I say we put Rush on a treadmill and let him broadcast his show while walking at 5 mph. EVERY time he says bullshiat, it speeds up 1 mph. If he lives to the end of his show, we let him do it all again tomorrow. He either gets a massive coronary and falls over the microphone or he learns to STFU and get in shape while orchestrating fair and balanced political commentary without being a Republican Goebbels and a coward.

/I hate Rush

When Clinton won in '92, I borrowed a pic of RL that our office dittohead had over his desk and taped a headshot of Clinton over the RL head and ran it thru the copier (Protoshopedtm?)and substituted it for his pic. Much merriment was enjoyed after he spotted it, as the entire rest of the office was very liberal.

EL_FABREZ: It seems the troops like Obama. But if the bible thumping rednecks and teabaggers (redundant?) want to give it a shot please, PLEASE, try it.


I like Obama.

WFern: /Stolen from another thread

In all seriousness, I was impressed with Limbaugh's defense of Michael Jackson against the media recently. It's the one and only time I've appreciated him.


That pic should be called Chinese Phone Book (just look at the CHINS). The GOP looks like House Harkonnen in it.

nekom: If a recent Vanity Fair article is to be believed, the average age of Limbaugh's audience is 67. I don't think you have anything to worry about there.

So what? The Holocaust museum shooter was in his 80s.

Well, in Limbaugh's defense, none of his three beards marriages produced any children.

Judging from the Rush listeners I've met, it would be the shortest, stupidest, most doomed coup attempt ever seen. It would make the Bay of Pigs look like D-Day. Please, by all means, go for it.

Yeah, had to have been 1992. Limbaugh wasn't on the radio in '82

Prospero424 [TotalFark] 2009-07-03 12:16:38 AM  
aba: He's becoming more and more inflammatory in hopes of someone finally just saying "stop" so he can scream "FIRST AMMENDMENT BLAH BLAH BLAH." It's win-win for him. Either someone eventually caves in and actually does something, or someone steps up and tries to get him off the air and he gets to scream about his freedoms.

My thoughts exactly. He's going to keep ratcheting it up until someone says or does something that he can play the victim and the martyr over.

Then he'll start the cycle over again.

THE most important thing for the American right at the moment is for their propagandists to convince them thoroughly and irrevocable that they are victims. And they're willing to glorify attacking their own country in order to do it.

This shiat will get out of hand. (Cue Fred Thompson pic)

I was stationed in the Army in Germany in 1982 and I don't remember ever hearing Rash Limpballs on AFNR...if he was my soldier comrades and I would have laughed at him as a loon!!

So people who don't want tyranny in the form of Obama et al (let's stipulate that is even happening for now) would prefer if the military took over? In America? What, a Junta?

Coo coo for cocoa puffs.

He's not the one who lied in order to send them to war.

Are you surprised that I think Rush is an idiot?

Have you no sense of sanity?

erik-k: Well, I should've known I was a fool to think I'd get more than 24 hours before one of them did something to justify posting this.

You know, they may be assholes, and they may occasionally inspire killers, but the second you start blaming speakers for the actions of doers you are entering dangerous territory.

Although it is deliciously ironic that some of them have railed on rap music, video games, and Hollywood for making people violent.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here, but you strike me as the type of person who is too narrow-minded to see anyone else who doesn't agree with you as a GOP tool.

Have a nice night....my beer is almost done with, so I probably won't be saying much more tonite.

I can think of few things less likely to happen than a military coup in this country.

Jesus coming back, for one. Or Rush getting it up without Viagra.

Hey, great idea, Crooks & Liars!

There's nothing like exacerbating counterproductive political sentiments instead of defusing them easily.

I mean, how many clicks would you have counted had you not hastily connected the dots, and refuted Limbaugh's argument on an intelligent, non-DID-YOU-HEAR-THAT-OMG!!!!! manner.

But I get it -- it's all about clicks and ad revenue and there's no better way to do that than to go for the quick, Fark-stirring sucker punch. Gotta make money somehow, and there's nothing illegal about doing it in an intellectually dishonest manner.

 
palexc 2009-07-03 02:28:18 AM  
juniperwasting: Keep up the crazy Rush, keep it up right until someone shoots at the Whitehouse, or trys to fly a plane into it. Wait a minute, that was in the 90's, the last time Rush was railing against a Democratic President. MMMM

No, those were just pissed off husbands/boyfriends of women Clinton boned.

Sociology is the same.

These folks take orders. They get punished if they don't. Anyone using troops against US Citizens would also be pumping the soldiers full of propaganda.

Can't count on the soldiers. I'm sure some of them would break away and do the right thing, but you can't count on it.

That's David Niewert for you. In my brief look at what he clipped, it didn't seem like Rush was calling for much more than us liberals called for during much of the Bush years.

I've been unimpressed with Niewert for years. He seems to think that he is the big defender of civil liberties but mainly he comes off as a scold that hates free speech for anyone but himself.

There have been lots of military coups over the years. I doubt they involved many people that joined up thinking that if there was a military coup, they would be the first to take part in it.
