Amy - excellent , excellent article and most of all so true and that makes it very sad . What to say ?
Would you want to be represented by Limbaugh? This is at the very core of irreconcilable differences between the so called red & blue . We simply are unable to comprehend how anyone would put up with these blatant lies and blatant hypocrisy that spews forth from his mouth - WE CANNOT COMPREHEND IT! .
I know of no one on the other side who blatantly lies and spews hatred of this sort, the way that Limbaugh and deep throat Coulter do on a regular basis.
The self-proclaimed Most Dangerous Man in America.
If Limbaugh -- Rush...El Rushbo...Rusty -- is not the "face" of the Republican Party, he is its heart and soul -- and its mouth. He's the coward who crouches behind the "golden microphone" at the Exellence in Broadcasting (EIB) AM Radio Network and spews hate and filth 15 hours a week, wallowing ecstatically in his own vomit. He's the guy -- married three times, divorced three times -- who brags that he's a shining example for the "yoots" of America.
He's the guy who accused the President of the United States of murder, the First Lady of resembling a grotesque Pontiac hood ornament; the guy who referred to the First Daughter as the "White House dog." He's the guy who recently called John Kerry, a respected US Senator and Democratic presidential candidate, a "stupid SOB..."
Limbaugh's the guy addicted to Hillbilly Heroin (OxyContin) now facing ten felony drug counts who once declared that "too many whites are getting away with drug use. The answer," he said, "is to find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river..." For once, as he so often reminds us, Rush is right. A trip up the river for Limbaugh just might heal some of the wounds he continues to inflict upon this nation's once proud Republican Party...
There are many frightening things about Limbaugh, but none more so than the influence he exerts upon his millions of robotic "Dittohead" listeners, many of whom I suspect would do anything he asked them to. He launched them into a scary crusade against the music group, The Dixie Chicks, one of whom dared to criticize George Bush. Think how easily they accepted his explanation of the torture, abuse and even murder of Iraqi citizens held captive at the now infamous Bahgdad Abu Ghraib prison.
I just do not get this! ... I had a beautiful next door neighbor , who is now dead , anyway , he used to get a kick out of Limbaugh when he was on tv , he never took him seriously - to him he was 'entertainment' , but , whenever I came over to his house, at that time, he always switched the channel, as he knew without it ever being spoken that I would be adversely affected by this man.. He just knew that this kind of talk from anyone would upset me .. the harshness, the yelling the terrifying lies that would come out and no one there to refute them ... To me , he and deepthroat would be one of the ways I would recruit for Al Queada ... those two make it easy .....
The great divide is explained by these two 'voices' for the worst in our society and their popularity. Nope , just .. no comprendo ... goes along with rather spend your time at a barbeque with 43 than John Kerry ... Nope ,,, no way .... no comprendo again !!! ..
I do understand - these two are the extremes - and it would not bother me at all - IF - I repeat - IF - they were not so popular ... that is what bothers me ... that means there are people out there who like to hear , regularly , facts stated without substance , , which drip with hatred and blood drooling off their tongues - and that is what I do not understand . Why ? Why does anyone want to listen? Believe me , If we had someone who spoke like these two do .. I would not listen to them ! Just as I do not watch movies, etc. that inflame my sensibilities . I do not mind truth ... I love truth ... but when you just out and out lie and the people love you ... ??? NOPE !... DON'T GET IT ! ... CAN'T COMPREHEND IT ! .... no comprendo at all !!!
sorry ... for the rant ..
