"Limbaugh's full of shiat." I have to agree. He said that he is not going to sink to their level.

"Not going to sink to their level", while he says Limbaugh's "full of shiat" and endorses Al Franken, who constantly grabs his crotch while talking about Republicans he doesn't like and cusses everyone- journalists and politicians- out at Washington media events?

Whatever you say Wessy.

HumbleGod		2003-09-24 09:26:12 AM

Don't quote out of context, Raln. Here's the full line:
He said: "Limbaugh's full of shiat." I have to agree. He said that he is not going to sink to their level. He said that he needs us to call the radio stations and do what needs to be done.

From that passage, I get his meaning to be that he's not going to publicly proclaim what an idjit Rush Limbaugh is. Compare that to Limbaugh's continuous spewing of trash on the radio, for the whole world to hear.

I hardly think that saying privately (and he did say this privately) what we all know to be true is the same as sinking to the level of one who publicly proclaims little more than lies.

Raln		2003-09-24 09:34:55 AM

Point noted.

Finally, political discourse that I can understand.

upright		2003-09-24 12:10:39 PM

Damn, this thread's almost civilized.

Bullpen		2003-09-24 12:23:33 PM

Compare that to Limbaugh's continuous spewing of trash on the radio, for the whole world to hear.

Yup, sounds civilized to me.

CineKal		2003-09-24 12:33:25 PM

Yup, sounds civilized to me.

At least you didn't try to claim he was wrong.

impaler		2003-09-24 12:48:19 PM

Is Limbaugh in this thread? I don't think the quote "limbaugh's continuous spewing of trash" was directed at anyone here. Thus making this thread "almost civilized".

Also, please do try to argue Limbaugh doesn't spew trash - for my amusement.

hung82000		2003-09-24 12:48:23 PM

Compare that to Limbaugh's continuous spewing of trash on the radio, for the whole world to hear.

Yeah, because as a right-wing talk show host, he would do so much better if he didn't talk about politics. No matter what side of the fence you're on, politics=trash spewing.

HumbleGod		2003-09-24 01:44:57 PM

Yeah, because as a right-wing talk show host, he would do so much better if he didn't talk about politics.

But where else would I turn to keep getting reminded that Clinton is evil because he got a blow job? (Besides some Fark threads, I suppose.)

No matter what side of the fence you're on, politics=trash spewing.

I find that point hard to argue with.

HumbleGod		2003-09-24 01:48:53 PM

Let me also note an area of discomfort--while Clark did not himself sink to Limbaugh's level by publicly proclaiming him "full of shiat," he did encourage his faithful to "sink to their level" by asking them to call the stations and do so themselves.

scotto		2003-09-24 01:50:41 PM

Holy crap. I sure am glad I bought this house with a nookyoolerr attack bunker. *runs away*

Chick3_16		2003-09-24 02:30:49 PM

I've only seen Rush on NFL Countdown (I've heard of the trash he's said though), and I think he's full of poop there. Ann Coulter is worse I find.

swingbozo		2003-09-24 03:05:29 PM

I can't listen to that ass pimple without wanting to throw the radio across the room.

Peaceboy		2003-09-24 03:50:42 PM

This is going to get him in trouble. Fox News already owns the trademark for "Full of shiat" and will probably sue.

impaler		2003-09-24 03:56:25 PM

Saying Limbaugh is full of shiat isn't sinking to Limbaugh's level.

Limbaugh IS full of shiat. Saying he's full of shiat is NOT dishonest, nor a lie - which means it isn't sinking to Limbaugh's level.

E.g.: Donna Shalala said on CNN's "Capital Gang" that, "We sent not the best and the brightest's sons to Vietnam. Shalala had been referring to the sons of "the best and the brightest," a term coined by David Halberstam for the men in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.

After hearing this, Limbaugh, Oliver North and double G Liddy claimed Shalala said, "We sent not the best and the brightest (no 's) sons to Vietnam." They claimed that she said that those that went to Vietnam were not the best and the brightest. (Actually on the show, when someone said, Actually, the people who went were the best and the brightest, Shalala responded, absolutely.)

Josette Shiver, managing editor of the Washing Times, was on the show when Shalala made these comments and called Liddy, North and Limbaugh to tell them that their quote was wrong. Liddy and North both admitted on their shows to making an error, while one of Limbaugh's top people say, "that's her problem". This happened in April. In the June issue of the Limbaugh Letter he was still misquoting her.

Now with improved non-directional quotes for visibilty!

At least he didn't repeat the old joke:

Q: What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenberg?

A: One is a huge, flaming Nazi gasbag. The other is a zeppelin.

Peaceboy		2003-09-24 04:52:01 PM

Reminds me of when Limbaugh was on Letterman, this was back on his NBC show so it was some time ago... the interview goes along for a while and then Dave says something like, "do you ever sometimes think to yourself, 'you know, I'm just a big bag of hot gas'?"

Cyberluddite		2003-09-24 04:56:45 PM

I remember that, Peaceboy. On that same show, Limbaugh also made some crack about Hillary Clinton's looks, to which Letterman commmented something like, "And, of course, you can say that, because you are obviously the best-looking human being on the planet, right?" This was back in the days when Limbaugh must have tipped the scales at around 300 lbs.

JerseyTim		2003-09-24 06:44:37 PM

Ok, who is publishing love letters to Clark on the Internet?

LilMuffinBoy		2003-09-24 06:56:41 PM

lololol lambag is teh ghey!!!!111

Leonard_Cohen		2003-09-24 06:57:39 PM

I guess stating the obvious makes one presidential material.

helix400		2003-09-24 06:59:34 PM

Wow, if Clark can't last a week without making such a massive political statement...he's not going to last long

Hawkgirl		2003-09-24 06:59:42 PM

Rush is cool...Liberals are idiots...flame away....

therealscrodd		2003-09-24 07:00:55 PM

Rush Limbaugh is a dumb piece of shiat. The idiot couldn't even hack a single semester of college education. I wish Wesley Clark would show some real cojones and pray for his death.

Edsel		2003-09-24 07:02:37 PM

Sweet -- the daily evening-shift flamewar has arrived!

/happy

billeguerriero		2003-09-24 07:02:46 PM

whoa!...i am so behind the times...here i am thinking he was just a big, fat idiot

Yamara		2003-09-24 07:02:47 PM

So that was my experience. Hot, sweaty, powerful, and somewhat intense.

Wesley is a RIGHT manly man!

BigJake		2003-09-24 07:03:00 PM

General Shelton: "Wes Clark is full of shiat"

Hyernel		2003-09-24 07:03:55 PM

Well...one thing's for sure....

Wesley Clark sure tells the truth!

/Rush is a domestic terrorist

Edsel		2003-09-24 07:04:35 PM

I heard that after the event, Wes Clark drove his pickup truck over to Rush Limbaugh's house and pulled it off its foundation with his trailer hitch.

Nanookanano		2003-09-24 07:05:42 PM

"Full of sh*t" means 'having bad data' or 'coming to erroneous conclusions' not 'telling lies'.
Limbaugh probably believes what he says. He's just . . well . . full of sh*t.

mattos		2003-09-24 07:06:12 PM

Ok, who is publishing love letters to Clark on the Internet?

yeah i think we know what this guy was getting at when he said "Clark reminded me of Kennedy . . . Kennedy probably liked girls a little more."
from the gushing in that post i'd say he wants to give more to clark than a vote.
(assuming bleachers7 is a dude)

waitaminute...		2003-09-24 07:06:13 PM

Shouldn't the headline be subject to the "shiat" filter?

Warstrike		2003-09-24 07:06:13 PM

What, we're linking to other Blogs now? How lame is that? Meanwhile, my incredibly witty link regarding the overturn of the Do Not Call List doesn't get posted.

Yo, mods, lay off the Methanphetamines for a while.

Elysium26		2003-09-24 07:06:30 PM

Waaaa

BigJake		2003-09-24 07:07:27 PM

The Democratic Underground - for those times when the Yellow Times just isn't stupid and paranoid enough.

swahnhennessy		2003-09-24 07:08:00 PM

Sweet, a flamefest based upon a web entry that seemed to have been written by the smartest 7th grader in his/her school.

/Not even going to debate Rush.
//The asshole, not the band.

narcoleptic		2003-09-24 07:08:13 PM

Great use of tag.

SimuLord		2003-09-24 07:08:30 PM

First sign that Clark is worth voting for: The Republicans have their panties in a bunch about him. That's a good sign.

Anyone who the NaziCons see as a threat is OK by me. I'll be at the forefront of Republicans for Clark next year.

CMetzger42		2003-09-24 07:08:31 PM

Yep. I'm voting for Clark now.

supertbone		2003-09-24 07:08:33 PM

Wes Clark: "Mr Rove? Can you hear me now?"

VideoVader		2003-09-24 07:08:39 PM

Okay, now that this is up, could everyone please stop accusing the mods of being rabidly right-wing?

MyrnaMinkoff		2003-09-24 07:09:00 PM

Rush Limbaugh IS full of shiat.
His brother is twice as full of shiat.
Wesley Clark wants steak.

RandomRandom		2003-09-24 07:09:35 PM

Heh :)

He's got my vote.

Necco and the Loup		2003-09-24 07:09:37 PM

As a Republican, I think Clark is an interesting person and a good candidate. But stuff like this throws it off.

Also, why is fark so in love with Clark these past few days?

OccamsWhiskers		2003-09-24 07:09:53 PM

Oooh, sounds like some blogger has a crush!

MyrnaMinkoff		2003-09-24 07:10:28 PM

Also, why is fark so in love with Clark these past few days?

Seeing as how they always net at least 400 comments, I'd guess---because it's good for traffic.

dpratt		2003-09-24 07:10:34 PM

You people do realize that DU is the liberal equivalent of the crazy right-wing nutso boards out there, don't you? Do not expect anything based in facct to come out of either one.
