girlscout's Blog

yikes girlscout.......pretty scathing blog there......I don't listen to him, nor do I even care....but gosh.....if all this is true, why in heck is he still being listened to? why does he still have a job? LOL

dprin - my reason for this blog was in response to some conservatives in our midst. They think that Rush Limbaugh is our country's "National Treasure". I had to set the record straight.

I don't listen to Rush but I do listen to Howie Chizek on WNIR. In my opinion it's a great talk radio show.

If a lying, drug addicted, solicitor of prostitutes is a National Treasure, then this country is in "deep doo-doo"! (Pardon my language!)
dprin - I said "some" conservatives think highly of him - not all do, thank goodness! And he is still being listened to because a lot of right-wing conservatives think everything he says is true!

Girlscout, where did you aquire this "list"? Was it from move on .org, home of the Liberals where there are womanizers also? At least Rush was not a President if/when he tried for illicit sex. Just remember, that door swings both ways and no one is lilly white.

mrick - This "list" was not from any one source. They are quotes from some of his shows and several of his books. They can be read by anyone. Check out any of his books from the Library. "The Way Things Ought To Be" is one of the books.

lol, half of these things are jokes/statements that are purposely exaggerated to make a point. But yeah, he is a little crazy.

As for the people above, Howie rules! Humanahumanahumana

"It has not been proven that nicotine is addictive or that cigarettes cause emphysema."

Rush lovers: care to explain how you think that's a joke or exaggerated?

Rush is nothing more than a demented, hate moger, war monger and fear monger. Rush and his listeners are very dangerous people. Anyone who listens to that man and agrees or choose to live their life based on what Rush says needs serious psychological help.

you guys are all funny. i like bob and tom in the morning. wake up with a laugh and live the day with the world on fire. we should invade lake county and make it the grape republic. declare war on the u.s. and surrender and apply for post war funds. make our own goverment and put girlscout and gorbash in equal power. at least the wine will be good!!!
aright mabe ive too many tonight.

Well, I am no R.L. lover, but, for one, context determines meaning, in all situations, but especially when grabbing random quotes. In the bible it is told that Judas hung himself and his gut spilled out on the ground, and also Jesus said to go and do likewise. Obviously those two passages are not found side by side, but the danger in throwing quotes around without the surrounding context is fairly obvious, no matter what or who you are quoting. For instance, are all of those quotes original, or was he quoting someone else? Were they said with a sarcastic tone, or an honest tone? Talk show hosts love to stir up controversy because it makes ratings. The people on Air America do it just as much an conservative talk hosts, its just nobody knows it because hardly anyone listens to Air American, hence them being bankrupt. So it goes.
