he ACTUALLY SAID, on his OWN WEBSITE.

sigh, but you probably won't... ditto-heads don't like to think for themselves... they might have to face the truth, and that's just too scary.
Right, Right?

Oh, and something else for the record... Rush is no saint for "donating" $2 million to a foundation he co-founded and serves as a board director... He offered to match the winning bid, but I'm sure he thought it would be no more than a few thousand bucks. I guess he could always say he never made that offer... at least his fan-base would believe him.

so that we can fill the army with the bravest americans, Rush Limbaugh listeners. Also, Limbaugh listeners know that everything is going splendidly in Iraq and the soldiers are all quite happy to be there so they should have no problem signing up for the Army in droves.

Rush has 13.5 million weekly listeners. If we assume that every single one of our 2.5 million active and reserve soldiers is already a listener that leaves 11 million true patriots to recruit from. If just one in ten Rush listeners are in shape for the military we can double the size of our active duty forces which will be crucial for fighting all the wars espoused by America's Greatest Patriot, Limbaugh.

So type in your zip code and find the nearest recruiting center dittoheads! Iran isn't invading itself.

Uh huh...and Bush and Cheney flew the planes that crashed into the twin towers on 9/11. Yep, their clones are running the country using brains implanted by Halliburon.

Get lives losers.

So all you have to do is start a foundation for the Marines and do whatever the hell you want? That's what you call right-wing stupidity. So what if he is donating matching funds to that organization, he will make that money by making more hate speeches with the attention he got from all of this. The fact that the Military Industrial Complex is fully invested in these kind of arrogant and repungnant right-wingers is to make the money flowing. This is how it works: Stir up the pot for support to start new and phony wars, use the right-wing nut radio to twist facts and use the huge goverment defence-contracts to keep hate going. Good plan and it's been working good in this fear filled environment.
