This is why I'm glad to be a libertarian! No one cares about my political views!

Seriously, Glen Beck of all people?! I always thought he was a republican for some reason....... I'm not too knowledgeable in political matters so I try to stay out of large arguments like that, but from what I've read, I come across as a libertarian given I support lessening government as much as humanly possible and supporting human rights. But I suppose you could say I lean more towards the anarchist side of Libertarianism, which I'm sure those dudes don't quite support. |

Eh, not too surprised you thought Beck was a Republican afterall he is very conservative and is even more loud than Rush. Anyway, that's why I put the note
in the post cuz I've seen people that call themselves a libertarian and they lean more towards liberalism, and then I've seen some that leaned more
conservative.

What do I think of Rush Limbaugh? Personally, I hope he dies on the air. I hope he has a heart attack during his show and nobody goes in to save him and I hope he takes his last gasp loud enough for everyone listening on the radio to hear. I don't wish death on people often, but Rush Limbaugh is a racist hypocrite druggie ignorant self-selling oxygen thief. I'm also hoping that Glenn Beck finally comes out and puts to rest these terrible rumors that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990. Now, I'm not saying that he DID it, because that would be silly. But the fact that he hasn't come out and denied it speaks volumes, I feel. I dunno, I'm just asking questions here, but Glenn Beck needs to just come forward and give proof that he DIDN'T rape and murder a girl in 1990. If he could just provide his whereabouts for all of 1990, this would all be put to bed. But hey, I'm not accusing him of raping and murdering a girl in 1990, but people are asking questions, and that's their right: to ask questions. I'm not saying he DID it, but he really should just come out and say that he did not rape and murder a girl in 1990.

Eh, that's my opinion of Limbaugh, I don't agree with the guy, but that can be said for most mainstream news anchors (I'm not sure if that's
the right word.) Like most news anchors, I don't listen to him, mainly because he's rude and obnoxious. I don't have any seething hatred for him, I
just don't feel the need to listen to him rant for an hour about the same subject, it's the reason I don't watch news channels.

There is absolutely nothing to show that Obama was born in another country when even the newspapers in the area had anouncements of his birth in their pages. While I'm no supporter of Obama, the burden of proof in this instance is with the Birthers and not the President; if they have evidence that he wasn't born in America then by all means he needs to be removed from office but until it comes out they're being idiots.

Eva from Wall-E?
EDIT: Yeah so...uh. Anyway. Full Metal Rayzor. I don't understand what you're saying. So, the birthers are idiots, unless they're right, in which case you stand with them. Yet for them to so much as put forth the idea or even try to look into it, to, you know, find out if they're right, makes them idiots. There is no utter lack of evidence as you describe; I linked some in my previous post. In addition to that, the Kenyan ambassador even hinted at this, provided it wasn't a misunderstanding of semantics As I mentioned in the last post, I'm not heavily invested in the idea. I'm not saying the birthers are absolutely and undoubtedly right. I'm just saying that I don't dismiss them offhand, because they have something (right or wrong) to try and support their case. And what they have is worth debating. Calling them idiots only makes you look intolerant.

You want to make sure the people vying for the Office are Constitutionally qualified. Comparing it to a rumor about a TV/radio talk show host is sort of aiming a little low. *glances at CastorTroy* In any case, what IS it about Rush Limbaugh that drives people absolutely batty? |

I'm still not part of this thread, due to it's lack of Canadian rock bands... and until Geddy, Neil and Alex appear I simply do not give a crap
(especially as I'm only vaguely aware there's a guy on the radio with a ridiculous first name)... but I cannot help but notice some of the rebuttals in
this endless quoting war seem to be "but Obama" or "Obama..." blah blah blah.
I could quote a line of text and say "This may be true, but Chuck Norris kicks eagles in the stomach so hard they explode, so I don't see how you can say it and expect it to hold water" --- my point here is. Unless the title is "What do you think of Rush Limbaugh in comparison to Obama?" please stop plaguing an otherwise intriguing debate thread with needless comparrisons. Just because a person dislikes Rush doesn't mean they automatically like Obama. Given I barely acknowledge either one's existance, I say this as an impartial source. Stop being petty. Debate properly. You owe it to me for making me think this thread was about the best Canadian rock band on the planet (and tied third best selling (in terms of albums) band on the planet after Beatles and Rolling Stones). PS: Rush are amazing. The band that is. |

Uh yeah...Sorry Craig? Even though I'm the one who made this thread in the first place and you don't even care about what we're talking about.
Well anyway I guess we are getting off topic dangerously. So more about Rush and less about Obama please.

Ultra Sonic 007 wrote:He manufactures outrage in people just so he can sell merch. He wishes failure upon America (and yes, the success of America is directly tied to the success of its president. Just look at what the previous administration's failures did to America both domestically and internationally (yes, I am talking about G.W. Bush here)) merely because he doesn't like the legitmately elected President's political party. This odious fat pile of douche, who once equated dissent with treason, is now rooting for American failure. He takes people who have real concerns about the things going haywire in their lives and whips them into a fury over a percieved unrelated boogeyman just so he can keep earning lots of money off their backs. He attacks, misleads, lies and yells so much that it's hard to discern what he really believes and what he SAYS he believes. He's a filthy race-baiting bigot (his comments on Donovan McNabb right before ESPN fired him). He trashes the sick because they disagree with him (like his repulsive 'jiggle dance' imitation of Parkinson's sufferer Michael J. Fox). He railed against medical marijuana even while he popped Oxycontin like they were Skittles, and was caught carrying Viagra without a legal prescription in from the Dominican Republic (a massive center of the sex trade). This makes him a bigot, a douchebag and a hypocrite. In fact, at this point I'm convinced that he was EXPECTING to lose the bid to partly-own the Rams just because he knew losing it would give him something to rail about on his show and stay in the news (which he did when he went on his 'my trials mirror the trials of AMERICA' rant). Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are the real-life realizations of the movie 'Network'. They're entertainment figures who have fooled people into thinking that they can lead movements, just like the deluded Howard Beale. They say whatever makes the public wallet cough up more money to them, gleefully playing on the real fears of people who were bankrupted by the Republican party over the last ten years (starting with the deregulation bill authored by Phil "America is a nation of whiners (said 6/2008)" Gramm that got us into this mess in the first place) and turning them into a screaming mass of incoherent rage for their benefit. So yes, I hate Rush Limbaugh. I hate his greed, I hate his rhetoric and I hate his desire to see America sink into the abyss just so he can bankroll more drug and sex-fueled trips to the Dominican Republic. And YES, Birthers are butthurt racist idiots who just can't seem to fathom that "one o' them DARK PEOPLE" is president. They are completely 100% racist to continue to make such suggestions at this point. There is a birth certificate. It's been there the entire time. A 'CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH' IS A 'BIRTH CERTIFICATE'. End of story. The only way you could still argue against Obama's citizenship status is if you're both an incredible racist AND impossibly deluded. PS: No, I'm not going to link you to a damn thing. Just plug the key words into Google. Do your own damn footwork if you want to defend the retched hatebeast. Besides, not like anything I cite would just be meant with keening wails of "But the CONTEXT HERP-A-DERP!" ![]() |

I don't really care too much since I don't know too much about Limbaugh, but I will say what I think from the things I know.
I think he's a stubborn arse mainly, purely for his piss taking of Michael J Fox's shaking brought on by the medication for his Parkinsons disease, claiming that he was exaggerating them and so on, followed by the standing by his opinions even after medical experts explained the situation, he continued to refuse to apologize. Having seen the extreme affects of Parkinsons disease on my own grandfather up until his death 9 years ago that strikes a hefty cord with me. However I chose to just avoid paying attention to him from that point on, only coming across a few things every now and then which I just shrug off and don't care, which means also that if he has apologized I wouldn't know, but would appreciate it. |
