Plain talk: Limbaugh should be ashamed, but isn't

Rush has done a better job of firing up the base than any Republican could hope to. With all the MSM and Local drive by media saying Rush said Fox is faking it, when that is a lie. He has turned the light on the Media, they are liars.

[CountryBumpkin]

Limbaugh, with his audience of like-minded flame-throwers, is a key player in the well-organized cabal that uses innuendo and, more times than not, outright lies to savage anyone who dares to disagree with the right-wingers who long ago took the Republican Party hostage.

Who exactly is the flame thrower, Mr. Zweifel? Much of your writing in the article comes across as hateful. I listen to Rush's show all the time. Rarely if ever do Rush and his conservative callers act like flame throwers or outright lie. Quite to the contrary, the discussions tend to be civil and of sound reason, usually with strong supporting evidence presented.

You have to hand it to them - they're very clever.

It is not a coincidence. A solid education, good reasoning skills, and strong moral values all add up to 'clever'.

Although few of them ever served in the military themselves, they've been able to turn war heroes into cowards.

Really? Who is 'them'? Conservatives? Republicans? Got proof? Are you claiming that liberals constitute most of the armed services? Who stated that John McCain is a coward? Do not just throw out unsubstantiated claims. I want names and dates. Are you confusing your 'coward' assertion with conservatives who disagree with some of John McCain's current political positions? Might you be using the term 'coward' as a form of political grandstanding shortly before a major election?

"Plain talkin'" liberals are only fooling themselves.

Thank God for Rush Limbaugh and dpeople like him.

Rush was right. Fox is an admitted liar, and has no credibility on this issue. I don't give a damn about his ailment. It isn't a license to inject himself into serious political debate without being called out as a liar.

[VictoryGal]

> Rush is indeed taking the heat for all of us by taking the lead in bursting the victim-shield bubble the liberals use.

I wish he had focussed on that instead of the faking/no meds angle which has muddied the message and generated sympathy for Fox.

His gyrations on the DittoCam didn't help either.

From Madison Wisconsin..heartland of the left wing communists and fellow travelers.

And, of course, there was John Kerry, a decorated and wounded Vietnam War veteran, who was made out to be a wimp

John Kerry said that he chose swift boat duty precisely because it was comparatively safe duty at the time he chose it.

The dems should be castigated for their cruelty to sick and handicapped people.

If Democrats really wanted to help people, they would suggest increasing the support for non-embryonic stem cell research.

It's obvious that hard-hearted Democrats think their "pro-abortion" agenda is more important than flesh-and-blood human beings.

[syriacus]

Rush Limbaugh may not be this country's most disgusting human being,

Rush is way less disgusting than the Democrats who are hiding the truth* from handicapped and ill people.

*That NON-embryonic stem cell research is curing people and embryonic stem cell research is fnot curing people.

[TigersEye]

If he had there wouldn't be any heat ... on Rush or the issue.
