Well, simple, you want to see a successful slander suit against limbaugh, I was just pointing how you would **** all over the 1st amendment to "Get your guy", ragingly hypocritical as you have not condemed, then or now, maher or letterman for saying equally nasty things about women. I guess your chivarly ends far left of mine. :shrug:

Maybe haymarket is absolutely fine with ****ting on the 1st amendment. Many of haymarkets undisclosed political persuasion think the Constitution is an old, confusing and incomprehensible document that should be ignored. :shrug:

I have no idea why you are equating something which happened a few years ago with this incident from the news today.

Do you?

And I have no idea what I have to do with it.

I support the right of anyone who feels they have been slandered or libeled to take appropriate legal action - and that applies to anyone and everyone.

Well, seems you like it when folks like maher use mysoginistic vulgar snide comments towards women you politically disagree with, and only take issue when it's a woman activist hawking birth control, do you deny this?

Reprinting a tiny part of a larger post is intellectual fraud of the most dishonest sort.

And one cannot help but notice the glaring absence of a link so we can check actually what was being discussed in that tiny snippet.

What do you think should happen to limbaugh in a just world? Suspended for a week? removed from the air? what? Given we know your stance on what's funny and which women it's funny about, given nasty comments towards or about women, I would be interested in hearing your take on this.

It's not ok either way. I wouldn't care if it was a stand up comic, because they're supposed to say **** like that, but a late night host, you expect less crude humor.

I'm not saying it's ok because she was 18, I'm just stating the fact that the joke was intended to be about the 18 year old.

That's your fault, for assuming that because someone corrects you're obviously wrong assertion, that they must feel a certain way.

"Letterman’s “Top 10″ list Tuesday night focused on Palin’s recent trip to New York, and included several cracks: “Bought makeup from Bloomingdale's to update her 'slutty flight attendant' look,” Letterman said. But it was a line in Letterman’s monologue that set off a firestorm: “One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.” Palin was in New York with her 14-year-old daughter, Willow."

how in the world do you get that about being about anyone but Willow, nevermind the slutty comment. Jeesh the hypocricy is strong/

What do I think should happen to Limbaugh?

I would support three different things
1- any legal action taken against him in accordance with the law and the Constitution
2- any legal individual or group actions individual citizens or groups want to take to express their opinion of Limbaugh be it pro or con
3- placing Limbaugh on a much wider network like a national TV channel in a endless 24 hour loop so his opinions could be heard by more of the nation. If Limbaugh himself could not fill that loop I would be happy to add the talents of such people as Hannity, Beck, O'Rielly and others. The more exposure they get to more people, the better I would feel about it.

You seem to be attempting to commit another intellectual fraud. The comments I was agreeing with were Maher praising Obama for being the President to get Osama bin- Laden and how the GOP should be in love with him - thus the Malkin vibrator comment - which has nothing whatsoever to do with slander or libel.


BILL MAHER, HOST: If you just presented the Republicans with Obama's resume and didn't say who it was, they would erect statues to this guy. He killed bin Laden, he killed Gaddafi, he saved us from a depression. I mean all, just, just the killing alone, Michelle Malkin would name her vibrator “Obama.”

[Laughter]

JOSHUA GREEN, BLOOMBERG: Wasn’t going to follow up on that one. You could imagine what it would be like, I mean, if Bush were still in office he'd have one of those tear drop tattoos like you get for killing guys.

[Laughter]

GREEN: You know, they'd be putting up “Mission Accomplished” banners that are bigger than the AIDS quilt.

For starters, the 18 year old one was the one that was either pregnant or had just given birth at the time, and Lettermen made no mention that I can see that he knew that she had only brought the 14 year old to the game. He did not name the daughter by name and it makes more sense that he would be talking about the one that was old enough to be having sex and had already given birth outside of marriage. On top of all of that, he clarified later and said obviously he was talking about the 18 year old.

Once again, it was still a crude joke and I'm not okaying it, so keep that bull**** to yourself. When I see someone being wrong I correct it.

I don't think letterman cared wich daughter it was. but it turned out to be the 14 year old... Imagine if rush said Obama took one of his daughters to a Knicks game and got knocked up by one of the players?


You think this current fake firestorm over rush is huge, my god, and you would be on the front lines.

You asked me what I favored - I told you. if you advocate a suspension - that is up to you.

I would rather Limbaugh be seen in every house in America 24/7/365 on big screen hi-def TV screens.

It has to do with the killing of Ghaddafi and Bin laden. Malkin was just a very tiny part of that larger exchange..... which seems lost upon you in your obsession to find something on the sworn enemy of your ideology.

Sarah used to be hot... now is not.

And politically she has cooled considerably. Not a good year all around for Palin outside of the bank account. Of course, that is what she is about in the end anyway.

You are really really reaching so far you need two-hundred foot arms to grasp onto a life preserver. Saying somebody is not longer attractive because they are getting older is as American as apple pie and baseball. And it hardly slanders anyone. Or perhaps you should send my post to Palin and offer to testify at her suit against me? That would be delicious in more ways than I could count.

I must say that you have made my day. Picturing you hunched over your computer frantically doing all kinds of searches with combinations of terms just to try to nail me is really hysterically funny in its patethic desperation. :lamo:lamo

Got any more? ;)

I am totally serious when I tell you what I want with Limbaugh. You ask a question - twice - you get the same answer twice - and you whine about it.

The rest is on you.

I gave you an honest answer about what I would do with Limbaugh - put him on the air 24/7/365 in every home in America preferably on a big screen hi-def screen. And that is 100% serious. I can think of no greater utilitarian use for the man.

Do I think he is a pig? For saying what exactly? You left that part out.
