Rush Limbaugh's Prediction

Only fools think that the media is objective. Agendas abound. ;) Pick a flavor.

Who said otherwise? Are you not familiar with the bumper sticker "Only Fools Believe the Liberal Media"?

I was mocking that sentiment.

I've never seen the bumper sticker, so I missed the ref. Wasn't refuting anything, was adding to the fun.

I haven't seen that pumper sticker. I have recently seen a few "Jesus is a Liberal" and "Jesus is a Democrat."

Was it? Are you trying to hold me accountable for that rhetoric? Go fish. Since I prefer moderates (right side Dems and Left side Reps) to Reps and Dems, I fail to see why you are trying to lay that on me. Take it up with the shills.

Please try to pigeon hole me, Upchurch, if you can. I am pro choice, pro intelligent use of contraception, pro legalizing marijuana, pro gun, pro personal accountability, anti-victim status, anti cult of the victim, pro free speech, anti hate speech laws, anti hate crime laws, and pro getting the government the hell out of my business in general. I am pro balanced budget, and pro debt reduction. I have been anti Walmart for about 15 years, and anti McDonald's since 1984. I have been anti Disney since about 1994 (when I read Hiassen's first book. :) ) I am pro nuclear power for power plants, have been for 35 years.

I am increasingly disdainful of the UN as a collective security organization -- I used to be a UN fan -- but it's a necessary body, warts and all, and better than NOT having one. I am for adding Russia to NATO, and for tossing the French out of NATO unless they return to the integated command structure.
I am for pointing and laughing at the WEU and Eurocorps fantasies. I am for getting all US troops out of Okinawa and South Korea. Our task is done there. I am for another massive reduction in the US troop footprint in Northern and Central Europe, but for increased base and logistic investment in the Mediterranean region within the NATO partnership. I am for a nuclear armed Japan. I am for a nuclear armed India. I am indifferent to a nuclear armed Iran. I am anti draft. I am for defending our southern border with a permissive RoE. I am for shooting foreign drug runners on sight on the border. I am pro death penalty, and pro swifter application of it. I am anti War on Drugs policy as implemented, it is an abject failure. I am anti "Three Strikes and you are out" and anti "Federally mandated minimum sentences." I am anti DHS, a bureaucracy that never needed to be made. I am pro Posse Comitatus. Empowerment of governors is a good check and balance, Blanco's screw ups is not excuse to pre empt governorial discretion. :mad: Louisiana got the governor they deserved. (We didn't get Kinky in Texas, which sucks, so we get Rick "The Hair" Perry for a few more years. *Gag*

PS: I am a Christian, and I find Falwell and Robertson to be jagovs, and the Pope a political meddler who needs to get back into his lane.

According to whom? As I am not the one who makes those claims, I ask you to take it up with whoever did. Swing voters are those closer to the center in either party, and those who are not party affiliated. I am pro pointing and laughing the Green Party, until they get serious about broadening their platform.

Which is why, in my opener, I closed with:

So, with my having opened the door to consider "liberal" you accused me of spin doctoring, and then insulted me with charges of being some sort of Limbaugh/Hannity apologist.

I suggest you get that notion out of your head.

Damn, considering the pervasiveness of the 'liberal media" meme, I thought that sticker would be pretty wide spread. I guess it's a local thing.

I have recently seen a few "Jesus is a Liberal" and "Jesus is a Democrat."

I've seen the "Jesus is a Liberal". I've also seen 'GOP: Gang of Pharisees".

Hey Zeus can join the military and get citizenship automatically. Hey Mexicans do jobs Americans don't want to do. Problem solved. :cool:

There's the solution to two problems, then.

Automatic citizenship for all immigrants who spend their first three years in Iraq, in uniform.

It's part of some people's personal fitness program, specifically the wrist muscle workout. :p

Seen my share, got the t-shirt.

I think it's overrated, personally. There are better things to do with one's time.

What the hell is with you guys? Kinky would have been a great goober.
Ann Richards had the job when I left Texas. You guys have really let the deal go down since then.

Yeah, I think Kinky would have been a breath of fresh air, if he could have actually paid attention to what was going on in the capitol building.

Maw Strayhorn was my second pick, since Maw knows Money.

Richards never impressed me much, but as I was out of state for her term as Governor, I may have missed a few details.

Your comment makes me ask this. Have you ever heard his program? Every so often he says something that makes me think.

I find that the people who relish in calling Limbaugh a Nazi are also the ones who later admit they never heard his radio program.

I've heard his program. It sucks ass. Reading his quotes doesn't do justice to the irksome smugness and condesention with which he addresses his admiring audience, which, based on the content of his message, could only be drooling simpletons (present company excluded).

One thing Rush has taught me is that often in the mainstream newspapers the real headline is buried deap in the story. And the "drive-by" media stuff like when the news was reporting that hundreds of people were raping and pilaging inside the Superdome after Katrina. It turned out false and then the media is on to the next story without a retraction. (I am not giving W a pass, just saying this report was untrue.)

My take on the Rush-bashing here is that we on this forum are so dag-blam opinionated we think our world political visions merit more attention than his, and he is so friggin' rich and respected with his zillions of followers there is a sour grapes componant about him here.

Didn't you just claim this recently and then were bombarded by responses indicating how wrong you were?
