i guess now rush's criticism of some guy who is going to jail because he pretended to be a soldier, who never was in fact a soldier, is somehow attacking veteran war critics? seriously?

does the far left have ANY interest in actual debate?

why does the media matters quote end where it does?

this organization is teetering on the brink of insanity...if it hasn't already crossed that line.
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    I'm not sure what you are talking about, but citing actual quotes (not from Rush, but from what the people actually said, in context) would be helpful.

    fair enough:

    Here's the guy he was talking about, an actual phony soldier.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Macbeth


    A guy who pretended to be a veteran.

    Again, notice where media matters STOPS his quote...he went on to talk about this phony solider into detail...media matters doesn't really want people to make informed judgements though.

    this has nothing to do with an illegal war that has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people

    when will people stop nit picking the small stupid shit that fits their view and agenda and start dealing with the real issues?

    probably never from some of them, considering they have lost almost all justification for these actions

    and seriously, what the fuck are you doing still listening to Rush Limbaugh for? i think he has been thoroughly proven to be a fraud. anyone that aligns themselves with one politcal party and stance so staunchly is just a flat out fool

    he acts like the word liberal is evil :rolleyes:

    grow up Mr Limbaugh and have some real discussions, otherwise your just a fucking joke

    Do you comb through other any Fox shows for facts? That should keep you busy for a good while.

    because he's the most brilliant political commentator of our time...i mean, he's no chomsky or zinn...and he doesn't play the guitar...

    but you gotta give me credit for calling this "controversy" 3 days before it unfolded...

    it's revealing...

    Well we want to understand everyone's perspective right? wanna get President Tom's perspective, and hugo chavez' perspective...why are you so unwilling to engage in a dialogue with conservatives?

    why is it so easy to label conservatives as hatemongers but so uneasy to criticize whack job heads of state?

    I don't see any of it that way at all. I don't see "conservatives" or "liberals."

    I see humans doing the political thing.

    I'm guessing you do see conservatives vs liberals. liberal attitudes are tolerant, virtuous, and moral...conservative attitudes are based in greed, and are hateful, and don't forget the hating the children thing. I mean... i can't tell you how much glee we have in denying children's health care with the S-SHIP thing. Be honest, you think rush limbaugh is a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc. that's the template. conservatives ARE that way. that is why you responded with "LMAO"

    keep on living in that template...it's not going to make you feel better.

    Now you're doing the political thing. Well, you always do.

    and another thing...Rush is the greatest political communicator of our time because he INSPIRES you...listen to his show and you feel inspired...

    you read chomsky and zinn...of course you are going to have your head half into the oven...who the hell wants to sit there and be belittled with guilt? don't we have enough guilt?

    No guilt here.

    That's your own dichotomy.

    The point is, it doesn't matter. American politics as it is, is utterly complete garbage, Rush Limbaugh and many others, included.
    I don't need them.

    Secede!
