Democrats Launch Petition Against Rush Limbaugh

Limbaugh does better with the opposition in office I believe. This sort of stuff is right up his alley. Bravo Democrats for playing right into his hands.

Remember way back when after Clinton won the election pundits said that was the end of Limbaugh? Boy, were they wrong. Clinton gave Limbaugh more than enough material to keep him going. Now, while I don't expect Obama to be quite as giving as Clinton, there is still Pelosi, Reid, Dean, and Bidon to give him PLENTY of material for the next two/four years.

Ya left out Al Franken, I'm sure Limbaugh will have a close eye on him.
 
Sir Loin;1057902690 Pay closer attention next time said:
real dumb[/B]. And of course the rest of your argument is specious, go figure /]

Rush is a drug addict hypocrite...what do you think that says about anyone who gives him any credibility?
The fact is...the only people who do are the radical right who only listen to him because he plays to their beliefs.

Which again is why I say we should all encourage him to speak out as often as he can and I think the Republican party should embrace him...that's only good news for the rest of us.
 

First off, I was joking when I said you first. And that was offered in reply to having an argument about the differences between “your take” and speculation. Please do try to keep up while you are claiming I can’t keep up. MmmK?


The comment of mine that has you all a twitter, now again, is:

One more time, if you really insist on arguing that Limbaugh’s audience does feel disenfranchised, then start listing your sources and making your argument. Be sure to include how that feeling of disenfranchisement existed as you say it does, through all the years he has been on air, including when his party was in power. You’ll be hard pressed to apply your analogy with regard to a great many years since he came on air. This is your argument that you claimed I tried to invent, so have at it if you must simply insist on having this argument.


Or you could come up for air too. Before you start cherry picking my comments and editing them to fit this growing more pathetic by the second argument of yours, ya know that I invented? Chuckle.

So you cannot produce sources to back your claim, even though you imply that you could.

:rofl:rofl:rofl

Fail.

Credibility about what?

Just so you know, yeah I do generally give Limbaugh more “credit” than say.......... you. But then you are exactly the kind of irrational hyper partisan that you claim Limbaugh is. Go figure.

Hilarious coming from someone who just voted for a coke snorter and plagiarizer.

Hey why not go back to talking about his Holiness and me inventing your arguments? As long as you are lurching about about using the highly creative "FAIL" ruse? :roll:
 
Ya left out Al Franken, I'm sure Limbaugh will have a close eye on him.

He already has. I have some friends at work and I love them, but judging from whatever they mention about politics, it turns out to be whatever Rush has been saying. (much like a few of our friends here). Edwards was big a while back, of course. Now it's Franken and Obama, etc.
 
Ya left out Al Franken, I'm sure Limbaugh will have a close eye on him.

I left him out because the last I heard, his election is not yet certain. Besides, he will be literally number 435 out of 435 if he does eventually win. Franken won't be in a position to do much. Frank and Randall are much more fun because they hold high level positions in the Congress.

Why don't you back up your claims? You made the claim that there is demographic evidence to refute my statements. Yet, you consistently fail to cite those sources.

All I am asking for is that demographic data you claim exists. Why are you dogding and dancing around trying to avoid this as though you are an unwilling recipient of a suppository?

Allow me to SPECULATE as to what the real reason is behind this dodging and dancing:

You made it up. You LIED. The evidence you pretended exists does NOT exist. You are dishonest, and don't want to fess up to your dishonesty.

So dodge and dance to your hearts content. In the end, (pun fully intended) the suppository doesn't hurt all that bad.
:2wave:
 
This might be a good time to post this: :twisted:


"I, El Rushbo -- and I say this happily -- have hijacked Obama's honeymoon."

"What we just heard at the White House today was smoke and mirrors, and, of course, the Drive-By Media fell for it hook, line, and sinker. I didn't, which is why I remain enemy number one. Pioneers take the arrows, folks."

"I just said to Snerdley, 'Don't you get it yet? The media doesn't care what's in this bill. It's His, with a capital H. It's Obama's. And so all that matters is that it passes.'"

"This stimulus bill has $335 million to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Let's get out the Barry White music and the Love Unlimited Orchestra."

"My friends, I do have an apology to make to you. Were it not for me, MSNBC would have no audience. I single-handedly have bailed out that network for the fourth day in a row."

<snip>

"Damn well I intended to say it! I'll say it again now: 'I hope he fails.' Because, my friends, America wins if liberalism fails, and that's the bottom line."
<snip>

"Obama knows this stimulus won't work. The Democrats know it won't work, too, and yet they want to do it. So why do they want to do it? Well, it must accomplish something, and it does, folks: it buys votes."

"Barack Obama's demeanor belies the fact that he is who he is. You would never think he's an extremist unless you took seriously who his mentors were."

I took out a few graphs because I don't think we're suppose to post entire commentaries. I figured since you all were discussing Rush, you might want to know what he had to say.

The rest of the commentary is here (if anyone cares):

Wednesday Quotes: Resisting the Tug of Popular Sentiment
 
Did I not say the other day that the honeymoon was over?
 
BTW Shewter, I have not seen you since you quietly slithered away from another thread. You know the one where you vehemently argued with me again and again about comments I never made? Yeah the thread where you and RighOfCenter both kept yammering about another posters comments as being mine, despite the fact that I kept telling you they were not mine? Yeah that one, the one where once it became obvious neither of you knew what the hell you were blabbering about, you both just did the Batgirl and vanished without even acknowledging your mistakes and all the idiotic things said mistakes led you to claim?

Of course it did not worry me as I knew that kind of brave owning up to your errors naturally signaled that you would soon start trolling me and throwing your most sincere “thanks” the way of anyone I argue with. Chuckle. I can hear you as you “thank” away, go get him Tucker, that guy Sir Loin made me make an ass of myself and I ran away like a little girl. Ewwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!:baby2

Are you attacking me because you can't provide your proof to Tucker? Or am I just that compelling?

I don't claim to be anything but a partisan...but I am not a hypocrite like Limbaugh that says one thing and does another.

Sigh. OK, since you insist we shall do the deconstruct tango.

You posted your take and I pointed out that your comment was not quite true; I explained why. I also pointed out that the arguments that Limbaugh’s audience is merely the disenfranchised stupid and uneducated masses that so many STILL claim them to be, was long ago debunked. And I mean long ago. Gone (except in the minds of people like Middleground) are the days when one could claim the Limbaugh audience as disenfranchised Joe Six Pack and that is for whom Rush speaks, and still be taken seriously. This is in fact what the early attacks on his audience were and sometimes still are. It took a while for the demographics to demonstrate who the kind of people that listen to him and talk radio in general are. Which is generally well informed educated upwardly mobile and often affluent, but not exactly the non thinking Limbot/robot types. Fact of the matter is that Limbaugh has one of the most valuable and envied demographic bases of any entertainer in the world. Yet in 2009 we have posters like Middleground and others, who actually don’t know this and will even argue that this same audience is brainwashed and insert really dumb claim here.

This was all completely apparent in #61 http://www.debatepolitics.com/break...n-against-rush-limbaugh-7.html#post1057902223

Since you claim to work at a radio broadcast station and have yourself made similar comments as mine about the Limbaugh audience in this thread, what is it exactly you think you want to argue? What semantic hairsplitting are you on about? Do tell, because as you can see I’m not exactly intimidated or stonewalled by your more irrational tactics (his Holiness, I lied, I invented, I made up, I'm ignorant) and it started in #88 http://www.debatepolitics.com/break...n-against-rush-limbaugh-9.html#post1057902385 . Which is where you tried to trot out the argument that my comments were somehow off base because you did not argue context. While at the same time still arguing that Limbaugh literally said he wants Obama to fail. Yet in another post in this thread you admit you realize he did not mean that literally. Yet there you are arguing otherwise with me in #88. Dumb huh? And so it has gone, at your insistence, since then.

So tell me, which of my points about Limbaugh’s audience demographics is it I am lying about? And let me go you one better, I’m so eager to dodge and avoid this argument you insist on having that I’ll be glad to debate those points with you in a True Debate. I suggest you head to work and ask if there are any of the annual demographic breakouts from Talkers magazine around for you to bone up on. You see, despite your juvenile goads and pretense that I am lying, I tend to speak to matters and facts that I have a pretty firm command of and familiarity with.


So yeah, let us see if we can at last find some put up or shut up, or not. Either way you’ll find me more than willing to give you as much rope as you want here. When ever I make that promise I can assure you I mean it. I enjoy a good fight no matter the venue and I’ll be glad to disabuse you of this fantasy you are under where I am avoiding you in order to “dance” as you posture about. Frankly all I can see from your posts directed at me thus far is posturing.

Actually I’m not attacking you, I’m mocking you and the way you fled from the thread so bravely. I must tell you that people who make the kind of scene you did, but then flee rather than own up to the scene they made much of and got wrong, are not very compelling folks in general. In fact on internet debate forums they are a dime a dozen.;)

I don't claim to be anything but a partisan...but I am not a hypocrite like Limbaugh that says one thing and does another.
Hmmm you could not answer the “credibility” what question. Who knew?:roll:
 
Sounds like the ones that are going into a tizzy are conservatives over the The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee expressing it's rights of free speech against Rush.

The Rushbots don't like free speech when it goes against their mesiah Rush.

Oh this is rich; the Democrats are exercising their free speech by trying to deny Rush his free speech.

Yes folks, you just can't make up this liberal mumbo jumbo. If you won't join them, be censured. :rofl

The ONLY ones in the world and on this forum who can't stand free speech are the Liberals who constantly rail about how evil Fox News and Rush Limbaugh are; two supposedly minor players in the world of media empires.

But to compound the laughable state Liberals are in, they want to suggest that it was patriotic to impugn and hate George Bush, but wrong to say anything against Obama's plan to destroy the American economy and dream and they are out in fanatical droves to slam the small single voice in American that still has some reason; Rush Limbaugh.

The only thing more fantastical here is the silly assed notion being expressed by the drive-by media and Liberal Democrats that allowing the Government to spend us into a two trillion debt hole is the ONLY way to get us out of a recession.

It would be hilarious if it weren't such an impending disaster for generations of Americans and the future of our economy,

Carry on; watching you people rant and whine about Rush is about as amusing as watching you suggest that impugning the Commander and Chief while our troops are at risk is somehow patriotic. Yet now it is unpatriotic to suggest that Obama's plan is idiotic. Got hypocrisy?

:rofl

Oh my, now THIS is truly funny. Thank you Disney dude, you never fail to entertain with your blatant obfuscations and hypocrisy. :rofl
 
I hope Rush holds another ebay auction on this.
