FYI: Here is Rush Limbaugh’s take — or spin — from an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal about the conservative split over the Bush nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court:
“The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no ‘crackup.’ It’s a crackdown. We conservatives are unified in our objectives. And we are organized to advance them. The purpose of the Miers debate is to ensure that we are doing the very best we can to move the nation in the right direction. And when all is said and done, we will be even stronger and more focused on our agenda and defeating those who obstruct it, just in time for 2006 and 2008.”

Keep thinking that Rush, the rest of the republican party will wave “Bye Bye” as the door shuts you, the Neo-cons and the religious right out. It is time that the moderates take back the party or leave these losers in our dust. Then Rush and G.W can pass around the pain killers. Druggie!
Rush who?
When Pachyderm spinSounds like zen,It must be covering up deep chagrin.
tell rush to take a couple more pills, seems that he is in pain again.
Rush! Thumbs up man! Keep the leftist angry!
I use to work with some dito-heads.”Right on Rush…it is the unwashed masses that is the problem with this country!”. They agree every time Rush told another story of how it was the “Unwashed masses” that cause this country its socal ills. That was until they finally figured out that the unwashed masses that Rush was talking about were them.
Rush is an elitist, most of his listener are not the elite. They are sad, white, lower middle class and want someone to blame for being sad,white and lower middle class.
I did listen to him for a time, I found him laughable. He is so clueless and make money off the foolishness of his listener. Feeding self hatred and anger at being left behind in the race.
I listen to Rush every day. It is important to know the words of one who deludes so many.
Hey Joe? In another blog you said you did not listen to Rush. Um……..
Frankly, I don’t get the guys popularity. He is pro-life but he hates and has no kids. He is “pro family” but has been married 3 times and now actively BRAGS about his many mistresses.
He advocates personal responsibility and accountability for those addicted to drugs……and uses his vast wealth to avoid prosecution for his own abuse of drugs.He advocates for personal responsibility for medical care…..but has his own vast wealth to restore his hearing. One wonders if he advoctes public funding to help others similarly afflicted. One may wonder. I don’t , he doesn’t.
So Rush says division is a sign of strength. On premise, I agree! Will Rogers once said, “I don’t belong to an organized political party, I’m a democrat”
Deal is Rush lives on division. He is a vampire sucking the blood of unrest and discord. He has gotten very wealthy pretending to be every man and laughs all the way to the bank as he works actively against the interests of his own “ditto heads”
Rush Limbaugh is a self righteous ego maniac. He needs to make black into white and sell it. That feeds his megalomania.
Fact is, half of this nation sees conservatives as wrong. The conservatives themselves are in-fighting about who is right, and most of them with an agenda or crusade similar to ElRushbo.Deluded idealogues at odds is a sign of strength? FINE all for it! You righties go fight it out over who speaks for god, or who can “save” America from scary terrorists, or just how a Constitution written 200 years ago by rich white men is sacred and unalterable today. You all find a nice secluded corner where you belong and let the rest of get back to making America better.
JR! I never said I didn’t listen to Rush. I said I didn’t listen to Hannity. You can check it.
Rush is an ego manic. So is Micheal Moore. Both are spin misters.
I travel for work purposed across Kansas practially every work day and all I have is a radio in the vehicle. While I’m traveling I listen to NPR, and I listen to Rush between 11-12, for NPR comes back on again after noon.
I think Rush is hilarious. I like listening to him for the laugh. I don’t take him very seriously. He is an entertainer.
Yeah, Joe, that’s what all the ditto-heads say. Then they spout Rush-isms and think that they are their own ideas.
The man is a disease, a communicable disease. He spread by oral contact.
All my life I was taught to hate communists. The Soviets were going to bomb us any day now. I long ago read all of Ayn Rand’s books and thought her “virtue of selfishness” made a lot of sense.
Then a kid at a local college gave me a flier from the American Socialist Workers Party. It was the most intelligent thing I’ve ever read. That the “free market” which is supposed to be as inevitable as natural law is neither inevitable nor free. That workers who produce wealth should be able to keep some of that wealth. That people who make poison gas shouldn’t be richly rewarded in the “marketplace” while people who grow wheat are left practically destitute year after year.
I’m not a socialist. But I do believe we can create a better society, a more fair society, a more equitable society, and that the society we have is not “inevitable” by any stretch of the imagination.
Unfortunately, Rush justifies the status quo and ridicules any ideas that would make a better, more equitable society.
But then he’s got his, doesn’t he–a quarter of a BILLION dollars a year for his, uh, “entertainment.”
Galahad. How do you go about creating a better society, a more fair society, a more equitable society?
By reading the Nazi Party pamplet?
I’m mean that is great that you believe in a better tomorrow. I do to, but how do you get there? What is your plan and ideas?
Winston Churchill once said “If you are not a liberal by the time you are 25, then you have no heart. If you are not a conservative by the time you are 35, then you have no brains.”
I quit listening to Rush about 7 or 8 years ago. There were a few stories that he reported on that involved something I knew first-hand about that involved Wichita. There were innacuracies in what he opined about.
There was also his rant about The Lord’s Diner – something about people who didn’t really need food eating there (or something to that affect). I volunteer down at the Diner.
Actually, every news story that I have read that I have had first-hand knowledge about has had some innacuracies. It’s difficult to get the straight, unbiased news – especially in these politically devided days.
Rush is a moron who plays on the neocons unwillingness or inability to think for themselves. I would be impressed if 20% of his vomit proved to be based in fact. He is an elitist and those who listen to him (and believe him) somehow feel they are elite also just for listening to him. I have seen this many times with the people I have worked with.
