Irony of Rush Limbaugh's comments today

[atlantabiolab]

Re: actually

The whole lewinsky thing was an embarrassment and a farce....much like the career of rush limbaugh....a zealot, a biggot and an all around pig who lies and distorts the truth on a daily basis.

The use of terms such as zealot, bigot, racist, etc. points to a person who really doesn't have a strong reasoned response. If you have points of contention, then bring them up, using labels is the realm of children.

Limbaugh fucked himself with his drug problem, we agree. But because of this failing does not imply that all of his issues are flawed.

Your statement and comparison to Bush is completely off topic,(not to mention erroneous) perhaps you forgot what the topic of the thread was.

Just because it is off-topic doesn't make it wrong.

Your failure to address his point shows you don't have the energy to fight him or you don't disagree with it.

That said, who gives a fuck.

Limbaugh's ridiculous advoacy of the drug war should extend even to himself. As long-dead rapper Eazy-E might say

"Put the fence on the boy, he'll do some time".

Ok,
Zealot:
One who is zealous, especially excessively so.
A fanatically committed person.


I think that dictionary definition pretty much sums up Limbaugh, he is an absolute republican fanatic who stops at nothing to belittle anyone he disagrees with, even if his arguments are false.

As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."
A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?" This comment here illustrates him abusing the stereotype that "all black people look alike"

Here are Rush's comments on the NAACP: "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies." The NAACP has always been a non-violent organization, but here he uses more of his racial stereotypes to describe them.

Not to mention this cute little joke he told on the air: "When a gay man turns his back on you its not an insult, its an invitation".

I think that proves my point that he is a bigot.

So because he is a "racist" than all of his points are invalid? Is that your contention?

It matters not, since zeolotry does not mean wrong, or incorrect. A zeolot can be completely correct and is one who holds to the truth in a world of imbeciles. I am sure the Founders of our country could be easily construed as zeolots for their determination to have a country governed by libertarian principles and not a monarchy.

Many of the greatest scientists held to their conclusions, fanatically, in a world pitted against them.

It does not prove your point, for his statements are easily construed as humor, something which always falls on the line of offense.

I have listened to his show many times, and while I disagree with many of his pro-Republican stances, I cannot state that he lies profusely or is full of irrational hatred towards minorities or gays, or such. His venom is pitted against those who promulgate devisive, oppressive ideals and regulatory desires.

His venom is pitted against those who promulgate devisive, oppressive ideals and regulatory desires.

Cloaking your vernacular in polysyllabic speech does not change the message.

Rush Limbaugh is the epitome of devisive, oppressive ideals and regulatory desires. See his thoughts on the drug war and how to deal with offenders. While you are at it you may reconsider saying that Limbaugh is anything but devisive.

I would offer more thoughts on Limbaugh but he struck me as cartoonish within the first five minutes of viewing.

if you don't think what clinton did was illegal and think that its just immoral then if I were you I'd treat myself to a reading of the definition of perjury. You see cheating on your wife is immoral, lying under oath is criminal.

It takes no special intelligence to understand this simple fact. Opinions as to whether or not it was justifiable to ask Clinton whether he was having a sexual relationship are irrelevant.

For instance if a man is starving and steals a piece of fruit from a store to alleviate his starvation then he has broken the law regardless of how you feel about the situation.

Similarly if you buy and are in possession of AAS then you are also breaking the law. Again opinions about the justification of said illegality are irrelevant to its status as criminal.

Too many people are so oblivious to the simple fact that Clinton did in fact perjure himself to a Grand Jury.

The blowjob was not the point and to persist in believing that it was is a strenous attempt to be stupid. It was his second term, he did not have to worry about reelection he should have just been a man about it and answered honestly, that would have taken all the wind out the sails of those trying to get him.
However honesty is not a trait commonly found in politicians.

Any prominent individual is going to have enemies that would seize on an attempt to take them down if the opportunity arose.
Common sense tells us as much. Clinton was not paranoid to think there were people trying to get him, there were. Similarly there are probably those who would relish taking Limbaugh down.

WTF are you talking about? This thead isn't about Clinton. Please pay attention.

WHAT? and your comparison to clinton isn't off topic?
